GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
Is Claim ed by Hong Kong Papers, Due to
Capture of Spanish Gun Boat Recently.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 30.-The Hong
Kong daily press is the authority foI
the statement that 300 Spaniards, in
Guiding sixteen priests, lost their lives
several weeks ago. when the Spanish
gunboat Leyte was captured by vessel
belonging to Admiral Dewey's squad
ron.
The Leyte had been stationed in an
adjoining island, where the Insurgents
were numerous and aggressive. The
latter were gaining ground rapidly,
causing the 900 Spaniards to board the
sailing vessels III their endeavor to es-
cape from the natives. The gunboat
Leyte undertook to tow the transports
into Manila bay, where the Spaniards
aboard were to surrender to Admiral
Dewey If 1t did not succeed in landing
them somewhere and reaching Manila
under cover of darkness.
After the Leyte had towed them
down Pampangas river and some dist
ance along the coast, heavy storm
came up. making it necessary for the
gunboat to cut the tows loose and Pro-
ceed to Manila for assistance. Before
getting there, she was captured by the
Americans. The next day an Amer
ican vessel was dispatched to find the
three transports, but failed to discover
any trace of them. The natives on the
adjoining coast say that they saw moth
ing of any vessels. The Chinese EN-
peror has issued an edict that European
and American missionaries and con-
verts shall be fully protected.

A LABOR SAVER.

Division Foreman Gibbons, and his as
sistant, Charles Ellicott. have just CON-
pleted another Iabor-saving device in the
shops, at this place. They have taken an
old hand power screw press, which had
been in use at the shops and converted it,
by the materials they had on hand into a
No. hydraulic press, answering the same
purpose as the ordinary hydraulic press
used by the railroad in their large shops,
which costs thousands OF dollars.
This press has an extension power of
thirty tons and the great advantage
gained over the old one is that where it
took twelve men to do the work, one man
answers that purpose, thus making 1t a
great labor and time saver, which OF
course is money to the company.
This press is used mainly for putting in,
and taking out driving boxes, straighten-
ing heavy work, and work on bushings
and side rods to locomotives.
