German Act Commended.

Washington. Sept S.-The United
States will take no notice of the action
of Commodore Scheder in sinking the
gunhoat Cretea-Pierrot. Naval au-
thorities here agree that the German

The incident, however, is likely to
lead to European demand for a
United States protectorate over Hayti
The European powers have tacitly ac-
cepted the Monroe doctrine. AS they
can not secure any territory in Hayti
or elsewhere on this continent without
lighting the United States they are in
sisting that this country must guaran-
tee the peace of the countries it pro-
tects.
1t is believed President Roosevelt has
been consulted in this matter and it is
thought he will accept as an amend

the country will maintain the sover-
eighty of the American republics as
against all Europe. the time has come
when, In the interest of commerce and
the peace OF the world, the United
States will be forced to put stop to
revolutions thruout the continent, and
particularly in the West Indies and
Central America.
The action of the German gunboat

more talk of protectorate, and. 1t is

mammoth black powder, exploded
shortly before . o'clock Sunday after
noon. shaking the city to it's very
foundations. One man is known to
have been killed, another who was with
him is believed to have been blown to
bits, two boys can not be found. and
five men We're injured. The cause of
the explosion is not known.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. Windows and crockery were rat
tied in houses for miles around. and
considerable glass was broken in the
city proper. The stone magazine was
Weighing half a ton. being hurled a
distance of 500 feet and thru the roof
of another stone magazine. Two ten
inch smooth bores, Weighing 1000
pounds each. We're dismounted and
thrown a distance of fifty feet from
their carriages. The mound directly
so feet long, 2as feet high, and 20 feet
thru, was blown down the. hillside to
the water, while great fissure was
opened in the solid concrete gun found
alton. An immense volume of dense
black smoke went high into the air
and. settled down over Fort Winthrop
like a volcanic cloud.
The man killed was Barney Cotton,
a pattern maker, living in Somerville.
Cotton and two other pattern makers
rowed over to the island early this af-
ternoon for the purpose OF exploring
the old Notifications The men with
him We're Christian Knudson and JOS

the boat, and Knudson lost. He watch

smoking their pipes. When they were
close to the magazine the explosion
came, and knudson saw Cotton thrown
high into the air. What became of
Wakefield is a mystery. knudson was
hit on the head by a piece Of rock and
rendered unconscious. One of the theo-
ries advanced is that Wakefield found a
way into the magazine and dropped
sparks from his pipe into the powder.
The mass of earth and stone hurled
in every direction found victims among
other sightseers in the vicinity. Those
injured were Paul Barry, Chas. l.. Elan
agan, Dennis j. Swanson, and James j.
Crowley, men living in or near Boston.
Their injuries are not considered TO be
dangerous. The body of Cotton was
badly mangled. while the injured suf

into shreds.
A detail of soldiers was sent to the
island from Fort Strong at Long ISL

additional victims The injured were
brought to the relief hospital here on

HUSBAND MAY INVADE.
French Court Decides He Can Not Be
Barred from Actress Dressing Room.

French Court Decides He Can Not Be
Barred from Actress Dressing Room.
Paris, Sept. S.-No such seemingly
unimportant matter has ever caused
such u heated controversy here as the
court decision that an actress husband
is always entitled to free access behind
the scenes. The case grew out of a
manager refusing to admit soubrettes
husband. The actress demanded that
her contract be Cancelled and that she
be paid heavy damages. The court ruled
that stage life admittedly exposes
woman to constant temptations, or, at
least, undesirable attentions; that it is
legitimate desire on the part of a wife
to be protected against such things and
that, at any rate. it is the indisputable
right of a husband to be her protector,
whether she realizes the necessity for
one or not; that a manager can not de-
ny the husband free access to the wings
or dressing room and that an actress
can not sign away this privilege The
case was decided against the defend-
ant. Theater managers are highly in
dignant. One says he sometimes ems
ploys 200 chorus girls, all of whom say
they have husbands or frances, and he
foresees an awful invasion by the hus-
bands. Many actresses construe the
decision as reflection upon their re-
spectability
After hearing Ellen Beach Yaw sing
in private concert, the shah of Persia
engaged the American singer with the
top note to sing her repertoire into his
photograph. Miss Yaw has done
nothing but sing again and again into
the funnel for the last six days. The
shah is hard to please and tests the
cylinders personally. Each must be
perfect.
Clyde Fitch has arrived here from
st. MortZ, much improved in health.
He will stopin Versailles until Sept. Ii,
when he will sail for New York. Elsie
DeWofe will sail on the same steamer.
Loie Fuller may be compelled to cancel
her engagement here in order to go to
New York on important business not
connected With the theater.
Edmond Rostand is still in a low
state of health. He has been advised
to take long cruise around the world
and has just sent an agent to New York |
to see if he can charter one of the lar
gest and most comfortable of the Amer |
lean yachts. If he succeeds, Mr. Ros-
tand will join the ship here. He is Very
to see New York. From there
he plans to go to the Bermudas.
All the Paris music halls have finally
been consolidated under the control of
one company. which is managed by the
Tsola brothers. Already the rroprietors
of the Folies Bergere and Olympia per-
formers. who realize that the era of
fancy salaries is past. have called a

will make a test case against the COM
bination, but they have little hope of
success.

Flint, Mich. Sept. S.-At council
OF the friends of Judge Durand. held
yesterday, 1t was decided to leave his
name on the ticket until the meeting of
the state committee on Tuesday. His
brother will go to Grand Rapids and
present his letter of acceptance. and
the final decision will be governed by
the state of his health at that date
and the judgement of the committee.
In the light of the patients disposition
and love of retirement the family would
prefer to see him released from the re-
sponsiblity of the campaign, but will
yield to his friends and to the demo-
cratic party If he continues to mend.
Today Judge Durand's temperature,
