FATAL EARTHQUAKE
Many Moros In Mindanao Are
Killed.
NONE OF OUR SOLDIERS INJURED.
First Serious Seismic Shock In Phil
tppines Since American Oecupa-
tion-Uphenval Occurred In the
Region About Lake LanaO.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-The war
department has received IA cablegram
from General Chaifee at Manila re-
porting the occurrence of a series of
earthquakes OH the island of Minda-
mao. Twenty persons were killed by
falling walls, the victims all being Mo-
ros. The Americans in the vicinity es-
capped, and the dispatch says there
were no reports that any Of the sol
diers occupying the portion of the is
land affected sustained any injuries.
The upheaval occurred in the coun-
try adjacent to Lake Lanao, in the
Moro section of the island, near Camp
Nickers, which is now the head
quarters of the American forces sta
toned III Mndanao. General Chat
fees .cablegram says the mountains
and rivers and other streams We're
considerably disturbed, and much dam
age was done. The extent of the dam
age, however, was not reported. 1t is
presumed here that the seismic shocks
occurred about five days ago, though
the uate Is HoL uleilllOueu Ill the us
patch.
This is the first serious earthquake
reported from that country during
American occupation of the Philip
pines. The most important previous
seismic disturbance in Mindanao was
the one that partly destroyed Palak,
Kotal, Batu and the villages on the
banks of the river Mndanao in 1872.
This phenomenon closely followed the
of the volcano of Makaturin.
General Chaffee also cabled that the
island in that section remains
quiet and unchanged. No attacks have
been made on the American forces at
Camp Vickers since the last report,
which was cabled eight days ago

NEW YORK.. Aug. 2S.-In broad
daylight and bright sunshine a COLI.
sion which might have resulted in q
dreadful calamity occurred in New
York harb0r between an incoming pas
senger liner and an outgoing freight
steamer.
Tie steamship Liguria of the Italian
Royal Mail Steamship company, with
over J., 100 souls on board, was run
down in the Narrows by the British
steamer Peconic of the Mediterranean
and New York Steamship company,
bound out for ports In the Mediterra-
mean. A succession Of whistle blasts,
just how blown could not be learned
was followed by tremendous crush,
and the Peconic's bow smashed into
the hull of the Liguria just forward of
the foremost. The Italian liners hull
was Quito the waters edge and water
poured into the aperture. The Peconic
as she drifted away scraped the white
hull of the Liguria and carried away
the companion ladder The bow of the
Peconic on the port side was stove in
and the stem turned to starboard.
On board the liner all was confusion
for few minutes, but Captain Mon
tnno restored order promptly and
forced the Storage passengers over to
the starbOard side in order to bring
the hole cut by the Peconic above the
water. This effort was so successful
that very little water entered the liner.
The pilot who brought the Liguria
into port, Frank Kramer, was little
disposed to talk, but said that the fault
was all with the Peconic. He said the
Ligrria was coming along slowly to-
ward the NarrOws. The Peconic ard
the British steamer Antila, bound out
for Nassau, were steamng to sea Il
short distance apart when the Peconic
blew two whistles and then changed
the signals. The Liguria sheered to
starboard and then back at full speed.
The impact came with terrific force,
the sound being heard on the shore.
The Peconic was so damaged that
she returned for repairs. The Liguria
after the inspection of passengers at
quarantine proceeded to her dock.
On board the Italian liner were q
saloon, 20 second cabin and 9G5 steer
age passengers. Among the saloon pas
scngers was Father Rodriguez, gencr-
al of the Augustinians. He was met at
quarantine by Father Murphy of the
Augustinan monastery at Tompkins-
vile, Staten Island. He will proceed
directly to Washington.
There were no casualties on board
the Liguria nor on the peconic. The
latter vessel was in charge of Pilot
Charles Thompson and was deeply
laden.

THE community was startled yes
terday by the news of the death of
the Honorable Levi G. Bird, at his
summer residence Hill Top near
Delaware City. He had been away
on his vacation, returning home
about week ago, since which time
he was under the care of DR.. James
A. Draper, assisted by his son. He
gradually grew worse until death
relieved him of his sufferings at
O'Clock, Wednesday morning. Mr..
Bird was one OF the best known law
yers before the bar of Delaware.
He had quite reputation as a GRIM
inal lawyer and was known as u
most successful pleader before a
jury. He Studied law under the
late Daniel Bates and made a repu-
tation for himself second to none in
his profession. Mr.. Bird was one of
those free hearted whole soulel men
who never turned deaf ear to those
in distress He was a Republican in
politics and for years was conspic-
uous figure in the Councils of that
party. He ran for Congress but
suffered defeat. His voice was
heard in numerous campaigns n
this city and throughout the State
While speaking at IL political meet
ing held in the Tenth Ward he was
hit with Lri.k thrown at the plat
form upon which he stood making
an address to the citizens in that sec
ton OF the city. He was born in
the year 1912 in Christiaua, and com
menced to practice law in this city
i'll 1865, and enjoyed a very luciative
practice for number of years. He
lived well and by his generosity
spent what he had made leaving
only a fair competency. He mar
ried in 1887 to Mrs. Mable Kane,
widow of DR. John X. Kane a. d
sister OF the late Thomas T. Bayar,.

their votes for Pardee, and then the
slide toward the Alameda county ply
sican commenced amid an uproar that
interfered with the taking of the bal
lot. Long before San Diego county was
reached Dr. Pardee's nomination was
assured, and then the Flint men struck
their colors and paid Pardee the COM
piment of voting for him. The final
vote was: Pardee, 51S; Gage, ID; Flint.
