BOLD WORK OF HIeHwAyMEN
A Man Held Up and Robbed at a
PISTOLS Point.

The report of q hold-up and highway
robbery was made at Police Headquarters
Saturday when Milton d. Killinger a car
penter, who lives at 224 ThiTteen-and "a
half Street southwest, complained that he
had been robbed by three white men at an
early hour that morning in the reservation
Just back of the Pennsylvania Railroad
station. The robbery was committed at
the point of a pistol and the amount Sc
cured by the highwaymen was. according
TO Mr.. Ki.iinger, s162. In addition the
robbie. secured a ticket TO Baltimore. Mr.
Hiliinger was a caller at Police Headquar-
ters again yesterday morning. and fur
nished full details of the robbery, with the
result that detectives were assigned to the
case. The work appears 10 have been that
Of three characters well known 10 the po-
lice. and their arrest will probably follow
today unless they have left the city
MIR. killinger said that he was in the
neighborhood of the Pennsylvania station
when he met three men, whom he aecosted
and asked where he could procure some
whisky. The men volunteered to get the
liquor, and were given % cents with which
10 purchase it. A short conversation fol-
lowed after which one of the men Grew a
revolver and, thrusting it into the face OF
Mr.. Kiilinger. ordered him TO proceed with
the trio 10 the park in the rear of the
depot. Mr.. KillingeT was warned TO make
no outcry and TO offer no resistance. While
one man covered Mr.. KiHinger with the re-
yolyer the others walked one on either side
and conducted him TO the park, where they
proceeded in a business-lille way TO search
him
The men went through every pocket in
their victims clothes until they finally
found the money and the railroad ticket.
They then turned him about, and, after ad-
monishing him TO walk straight ahead and
10 make no noise. disappeared in the dark
ness. Mr. Killinser felt that he was at
the mercy of desperate men, who would
not hesitate to kill him. and he wisely
did as commanded. He proceeded TO Police
Headquarters to make complaint and see il
there was not some chance OF recovering
his money and capturing the criminals.

ton with a charge of suspicion entered

WATCHING FOR A STORM.
Nothing Heard From the Alleged
West Indian Hurricane.

Much apprehension was caused yester-
day by the report that fresh hurricane
was forming south of Porto Rico. Early
yesterday morning the Weather Bureau
officials began an extensive search for the
new tornado. and received reports that a
very high barometrie pressure prevailed in
a circle just above the Caribbean Sea,
which is a noted breeding place for tropical
storms. This high pressure is noted as a
danger signal but up TO late hour last
night no reports of Importance had been
received by the local weather officials.
The wind velocity at San Juan, Porto
Rico, has not been higher than six miles
per hour during the past twenty -four
hours, and no immediate danger is appre-
hended The barometer has been steadily
falling at this point, however, and similar
reports come from other stations in the
West Indies. While this is regarded as a
possible sign of a coming hurricane, the
officials state that ii viii be some time be-
fore the storm can reach land and do
damage.
Prof. Eazen, the local forecast official,
stated last night that the Weather Bureau
was not taking any chances with possible
hurricanes, and that while the high pres
sure at certain points might not denote
anything serious, it was also possible that

south of Porto Rico, and rigid watch is
being kept up, so that timely warning can
be given in case of any outbreak.
The indications show that the breeding
hurricane is somewhere above Port OF
Spain, in the island of Trinidad, on tbs
coast of South American, and IS it is well
out at sea no definite data can be obtained
until il strikes land somewhere. The re-
ports from San Juan last night state thai
all is well and that no danger is appre-

steel Vessels for Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27.-The Mexican
Government has recently placed here large
orders for boats and machinery. One OF
these orders was for twenty-fiv steel boats
five of them steamboats, and twenty
launches. No explanation was given as tc
these boats, but they are apparently fol
military purposes, as they are steel
throughout, have steel sheds, and are equip
ped with machine guns. The order was sc
large that the Johnson Iron Works has es-
tabyShed a shipbuilding yard at Algiers
opposite New Orleans for the construc-
tion of these Mexican vessels. One of the
steamboats, left few days ago. and another
will leave this week. The Mexican Govern
ment also purchased two vessels here fol

repair of cars and has established shops or

extra cars for the negroes.
The race question in the Southwest Is
generally assuming an industrial form,
which is operating unfavorably 10 the ne
gro. by turning against him the white la
boring classes, who believe that they are
being crowded out of work by negro COM
petition. or that the standard OF wages is
kept low because of the small pay for
which negroes are willing to work. The
prevalent feeling in the Southwest, there
fore. particularly in those sections where
there are manufactures, is that 1t would
be wholly advantageous TO get ria OF the
negro altogether. The result is such dem
onstrations as those of last week at Or
ange. Tex. and Tangipahoa, La, which
are but two of many similar incidents oe-
curing in all parts of the Southwest. The
coming Census, therefore, viii show de-
crease of the negroes in most of the dis
triets, and their congregation in the larger
towns and cities. where they are badly con-
gested, and live amid bad sanitary and
moral conditions. There are thousands OF

WORK OF THE HURRICANE.
No Trace of the Wrecked BariSen
tine MsGiIyrey's Crew.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug 27.-The British
barkentine Clara Z. MeGilyrey, wrecked
in the recent hurricane or cut in two by
a steamer, lies at sea eighty miles south
east of Cape Henry, abandoned by her crew
and fast going to pieces. The Merritt
tug Rescue, Captain Lecato, which went to
examine into the reported loss OF the vessel,
brought back her quarter board bearing
on its black ground in gold letters her
name. This was all that was worth saving,
the wreckers say. No signs OF ner boats
or crew We're to be seen and the absence OF
the boats leads the wreckers to believe
that the crew embarked in the sea and
were lost. The barkentine was at Philadei-
phia on August r. and when discovered
wrecked, was light. Captain Bonner, VINO
examined the wreck closely said that she
lay on her beam ends with her port slae
about three feet out of water. All forward
of the foremast is gone. Her WOODWORK
which was cut sharply away indicated 10
him that she was cut in two by steamer
Captain Bonner who was at Hatteras
during the hurricane, reported that besides
the eleven vessels previously reported
wrecked there is a schooner upside down IN
Pamlico Sound near Gull Rock. In her
centreboard a stick has been thrust which
the crew probably clung to until washed
away and drowned. He said that several
yards, painted yellow came ashore recently
near Hatteras. These, as they bear 40
marks of having had sails attached, he
believes, are from q steamer. Three bodies
came ashore from the vessel, one man eyi-
IDENTIFY but recently drowned. Several kegs
of olive oil which came ashore appear to
indicate the loss Of the Portuguese bark

are used in wine casks, are believed to be

The schooner Robert MeClintock,

to be lost at sea, is in this

are safe and well. The McClintock came
back badly battered vessel after passing
through the hurricane, which carried
away her fgurehead, headgear, cut
water, flying jib and main-topsail and
damaged her mainsail badly Capt.
! Joe Lewis and his crew said that
they never expected to reach port. Cap
tain Lewis said that during one entire day
| the waves rolled over the deck almost un-
eeasingly. The water casks, with the eX-
| ception of one, were carried away by the
| seas, and this one was dry when the vessel
made this port so that the fear of a water
| famine was added. The McClintock sailed
| from Baltimore for Georgetown, S. c..
with a general cargo, including groceries.
| on August 5, and passed out Cape Henry
on August II in company with the schoon-
! er Frank w. Mccullough, which returned
