SEAPORT DESTROYED.
Venezuelan City Shelled and $50 Persons
Killed and Wounded.

General Paroles, former COM
mander in the army of ex-President
Andrade of Venezuela, who has re-
fused the demand made upon him by
General Cipriano Castro and the de
facto authorities to surrender the
town of Porto Cabello. even when this
was re-enforced by the request of the
British, American, French, German
and Dutch commanders, surrendered
Sunday morning at 10 o'clock after a
terrible battle.
The aspect of the city Is one of ruin
and devastation, and 1t Is estimated
that upward of $50 persons We're killed
or wounded during the fighting.
Dr. Braisted, of the United States
cruiser Detroit, and the other sur
geons of the various warships in the
harbor are ministering to the wants
of the wounded.
General Ramon Guerra began a
land attack upon the town and the po-
sition of General Paredes on Friday
night. Desultory fighting continued
until Sunday morning about 4 o'clock,
and then a fierce struggle ensued.
General Paroles made n stubborn re-
sistance but General Guerra forced an
entrance into the town.

IMPURITIES IN BREADsTUFFs.
Adulierated Food is The Scourge Threatening
Humanity.

Senator w. Il. Mason, OF Illinois, of
on manufactures, began n session of
The subject of the days examina-
tion was the adulteration of beer, ale
and porter. Gallus Thomann, of the
local Beer Brewers Association, said
that the brewers Of the United States
We're much opposed to any adultera-
ton of beer. He believed, he said,
that the foreign beers imported here
in bottles were reserved by an anti
septic, probably salacylic acid.
Prof. ii. w. Hart declared that
every college should have chair Of
diettetics. He said the persistent adul-
teration of all classes of food was re-
sponsble for the present degeneration
Of the race. and would be responsible
for future generation of idiots.
White bread, Mr.. Hart declared, to
be the scourge of humanity, and he
would sooner eat the cheapest bread
baked in the dirtiest slum of New
York city than the best aerated bread
manufactured. He advocated the use
of whole wheat bread, and said that
the appetite for beer Is a result of the
craving of the system for the life-giv-
ing elements that are taken from
wheat by its manufacture into white
flour.
Mr.. Hart said that he would prohib-
1t the use of glucose In beer. and
would suggest law compelling
brewers to tell on their labels the
component parts of the liquor in the
bottles

PEMNED UP IN 4 BURNING CADOOSE.
ONE MAN DEAD.
Double Headed Train Crashes Inio Standing
Freight on The Erie Road-Flames
Threaten Imprisoned Crew.

For half an hour three men were
cooped up in the caboose of a freight
train on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad at McKees Rocks near Pitts
burg Sunday night, while the car was
burning, and before streams of water
turned on by the fire department had
succeeded in quenching the flames.
When this was done one man was
found dead and two others were badly
injured.
Alfred Carter, aged 80. engineer, RAN
kin, Pa. married.; scalded, mangled
and burned; death instantaneous.
Russell Upton and Thomas Brown
were injured.
a heavy double-header freight run
ming at high rate OF speed crashed
with frightful force into the rear Of a
freight standing on the tracks.
When within n hundred yards OF the
train the engineers and firemen of the
colliding freight jumped and saved
themselves. The unfortunate men in
the caboose had no warning of what
was coming and were caught like rats
In trap.
The trains came together with great
force. So severe was the impact that
the caboose was forced, twisted and
smashed on the top of the rear OF the
first train. The tender I'm the rear Of
the first colliding engine was forced on
'ih' 40 Wtlt Doln tnc locomotives.
Twenty cars were piled on top of each
other, and II is estimated that the dam
age will reach $4,000 or 10000.
Immediately after the shock of the
collision the timbers OF the caboose
were discovered TO be I'm flames. Then
the cries OF the imprisoned men were
heard, and those who rushed to the
scene realized that quick action was
necessary In order to prevent n holo-
caust. There being nothing at hand. n
call for the volunteer department OF
the borough was sent in. and they
quickly responded. During the playing
of the hose on the cahoose the means
of the injured men could he heard pro-
ceeding from their place of imprison-
ment.
Carter was found pinioned between
two of the timbers of the wreck. When
he was extricated II WAS discovered
that life was extinct. He had been
killed instantly. Both Upton and
Brown We're then tenderly removed
Both We're placed on train. along
with the remains of the dead engineer
and sent to Pittsburg.

LATEST SAMOAN TREATY.
England Renounces All Rights in The Islands
But Receives Other Grants.

1t is stated on seemingly accurate
authority that the following are the
principal points of the Samoan treaty
now believed to have been agreed on
by England, Germany and the United
States:
England renounces all rights in Sa-
moa. The United States gets Tuttuila,
in which is situated Pago Pago harbor.
Germany acquires the two larger is
lands, Upolu and Savaii.
In return Germany renounces her
rights to the Tonga and Savage is
lands, south of Samoa, and cedes to
England two of the eastern Solomon
islands near New Guinea. The Eng
lish consulate in SaDioa and the Ger
man consulate in tn. Tongas are abol-
ished.
AS part of the treaty, an arrange
ment between England and Germany
in the Togo district OF West Africa Is
made. A special committee regulates
the frontier of the Togo Tintuland un-
der the following principles: The Daka
river becomes a neutral zone; Germany
gets Yendi and England Salaga. In
1902 Germany renounces her consular
jurisdiction in Zanzibar.

cheeks when the naval officers greeted
him.
When all was ready the Holland
sank to depth OF ten feet while going
at full speed. After going a mile she
shot to the surface, her turret coming
into view. Ten seconds later she again
disappeared. Within the ten seconds
she corrected her course. having de-
waited only 20 feet from the true course

course. A second trial was equally
successful. the torpedo being fired
