SIXTY ZULUS DIE
in HILLSIDE FIGHT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
DURHAM, Natal, May 6.-Colonel
Mansell's column, which is pursuing the
Zulu rebel chief Bambaata, was at
tackled today by 200 Zulus while de-
scending a precipitous hill near the
grave of Cetewayo. Sixty Zulus were
killed.
Colonel Mansell had three men
wounded.
Manself was engaged in a reconnois-
sanee from Fort Yolland. He was CO.
operating with other columns in expel-
ling the rebels from forest with a
view to cutting Bambaata off from
escape. He thought the Zulu attackers
were Banibaata's men.
They numbered altogether over a
thousand men and attempted to employ
the crescent formation adopted by the
Zulus in war and only Colonel Manseil's s
prompt disposition of his forces pre-
vented disaster.
The Zulus displayed desperate fury.
They were armed with rifles and asse-
gals and evidently had been drugged
by witch doctors, who pretend to be
able to render them impervious to
bullets.

Independent Oil Man
Now Looks for a
Square Deal
Shows How the Standard
Company Will Be
Affected
"With Genuine Competition ccnsunn-
ers Would Benefit by Lower
Prices" Says Former Senator
James w. Lee

Special to The Herald.
PITTSBURG, May 6.--"For fifteen
years we have been contending for a
square deal, and from the presidents
message IL looks as If our laburs were
to be rewarded at last" said former
Senator James w. Lee, one of the lead
ing independent oil men in the country,
today, In discussing the message of
President Roosevelt to congress on the
Standard Oil company.
ut looked dark often enough" he
continued, but the independents have
kept their hearts up and it really looks
as II we are at last to come into our
own. If we could get equalization Of
rates and other things we are entitled
to and which the Standard Oil COM
pany enjoys it would prove a great
baan to many people. Instead of $45,-
100000 profits going into the Golfers of
the Standard Oil company yearly a
large part of that amount would go
into the pockets of the people of the
United States.
Means Saving to Consumer
with competition in the oil business
the price of oil would be lower to the
consumer, and at the same time the
producer would be given fair market
price for his product and would not, as
now, have to take what the Standard
Oil offers him, according to its whims
and the state of it's treasury.
MANY of the wells that are aban-
doned now in western Pennsylvania.
and other places that cannot be worked
at profit would be started up again.
for then the price of crude oil would be
increased and the small wells, which
under present condition are lost for
ever, would be a benefit to those who
own the property on which they are
located
What Open Market Means
Going further into the effect a free
and open market without dlscrimira-
tion would have on conditions in this
neighborhood, Mr.. Lee said
There are still undiscovered pools
of oil in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia, but they are not
gone after because the cost of Wild
eating is so high that unless big wells
are brought in there is no chance of
those drilling getting back their money.
"Other ways in which this nefghbo
hood would be benefited would be that
with more independent producers there
would be more work, with the orgari-
zation of new oil companies. Refineries
wuld be erected here as they were In
the old days, before they were dis
mantled by the Standard.
Could Use Pipe Lines
"By refining the oil here we could
send it to the seaboard in the pipe lines
after 1t had been made ready fer the
market, as it is much easier to pipe
refined oil than it is to send the crude
through the long tubes.
III. H. Rogers and John D. Archbold
of the Standard in discussing the Gar
field report and the presidents message,
say:
:" OF the 26,O00.0o0 barrels of oil an
nually manufactured, 15,0O0.000 barrels
are exported each year, and with its
manufacture and price the American
public is not interested,
"I wonder if independent people are
not interested in it when they have q
foreign market, in addition to having
agents to sell their product in other
countries?"

Deadly Bomb Hurled
at Vice Admiral
DoubaSSof
Two Killed and Several
Injured by Explosion
at Moscow
Man Wearing Officers Uniform
Awaits Approach Of Carriage
Near Entrance to Palace,
Weapon In Hand
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
MOSCOW, May ga bomb was
thrown at the carriage of Vice Ad-
mlral Doubassoff, governor general of
Moscow, as he was being driven to the
palace today. He was wounded in the
foot and his aid de camp and a sentry
were killed.
The man who threw the bomb is re-
ported TO have been killed. He wore
an officers uniform. Access to the
palace is barred.
Governor Doubassoff was returning
in an open carriage from the Uspenski
cathedral, and the outrage took place
outside of the carriage entrance to his
palace. Several bystanders were in
jured.
Life Saved by Poor Aim
According to the route decided upon
in advance, the governor general should
have returned to the palace by the side
entrance, but during the drive he
changed his route and thereby ran
into the peril he was seeking to avoid.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff's life was
saved by the poor aim of his would-be
assassin. The bomb exploded. on the
pavement several PAGES to the rear of
his carriage, hurling the mutilated
corpse of the terrorist several yards
backward, and tearing off an arm and
the face of an aid who was descending
from the carriage
Governor General Doubassoff was
thrown from his carriage and under
the horses heels. His back was burned
1 and his leg bruised. He was unable to
walk unassisted into the palace.
coachman's Skull Fractured
The coachmans skull was fractured
and he was taken to hospital. 4
It',1s thought the assassin was the
student in whose rooms a bomb ex-
ploded Saturday, killing. three accom-
plices, but who at the time was watch
ing the palace from a room in the hotel
opposite.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff was APP
pointed governor general of Moscow
In December last. He is also an aid
to the emperor and a member of the
council of the empire. Since his ap-
pointment as governor general several
plots against him have been uncov-
ered '-G
Almost Immediately after he had
taken ONCE he incurred the enmity OF
tue TcVOlutlOnlSlS, VINO entered lnIu
conspiracy to abduct him, but this
failed.
Life Threatened
In January he was advised that an
attempt would be made at the celebra-
ton of the ceremony OF blessing the
waters to assassinate him. AS a re-
suit Prince Kosavlosta was arrested
charged with being an accessory to
the conspiracy.
In March a bolder attempt on Dou-
bassoff's s life was frustrated by the ar
rest of a woman who had actually in
vaded the palace. She gained admit
tance on the plea that she had come
from a personal friend of the governor
general
Her actions In the chancellery at
tracted the attention of an aid. He no

woman's hair, which was worn in a
high coiffure. Investigation alarmed

FLOOD THREATENS
SEVERAL TOWNS

FLEE TO HILLSIDES
Recent Earthquake Dislodges Side Of
Mountain and Cache Creek
Is Damned for Long
Distance
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated t'ress.
SACRAMENTO, May GA special
from Woodland to the Sacramento
Union says:
THE threat of flood In the Capay
valley resulting from the slide of earth
that has fallen from the mountain side
and damaged the waters of Cache
creek is growing increasingly serious.
1t may be assumed that the slide in
question was in some way the result
of the recent earthquake and 1t is now
found to. be 1000 feet wide and to COM
pletey close the water course. Ever
since the occurrence the waters have
been steadily piling up behind it and
II was found by measurements taken
this morning that a depth of 100 feet
had been reached.
Too Late to Use Dynamite
If 1t had been taken at an earlier
stage the dam might have been blown
UP with dynamite and the waters re-
leased without danger to any locality,
but 1t is now too late to do this, as it
feared. The dam Is of soft earth and
debris and there is some hope that it
may absorb the water or cut out grad
ually and the water pass in harmless
quantities. Should it give way to the
pressure the results will be very serious
and large area of country will be
flooded.
The towns in immediate danger are
Capay, with a population of something
under 4O0 Rumsey, with a population
of 200 and Guinda, with a population
of $50, all in Capay valley.
Citizens Flee to HIIsides
The inhabitants of these towns are
SO far impressed with the possible dam
ger that confronts them that they have
abandoned their houses and removed
their belongings, even to the contents
Of the stores, to the hillsides, where
they are camping with their families.
The railway company Is taking pre-
cautions for the protection of the line
and for prompt repair of any damages
that may be caused and watches have
been placed upon all the Yolo bridges to
keep the bridges clear of brush and
trees If a break occurs.
