THEY FIND AN INTERNAL MACHINE
BOX CONTAINING A HUNDRED
POUNDS OF DYNAMITE ON
THE PIER.
REVEALED BY WARNING LETTER
DECLARES THAT MAFIA WILL
MAKE WAR ON BRITISH
VESSELS.

e YORK, May Ian ih:ernal ma
chine %conra:tnI with a hundred
pounds of dynamite was found in a
bcx on the Cunard pier Saturday.
According to the expert opinion of
the superintendent of the bureau of
~combustibles, the box raj found and
put into the river just in the nick of
time to prevent it from exploding and
demolishing the pier and the .Umbria,
which was alongside and about to sail.
The box was left at the pier in an ap-
parent attempt to have it placed
aboard with the baggage of the pas.
sengers. The Umbria sailed a few
minutes after the box was discovered
and all or board were in ignorance ct
the attempt to place an internal ma
chine aboard the vessel.
Greeting From Malta.
The discovery of the box was due 70
the following letter received at police
headquarters. addressed to Commits
sioner Greene:
Dear Sir: The Malta greets you
and wishes you well. At the Cunard
dock is a box containing n hundred
pounds of dynamite. Inside also is a
machine, properly set, ard explodes
itself any time within ~tkjrty-six hours.

ton of every steamer flying the British
flag that sail out of New York barber.
The undersigned received orders to
begin operations by sinking the

dren took passage on the boat that the
society's plans were changed at the
last minute. The machine in the box

and to convince those interested that
the society is not making idle threats.
The society has undertaken to clear
New York harbor of British ships, and
it will succeed. The 81 for this
movement the society does not wish to
disclose; suffice it to say that the so
ciety, in order to protect itself, must
carry the wal into the enemy's coun-
try. and it goes without saying that it
proposes to wage war as fiercely as 1t
knows how. This is the society's first
and last warning, and those who pro-
pose to p%atronize British steamers
must take their chances in the future.
The society asks and givesiPo quarter,
so-lay on, lay on McDuf' and damn'd
be he that cries hold-enough.
-"PfetrO de Martini"
"P. S. The battery is not attached,
fuses without caps and lighters not
set. Consequently there is no danger
in handling the box"
The box was left at the pier by two
men, apparently Italians. who drove q
light wagon, and who told the baggage
master that it would be claimed by a
passenger.

Americans. AZ

Manila, May ~. - Albert Roberts,
his column have returned to Camp
Wears. Mindanao, from the expedition,
through the country east of Lake
Lanao. The column experienced no
opposition after the fighting at Taraca.
The prisoners captured at Taraca took
the oath Of allegiance to the United
States and were released. Among the
Moros killed in the Taraca forts were
nine dattos and one sultan. The mora.
effect Of this fight will be far-reachinS.
and it is doubtful If there will be any
further hostility in the Lake Lanao
country. Capt. Pershing estimates
the population of Taraca at 10000, and
that of the district at 100000. He
says the population of the Lake Lanao
district has been underestimated.
