MEMBERS OF CREW MURDERED
Labor Recruiting Schooner Attacked in
 the New Hebrides.

Victoria, B. C., June 10.-News was brought by the steamer Moana, which has just arrived from Australia, of the murder of members of the crew of a labor recruiting schooner in the New Hebrides. The murder took place at the Island of Mallic, where Bishop Selwyn was attacked and had nar- row escape in 1851, and many murders have since taken place. The schooner Marie Henry, Captain Gaspard, an chored off Bushman's bay, and Noel Bettari, a Frenchman, and Kanaka, landed to recruit native labor. The two men assembled a number of na- tives and everything seemed peaceable when suddenly they were attacked, and though they fought hard, they were overpow by numbers and killed. The French cruiser Muerthe and the British gunboat Archer have gone to punish the natives.
 News was brought that the sultan of Johore, who is visiting Australia and who will visit the United States before returning to India, was treated as an alien by the immigration authorities in western Australia and had difficulty in landdAg. The sultan was greatly an- noyed. He said: ''King Edward would receive me with honor. but although was born on British territory have to obtain permit to land there"
 The American bark Star of Bengal and the French bark Vincennec, which have arrived at Sydney, report having passed through several miles of pllmice stone sixty miles south of the Tongan group of islands.

RIVER UP AGAIN.
Trouble Is Not All Over at St Louis
 Voh

St Louis, June 1O.-The river this morning rose to 37.9 feet, the highest point reached here during the present flood. East St Louis, a city opposite here with a population of 32 1000, hav- ing large manufacturing interests and the terminal point for railroads from the north, east and south, is partly un- der water and will probably be totally submerged before noon.
 The southern half of East St Louis this morning is deep in the flood and the city's 2,50O levee builders lave faI- len back on Missouri avenue in an at tempt to save the remainder of the city, menaced by swelling waters from three sides. Broadway, the central east and west tho roughfare, has been abandoned to the flood. Lee Harper. former city engineer, says that the wa ter will be two feet deep in front of the city hall before 6 o'clock this even- ing.
 Seven miles of water, pressing from the south and southeast, overcame the city's line of defense shortly before i o'clock this morning and 5000 persons were driven from their homes
 Numerous reports of drownings have been received. but the East St Louis police have thus far learned no names of victims.
 One thousand men were working on the part of the levee which broke. For twelve hours before the final break they had the active assistance of hun dreds of women and children The break came at St Louis valley crossing of the Illinois Central embankment. two miles south of the relay depot.
 While as many men, women and chil- dren as could stand on the embankment were heaping sandbags between the rails to prevent the menacing waters from mounting over the top, the re- sistless current broke through the lower part of the wall of earth and spurted in rivulets in the faces of those who were carrying the sandbags up the bank. Bags thrown into the openings by dozens of men were tossed by the waters like feathers.
 The alarm was given by the ringing of bells and blowing of whistles in every part of the city. A few of the workers on the embankment remained at their posts until the rushing waters made 1t necessary for them to swim for their lives. Families aroused by the alarm, seeing the water at theil door-sil1s, hurriedly collected a stock of necessities and fled. The Washing ton school was the nearest point of safety. Many made for the high ground near the Illinois Central tracks.

west end and a friend named Fred Sey- mour the night of the assault.
 Witness knew WoIcott about five years and was frequently in his pool room. He saw Clifford Vandemark there but could not say if he saw James Ennis there. Did not know Joseph Kelly. Was not sure if he knew Thomas Kenny. Knew Charles Thorpe and Stephen Ball. Did not know Michael Ryan or Costello.
 Could not say when he was last at Wolcott's pool room. It may have been a week or day or two before the arrests. He was there perhaps ten or fifteen times before the strike. He could not say how often he had been there since the strike. The fact thab he knew it was claimed that he was there the night of the assault did not freshen his memory as to how of ten he had been there. He was posi- tive he was not there after o'clock that evening, but would not say that he was not there before that fdme. It was some time in January when he be gan to run the automobile bus, but could not say exactly when. He never saw Clifford Vandemark in the pool room in the evening either before or after the strike.
 During a short recess at 3:15 o'clock MT Williams asked the defense to not communicate with Winnegar Winne- gar had left the stand and was walking toward his lawyers when MT Hamilton bade him keep away.
 About March he ceased to drive 'bus, and since that time he has en- gagged in various occupations.
 On February 27 he was on his 'bus as usual, all day, and when he had made his last trip he went for home. He believed he went home that night because he did not recall going any where else. The first he heard of the assault was on Friday morning. He heard 1t from MT Fogarty. Gould not say if he had any meals home on March 8, Sunday.
 Did not hear anyone say on the night of February 26, "Giye it to him, Bill" He could not recall anything particular on the day or evening of February 26 He was sure he did not leave town except to go to Waterville. Could not say that he saw Dennis.
 During the recess this afternoon a little tilt took place between States Attorney Williams and Attorney Ham ilton which few noticed in the rush to the ice pitcher and the general hustle that followed the courts exit to his private office Mir Winnegar was pass ing over towards the other prisoners, evidently with a view to getting drink. Sand while passing Mr Hamilton the accused's counsel remarked that he had better keep away. This aroused the states attorneys ire, who did not know the tenor of MT aHamiIton's re- marks, and hen 1ustily pro- Helaimed6s against it, but MT HafWflton made nothing out of it and replied in that modest way for which he is famous that counsel for the state was needlessly alarmed. MT Winnegars then took a seat some dis tance from his counsel and MT Wik Hams In the fulness of his heart called for the court messenger and requested him to bring Wfnnegar drink of water if he needed it.
 Winnegar was on the stand at press hour
