OUR WARSHIPS
DISTURB FRANCE
Government Said to Favor
Withdrawal of Some of Our
Vessels Now at Tangier

PARIS, June 4.-Although no Official
intimation on the subject has been
given, IT is understood that France
adopted a view favorine the with
drawal of some OF the American wer-
ships now at Tangiers. The presence
Of the American ships there has had
the effect of attracting ships of other
nationalities, including Italian and
British.
According to the French view, II a
local agitation occurred American.
Italian and British ships might land
forces to preserve order, and it is
pointed out that this would involve Sc
rious responsibilities upon the United
States and would also have the effect
Of discrediting Frances paramount in
fiuence in Morocco. The American Of
ficials say that the United States war
ships will be promptly Withdrawn if
France undertakes the entire burden of
securing the release of Perdicaris. Thus
far, however. France, while Offering to
do everything possible, has no desire to
assume the burden of settling the incl
dent The French officials say they
gladly would relieve the United States
Government of the embarrassment of
the Moroccan affair. but they did not
wish to do so by placing themselves in
a similar embarrassment.

PEORIA. H., June Am explosion
which occurred in the eleven-story
warehouse of the Corning Distilling
Company this afternoon completely
wrecked the building. The ruins took
fire and communicated to three adjoin-
ing buildings and they were burned to
the ground. Ten men were buried be-
meath the ruins and burned to death.
Six others were injured. The loss on
the buildings and whisky and spirits
stored viii approximate $1OOO,O0O The

The injured: Adam Werner, Edward
Werner, Elmer Hogan, ]. B. Marshall,
James NJ. Miller and Allie Feinberg.
The warehouse, containing in the
neighborhood Of 10000 barrels of whis-
ky, was instantly a seething caldron,
and ii was known that no one inside
the big structure could live a moment.
The whisky from the bursting barrels
flooded everything in that section, and
in a short time there was a foot of
whisky in the street. 1t was burning
furiously, and the cries Of 5000 steers
chained fast in the stockyards were
pitiable TO hear. Their distress lasted
but a few moments, however, for they
were soon dead, either roasted or suf-
focated by the fumes.
Frederick Knoll and William Finley,
who had charge Of the men employed
in this department, had just left the
building when the explosion and col
lapse came. Knoll was crushed to the
earth, and almost instantly the place
where he had gone down was enveloped
in flames.
The gaugers, fifteen of whom were
working at the warehouse, had COM
pleted their work and gone away.
There were three storekeepers in the
building, but it is reported all of them
got out safely.
