Vienna, November Z: AdVices
received here from Roumania state
that all Bessarabia is afiame with an
archy. Conditions are described as
frightful. At Ismail, where disorder
reached the climax last night, state
of siege has been declared. This
morning the town is repoc ed I" be In
flames. The firemen, instead of check
ing the flames, are assisting the incen-
diaries. A massacre of Jews similar
to that at Odessa and Kishineff Is pro-
ceeding. Last night the mob marched
through the Jewish quarter killing
every Jew that could be found. This
morning the dragons fired on the riot
ers killing forty-two and woundlng
ia. Near the railway station al Tiras-
pol, last night, band Of robbers, as
sisted by soldiers, made an attack on
a train containing the fugitive Jews
All passengers were killed, and another
armed band recruited from the butch
ers marched up and down the country
numbering people and robbing them.
This work is continuing unchecked.
Numerous freak letters are being
received at the offices Of the Panama
canal commission among the many ap-
plications for employment on the 18TH
mus. A man who wanted work as a car
penter wrote, in part, as follows: MY
experience at carpenter work is such
as building houses, barns bridges,
mills, sidewalks, fences, docks, boats,
passenger coaches and freight cars.
am very skillful in other works too nu-
merous to mention, such as railroad
ing. building railroads, numbering,
steam boating, saw milling, farming,
building pavements, concrets docks
water fountains. AS 1t is, am Won
der to the world, but not to God. AS
I have no tools, maybe 1t would be
best to buy them there. Will I need
anything to fight elagators with? Or
sharks? I am very brave. What is the
people like? Can they talk United
States? Have they churches there
And preast? have learned to love the
government here, yet do not love its
custom, because they are not wise.
How can they be? They chew tobacco,
drink iHtoxica1ts, play silly games, can
not learn nothing in college"
Washington, Nov. 6: The senti-
ment among naval officials in favor of
larger war ships with increased gun
power will, 1t Is expected result in an
appeal to congress to increase the ton
mage Of the two battle ships author
ized by the act Of March last to $4,000
tons. The general board Of the navy,
of which Admiral Dewey is at the
head, has submitted to Secretary Bon
aparte a recommendation for a naval
increase programme. The secretary
now has the subject under considera-
ZION. II is understood that the general
board has recommended the construc-
tion Of bat:leships of greater tonnage
than any yet projected for the Amer
lean navy. One of the principal OBJ
Jects aimed at by the advocates of
bigger battleships is the installation of
a greater number of the largest sized
guns carried by American men-of-war.
Consideration has already been given
TO the possibility of installing ten 12-
inch guns on a battleship, and If con-
gress favors an increase in tonnage of
the Michigan and South Carolina, the
two battleships authorized last March
from $4,000 to $4,000 tons, one Of the
problems to be solved will be the dis
position of the large number of 12-inch
guns. which 1t Is desired to mount
