HALF ARE MISSING
City of Pittsburg Disaster as Bad as
First Reported.

Cairo, H., April 2l.-After search
ing two days, the death roll of the
burned steamer City of Pittsburg has
not been reduced any from the first
reports. Of the l45 persons who we're
on the boat when it burned yesterday
morning, about half are missing, and
tonight no further hope for them is
expressed. The books and valuable
of the boat, crew and passeners are
still in the ruins. The wreck is above
water and still smoldering tonight.
Owing to the heated condition of the
hull, search for those cremated in it
has not been begun, and very few of
the bodies of those who are drowned
have been recovered, owing to the
swift current at the scene of the dis
aster.
At the coroner's inquest today over
the bodies of Captain Sylvester Doss
and Miss Maria Tissin, verdict was
rendered that the former came to
death from exhaustion. and the latter
from inhaling smoke, and nothing
was developed as to the origin, cause
or responsibility for the disaster.
Captain Phillips testified that he could
not account for the origin of the fire
unless an electric wire had started it.
He stated that, so far as he knew,
there we're fifty-six lives lost. The
coroner wassadvised of other bodies
being recovered at distances from this
city, but none of them have been iden-
! titled.
Sensational reports have been cir
culated about an alleged quarrel be-
tween the officers of the steamer and
the roustabouts and that the fire may
have been of incendiary origin, but nc
credence is given to these reports
Many stories have been told today by
survivors of their thrilling experience
in escaping from the burning decks,
and some of them are of most start.

from points along the.Ohio valley and

FUNSTON'S ENEMY
David Fagin, Who Challenged Him to
a Duel is Dead


Washington, April 22.-Davidl Fa-
tgin, the gigantic negro who deserted
from the Twenty-fourth United States
infantry, joined the Filipino forces
and fought with desperation, has been
killed. He successfully eluded the
regular forces of the United States,
and the honor of his killing rests with
The native troops. Who sho. A.m and
then brought bis head as % trophy to
substantiate their story.
No other man that ever deserted
from the United States has been so re-
lentlessly hunted by his comrades as
Fagin. Particularly have the men of
the Twenty United States in
fantry been after him, as he is be-
lieved to have killed Capt. Godfrey,
of that regiment, near Mount Corona.
Fagin and band of Filipires had in
trenched themselves along a road on
which Capt Godfrey and his company
were coming.
The latter part of Fagin's operations
were in the district commanded by
Brigadier General Funston person
ally. Upon one occasion when Funs-
ton was in the field Fagin sent him a
challenge. The deserter asked that
Funston place himself at the head of
a given number of men and that he,
Fagin, would do the same with his
men, and they could fight it out. The
negro also offered, if Gen. Funston
preferred, to meet between the two
forces and have a personal encounter.
Gen. Funston became greatly anger
ed at this, and every command in his
brigade received orders that Fagin
was to be killed or captured at any
cost.
Fagin was trailed about the country
by Macabees, Illicouas and Ameri-
cans, but always managed to escape.
At one time Sergt. Cox, Twenty Sec
ond infantry, and Fagin stood up at a
distance of less than 80 yards and
emptied their magazines at each other
Neither was hurt.
After Funston had succeeded in
pacifying his territory Fagin disap-
peared and went up into the mountain
fastness of the island. Although no
reward had ever been offered by the
army for the capture of Fagin, it was
generally understood that the regi-
ment that killed or captured him would
stand high with the commanding Of
6cer, and for this reason Fagin was
sought as never was a deserter before.

gut, from Old Point Comfort, Va,
was greeted with great en-
thusiasm. Gibara's population oi
5000 was augmented by as many
more, who came from all parts of the
islands, from Havana to Santiago, to
pay homage to a man they love,
During the voyage the weather was
magnificent and General Palma S
forebodings of seasickness were not
realized.
When the steamer anchored in
Gibara harbor salute of twenty-one
guns greeted General Palma. His
face frightened at the scene before
him. How different was his return to
Cuba He left in chains and came
back with his path literally strewn with
roses. The harbor was kaleido-
scope of color and animation. From
every craft flew the flag of Cuba libre
and the stars and stripes. Old friends
who had known General Palma in the
ten years war, and chad shared with
him the hardships and sufferings of
many campaigns, came on board and
embraced him. Many were in tears.
The vessel was soon crowded with
members of committees, representing
different cities, who came out in
steamers and launches which we're
decorated from stem to stern, from
the mast to the water line. After a
quarter of an hour of informal talk
General Palma and his party
were taken ashore in launch. 1t was
when he put his foot on the pier that
the pent up enthusiasm of his
compatriots broke forth in earnest.
There were rounds of cheers by the
natives as they crowded around their
president-elect, which could have been
heard clear across the bay. Mayor
Cesepedes spoke q Jew words oI well
come and then proposed "three cheers
for the first president of the Cuban
republic" They were given with a

Chicago, April %. Contrary to ex-

today advanced prices another. quar-

purpose of boycotting members OF
alleged beef combine.
NOW 1T is PORK.
Kansas City, April 22-Having
aised the price of beef as high as it
seems to have courage to do in the
face of tho storm of public disapprov-
al with which it has been met, themeat
trust has now turned its attention to
the pork market. The prices of pork
loins and pork butts to the butchers
were raised l cent each yesterday.
Loins were IL cents per pound before;
now they are II. Butts shoulders }
were 8 cents before; since yesterday
they have been 10. Pork is seldom
bought by the butchers by the car
cass.
These are the only prices in which
the trust made any changes. Beef
sells for Sl0.50 per 100 pounds this
week as it did last week. Whether it
is the trusts purpose to leave beef
prices alone until it can raise pork
prices to level with them, whether it
has become frightened by the threats
of investigation by the federal courts
and the fierce public sentiment WHICH
has been aroused, or whether it has
raised beef as high as It wants it for
the present, the public is left only to
surmise.
