Commissioners Crdeit the Report to

Talk About the Islands Explained.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-There will be no joint
session of the peace commission today.
| The Americans had three hours meet
ing today.
The report from Berlin that Germany
is negotiating for the purchase of the
Caroline islands is confirmed from sew
eral quarters, although Count Won Mos
ter Ladenburg, the German am mbassador
here, informed a correspondent of the
Associated Press that he knew nothing
at all about the matter.
The American commissioners are in
clined to believe the report, and it is
looked upon as explaining the reluctance
of the Spaniards to give the Americans
an answer in regard to the Carolines, as
we'll as to the question of religious lib
erty there, and the latest developments
confirm the report that the Spaniards
have been instructed not to yield on
these points until they have made q
good bargain.

A STEAM PIPE
WAS BURSTED
Six Men We're Killed on Board the
Alamo at Her Pier in the East river
at New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Six men of the
Mallory line steamship Alamo we're
killed tonight by the bursting ofa steam
pipe while the vessel lay at her pier in
the East river.
The Alamo was about to sail for Gal
weston with thirty passengers, when her
boilers gave forth roar which was heard
all through South and water streets, and
the force of it sent shock and shiyer
throughout the length of the ship. The
flooring of the deck Immediately over
the engine-room was torn into splinters,
and steam poured up through the open
seams in clouds.
The sound of the escaping steam was
mingled with the shrieks of the diving
men, who were enveloped in it. The
flow of the steam was checked with
great difficulty, and not until the lapse
of five or six minutes Then it was
found that it had completely filled the
engine-room and fireroom, and that all
who had been confined had not only
been parboiled, but suffocated by it..
There was no sign of life left in any of
the bodies, and In several instances the
skin had peeled from their hands and
faces. The second engineer was found
close to the break, in position which
indicates that he had tried to shut off
the steam at the boiler when the acci-
dent occurred. and had died in the at
tempt. Two of the fremen were found
gripped in each others arms at the bot
tom of the ladder leading from the fire.

DE TURKS BOARD BILL
II. s. Hartenstein Wants a Lot for
Feeding Him Over Six Years

| The suit Of M. s. Hartenstein against ].
G. de Turk was on trial yesterday before
Judge Van Dyke. The plaintiff says that
he worked for the defendant Several years
ago. and that the amount in which De
Turk became indebted to him was $40. In
September, 1883, the defendant went to
board with Hartenstein, and stayed there
until Feb. goth. 1898, at which time the
board and washing bill had swelled up to
the sum of 5000. Then Hartenstein
wanted to know where he came in, and De
Turk told him, SO he alleges, that If he
would keep on taking care of him he would
make a deed to him, free and clear of all
incumbrance, of a lot at the corner of
South Pearl and West Eighth streets, upon
which there is now a house. Plaintiff &C.
cepted the offer and continued to have the
defendant as his star boarder until the
goth of August, 1896.
When Hartenstein felt assured that De
Turk was going to deed him the land and
after the latter had in fact, turned it over
to the plaintiff, he built house upon 1t
valued at $4,000, which was completed in
May, 1893. Ever since Hartenstein has had
open and notorious possession of the prem
Uses. Beside building the house, Harlem
stein had the lot graded, filled in and fenced
and made other improvements, which he
considers to be worth S525. The plaintiff
has calculated that these expenditures and
the money due him by the defendant aggre-
gate $4,000. He has been told that unknown
to him and in violation of his promise, De
Turk mortgaged the Pearl street lot, to-
gether with other property, for $4,000 in De-
cember, 1894. On October 18th. 1897, Hart
enstein went to the defendant and told him
plainly that he wanted him to deed over the
property, free of incumbrance, at once, and
to that effect he had brought along deed
which needed only De Turks signature to
be complete. The defendant refused to
sign it, and the plaintiff began his suit for
relief as we'll as for $500 damages for De
Turks failure to comply with his verbal
contract.
The defendant denies that he Is indebted
to Hartenstein for any sum whatever. He
claims that he never promised to deed the
lot on Pearl street to the plaintiff, and
says that far from Hartenstein having
built the house and assumed open and no.
torious possession, it was he himself who
had the house built. and Hartenstein never
occupied it, except as tenant at will. De
Turk frankly admits that Hartenstein asked
him to give him deed to the property but
that he sent him to the right about.
Among the documents is letter from
Niles Pease, former employer of Harlem
stein, who wrote to Judge Van Dyke to
eulogize the character Of the man. He
says that Hartenstein is honest and relia-
Bile, and that there is no doubt but that his
claim is an honest one. All he has Is In
volved in the case, because he placed i'm
plictt confidence in De Turks promise and
did not get them committed to writing.

concluded that there was reasonable evil

jay for trial on a charge of grand larceny,
alleged to have been committed by them
on January 31st to the prejudice of one
Saunders. All parties are secondhand
dealers, and James D. Steele exchanged
the contents of a store situated at 255 South
Main street for Saunders ranch. After the
trade was concluded and delivery had been
made Steele and his son caused $500 worth
of the goods sold to be removed surrept-
tiously to a barn, where they were kept
until the store reverted to Steele. The de-
PENDANTS are not satisfied with Justice
Young's order and have sued out writ Of
