Shoot Thousands OF
Goats and Carry
OF Hides.
Mexican Government Sends
GunbOat to Capture
the Robbers.
Thieves Make Their Escape From tho
Island and Are Now Seereted in
the Gulf of California.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

Ell PASO. Tex, June ia telegram
to the Herald from Mazatlan says that
robbers from the coast Of California
recently made a raid on the island OF
Guadalupe in the Gulf Of California,
shot several thousand goats and car
ried off their hides.
The goats were the property Of
Francisco Alvarez, who holds possess
sion Of the island under a Government
concession, and who has been engaged
in raising goats there for several years.
While the thieves. were still on the
island shooting and skinning the goats
word of their depredations reached
Guaymas, and the Mexican gunboat
Democratic was sent from there to take
them.
The robbers, however, saw the gun
boat in time to make their escape. car
ry1ng the hides with them. The pi-
rates are supposed to be the same who
have been stealing guanO from the
coasts along the Gulf of California for
several months past.

East River, though the Knickerbocker
Steamship Company which owns the
Slocum, officially states that the num-
Der of passengers was S37, that being
only one-third of the vessels capacity.
1t is thought, however that there were
several hundred children in arms, for
whom fares are not usually charged
on these trips, on board.
At the extreme eastern end of RAN
dalls Island, off One Hundred and
Thirty fifth street. there is a stretch of
water known as the Sunken Meadows.
At this point the General Slocum took
fire and as the age of the vessel-she
was built in 1891--had aided in the sea-
soning of the wood, with which she was
almost entirely built, she was soon a
mass of flames.
The fire is said to have broken out
in the luncheon-room on the forward
deck, through the overturning of a pot
of grease. The wind was high and all
efforts to subdue the flames were futile.
TURNED BACK FROM SHORE.
At One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street there were several lumber yards
and oil tanks and as Captain William
Van Schaick, in command of the Gem
eral Slocum, started to turh his vessel
toward the shore there he was warned
that it would set fire to the lumber
and oil, so he changed his course for
North Brother Island one of the twin
islands near the entrance to the sound
where the boat, partially burned was
beached. She sank near this place at
1885 O'Clock this afternoon, two hours
and twenty-five minutes after the fire
was first discovered.
In the meantime the passengers had
become panic stricken and those who
were not caught by the flames rushed
f the rear Of the vessel and hundreds

BRITISH GUIANA FRONTIER
QUESTION Is ARBITRATED
Award of King of Italy, to Whom Dis
pute Was Referred, Is in Favor
of Britain

ROME, June 15.-The award of the
King of Italy in the Anglo Brazilian
arbitration regarding the frontier OF
British Guiana, which was handed to
the British ambassador and to the
Brazilian Minister here yesterday, is
in favor of Great Britain.
The frontier is determined by a line
starting from Mount Kakontipu and
continuing easterly along the waters
to the source of the river Ireng to the
confluence of the Tactutu, following
the course Of the Tactutu to where It
joins the line Of the frontier estab-
lished by the declaration attached to
the treaty Of arbitration of Novern-
ber s, 1901. BY virtue Of that dec
laration all the zone in dispute in the
east line of the frontier viii belong
to Great Britain and all the part west
will belong to Brazil. The rivers
Ireng and Tactutu viii remain open
to the free navigation Of both sides.

The life preservers were too securely
fastened to their holdings to be avail

forts made by strong men to cut them
loose but even If they could have been
torn down they were too high up for
the children to reach. 1t is also al
legged that no attempt was made to get
out the fire apparatus at the first cry
of "Firei" though Captain Van Schaick
says that he Immediately rang the
bells for getting out the apparatus.

NEW YORK, June 15.-James Collins,
a special policeman. together with Po-
liceman Herbert Farrell and Olaf jan
sen, mate Of the schooner E. A. Bay
liss, were the first men to reach the
Slocum after she was beached. They
rowed out and took twenty-five living
persons from the ship, besides picking
up sixteen bodies. Most Of those res
cued were clinging to the paddles OF
the Slocum, and three Of the women
were dead with their hands still
clenched on the buckets Of the wheel.
Collins said:
Il heard the terrible screaming out
in the stream. l looked I'D and saw the
Slocum blazing and persons dropping
into the water. With Farrell and jan
sen 1 jumped into the yawl and rowed
after the burning ship as fast as posi-
BILE. Tugboats were then following her
but the heat was so great they could
not get near her. When she beached
we pulled toward her, but as we came
nearer the heat singed our hair. We
pulled toward the roaring fire. Present
ly we found ourselves well up under the
sides of the ship.
When l pulled the coat off my head

ship Crowded by SundaySchooI
Excursionists.

NEW YORK, June 15.-One Of the
Of New York, tragic IN ITS immensity,
dramatic in its episodes and deeply
pathetic in the tender age of most of
its victims, took place to-day in the
East River, at the entrance to Long
Island Sound. within short distance
Of the New York shore and within
sight of thousands Of persons, the ma
jority Of whom were powerless to
minimize the extent of the catastrophe
BY the burning to the waters edge
of the General Slocum, three-decked
excursion steamship. the largest in
these waters, more than 600 persons,
the majority of whom were women and
children, were burned to death or
drowned by jumping overheard or by
being thrown into the whirlpools by
the lurching Of the vessel and the
frantic rush of the panic-stricken pas
sengers.
Approximately 4s5 bodies have been
recovered and are now being tagged
at the morgues of Bellevue Hospital
and Harlem.
Divers were still busy ar a late hour
taking bodies from the hold of the
vessel, which, they say, is choked with
the remains of human bodies, while
the bodies of scores who leaped or were
thrown into the river have not been
recovered.
STARTS ON FATAL TRIP.
The General Slocum had been char
tered to carry the excursionists to Lo-
Gust Grove, one of the many resorts
of Long Island Sound. 1t is variously
estimated that there were between 1000
and 1900 persons on board the Slocum
when she left the pier at Third street.

PETALUMA, June 15.-Professor
w. L. Foss of Petaluma High School
suddenly lost his reason Monday and
is now confined in a private asylum
at Livermore. Overstudy is given as
the cause, and the outcome Is
thought to account for the dissension
among the faculty Of the Petaluma
institution noted for the past few
months and which has occasioned
wide comment. Foss had hired a
hall and announced a lecture for
Monday evening for the purpose OF
telling all about the city's educational
system. His erratic conduct during
