rafis, France.-A dispatch to the
Temps from constantinopIe, giving ad-
ditlonal details of the outbreak at
Beirut, says that when the soldiers and
police sought to stop the encounter be-
tween the Mussulmans and Christians,
which occurred near the Orthodox
Church. the fighting became general,
and resulted in thirty persons being
killed OF wounded. The soldiers lost

Two telegraphic reports about the
Beirut outbreak were received here.
One of them, very brief. was from
United States Minister Leishman. and
the other was from Admiral Cotton,
VINO SEN a much fuller statement.
Mr. Leishnian's dispatch follows:
"Constantinople.-A riot yesterday at
Beirut. Seven Christians killed. sew
eral wounded. Two houses Christians
pillaged. by soldiers. Officer and sig
mailman from Admirars ship now in
consulate. Investigation of conditions
Ill Beirut by flag lieutenant and other
officers. Origin Of riot not distinct,
Sublime Porte claims Beirut now quiet
ana government force sufficient to in
sure order. LEISHMAN.'
Admiral COttOn's message was in
cipher and became so badly mixed in
transmission that it could not be fully
translated. He says that the trouble
was u to religious animosities. and
the failure, apparently on the part of
the authorities, to prevent crimes.
In Admiral COttOn's opinion there are
enough Turkish soldiers now at Bel
nut to control the situation sif prop
erly disposed Of"
Copies OF messages were ~telegraphed
to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
Whatever action is taken by the Gov
eminent in the situation in Turkey will
be by his direction. The sole purpose
OF the Administration in sending Amer.
lean warships to Beirut was to give
better protection to American interests.

conditions in Turkey as seriously af-

Sofia, Bulgaria.-All reports from the
Vilayet of M0nastir agree in describing
the situation as appalling. Between
10000 and $4,000 Bulgarian inhabitants
are believed to have been massacred
by the Turks, and every Bulgarian vii
lage in the valiyet has been destroyed.
At present it is impossible to obtain
precise figures. The revolutionary

number of refugees are slowly perish

In Official circles these figures are re-

stufYed a Monkey with Money

What probably is the queerest of
places for hiding money has just been
revealed by the death in Paris of Louis
Kerki, a supposed pauper, who for
years had received relief from the au-
thorities. The other evening he was
found dead in his room, with a stuffed
monkey clasped fondly in his arms.
The gendarme who was summoned
noticed that there was a slit in the
monkeys skin, and out of curiosity he
thrust a pencil into the aperture. This
led to the discovery that the monkey
was filled with papers. The gendarme
drew out a letter which stated that
the writer, in fear of burglars, had
placed his savings in the monkey, and
he then tore open the animals body.
1t was found to contain $1,000 in bank
notes and securities to the value of
$5OO0.-New York Press.

BLEW UP SHIP FOR PRACTICE.


American Invention For Protecting Bat
tleships Given a Costly Test.
Portsmouth, England.-The old bat
tleship Belle Isle was torpedoed here
and sank at her moorings. For the
purposes of the experiment a section
had been constructed on the port side
of the Belle Isle representing the side
Of a modern battleship. This was
filed with an American invention
which, it was claimed, would prevent
a ship from sinking when the hull is
penetrated below the .7ater line.
When the vessel was truck a huge
column of water enveloped her, she
rolled heavily and then settled down
with a list to port. The Belle Isle
will be raised for further experiments.
1t is stated the damage done to the
ships bottom is extensive.

concerned over the failure of the an
thracite coal-carrying railroads to fur
nish the detailed report of their opera
tons as provided by the law author

stipulated that a statement Of the
