ROOSEVELT FACED DEATH!
CARRIAGE IN WHICH HE WAS RIDING IS RUN
INTO AND DEMOLISHED BY TROLLEY CAR.

the next instant, in view Of hundreds
of people, the electric car crashed d.
agonally against the carriage, causing
the wheels to collapse splintering the
side and running down the near horse
OF the wheel team, killing it instantly.
The occupants were thrown into the
midst Of the wreckage.
Secret Service Agent Craig fell un-
der the car and his head was crushed
and the upper part of his body was
badly mutilated.
The driver, Pratt, was also caught
as he fell and was injured mainly
about the head. a fractured skull being
his wound.
The president, although partly bur-
| led by the splintered fragments Of the
carriage. extricated himself and was
seen to have sustained only cut on
! the cheek.
Governor Crane was not injured.
Secretary Cortclyou was not so fort
uIate, having sustained q blow on the
| back of the head, bit soon recovered
and with the president and Governor
Crane, went to the house OF A. D. Ste
yens. which is near where the accident
occurred. and the house was thrown
open for the reception Of the injured.
The secret service agent was beyond
help, having been instantly killed.
The body was taken into the Stevens
home
1t was found that Driver Pratt was
unconscious, but not dead.
He also was taken to the house.
A few minutes later an ambulance
from the Pittsfeld hospita. arrived
and he was removed to that institu-
ton.
The crowd became greatly excited
It rushed into the street surround
ing the wreckage and the car shout
ing at the motorman and the conduct
or and creating a great disturbance
Souvenir Hunters at Work.
Almost Immediately persons began
snatching away the fragments OF the
carriage in which the president had
ridden. Only by the utmost efforts
did force of police, which had been
quickly summoned, prevent the entire
demolition Of the vehicle by souvenir
hunters.
Immediately after the accident, Mo-
torman Luke Madden and the conduct
or, James Kelly, were placed under
arrest and taken to police headQuar-
ters, the chowd giving them a stormy
reception as they passed along the
street.
Having seen that the body Of Craig
was properly attended to and hearing
the clamor of the crowd outside, the
president stepped to the door. The
rumult indicated great excitement
among the people, seeing which, Pres
ident Roosevelt urged the people not
to cheer, as one Of the party was dead.
He assured the assembly that he was
uninjured, but that the driver Of his
carriage, he feared, was fatally hurt.
He said he would continue his journey,
as it did not seem just right to disap-
point the large number Of people who
were expecting him.
Then the president returned to the
house and directions were given for
another carriage to be brought up.
Ride is Resumed.
1t was soon at the door and the ride
to Lenox was resumed. AS soon as
the president had left the Stevens
house the crowd began to disperRe
and within few minutes the streets
had resumed their usual appearance
here, save for few groups who lin
gered to discuss the accident.

GERMANS HAVE THEIR REVENGE
HayIen Gunboat Sunk by German
Warship for Prcsuming to Seize
kaiser's Merchantmen.

A special from Cape Haytien, Hayto,
says: The gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot,
which was in the service of the firmi-
nest party, has been sunk at the 'sn-
trance of the barbor of Gonaives by
the German gunbOat Panther. Details
of the occurrence are lacking. The
crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left her be-
fore she went down.
Officers of the steamer Poloma,
which left Port au Prince Saturday
evening, say the German gunboat Pan
ther arrived there Friday afternoon
and left Saturday morning at 2
o'clock, after having cleared for ac-
ton. She went to seek the Crete-a
Pierrot.
Letters received at Cape Hayt1en
from Port au Prince intimate that it
was the intention Of the Panther to
sink the Firminist gunboat.
How the Gunboat Was Sunk.
The German gunboat Panther arriv-
ed at Port au Prince September 8, and
received instructions from the German
government to capture the Flrmlnlst
gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. She left i'm
mediately for GoDaiyes, the seat OF
the Firminist government. The Pan
ther found the Crete-a-Pierrot in the
harbor of Gonaives, and the command
er of the German gunboat Informed
Admiral Killick, on the Crete-a-Pelr-
rot that he must remove his crew and
surrender his vessel in five minutes
time. Admiral Killick asked that this
time be extended to fifteen minutes.
This request was granted on the con-
dition that the arms and ammunition
on board the Crete-a-Pierrot should be
abandoned when he crew left her.
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder. At
the end Of fifteen minutes the Panther
sent a small boat carrying an officer
and twenty sailors, who were to take
possession of the Firm%nist gunboat.
When these men had arrived at a
point about 80 yards from the Crete-a-
Pierrot flames were seen to break out
on board her. She had been fired by
her crew before they left her. The Pan
ther then fired on the Crete.a-Pierrot
until she was completely Immersed.
Thirty. shots all told were fired.
There is much feeling against the
Firminists, and their cause is consld-
cred bad one. Soldiers are leaving
here to attack st. Marie. Port au
Prince is calm,

FanaticaI Filipino Leader Attacks
Town and Murders Women.

Town and Murders Women.
4 Manila special says: Rios, a IA
natical leader of the irreconcilable ma
tives in the province of Tayabas, Lu-
zon, attacked the town of LagIimanoc
September 8 at the head of thirty rifle
men and $50 men armed with bolos.
The band wantonly killed two women
and one girl, and wounded several 9TH
er persons.
A detachment of native constabu-
larry arrived Unexpectedly at Lagui-
manoc while Rios men were still
there. They attacked and routed the
bandits, killing several of Rios follow
ers, and rounded up 700 men, many Of
whom are suspected of completely in
the attack on Laguimanoc. The guilty
ones among the 700 men will be picked
cat and the remainder set at liberty.
One of Rios lieutenants who was
captured said Rios was a direct de-
scendant of God. and that it was be-
yond the power Of man to injure him.
The constabulary also have cap
tured one Of Rios mountain strong
holds. Four detachments of constab-
ulary are now following the main band
of the outlaws.

Badly Complicated Situation.

A Charleston dispatch says: Evl-
dence of fraud in the first primary
election, admitted by the executive
committee as having been proven, is
believed to have been deeper than
the investigation revealed. 1t is open
ly charged now that there was false
count in other contests than that for
the senate, and efforts are being made
to see if there is not some law by
which the entire vote can be counted
again. The senatorial vote was count
ed because one of the candidates lodg-
ed a formal protest, but under the
rules the time for the filing Of pro-
tests has expired and the executive
committee is not authorized to make
q recount of it's own volition.
The situation is badly complicated.
1t does not appear that the ballot
boxes can be opened again without
an Injunction from the courts, and
none of the defeated candidates seem
to feel it worth while to take this step.
The vote for the state senate was the
closest. Won Kolnitz lacking only lO4
votes of being elected over his two
opponents on the first primary. When
the revised tabulation was made IL
was found that Won Kolnitz lacked
only 29 votes of winning, the recount
showing that he had been defrauded
in two of the largest precincts in the
city.
As a result of the mass meeting OF
citizens volunteers went to the polls
Tuesday in the interest of fair play to-
ward ali the candidates. Solicitor Hill
debrand has the evidence of fraud be-
fore him and if a careful consideration
Of this warrants prosecution, cases
will be made out Immediately for the
next term of the criminal court.

WORRIED ABOUT CUBA
Island Statesmen Show Desire to Become
Indifferent Toward Uncle Sans
Friendship.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-The situation
as to Cuba is such at present as to
give officials here great concern. 1t is
feared that Cuba is drifting away, and
evidence is multiplying day by day to
mark the growth of a spirit of indif-
ference toward the cultivation of
friendly commercial relations with
the United States that almost borders
on hostility. The best efforts of the
state department thus far have faileo
to secure the adhesion of the Cuban
government to the treaty which, by the
terms of the Plat amendment, must
be entered into between the two gov
ernments.
The delay is all on one side; namely,
at Havana, fer Secretary Hay and the
Cuban minister, Senior Quesada, have
performed their part in drafting a
treaty which 1t is believed carries out
the intent of congress. That treaty
is now awaiting the approval Of the
Cuban government, which approval is
withheld, not with any expressed in
tention of rejecting the convention, but
through what Is regarded here as the
natural inertia of the Cubans in diplo-
matte matters.
