ALLEFFORTS TO MOVE
'MANCHURIA' FAIL

Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug. 24Agents
of the Honolulu Telephone company
visited the Manchuria yesterday with
"a view of connecting the stranded
steamer with the shore by telephone,
the advisability Of which is being
considered by the steamship officials.
During an effort made Wednesday
to pull the Manchuria of the reef,
the Manning's 414 inch cable parted.
In a statement issued yesterday, the
steamship company says that all eff
forts will now be directed towards
steadying the vessel in her present
position until Captain Metcalf arrives
from San Francisco with the wreck
ing apparatus.
The departure of the transport
Logan for Manila has been delayed

stock of the Northern Securities COM
pany, which since has been exchang-
ed for proportional. share of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
These holdings represent only part
of the stocks of these two roads,
which were acquired by the Union
Pacific in the course of the dissolu-
tion of the Northern Securities COM
pany. A large amount was sold prior
to the date of the last annual report,
it is understood. Union Pacific's
holdings of these stocks have been
further reduced since then.
At the present prices for Northern
Pacific and Great Northern it would
take more than s54,OOo,O0O to pur-
chase the Great Northern stock held
by the Union Pacific at the date of
the last annual report, and more than
51,000,0o0 to acuqire the Northern
Pacific holdings. Any syndicate form
ed to purchase these stocks would
need therefore more than $1O0,000,-
900.
1t was reported in the financial
district recently that the Northern
Pacific management has in contem-
plation an issue of stock amounting
to about $4,000, 900, so Union Pacific
unless it disposes of its Northern
Pacific holdings before the new stock
is issued, may in the near future
have occasion to increase its holdings
in Northern Pacific.

plosion of several tubes in the boiler
house Of the Absecon Pumping sta

the tiremen employed in the place,
ran quarter of a mile to the chief

to have been more seriously injured
than himself. He fell unconscious as
he told Of the accident and was

place. He was about 40 years Of age
and unmarried.
Dooley was arrested the afternoon
before his suicide by the Ipswich au-
thorities for drunkenness. He was
suffering from a pronounced attack of
delirium tremens and the officers took
good care to put him in a safe cell
and removed everything from his per-
son which they thought might be
dangerous for man suffering from
his complaint to have. The last seen
of him alive was on Wednesday even
ing, at which time he seemed to be
growing quieter.
One thing which the officers for
got to remove from his person was a
bandage which he had bound around
his abdomen after an operation for
appendicitis, which he underwent In
this city last spring. With that
bandage he made a rope, which he
fastened to the iron bar. When
found his feet were not OFF the floor

munds county coroner. a coroner's
jury yesterday pronounced the death
a case OF suicide.

MASSACRE FEARED
N jewish: ! CIRCLES
HEBREWS AT sIEDLCE, POLAND,
FEAR ANOTHER BlALYsToK
Developments There Parallel Pre-
iminaries to That Fearful slaugh-
ter-Poliee Attribute Killing of
Chief of Police Goltseff to Hebrews
Jews in Panic Flee From the
City.

st. Petersburg, Russia, Aug. pa
There is great alarm in the Jewish
circles in Russia over the develop
ments at Siedlce, Poland, where
events seem to be shaping up for an
outbreak of pogrom similar to that
at Bialystok. The developments
parallel almost exactly the prelfm-
inaries of the Bialystok massacre.
The long series of revolutionary and
terroristic signs have been attributed
by the police to the Jews eliminating
as was the case at Bialystok, in the
assassination of Chief Of Police
Goltseff
The funeral Of Goltseff yesterday
was the occasion of a great demon
stration by the Russian population.
The condition of the feeling is shown
by the refusal Of Goltseff's widow to
receive wreath sent by a Jewish So
ciety as a mark Of its disapproval of
the assassination. Similar incidents
occurred at Bialystok. It now de-
velops that after the explosion of
the bomb in the street of the Hebrew
quarter and which, according to Off
cial explanation was accompanied by
revolver firing from four Jewish
houses, troops opeaed general
fusilade in which sesen Jews and one
Christian were killed and many
wounded. Thirty-three Jews were
arrested on the spot on suspicion of
completely in the bomb throwing ard
firing. The Jews in panic are now
fleeing from the city.
Siedlce is in the province of the
same name, which adjoins the
province of Grodno, in which Bialy-
stok is located, and the two cities are
about sixty miles apart.
Aside from the province of Stavro-
pol, the northern Caucasus Agrarian
situation is now more serious in the
province of Poltava and Vlardimar,
where the peasantry are indulging
in the customary pillaging and de-
struction of estates and incendia. ISM,
employing for the latter purpose
phosphorus with which they have
been supplied by the revolutionary
organization.
Excesses are increasing and spora-
die disorders are reported in the
provinces of Moscow, Yaroslav, Vol
hynia, Simbirsk, Kazan and Yeka-
lterinoslav.
Premier Stolypin has sent a cir
sular to all governors ordering them
to employ the most energetic meas
ures to prevent the peasantry from
taking possession of private estates,
to which they are being melted by
the revolutionists. The disaffection
of the Cossacks at Novo- Tcherkask,
which resulted in the sending of the
infantry to disperse the peasant
gatherings, eliminated in the Staying
of the Cossacks commander while he
was with his men. The circumstances
of the affair are not known yet.

Government Thought to Be

Leader Of the Latter Slain Yester.
day.

Havana, Cuba, Aug. 24.-Font
Sterling, secretary of the treasury,
late last night cleared up in a state
ment to the Associated Press a mis-
leading announcement made at the
palace last night to the effect that
the Cuban government had asked the
United States for eight rapid fire
guns manned by American artillery
men to be used in the suppression of
the insurrection. The facts are, ac-
cording to the secretary, that the
government has ordered from an
American Arms Manufacturing COM
pany four rapid fire guns and that
these pieces will be manned by form
er members of the artillery branch
of the American army now here. If
these guns prove to be effective, four
or more additional guns will be or
dered and 1t is expected that ex-
perienced gunners can be procured
in the United States to man them.
The United States has not been asked
to do anything in the premises. Sub
ject of American Intervention is not
much discussed here and is regarded
as remote possibility, there being
general confidence that the govern
ment will be able to restore order in
a short time.
The killing of the insurrectionary
leader, General Quentin Bandera, yes
terday, in an engagement between
the rural guards and band of his
followers is regarded as dealing the
insurrection heavy blow. The gov
ernment is acting with energy in
sending rural guards and volunteers
against the Santa Clara rebels and in
dispatching $50 more men to defend
Pinar del Rio against Pino Guerra.
The capture of San Juan de Martinez
by Guerra S band was not great sur
prise, though it was not expected to
occur so soon. The place was pro-
tected by a very small detachment
OF the rural guards, while Guerra's
strength was much greater.
The taking of Pinar del Rio will
be quite another thing, since there
are in the vicinity twice as many
troops as the insurgents Guerra can
muster. 1t is regarded as more than
probable that the troops will take the
offensive and If possible draw Guerra
into an open fight. While the gov
ernment reinforcements are going
forward, Guerra's following is not be-
lievsd to have been greatly augment
ed by the occupancy Of two Vuelta
Abajo towns.
Public opinion appears to vary ac-
cording to locality. In this city the
general attitude is one of loyalty.
The opposition and dependent news
papers discuss with analytical clear
ness the theory that df the govern
ment is not able to sQuelch the In
surrection within two months, other
forceful means must be employed.
There are no ringing calls to arms.
The moderatist newspapers print
with calmness the situation. declar-
ing adhesion to the government by
their party organizations but there
has been nothing that could be de-
scrfbed as q general rising OF the
people iii defense Of the government.

public, according to dispatch from

affaires at Havana, made public yes

DIR. ID. 2. Barrows, director of edu-

day. In speaking of the condition of the
islands DIR. Barrows said: 'The islands

ing. The political situation there at the
present time is the best it has ever been.
The provincial government is in good
hands. There are about forty native gov
errors for as many different provinces.
They are serious and intelligent men and
at the recent conference held in Manila
they showed themselves to understand the
situation in the islands and to fully APP
preciate the attitude of the United States,
While all these governors but one are
natives, they ali speak and understand
English. From an economic standpoint,
however, the islands are not in what l
would call a good condition. This is
caused by the fact that there is no market
for their sugar and tobacco. These, of
course, are their principal staples. They,
however, have a good market for copra
and abaka and from these they gain their
main revenue"
