H0EY IMPLICATED.
NogaIes Customs Collector to An
swer for Smuggling Chinese.

NogaIes Customs Collector to An
swer for Smuggling Chinese.
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 25.-William M.
Hoey, collector of customs at Nogales,
has left for that place on a call from
Mclean LeMoore, special assistant to
Attorney General Knox. 1t is under
stood that LeMoore holds warrants for
the arrest of Hoey and B. F. Jossey,
Chinese Inspector, charged with SNUG
Cling Chinese from Mexico into the
United States. He was accompanied by
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Bennett. When shown the WASH
ington dispatch stating that big con-
spiracy for smuggling Chinese in which
he and Jossey are implicated had been
unearthed Hoey said there was no
truth in the charges.
"I have not been arrested and do not
believe 1 will be-" he said. mo SNUG
Cling has been done through Nogales
during my term. More Cinnamon have
been deported from my district than
any other, with one exception"
The implication of Hoey caused big
sensation. 1t has long been known that
secret service officials were laboring to
stop the smuggling of Cinnamon, but
with little success.
Several Cinnamon have been cap
tured and deported, but many more
and many Chinese girls have been
brought across the border. There has
been no public opinion that the Gus
toms officials were implicated.

Poor Glasses of Zapata County, Tex

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 25.-Reports
to-day from Zapata county confirm th..
news that the poor classes there are
facing starvation. They must have inn
mediate help in the way of food or the
results will be terrible. Range water
has failed and cattle are too weak to
travel and are dying rapidly. The coun-
try is literally burned up by drought.
There is not green thing to be seen
except cactus plants. Zapata county Is
fifty miles from the nearest railroad,
and whatever in the way of food that
is sent to the farmers in the famine
stricken place must be hauled from
Laredo. two days trip at best.
Mayor Hicks of this city has started
a relief fund and has already sent a
small sum Of money to Laredo to be

NEED MORE SOLDIERS.
Four More Companies of Infantry
Will Reinforce the 1000 Troops in
Manila.


Manila.
Manila, Aug. 25.-In the city of
Manila there are now lesss than 1000
effective soldiers, and it has been de
cided to increase this number by four
companies of infantry. The official rea-
son for the increase is that the guard
duty is too heavy for the present force.
AS a matter of fact, however, there is
a feeling that although there is no ap~
parent prospect of trouble, neverthe-
less, in the event of an uprising in the
future such as is always possible
among the Malays it would be better
to have a sufficient body of troops
available for such an emergency.
Gen. Chaffee says he considers the
city of Manila to be perfectly orderly
and he can see no prospect of an up
rising. Commissioner Wright thinks the
people extremely peaceable." He is
satisfied that, although among GER
tain class there is some discomfort on
account of the land tax, which is not
yet understood. this class is not likely
to foment trouble.
Many army officers express them
selves as gratified at the increase in
the military force. They think that
with the military guard withdrawn
from the prison, another uprising there
might result in the release of some L.,
800 prisoners. This possibility is re-
garded as menace to the city by those
who take that view of the case, as they
regard the white guard as insufficient.
Civil officials look upon this contin-
gency as unlikely, inasmuch as the 600
white police could mobilize at the pris-
on before any of the prisoners could es-
cape. and become dispersed throughout
the disaffected district.
Word was received to-day that the
insurgent Col. Loreel, with seventeen
officers and thirteen men, surrendered
yesterday to Capt. Brown of the Fourth
Infantry at Talisay. The surrender of
numerous other smaller contingents last
week brings the total to more than 100.
Gov. Taft is expected to return to
Manila Tuesday after having appoint
ed civil officials throughout all north
ern Luzon.

SCHOONER soRIBNER BEAcHED.
Vessel Bound for Savannah Struck
by New York storm.

Fire Island, N. Y, Aug. 25.-The
three -masted schooner Eliza A. Scrib-
ner, of Philadelphia. in command of
Capt. Silas Dodd was beached on Fire
Island bar this morning to prevent her
from sinking. The vessel was struck
by the storm yesterday afternoon and
sprang a leak. AS the water gained
rapidly and the pumps were unable to
keep it down. Capt. Dodd decided to
beach the schooner. She had ten feet
of water in her hold when she was put
on the bar. The wrecking tug l. j.
Merritt came to the stranded schoon-
er's assistance. A boiler and a pump
have been put on board. Anchors have
been laid and 1t is thought she can be
moved off on the high tide at o'clock
to- morrow morning.
The Scribner was bound to Savan-
nah from Promised Land. L. l., to
which port she came from Boston.
Since the vessel struck the bar this
morning the crews from both the Fire
Island life saving station and the Oak
Island life saving station have been
with the vessel.

south Chicago Steel Workers Hard
10 whip Into Line.
Chicago, Aug. 25.-The only visible
result of the mass meeting of trade
unionists and sympathizers. held in
South Chicago to-day, was the declar-
alton of one skilled steel worker. Rob
ert Collins. that he would not again
enter the mill until the strike was set
tied. The steel workers, whom the
meeting was designed to reach, were
not present in appreciable numbers.
Assistant Secretary Tighe of the
Amalgamated Association, was the
principal speaker. He denounced the
former members of the association in
Chicago for deserting their union un-
Ger the guise of living up to a contract.
Mr.. Tighe contended that the contract
of the steel workers had been rendered
nugatory by the encroachments of the
steel trust. and that II was the duty
of Chicago steel workers to Join their
fellow unionists in the east in a bat
tie, where. he said, the very existence
of the Amalgamated Association was
at stake.

SUNK BY COLLISION.
Schooner Crashed Into by Steamer

safely.
Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. 25.-
Although the schooner Harold c..
Beecher of New Haven, Conn. was
run into and sunk by an unknown
steamer in Vineyard Sound at about
o'clock this morning. Capt. Lowe and
crew of six men succeeded in reaching
shore in the yawl boat. The Beecher,
bound from Port johnson for Salem
with coal, was passing through Vine
yard Sound with a fresh westerly wind
In cloudy weather. Capt. Lowe states
that when near the eastern end of
Hedge Fence shoal he sighted a steam
er ahead, steering to westward, but he
kept his course, thinking that the YES
sells would pass clear in safety. The
steamer suddenly sheered across the
schooner's bow, carrying away her
bowsprtt and all her gear and making
hole in her bow. When the captain
found that his schooner was sinking he
made for Hedge Fence shoal, hoping
she would ground on the shoal. The
tide being high the schooner drifted
over the shoal without stopping and
then sank in six fathoms of water.
The men on board left before she went
to the bottom.
The Harold c. Beecher was built in
Madison, Conn, in 1888, and owned by
E. H. Weaver of New Haven. 1t is
probable she will never be raised.

Great Havoc.
Minneapolis, Mimi. Aug. 25.-Minne-
apolis experienced a fierce rain, wind
and hailstorm about o'clock this
evening, which did much damage in the
city and vicinity. The storm came up
suddenly, and though the hail lasted
but fifteen minutes the high wind
which accompanied it caused great
havoc.
i In the business section of the city
large glass plate windows were broken.
The street car system of the city was
demoralized for three hours, the troll
ley wires being crossed with those of
the other electric companies. The even
ing church throngs were caught and
thoroughly drenched. In many resi-
dence sections all windows were blown
out, trees were blown down and other
havoc done. Reports from the sur
rounding country show that the storm
covered a comparatively small area and
it is probable that little damage was
done to crops.

Constantinople, Aug. 25.-M. Con-
STAINS, the French ambassador, sent
note to the Porte last Thursday to the
effect that he would leave Constanti-

formed NJ. Constans that the Porte had
abandoned the idea of purchasing the
Quays, first, because convinced that the

covering the purchase.
NJ. Constans then gave the Ottoman

laden, from Newport News, Va, came
into port early this morning with her
decks Uttered with wreckage. Capt.
Babbitt says that yesterday afternoon
about 1 o'clock the schooner was sail
ing for port about thirty miles south
east of the Atlantic Highlands when
she was struck by a whirlwind which
passed over the vessel from the stern
and left her a wreck. The squall was
sudden and revolved with terrific speed,
carrying away and smashing every
thing in its path. The schooner's
spanker boom, an enormous spar, was
broken in half like a pipe stem. The
spanker gaff, main gaff and mizZen
topmasts were also snapped. All the
lower sails were blown away or torn
into ribbons and the gear and riggings
were tangled and snarled. The squall
lasted but a short time, when the
wreckage was partly cleaned.
