Of signs. But notwithstanding this
circumstance, all possible questions
may be asked and answered, and every
item OF information given In tho full

the conversing crafts be miles asun-
der
The alphabet of this silent tongue Is
usually flags Of various shapes and
colors. But should the distance be-
tween the ships, or between the ship
and q signaling station, be too great
for colors to be distinguished, or
should the wind be blowing between
the two so that the flags are end on,
one of two other methods must be
adopted. The first is to represent each
"A cone, ball and a drum. The Sec
ond Is to make use of a semaphore
having three arms, the positions OF
which with regard to one side or the
other of the post, and whether they
are horizontal. upturned or downturn

AS the ships which speak to each
other are frequently of different ma
tionsAties, it is necessary that the sig
nal should be international or common
to all; and this is SO. And another de-
sirable thing is also provided.

with an accident. The last time 1 set
eyes on you was In this room. You
cursed and swore at me. You went on
your knees and prayed the Lord In a
most disrespectful manner to revenge
you, as you put it. Do you wish me to
forgive those idle wordsp Man alivs!
you might as well ask me to forgive the
last nights thunder. Reproaeh yourself
as much as you please-1'm glad you've
got such tender censeiSnce-but don't

malice because you got into a temper six
years ago!"

David, with a sigh Of infinite satisfac-

sweet satisfaction and secret enjoyment.

Not one penny-not one penny, Da-

determination In Mr.. Laghan when It
came to refusing money.
"Its natural that you should say so

quite changed. He began by being con-
fused, hssitating and Ehamefaced; he was

tAan a week fierce fighting has been
going on between the rival factions
IN bAka, the great oil city on the shera
OF the Caspian, and in q score or mora
OF scattered villages. The princnaI
cause OF the outbreak, according 10
St. Petersburg advices, Is the Meslem
hatred OF the Armenians. The Tartana
who are followers Of the prophet. are
a cruel and rebeilious people, brookine
restraint OF any kind and intensely
hating the Christians. How the first
clash between the factions occurred IL
not stated in the reports coming from
the scene of hOstilities, but the dis

er places were experiencing all the
horrors Of actual war.
While Baku was the storm center OF
tho lighting, there was great slaughter
In outlying towns and throughout the
whole oil region. In the village OF
Shusha the fighting between Tartars
and Armenians continued five DAYS
and several hundred persons were
killed or wounded Almost the entire
town was destroyed by incendiarles,
the government buildings, churches and
schools having been burned. A score
Of other places shared a somewhat
similar fate. A large number Of the
people in Duduktkhu, Achilla, Edilu
and Bukutan were slaughtered and
the villages having been plundered by
the Tartars were then set on fire, :,
At Balakhan a serious conflict oc.
CURED between 1000 Armenians and
the government troops which had been
dispatched to maintain order Orders
had been given to the soldiers to shoot
down all rioters, whether Tartars or
others, and the Armenians, on refusing
to dfsperse, were rnked with artillery.
That the Armenlans, however, are
capable Of giving a good account of
Themselves Ia evidenced by the fact
that liz the Baku district they have
killed or wounded / 500 Tartars.
The government troops sent to the
disturbed region have proved unable to
restore order and heavy reinforce
Hannts are now arriving at Baku. That
city ID utterly demoralized. Ineen-
diary fires have laid considerable
portion OF 1t in ashes, and hundreds Of
tanks filled with oil and naphtha have
hcen destroyed. Hundreds of reinenes
In and about Baku have been burned
and the loss inflicted upon the oil In
dustry alone will reach S90000O00. All
production is paralyzed and the indi-
rect as we'll as the direct loss to trade
Is enormous. Even with order restored,
and that seems to be still far OF, II
will take moro than a year before con
ditions in the Baku region will become
normal. The Tartars are still plumber
ing and burning wherever opportunity
offers and are daily being worked up
to greater fanaticism. The following
incident which occurred in Baku
shows tMeir desperate spirit band

house OF rich Mussulman and fred

JACOBSEN TO THE WOODS

The Cleveland outfit enjoyed a bat
ting matinee at the expense OF two
Washington pitchers yesterday and
drubbed the Nationals to the tune OF
: to 0.
The strenuous thirteen-inning strug-
gle, followed by the mob scene the
day previous. had depressing effect
upon the home players and they trudg-
cd onto the field like beaten team.
There was no life or dash in the team
and after Cleveland had gotten a com
fortab BILE lead in the first three rounds
the game became rather boring.
After the visitors had driven Jacob
sen off the mound in the third inning
Jack Townsend was called onto the
rubber but as ne was fighting Cor d lost

his twisters were massacred

the stahHtes down with five scattered
bingIes Only two Nationals worked
around as far as third, but they got
no farther. for Hess drew up the strings
and they died at Bill Bradiey's corner.
While the batting Of the Ohio players
was the feature, brilliant doings in the
fielding line were scarce. With one man
on base Jack Townsend smashed one of
Hess slow ones 10 within a few feet
of center field fence, but after a long
run Vinson made q neat catch which en-
titled MIN to the fielding honors Of the
