ner in which the Inflated vessel was
being steered, her course threatening
to run down his own vessel, boarded
the Berwind and placed the negroes
in irons.
1t developed from the stories of
the negro prisoners that the mutiny
arose as the result of quarrel

breakfast. The King was signaled by
the Berwind 30 miles east of Frying
llghtship, and in response to a signal
Captain Taylor sent his mate, engi-
neer and others on board.

crimson with blood, giving evidence
of an encounter. The berth of the
mate was spotted with blood, indicat-
ing that he was butchered in bed.
After the boarding party from the
King handcuifed the mutineers one of
the negroes complained the irons
were too tight and hurt him, The
bracelet was loosened, when the cap
tive drew pistol and shot one of
his own crew. The total list of hi.
ed is four whites and one negro, the
names of none of whom can be learn

ANOTHER SHORTAGE OF $1,000
Cuniffe Went Home, Changed His

Affectionate Farewell.

One Of the most gigantic robberies
in the history of the express business
was perpetrated in Pittsburg, october

yictimlzed to the extent of 100000
in cold hard cash. Edward G. Gun

CunlifGe was employed in the
money department of the express
company, and on that day he had a
chance to serve in the place of the
regular money clerk. With the
chance came the opportunity to
handle package containing the
large sum mentioned, $4,000, being
in 500 bills.
Monday afternoon at AIS o'clock q

Adams Express Company, a package
containing currency to the amount of
100000, which was consigned to q
bank In Cincinnati. Cunliffe, acting
as regular money clerk, made out a
receipt for the amount to the bank
messenger. In the package were
$4,000 in 800 bills, $4,000 in s5G
bills and the remaining $4,000 in de-
nominations of S., $40 and $40 bills.
The $lO0 and $50 bills were new,
having been just issued by the Far
mers Deposit National bank, of Pitts
burg, and the Bank of Pittsburg, N.

currency which had been used r
company supposed that Cunliffe had
started the money on its journey to
Cincinnati, and it was not until the
next morning, when Cunliffe did not
report for work that the large sum
was missed. Then 1t became suspect
ed that one of the most daring rob.

was not the slightest suspicion of
anything being amiss. He went to his

sMUGGLERs AND cANNleALs
DepIorabie Conditions Found IL
Hayti and San Domingo.

II, f. Worley, an agent of the insu.
lar bureau, who was sent to Santo
Domingo to investigate the revenue
conditions on the border between the
Dominican and Haitien republics, has
made a partial report to the U. S. war
department. He estimates that the
smuggling that has been going on
across this border has cost the
Dominican government from $25O,OOU
to 100000 a year.
Mr.. Worley also made a trip into
the interior of Hayti while he was
on the island, aAd says that reports
were often brought to him of savage
customs in the widest regions, in
cluding cannibalistic feasts, where
the victims are babies. These reports
were sufficiently authentic to be be.
lieved by him.
The method of smuggling, he said,
was to land goods in ports at Hayti
and send them by coasting vessels
near the Dominican line. They were
then carried over the border by mule
trains. Some of the largest mercan-
tile houses in Monti Cristi had their
warehouses far inland, where these
goods were smuggled across the bord-
er. Mr.. Worley was sent down there
to establish customs houses in the
interior between the two countries,
and he was warned that If he attemp-
ted to carry out his instructions he
was liable to be assassinated, so de-
termined are the smugglers to con-
tinue their traffic. But customs
houses have been established and
others will be established until 1t will
be impossible TO continue the smug-
Cling.
