MOUNT COLIMA THREATENING
It Is Believed That an Eruption Will
 Shortly Occur

A dispatch from Guadalajara, Mex ico, says: The rumblings which come from Mount Colima and the great clouds of smoke which are being con- stantly emitted from its crater indicate that interior agitation is gathering force and that an active eruption is certain to occur. There is much un- easiness felt by the people living in the immediate vicinity of the volcano and there has been an exodus of the bet ter class of people from the nearby towns and villages, most of them going to Manzanillo and other coast points.
 Thousands of natives have no means of leaving their humble homes and force of circumstances would make them victims of any disaster that an &C., tive eruption of volcano might bring.
 A party of scientists representing the meteorological department of the Mex ican government passed through Guada- lajara on their way to take obser- vations of the threatened eruption of Mount Colima.

Mastered By Natives

Mail advices by the Miawera from Victoria, B. O., say that news has been received in Brisbane of the massa- ere of Mrs. Wolfe, the wife of Rev. Hedwig Wolfe, and her infant by the natives of Paparatava. During the brief absence of her husband from the house number of natives made their appearance and murdered her and her child with their axes. Miss Coe, a visitor who was also in the honse, fled to the kitchen, where a native cook held the natives at bay with threats. After their departure they made their escape through the bush to the station at Takaboul. The pursuit of the guilty tribe was ener- getically carried out.
 All the plantations of the district were destroyed in the neighborhood of which was cleared of natives. There were about twenty natives killed and ten captured by the police troop.

BOERS ARE CAPTURED
General De1arey's Brother Among the
 Prisoners

The immunity which Lord Kithener granted to the delegates to the Vereenig- ing conference of Boer leaders and their immediate followers from moles- tation by the British Icolumns has not prevented the consummation of one of the biggest drives of the war, which has just wound up against the Bechu- analand blockhouse line.
 General Hamilton and other com manders have gathered in four hun dred prisoners, including a hundred rebels and recalcitrant Boers, who have caused much trouble in the past.
 Among the prisoners are a brother of general Delarey and several other com mandants. The movement was re-. markable for the lack of resistance by the Boers, most of whom surrendered after aimless lodging, without fight ing. ,,.
 There were no British casualties.
 Five hundred Boers managed to escape in the early stages of the drive.

before any assistance could reach him.
 Captain Driscoll, in charge of the vessel, ordered boat lowered, but the sailors refused 10 risk their lives in an open boat in the rough sea. The cap tain withdrew his order and stopping the engines, attempted to cruise about in the effort to pick up the drowning men. Knight was soon lost, and it ap- peared hopeless to attempt further tc rescue Herrick. He, however, retain ed self control, keeping himself in an upright position on his little raft, and called repeatedly to those on board the vessel to throw him rope. But none could reach him, and he could see that their efforts were without avail, when he resigned himself to his ap- parent fate, calling back farewell, and said: ''Tell her that was faithful to her."
 At this instant another wave struck the vessel and she was carried back, rolling on her side again, but righting, was so near to where Herrick was hold ing to his raft, that line was easily passed to him and he was taken aboard.
 During this time panic reigned aboard the Warrior. When real dan ger threated there was rush for lite preservers. The racks on which the preservers were stored were broken down and there was general grab. Some secured two and three life buoys, while others got none. There were not enough to go around, some of the passengers claim, even if the division had been more equal.
 Women became hysterical, men and women knelt on the decks and prayed 1; husbands and wives fell into each others arms and bade farewell, expect ing that they would be lost.
 HEROISM OF CREW
 In the rpanic Captain Driscoll and his crew of sailors and some of the passengers displayed genuine heriosm.
 Men removed live preservers from themselves and gave them to women and children who had been unable to secure any. The captain and sailors went about reassuing the panic strick- en passengers, cheering them with as- surances that the ship would weather the storm and that all would yet be safe, and at the same time they were putting the ship into shape and mak- ing such preparations as circumstances would permit for the safety of the ves- sel.
 Mrs. Knight, with her infant child, had accompanied her husband on the Sunday excursion to Catalina. On the return voyage she became seasick and was resting in the ladies cabin when her husband was lost. She was not told of the loss of her husband until the wharf at San Pedro was reached. There was a heartrending scene when the purser of the Warrior told Mrs. Knight of the drowning.
 The regular trains had left San Pedro before the Warrior arrived and special Southern Paccific train was made up to bring the passengers of the tossed vessel to Los Angeles. The train arrived at Arcade station about 10:40 o'clock. The passengers told variety of stories of their exper- fences, not any of them agreeing as to details, but all unanimous that the voyage furnished the most fearful through which any had lived.-L. A. Herald.

Panic on Catalina Steamer

Yesterdays voyage of the Banning company's steamer Warrior to Catalina island resulted in the loss of one of the passengers and the narrow escape from drowning of two others, panic aboard ship and peril of loss of the vessel on the return voyage.
 s. S.Knight, age 35 years, of Los Angeles, conductor employed by the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, was swept overheard and lost.
 J. c. Herrick, mining man of Spo- kane, jumped overheard when he thought his wife had been washed over. He was rescued after every effort to save him apparently had been exhausted. He was given up for lost, when the vessel was driven back by high wave, and fighting again came up directly beside the drowning man.
 F. w. Clark, the owner of curio store at: Avalon, was washed from the deck, but as he fell rope became en- tangled about his leg and held him close to the ship. This rope saved his life.
 ROUGH VOYAGES.
 When the Warrior sailed from San Pedro Sunday morning there was a high wind blowing and the sea was rough, but not rough enough to make the voyage appear dangerous. The pas senger list was exceptionally large.
 On the return voyage the Warrior sailed from Avalon at 2 :l5 o'clock. At that time the sea was running high, but the wind had gone down. Soon after sailing, the wind freshened, and before the center of the channel was reached the little ship was tossed like a toy boat on the sea. Sea after sea broke over her.
 The Warrior is of one hundi ed tons burden, and carrying, as she did, a number of passengers estimated at from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty-five, she was crowded to a point where the crew labored under great difficulties to handle her.
 When in about the center of the channel the vessel was caught in the trough of the sea, and, rolling to the starboard, great wave broke, over her, washing s. s. Knight overheard. J. V. I1erIlck aHu HIS Wllo were SJaHu- ing at the railing of the main deck when Mir. Knight fell. Mrs. Herrick screamed and her hat blew off, which led her husband to believe that she also had been carried over.
 HERRICK GOES OVERBOARD
 He jumped overheard, thinking that he was doing it to save his wife. As he jumped MT. Herlick grasped chair in each hand, carrying them with him.
 Immediately some one threw him a plank, which he reached, and. with the assistance of the chairs and plank, remained afoat. At the same time efforts were being made to throw line to Mir. Knight, but he was carried away by the sea, and so disappeared '
