REAPER. TAKES
A WELL-KNOWN
SCHOOEMASTER

In the death of Professor George
Bates, who passed away at Santa Cruz
last Tuesday, California has lost one
of the most prominent educators con-
nected with its history. Less than half
century ago Bates Academy
was one of the most popular pre-
paratory schools in the State. Mr. Bates
was so proficient in this work that his
services were sought by the Regents of
the University as soon as this instttu-
tion came under State control.
There are quite a number Of proni-
nent men to-day who received their
training in Bates Academy and who
are justly proud of their alma mater.
The news Of their former masters S
death will touch them greatly. His San
Francisco school was first established
on Hyde street, but was removed later
to 2310 Clay street.
The funeral will take place to-day at
o'clock from his late residence on Clay
street. Services will be held at the Gre
matorium in the Odd Fellows Gene
terry.

Land Side Continues
Until Dusk.

CHEFU. June 2S.-It is reported here
that the japanese made a determined
attack upon Port Arthur from land and
sea yesterday. June %. and also during

captains, both reliable men, say they
did not hear any firing at that hour.
CHICAGO, June pa special TO the
Daily News from Chefu says:
Reconnaissance in force Of the ap-
proaches to Port Arthur was made yes
terday by a japanese 1otilla of three
destroyers and four torpedo-boats,
which ran in from the east about noon
and cruised along the whole bluff, COM
ing out past Laothieshan promontory.
AS the iotiIla steamed along it was
heavily engaged with the forts, but ap-
parently suffered no damage, although
a signal mast of one of the torpedo
boats was knocked out Of shape as II
struck by a shell. The operation was
backed at some distance by two cruis-
ers. one of which appeared to be the
Yakima, while one auxiliary cruiser, a
noted San Francisco liner, the Nippon,
or a sister ship, acted as sea scout in
the rear.
Shortly afterward heavy firing began
on the land side, lasting intermittently
until dusk.

THIRTY PEOPLE
DIE IN WRECK
Travellers Meet Death in
Cars That Fall From Burn
ing Bridge Into Torrent

MADRID, June 23.-Thirty persons
were killed last night in train wreck
in the province of Teruet Zone Of the
most mountainous in Spain, abound
ing in torrents). The train was de-
rallied on a bridge over the Jiloca River
and the coaches were burned.
The bridge took fire and the engine
fell into the river, dragging a number
of coaches behind it. A terrific storm
was raging at the time and the wind
famed the flames. Some of the coaches
were caught on the projecting parts
of the bridge and hung in mid air. BY
the light of the burning bridge passen-
gers could be seen jumping into the
river.
Relief trains have been sent from
Teruet, capital of the province, and 72
miles northwest of Valencia.
The victims were mostly gendarmes.
In addition to the large death list it
is feared many were injured.

PALACE GUARDS
DISPLAY ANGER
Throw Stones at Represen-
tatiyes of Germany and
France at Port Au Prince
MINISTER is INJURED
An Energetic Demand for
Redress Will Be Made Upon
the Haytien Government

PARIS, June 23.-The Foreign Office
has received a dispatch from NJ. de
Prez, the French Minister at Port au
Prince, Hayti, saying that while he and
the German Minister were driving past
the palace yesterday they were at
tackled and stoned by soldiers forming
the palace guard. M. de PREF was
struck on the leg by a stone and was
slightly injured. The Ministers wives,
who were in another carriage, were
also pelted. The wife of the French
Minister is an American.
Officials here consider it certain that
France will make an energetic demand
for redress. One French warship is
near the scene and another is at the
French naval headquarters in the W est
Indies.s
1t is expected that Germany also
will make a demand for redress.
WASHINGTON. June 23.-Confirma-
ton of the reported attack on the
French and German Ministers in Hayti
came to the State Department to-day
in the following cablegram from Min
lister Powell at Port au Prince, dated
June %:
THE French and German Ministers,
with their ladies, while passing the
palace in their carriages yesterday,
were stoned by the palace guards
French Minister slightly injured. Apol-
ogy demanded, but none given.
Thought to have cabled their govern
ments."
The most serious feature of the af-
fair is that the attack was not made
by an irresponsible mob, but by the
palace guards, which directly connects
the Haytien Government with the oc-
currence.
4 month ago the State Department
was forewarned of approaching trouble
by its agents in Hayti, and has been
watching the little republic closely,
keeping an available force near at
hand.
The Detroit, which went from Do
minican waters to participate in the
Nova Scotian celebration, will return
to San Domingo. as 1t is proposed by
the Navy Department to keep three
vessels close to Hayti and San Do
mingo.
