corporation, to which it had granted
financial, industrial and police con-
troll of Acre. The contract, Brazil
declared, was beyond the power of
the Bolivian government to make, as
it involved the partial surrender of
sovereignty, and was void because it
disposed of territory part of which
was claimed by Peru, and part by
Brazil. In the event of refusal to
break the whole contract Brazil in
sisted that the agreement to permit
the syndicate to maintain a police
force be annulled. Bolivia refused
to grant either demand. While these
negotiations were in progress a rev.
olution was started in Acre by men
who sought to make the district in
dependent. They were assisted by
the Brazilians. Bolivian troops were
sent into the district January goth tc
suppress the insurrection, and on
January Goth Brazil announced that
it had decided to concentrate troops
in the adjoining states of Matte
Crosse and Amazonas. The reason
given by Brazil for its interest in the
contract with the syndicate is that
the establishment of so strong an
American company in the interior of
South America would endanger the
surrounding republics. The United
States has been requested by Bolivia
to exercise its good offices to restore
amicable relations between that coun,
try and Brazil, and independent ne
gotiations are also in progress for
the settlement of the dispute by ar
| bitration.

Kong on December 10, the officers be-
came intoxicated and the vessel drift
ed from her proper course, finally
bringing up on the reef, where she went
to pieces. A drunken fight followed

carpenter emptied his revolver at the
Officers, hut was too intoxicated to aim
with precision and no one was injured.

four of the crew was lost and no trace

sailors remained on the reef for three
weeks, finally putting to sea in an inn
provised boat, headed for Hong-Kong.

can consul looked after their comforts.
He arranged for their transportation
to this port. Captain Jergensen de-

of space in the Mills building, which
is to be occupied by the navy depart
ment and marine corps, is the cause

miral Bradford, be put in the base
ment of the navy department build
ing.

er than submit to the adoption of the

An Injected Ship Quarantined.

New York, March 11.-SiX strange
deaths at sea aboard the Anchor line
steamer Karamania, from Marseilles,
Palermo and Naples, caused that ves-
sci to be detained at quarantine yes
terday and Health Officer Doty, after
an examination, said the symptoms
were so similar to those of cholera
that the ship would be thoroughly
disinfected and its 1893 passengers and
the crew sent to Hoffman's Island to
remain there until the health Office
positively knows they are free from
infection. The bodies were buried at
sea and the meagre report of the
ships doctor increased Dr. Doty's
suspicious. Each of the six victims
died in convulsions following an at
tack of nausea and cramps.

KILLED INSTANTLY.
A Citizen of Buffalo Is Hurled from
an Automobile Into N Stone Quarry.

Buffalo, March 11.-Nore terrible
almost than the death of Z. L. Bur-
dick, was the tragedy that occurred
late Tuesday afternoon when Arthur
R. Pennell, one of the chief figures
in the investigation of the Burdick
murder, was hurled headlong into
eternity. Mr.. Pennell was riding in
his electric automobile, with Mrs.
Pennell. They were on Kensington
avenue, sl1imming along the edge of
the Genres stone quarry, a huge
rock-ribbed hole in the ground. Mr..
Pennelrs hat blew off. The automo-
bile swerved and in some inexplica-
BILE manner it leaped over the curb
into the abyss below. Pennell was
killed instantly, his head being
crushed to an unrecogniZable mass.
Mrs. Pennell was injured so severely
that the surgeons at the hospital to
which she was taken say her chance
of recovery is very slight. Two boys
saw the tragedy. They were too far
away to know positively just how it
happened.

MANY ROASTED ALIVE
Oil Train Wrecked and the Fluid
Takes Fire.
Crowd Gathers mt Scene - Explosion
scntters blazing oil and specta-
tors Are Enve1oped-Twen-
ty-TwO Dead.

Olean, n. Y, March 10.-Over a score
of persons were burned to death in
the railway yards here while watching
a fire in a string of oil tank cars that
had been wrecked and some of WHICH
were on fire. An immense crowd had
been attracted by the blaze and both
sides of the yards were thronged,
when one of the big tanks exploded,
throwing great showers of the burn
ing liquid over the spectators. A wild
panic resulted and those showered
by the oil ran toward the more for
tunate and stampeded them in every
direction. Dozens of persons started
to run with their clothes in flames and
had barely started when rivulets of
burning oil carried the flames to the
tank cars still intact. A third explo-
sion followed, still repeating the hor-
rors of the others and adding new
victims to those already screaming in
agony.
Twenty-Five Bodies Found.
At one o'clock this morning % bod
les have been recovered from the
Nwrcckage. Some of them are burned
beyond recognition, only the trunks
and skulls remaining. AS nearly as
can be estimated As are seriously in
jured, and it is feared many of them
will die. Scores who were badly
burned were able TO go to their homes
and are not counted in this estimate.
The trouble was started by a spe-
cial freight train on the Erie, which
was made up principally of oil cars.
The train broke in two. and in trying
to get them together the entire train
was wrecked.
Explosion Draws Crowd.
The first explosion served only to
draw crowds of people to the scene of
the wreck, and no serious damage be-
yond the loss of the cars had resulted
up to that time. The second explosion
did not take place until some time
later when the crowds had assem-
bled. 1t was while they were lined
up along the tracks that the second
explosion followed. The flames com
municated quickly with the other tank
cars and third explosion added to
the fatalities. Sheets of flame shot
ont in all directions. Scores of persons
were caught within the zone of the fire
and enveloped in flames.
An Awful Sight.
Men and boys ran screaming down
the tracks, with their clothing a mass
of flames. Others fell where they
stood, overcome by the awful heat.
Flames shot outwards and upwards for
a great distance. Several persons who
started to run away dropped on the
railway tracks and never moved agnin.
Others who had been standing close to
the tracks were hurled through the air
for hundreds of feet. Half a dozen
boys ran down the tracks with their
clothing on fire Their screams could
be heard quarter of mile away. They
ran some distance down the track and
then threw themselves to the ground
groveling in the bitches in their fran.
tic efforts to eXtinguish the flames
Then they lay still. some of them un.
conscious, others dead.
