RUNNING FIoH WITH THUGS
One Satisfactory Result Is That There Will

Armada. Mich, Sept. 30.-Three
burgl;rs broke into the general store
on ID. IL. Barrows. where the postoffice
is located, early Saturday and dyna-
mited the safe. The explosion awak-
ened the town and number of citi-
Zens was soon on the street. In the

lars was fatally wounded He gives
his name as John Graham. and says
his father lives at 112 Root street

and started for the railroad track after
several shots had been fired into them
by citizens.

Graham was wounded His compan-
ions carried him after he fell. and all
three started down the track on

DAMAGES FOR A CORPSE.
Injured In the Course of transportation o
Few Hundred Miles.

Bloomington, Ills. Sept. 3O.-The ap-
pellate court of Illinois has decided
that a corpse can be injured sufficient
ly TO warrant the collection of dam
ages. The decision was secured on an
appealed case from Mclean county.
Fred Beam. of this city. soldier in
the Spanish-American war. died in the
hospital at Chickamauga and while the
corpse was being transferred some de-
lay ensued. 1t was impossible to for
ward the body on the regular train. for
which transportation had been paid.
Instead the road ran special train
and asked more money. This extra
price WAS not paid and in addition
the family sued for $500 damages. The
appellate court holds that the railroad
had no right to charge more than the
regular rates for transporting the body
on the scheduled train. in that the de-
lay was no fault of the shipper. The
claim OF damages by reason of Injury
to the appearance of the remains is
held TO be valid and reasonable.

SHAMROCK IS DANGEROUS.
Though Beaten I'm Saturdays Race She
Causes apprehension.

New York. Sept. 30.-The Columbia,
in the first race of the America cup
series-fifteen miles to windward and
return-defeated the Shamrock III by
80 seconds actual time and l minute
and % seconds corrected time. Both
yachts sailed well. and the Shamrock
led at the turn of the outer mark by II
seconds. The wind at the start was
blowing nine to ten miles an hour but
after the outer mark was reached it
dropped to seven or eight miles. As
it dropped the Columbia showed her
heels to the Shamrock III.
During the race Sir Thomas Lipton's
yacht Erin was struck by the revenue
boat Gresham. and ]. J. Astor'S yacht
NOurmahal was struck by the liner
North Star Some damage was done,
but no lives lost.
Sir Thomas Upton admits that the
defeat was square, but is praying for
more wind next time. 1t was the clos
est and most thrilling race ever sailed
for the cup. the yachts being within
speaking distance of each other during
the whole run.
The race was so close and the i'm
provement of the Shamrock with Il
good breeze so noticeable that it was
and anxious lot of yachtsmen that
gathered yesterday at the New York
Yacht club for a talk about the chances
Of the Columbia in her next contest
with the Shamrock III tomorrow The
wind. although stronger Saturday than
Thursday, was not very brisk. as can
be seen when it is known that the
boats only made on the average &C
miles an hour Saturday.

McCalla also testified that so far as
he could remember he had no orders
as to course of action in case the Span
ish ships should come ont of Santiago
harbor until May %. On that
day Schley called all the of
ficers aboard the fiagshi and
talked over the blockade. Just before
they separated Captain Evans brought
up the subject, and an arrangement
was made for subdivision of fire in
case Cervera should try to break loose.
McCalla said that memorandum pre-
pared by himself and quoted by Ad-
miral Sampson in his report of Aug. ..

which he possessed concerning the in

that the Spanish squadron was not in

questioned Switzerland concerning his
megaphone message to the Scorpion
or May 10, and displayed the log-book
os that vessel to show that while other
facts were mentioned as having been
megaphoned by the Eagle there was
no mention of the fact that Command

Washington. Sept. 30.-News of the
disastrous fight between troops of the
Ninth infantry and the insurgents in
the island of Samar Saturday was sent
promptly by General Hughes. COM
manding i'm that island. to General
Cbaffee at Manila, and by him trans
mitted TO The war department. 1t
reached the department during the
early hours yesterday. and Adjutant
General Corbin, realizing its impOr-
taDce. at once made it public. after
sending copy to the White House.
The news created a sensation in Off
cial sircles. 1t was the first severe re-
verse that has occurred for long
time. Still the officials were not I'M
prepared for news of just this charac-
ter from Samar, i'm which the revOlu-
tion started by AGuinaldo still con-
tinues. Samar is a country about as
large as the state of Ohio. and the
American forces of occupation number
in all between 2.CO0 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts in the island, a large number be
ing located at the more important CEN
ters Spain never made any effort to
occupy Samar.. and it only has been
for probably three months past that
the United States has undertaken that
work.
The latest report made by General
Hughes to the war department was
that the number of insurgent rifles In
the island aggregated about 300. The
Filipinos carried on n guerrilla war
fare. and operations against them were
difficult. Immediately upon receipt Of
the dispatch Adjutant General Corbin
cabIed General Chaffee to send n COM

the casualties.

by the Board Looking Into
SchIey's Operations.
CAPTAIN MoALLA ENDS HIS STORY
Question of coaIing off Santiago
May II, Iaea--Verifying a
Disputed Dispatch.

Washington, Sept. 30-The teStl-
mony given before the Schley board of
inquiry Saturday was decidedly inter-
esting to both parties to the cOntro-
versy. Captain McCalla was on the
stand at the opening of the court, and
the first thing Counsel Hanna did
when court opened was to apologize
for using the word accused" instead
of applicant" when referring Friday
to Admiral Schley.. Captain McCalla
then testified that there were no shoals
or other obstacles to prevent battle
ships approaching Santiago harbOr to
find and attack the Spanish vessel
Colon, and that the ships under
Schley's command did not go within
range of the Colon. which the depart
ment had ordered destroyed as soon as
possible. All the shots fired fell short.
That Code OF Signals Again.
McCalla also testified that so far as
he knew the code of signals agreed
upon with the Cuban insurgents was
not made known to Schley. He had
informed Captain Chadwick, of the
New York, SIMPSONS flagship. Of the
code. He said. however, that at the
time he could have informed Schley of
the code with any advantage to Schley
he did not know Schley was going to
Cienfuegos. He agreed with other
witnesses that there would have been
little difficulty in coaling the ships I'M
der Schley on May PC and 2T-the time
Schley said he could not coal and
would have to go to Key West for
that purpose.
CoaIing Question Is Important.
Admiral Dewey and his colleagues
eli the bench are paying close atten-
tion to the testimony relating TO the
possibility of coaling vessels off Santi-
ago the latter part of May. They are
anxious to get reliable information
concerning Schley's contention that 1t
was necessary for him to start for Key
West in alleged violation of orders.
One thing that came out during Nc
Calais testimony seemed intended to
imply that McCalla was the original
author of the phrase glory enough for
all'' in Schley's official report. McCalla
testifying that he made that remark
to Schley July ,. 1898. while on visit
to SCrHey on the BROOKLYN.
