GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
ARE INFESTED BY DOGS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. n.-Captain
Richard Nye, who was one of those on
the steamer w. s. Phelps, tells of many
wonders Of Galapagos islands, which that
vessel recently visited. In an interview
he said:
1.-The islands are as full of minerals as
shad Is of bones. On Albermarle there is
an extinct crater, miles in diameter, in
which there is in sight 10000 tons of pure
sulphur. The crater, is about ten miles
inland, and a tramway will be necessary
for transportation to the coast, but this
should be a small matter, cOnsiding the
possible profit
lone of the queer things In ALTERNATE
island Is that it is over run with wild
dogs The animals are a mongrel breed
and were left on the island by whalers.
The dogs have become wild and are ex-
tremely vicious. They are wolflike in
their habits and run In droves."
Captain Nye also tells of a remarkable
lake on the island of Chatham at an ele-
walton Of 5000 feet above the sea level.
This lake, according to the captain, rises
and fails with tide, and no sounding line
has ever reached its bottom Many relics
of an ancient race were found.

TAMPA HAS MURDER
MYSTERY To
SOLVE
YOUNG SWEDISH SUBJECT FOUND
DEAD IN THE RIVER AND sUs-
PlcIoN POINTS TO MUIR
DER BY NEGROES.

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. l2.-Thomas Adley,
of New York, is the latest victim whose
body has been given up by the waters OF
the Hillsborough river, in this city. What
at first appeared either a suicide or an
accident has developed into murder
Alleys body was found floating under
the docks along the river front, the bones
of the face being stripped OF the flesh by
the crabs and fish that wait for food along
the docks. BY the clothing and certain
marks on the body IT was identified as
that of Thomas Adley, and while identi-
fication was being, carried on 1t was found
that his head had been split open with
some instrument and that one arm was
broken and there were several other
bruises about his body.
This at once led to the suspicion that
the man had met with foul play among
some Of the inhabitants of the docks. An
autopsy was held and II was shown by
this that the man was dead when the
body was placed in the water, as there
were none of the indications usual about
body where death has been caused by
drowning.
The officers proceeded with their in
vestigation then and found that Adley
was evidently connected with a well-to-do
family, as he received regular monthly
remittance of about $50 from some source,
through Alex Hedengreen, Swedish con-
sui at New York. II was learned that
Thursday Adley. came 70 the city from
some point down the bay where he had
been, and received his monthly remit
lance He was seen Friday in company
with one or two negro men whose char
acters were not regarded as above sus-
picion, and further investigation led to
the arrest of Charles Clark and w. b.
Furlong, two negro men. II is believed
that they know something about the
mans death or had something to do with
It,
The coroner's investigation has been
conducted secretly and has not yet been
concluded, but after going on for several
hours the two men mentioned were ar
rested, showing that some evidence must
point in their direction very strongly.
The Swedish consul has been notified
Of the death Of the man and asked to
furnish information as to his relatives.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 12-Advices re-
ceived by. the steamer Mioweria. from
Australia, tell of terrible drouth in New
South Wales and Queensland which has
devastated the sheep ranches of that sec
ton of the southern colony.
Millions of sheep have died and men
formerly considered wealthy have been
compelled to seek employment.
Samuel McCaughey, the sheep king Of
Australia. lost over a million sheep Of his
herd of a million and a quarter, and other
large herders have been equally unfor-
tunate.
The work Of wiping out the natives Of
the South Sea Islands continues. The Aus

to avenge the murder of a Mrs. Wolff
This expedition completely wiped out a
village, natives from which had commit
ted the murder. One hundred and thirty
persons were killed.

FROM DEATH TO LIFE
SENATOR ROACH COMES

NEW YORK. August 12-Former Sena-
tor William A. Roach. of North Dakota,
who has been exceedingly I'll here for a
long time. is improving. His illness, which
arose from the growth OF a Malignant tu-
NOR, had been pronounced incurable and
for days he lay at the point OF death.
The knife had been used several times
without avail.
Finally the physicians resorted to the
X-ray treatment. The great machine was
placed In the senator's room and elect
nc treatment was given daily, the wire
springs of the bed acting as conductors.
A tube was inserted IN the incision made
by the former operation and through this
/. X-ray was applied to the affected
part. The attempt was being made to dry
up the tumOr which the surgeons had
failed to remove thoroughly with the
knife. Gradually the dangerous symptoms
have been lessened. and at last there is
genuine ground for hope.

ITALIANS ARE ANGRY
AT SPAIN S
COURSE
TWO OF A SPANISH SHIPS I'M
PRIsoNED CREW BELONG TO
ITALY AND NATIVES AT
TAMPA ARE EXCITED.

TAMPA. Fla, Aug. lit would appear
that trouble, complications between the
Spanish and italian consulates and the
state government, will be the result Of
the trouble among the sailors of the Span
ish steamship Urquinola.
It seems that among the crew were two
Italians. men who could eaSHy prove their
citizenship, and they were remanded to
Jail by order Of the Spanish consul when
he heard the case. These two men claim
to have been treated worse than the 9TH
ers by the officers of the Irquinola and
they were disposed TO seek redress.
AS soon as they were landed in jail they
commenced negotiations to reach the Ital-
ian consulate and Consul John Grimaldi
was finally brought to them. They recit-
ed their troubles. ending up by showing
that they were in jail on the authority Of
the Spanish consul.
The Italian consul has taken the matter
up and the two colonies in Tampa, the
Spanish and italian, are much excited
over the affair and are discussing the sit
uation with all Of the gestures and move
ments which are known to their language
The italian consul says that If he cannot
get his country's subjects recognized and
liberated, he win appeal to the, italian
minister at Washington and ask that the
matter be settled there. and this would
bring about state of affairs which is sell
dom IN this section. -
The italian consul. after investigating
the matter in regard to his fellow coun-
trymen, found that the state laws were
powerless. His attorney advised him to
report the matter to the italian minister
at Washington, and through him ask that
the secretary of state order the arrest Of
Captain Colah. Before this action could
be taken, however. the cargo Of the Urqui-
nola was placed on board and the captain
asked for his men and sailed.
Under the conditions. the men had to be
turned over to him. but IL they land at
another port of the United States It seems
likely that the question win be taken up
again.

CITYOF PETIT G0AVE
Is SACKED AND BURNED

PORT AU PRINCE. Hayu, Aug. H.
The correspondent of The Associated
Press visited Petit Guave yesterday and
found that the town had been entirely de-
stroyed. there being nothing left but pile
of ruins.
About 1900 persons are homeless and are
greatly in need. Many OF them have
sought shelter in the Simnonds' factories
near the town.
The French cruiser d'Assis arrived at
Petit Goave yesterday with provisions for
the sufferers and returned to port Au
Prince with 200 women and children and
Is wounded men.
The authorities refused to permit the
F1rmInists to leave, fearing they would go
to other points to take up arms again.
Each party accuses the other of having
set fire to Petit Goave, but the general
belief is that General Chlcoye, the Flrmin-
ist commander, resolved to destroy the
town when he said he could not hold it
against the Fouchardists.
A Port Au Prince dispatch on Saturday
last gave news Of the burning of Petit
Goave after an attack had been made on
the place by Fouchardists. According TO
that dispatch General Chicoye who Is min
lister Of the interior in the Firminist pro-
vincial government. set fire to the town
and abandoned II.

THE GLACIERS ARE GOING.

According to Professor Forel,
who has made special study of the
Alpine glaciers during the past
twenty-five years, the day of the
glacier is gone. They are deterio-
rating slowly, but with steady per-
sistence, and diminution becomes
more marked from year to year.
There is only one exception to this
rule--that of Bower, in the valley
Of Entremont, which since 1892 has
shown continuous growth. The fa-
nous glaciers of the Rhone have
shrunk 755 meters since 1874, or
an average Of twenty-nine meters a
year. Many have so changed dur
ing the past few years that old tour
lists after a few seasons of absence
have failed to recognize them.
Some hotels once standing in the
immediate proximity of glaciers are
now at a considerable distance from
them, to the serious loss of the pro-
prietors.-Pall Mall Gazette.
