q circle of Spanish chips. i
Later in the day Commander Converse

of inquiry here. The court held Its usual
sessions to-day, examining the divers.
Only the Spanish divers were at work,
and they only occupied part OF the day.
The wreckers are steadily removing the
upper deoris OF the wreck, some ot
which will be dumped Into the sea.
Other portions OF the wreck are worth
saving.
Senator Proctor left here to-day for
Key West, and will go 10 Miami by to-
morrow's steamer.

The trouble arose through a plague,

In the suburb OF Bycaulla. The resi-
dents barricaded themselves In their
houses and fired blank cartridges from
their windows. which drove the rioters

The two members OF the Shropshire
regiments who were killed were walk
ing unarmed.. The mob battered IN
their skulls.
Many European. officers and many po-;
ltcemen were severely handled and SER,
iously injured. In several Instances
Europeans who were traversing the
native section OF the town alone were
beaten or stabbed. Some were danger
ously injured.
LONDON. March especial dis
patches from Bombay, say the riot
broke out at noon. among the low caste
Hindoos and Mohammedans against the
Europeans. 1t had its origin In an at
tack upon a plague search party Two
soldiers, as these dispatches were sent,

THERE WERE OTHERS,

Bat These Two Boys Thought There
Were Only Two Girls Ia tho World FOR
;Them-A Singular Tragedy. =
LANCASTER, Pa, March 9.---Roy
Gehrig, OF Milton. Pa, shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Will B. Davis. Of St
Clair. Pa. at Alille-sville, to-day, and
then killed himself.
The boys were pupils OF Plerce's busi-
ness college, at Philadelphia, and went
to Millersville on Saturday to call upon
two lady students at the normal school
there. They returned to, the village last
night about 10 o'clock and securing a
room at Hoak's hotel, retired immedi-
ately. Early this morning the inmates
OF the place were startled by a fusi-
lade OF pistol shots and q moment later
Davis came running down stairs with
blood gushing from several wounds in
his face. Another shot was heard, fol-
lowed by the sound OF body falling to
the floor. Davis ran into the bar room,
exclaiming MY. chum shot me-
Davis was in bed when Gehrig, who
was walking about the room, drew q
pistol and fired three times in quick sue
ccssion at Davis. One bullet struck him
in the left temple. another entered his
upper lip and came out under the ear,
and the other struck him In the right
wrist.
Those who rushed to the room where
the tragedy occurred found GehrIg ly-
Ing on the floor with bullet hole in
his left temple. He died without regain
Ing consciousness. A note written by
Gehrig and found near his body gives
his explanation OF the tragedy as fol-
lows: i .lgI
h We are dead in love with Alice Cum
minGs and Annie Holmes and not being
able TO see them. and they keeping
away from us, We resolved to take our
lives. My name Is Roy Gchrlg, OF NIL
ton. Pa., and the little fellow is VIII
liam Davis, OF St. Clair. Please notify
our parents at once. We would like to
be ccemated. SO notify our parents at
once"
Davis says he knows nothing of the
note and denies there was any compact
to commit suicide. From what can be
learned It seems that Gehrig who was
introduced to tho ladies by Davis was
desperately in love with Miss Cum
mings and that he and Davis had dis
pute over her. Gehrig then, 1t is sun
posed. decided to kill Davis and then
take his own life, and wrote n letter to
make the affair appear like a double
suicide. They were each about nineteen
years old. .IE---
