HATING GOES ASHORE
CANADIAN PACIFIC STEAMER ON
THE ROCKS AT EUREKA BAY.
Officials of the Company Send Boat
to Bring Off the Passengers
and Land Them at
Vancouver.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 1S-In a
dense fog the Canadian PACING steamer
Hating, from Skagway to Vancouver,
went ashore yesterday at Eureka Bay,
Jervis island, and is now haT1 and fast
on the rocks. The place is a small rocky
islet lying to the northeast of Laquetti
island, at the entrance to Sabine strait
forty-nine miles north of Vancouver.
When the steamer went ashore, Capt.
Gosse was on watch, and First Officer
Neurotos was on the bridge with the
master of the vessel. The fog at the time
was so dense that 1t was impossible to
see ten feet in any direction The Hating
had on board ITO passengers, of whom 130
were first class and forty second cabin.
There was no panic when the steamer
struck, and the passengers were soon
made aware that no danger was to be ap-
pretended. After examination of the
steamer, when 1t was found that she
could not get off the rocks by her efforts,
the captain started Pilot Gums off to
Vancouver in a ships boat with four
men. Gums rowed down, arriving in
Vancouver this afternoon. He met no
steamer on his cruise up until he had
rowed thirty-five miles of the distance,
when a tug picked them up. Upon his
arrival Pilot Gums stated, while the
Hating was fast on the rocks he thought
Sne was not greatly damaged. The fore
foot is generally natural sloping one
and she could run gradually UP the rocks
rather than striking heavily.
On receiving the information, the Cana
dian Pacific officials wired to Nanaimo
to have the steamer John dispa tehed to
Jeryis island to take as many passengers
as possible from the Hating and bring
them down to Vancouver. AS the collier
Maud happened to be lying here with coal
for the Hating, her cargo was instantly
discharged and she was also dispatched
to Jervis island, starting at o'clock this
evening. She carried number of Cana
dian Pacific officials, who will ascertain
the Hating's precise condition and ar
range to get her off the rocks if possible.
The Hating's passengers will proba-
bly, reach here tomorrow morning. The
Hating is a particularly good boat having
been brought from Hongkong for the
Northern trade about eight months ago.
Her estimated value is about $240, ,090

NIAGARA ON THE LAKE, Ont, Oct.
13.-The Duke and Duchess of York pass
ed quiet Sunday at the Queen Royal
hotel today. This morning some disap-
pointment was caused among the citizens
here who understood that their royal
highnesseS would attend divine service
Instead of this, however, the duke and
duchess attended a special church service
held at their hotel over which the Rev
Canon Dalton, chaplain with the royal
suite, presided
After the service was concluded the
duke and duchess, accompanied by sew
eral members of the royal suite were
driven to the pier, where they went
aboard the steamer Corona and pro-
ceeded to Queenston. At this point the
royal party boarded a special electric
car of the Niagara Falls Park & River
railway, handsomely fitted up and they
were taken up past the Whirlpool Rapids
to Niagara Falls. The Duke SEEM
ed keenly interested in the splendid
scenery along the line of route. The re-
ception was very quiet and there was no
cheering. A second car containing sew
eral members of the SUITE followed
closely after the royal car.

SUSPICIOUS OF MALvAR
INSURGENT LEADER BELIEVED TO
BE PLANNING NEW OPERATION.

MANILA, Oct 13.-The military author
tiles have received word that Gen
Miguel Malvar. the insurgent leader is
believed to have left the province of
Batangas, Luzon, and to be planning an
operation in the province of Bulucab.
where insurgent conscription has been
progressing recently. The country there
is mountainous and well adapted to
guerrilla warfare.
Capt Pitcher has practically STAMPED
out insurrection in the island of Mindoro
The police force at Banana, province of
Basangas, has been disarmed and the
chief of police and several others have
Eeen placed under arrest on charges of
belonging to an insurgent society and
using their offices to obtain information
for the insurgents.
Mai. Braganza the insurgent officer
who ordered the execution of 103 Spanish
prisoners and personally superintended
the carrying out of the order, has been
sentenced to be hanged.
Ihere is intense feeling among the
natives in San Fernando, province of
Pampanga, over the killing of a native
by soldier. Strong patrols are out in
both San Fernando and Bacolor to pre-
vent u hostile demonstration
There is considerable criticism here of
the recent statements of Congressman
Edgar Weeks of Michigan regarding
Filipino character and possibilities
Members of the commission refer TO his
remarks as too sweeping and as "based
upon too short an experience" The
native press unstintingly condemns the
offusions of Mr.. Weeks as unjust and
viciously false"

FATHER AND TWO SONS PERISH
IN DESERTED AIR
SHAFT
KILLED BY POISONOUS GAS
Youngest Boy Fell Into Shaft and
Father and Brother Perished
While Attempting to
Rescue Him SF5a
BODIES FINALLY RECOVERED

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, Oct 13.-Three
lives went out in little air shaft, only
two feet in diameter and twenty feet
deep, but filled with black damp at the
mines of the Juniata Coke company near
Juniataville, today. The dead are:
John Gilleland, a miner, aged fifty
years, and his two sons, James and Win
field aged eleven and fifteen, respect
lively.
All three bodies were recovered but in
the effort John Nicholson, mine foreman
at Juniataville, and John Baker, mine
fire boss, were seriously overcome by
black damp.
Near the home of the Gillelands is a,
deserted air shaft. Today the two boys
were playing around the shaft which is
boarded up for about two feet from the
ground James climbed to the top, shout
ing to his brother. Then he leaned over
the top of the shaft. A sudden gust of
the death fumes struck him and with
scream he fell forward into the pit. His
brother rushed to the top of the shaft
and started down rickety ladder that
years ago served the miners with means
of descent. From the home not many
yards away the elder Gilleland saw his
boys go down the shaft. Realizing their
danger he rushed to the pit and, regard
less of his own safety, hurried down the
hole.
BY this time a number of other inmates
of the house hurried to the shaft. They
went to the top and peered in, but only
faint groans were heard. About half
way down the little shaft the body of the
father had lodged. His white face and
CLASSY eyes turned upwards, towards the
light and air told that the gas did it's
work quickly and well.
Like lightning the news of the tragedy
spread over the farms of Dunbar and
Franklin townships and in few hours
the whole countryside had fiocked to the
scene of the deaths. The difficult
problem of how to descend the death trap
to recover the bodies was finally solved
by John Nicholson. mine foreman, who
rigged up a farmers windmill, used for
cleaning wheat, in such a way as to
fan pure air into the hole. Nicholson and
John Baker, who had for years worked
beside Gilleland, were then lowered into
the shaft with ropes around their bodies.
Gilleland's body was soon hoisted TO the
top. from where it had lodged and at the
bottom were found the bodies of the two
bows entwined in a, death embrace.
After the dead came the rescuers to
the surface and as soon as they reached
the pure air the terrible effect of the
gas was evident and both tainted. Late
tonight physicians say the men are IN a
serious condition. Gilleland leaves a wife
and several children.

IN GOOD CONDITION
GEMS. OTIS AND MERRIAM MAKE
THEIR ANNUAL RE-
PORTS
NEW CONSTRUCTION NEEDED
Department of the Lakes Is in Want
of Greater Accommodations
for General Garrison
Prisons.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-Maj Gen
Otis, in his annual report for the depart
ment of the lakes, says t1at all post
buildings in the department have been
maintained in fair condition, although
many have been without occupancy and
show disintegration from climatic infiu-
ences. With increased garrtsons, consid-
cradle additional repairs and new con-
struction will be necessary. Gen Otis
says that decided want IN his depart
ment is greater accommodations for gen.
eral and garrison prisons TIE post
guardhouses have become overcrowded
With the recent rapid recruiting, de-
serters appear to be Increasing, and at
the date of the generals report, Aug. Z,
there were considerably over 100 such
prisoners confined in the guardhouses of
the department. The Central states,
from which a large portion of the United
States army is drawn, Gen. Otis says,
seem to give great advantages in the way
OF concealment and occupation to the
absconding soldier, and hence the post
guardhouse of the department. of the
lakes contain representatives. of many
military. organizations stationed outside
the limits of that department. The en-
larged reward, however, which is now
paid for the arrest and delivery of de-
serters, has greatly decreased their for
mer comparative immunity from punish
ment
Up to August of this year all the post
garrisons in the department had labored
under scarcity in officers, but this
scarcity in officers began to be made up
in August. Gen. Otis calls attention to
the fact that the very large money ex-
penditures shown by the supply officers
reports were paid out, for the most part,
on contracts executed in Chicago, Kansas
City and other points, for the delivery of
clothing, equipage and subsistence ship
ped to troops in our island possessions,
and not for the expenses of the depart
ment proper.

DEPARTMENT OF MISSOURI.
Gen. Merriam Says Better Drill
Work Is Necessary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l3.-In his capac-
lty of commander of the department of
the Missouri, Gen. Henry c. Merriam has
made an annual report to the war depart
ment. He devotes particular attention to
the necessity of better drill work by the
soldiers, caused by the incoming of many
recruits. Gen. Merriam says there is a
notion, too often prevalent in the army
especially among the older officers that a
soldier who has once learned the details
of the drill regulations-the mere mechan-
ism of tactical and calisthenic exercises
may be excused from drill without detri-
ment, forgetting that bodies of men can
maintain the power of collective action
only by frequent collective practice, even
IN the simplest exercises. Gen. Merriam
strongly indorses a recommendation of
Capt. Niche, of the Twelfth cavalry, for
a change in the cavalry bit. He says
that even with the recent Improvement,
which rendered the bit less severe upon
the mouths of young horses. there is still
a considerable percentage of horses made
vicious by undue severity in the use of
the bit. He believes a return to ne dou-
Bile rein is fully justified for at least half
of each troop. Other recommendations
are that the calibersof the cavalry re-
volVer be enlarged and that a knapsack
or pack be supplied to the infantry SOL
ulCI III pIdcS OIL the DIdnkeC Dag now IN
use. significant statement by Chief
Surgeon Kimball OIL this department, is
that with comparatively few exceptions,
youths under twenty-five years of age
are not able to bear up under the hard
ships and privations of an active cam
pa1gn, and serve only to incumber the
hospitals and to diminish the efficiency
of the army
Surprising progress toward the goal of
self-support by the Apache prisoners of
war is recorded in an appendix by Capt.
Sayre, in charge of those prisoners. He
shows that they now have on hand 27S4
head of cattle of their own raising; that
they have built many miles of new fences
and repaired as much more of the old,
and that no clothing was issued to them
during the year. On the other hand,
these Indians are suffering severely from
tuberculosis, contracted by them while in
captivity in Florida, and there were thir-
teen more deaths than births among
them. They are declared to be generally
a moral, industrious, truthful, honest and
docile people.

RANSOM MAY BE PAID
MONEY FOR MISS STONES RELEASE
SAID TO BE FORTHCOMING
Consul General Dickinson Thinks
Dangerous Precedent Would
Re Established by
Payment.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-THE Reuter- Tele-
gram company has received.the following
dispatch from Constantinople, dated Oct
13:
There have been no further develop
ments in the case of Miss Ellen MaStone,
the abducted American missionary
1T is reported that Spencer Eddy, sec
retary of the United States legation in
Constantinople, received today dispatch
from Washington advising him that a
sum of money which would suffice for
the ransom would be Forthcoming.
The Daily Telegram has the following
dispatch from Sofia, dated Sunday:
Consul General Dickinson has received
no instructions to pay the ransom. He
is afraid dangerous precedent would
be created by payment. He is fully
convinced that the brigands were merely
instruments acting under the instigat on
of late members of the Macedonian COM
mittee. He has made strong representa-
tions to the Bulgarian government ask
ing the arrest of these instigators. Should
this be done, he says Miss Stone would
doubtless be released on payment of a
moderate indemnity and good assurance
of freedom for her captors. Some Mace
domains have already been arrested here"

RESERVOIR AT EAST LIVERPOOL
BURSTS AND CAUSES GREAT
DAMAGE
Loss ESTIMATED AT $15o,ooo
Had just Been Completed and Was
Filled for the First Time
shortly Before Break
Occurred
ITO LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, Oct. ia
large reservoir, containing 100000 gal
lens of water, burst today and caused
great damage. No lives were lost, but
fire operator had narrow escape.
The reservoir, which is owned by the
city, and which was only completed few
days ago, was filed tbs morning for the
first time. 1t was taxed to its utmost ca
pacity when the break occurred. A gang
of laborers was laying pipes in a ditch
near the wall which gave way, and mi
raculously escaped death The basin is
located 800 feet above the pumping station
on the highest hill in the city. A number
OF houses are situated on the hillside, be-
neatn the reservoir and the city proper
When the wall gave way the water shot
down the incline with mighty roar, the
noise made warning the occupants OF the
endangered houses, who rushed to place
OF safety in time to save themselves. A
party of children were playing in road
directly in the pathway of the torrent,
and. though caught by portion of the
rushing water, We're rescued from
being drowned.
Dozens of large trees were torn from
their roots and carried down the hillside
with lightning rapidity, Being jammed
with terrific force against the walls of the
Hark Pottery company plant The main
building, with several smaHar structures,
was badly wrecked. Two large kilns and
sheds were dashed to pieces and $50, 900
worth of ware ruined The tracks of
the Cleveland & Pittsburg railway were
covered with thousands of tons of debris
and traffic is blocked. The street car line
running parallel with the railroad suf-
fered severely, and traffic on a half mile
of the track has been abandoned.
The pumping station was in the direct
path of the flood and was filed with
wreckage, which so damaged the engines
that they cannot be used. Several houses
were moved from their foundations, out
buildings carried away and number of
cars on a sidetrack overturned. The loss
is estimated at $l50,0c0
