Pension Increase.

Vouchers covering the amount Of
Confederate pensions to be dlstribut-
ed in the various counties were mailed
out from the Auditors Department to
the chancery clerks to be properly
certified, when they will be returned
and the money shipped to The coun-
ty treasurer to cover the amount due
each pensioner. There are 7,84O pen
sioners, an increase Of 578 over last
year. The largest number is the pre-
rate class, who receive $3.50 each, q
slight reduction under last year, being
due to the increase in the number Of
beneficiaries. The TOTAL amount is
$249, 649.S0, which strains the appro-
priation Of $25o,OO0 very closely. This
distribution establishes the record of
being the earliest ever made, notwith-
standing that some of the lists were
delayed in reaching the Auditors

Foreign Immigration.

The first stepe towards DETECTING
New York s immigration tide and en-
couraging new settlers in the rural
regions Of the South will be taken
soon when ship load of Belgians
will be brought direct to the port of
Charleston from Bremen in North
German Llyod steamer. The expert
ment is one in which the immigration
officials are greatly interested, and
although the immigrants will be fore
ed to undergo the same rigid seruti-
ny at the Southern port as is requir-
ed at Ellis Island, the preject will be
helped along in other respects as
much as possible. Arrangements fer
bringing the Belgian migrants South
were made by special immigration
commission Of South Carolina. The
plan is to start regular service from
Europe to Charleston, the ships bring
ing immigrants there and returning
with a cargo Of freight.

Fugitive Cuban Banker.

tive Cuban banker, that he financed.

sistants and others likely to know
the facts in the case, do not believe

extraordinarily frightened by the In

fitness as the result of the killing of
General Quentin Bunderas, the negro
who was slain by rural guards August

Woman Burned to a Crisp.

Fort Worth, Tex.-A special to the
Record from Muskogee, I. T., says:
A disastrous fire swept the little
town of Checotah, twenty miles south
of Muskogee, last night and Mrs.
Strother, a milliner, was burned to a
crisp IN her home. The loss in dollars
is not estimated at this time, but it
is heavy.
The fire broke out last night about
midnight. It's origin is not known.
There is little fire protection in Che
cotah, and before the FIRE could be
checked it had burned . dozen small
frame buildings. $50
Mrs. STROLLER was a milliner and
lived in the rooms over her store.
When the fire broke out she was aWak-
ened. She hurriedly got her three
children down the stairway to safety
and telling them she would be back in
minute, she remounted Che stairway
and disappeared in her bedroom. That
was the last seen of her.

$1,000, 900 Embezzlement.

New York-The assignment of J. M.
Ceballos & Co., bankers and merchants
with liabilities between 100000 and
100000, has been announced. The
statement declares that the failure
was due to the defalcation and alb
sconding of Manuel Silveria, of Sill
veria & Co. Havana agents for the
New York company. Silveria s defal-
cation is alleged to amount to ST. ,000-
600. He sailed from Havana October
?, ostensibly to consult here with the
members of j. M. Ceballos & Co., but
has not reached this city. Counsel
for the assignee said today that Sill
veria has left Oh his own steamer, the
Carmelina, for parts unknown, ac-
companied by his wife and children,
and that every effort was being made
to locate him. The members of the
firm Of j. M. Ceballos & Co., are j.
M. Ceballos, J. A. Fisk and Alexan-
der Anderson.
The assignee is William E. Rowe,
an attorney. Mr.. Rowe said that the
assets of the firm are of substantial
character, but from hasty examina-
ton 1t was manifest that they would
require careful investigating. 1t was
stated unofficially that there is ground
to hope that the assets will be suffi-
cient to cover the losses, and that the
firm may be enabled to resume bust
ness.

MEET DEATH
ON BURNING
HUNDREDS OF CHINESE LOSE
THEIR LIVES.
2,0o0 PASSENGERS ON BOARD
Together With Much Merchandise
Only Shell Of the Boat Remains to
Show Complete Destruction.

Hong Kong. The steamer Hankow,
with 1000 Chinese passengers, men,
women and children, and seven Euro-
peans and a cargo, including 500 bales
of mating, $50 bales of raw silk and
400 bales of waste silk, arrived from
Canton and was shortly afterwards
moored at the wharf. Her chief Of
Ger reported to Captain Branch that
the ship was afre. The captain then
directed the chief engineer to turn on
the water through the fire hose. This
was impossible for the reason that
within FIVE minutes after the alarm
was given the Hankow was ablaze
fore and aft. Captain Branch awak-
ened the European passengers, who
rushed down the gang way, the ladies
In their night clothes. The crew was
compelled to leave the ship, which
was by this time veritable furnace.
The Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into frightful panic. Hor-
rifying shrieks to save their lives were
heard, but escape was impossible, ow-
ing to the infammable mature of tho
cargo. Hundreds were burned to death
and many others jumped into the har-
Dor and were drowned.
Responding to signals from the Bri-
fish cruiser Flora the naval dock yard
dispatched contingents OF engineers
and assistance. The land and floating
brigades of tiremen made herculean
efforts to extinguish the flames, which
leaped to height Of over sixty feet.
The British steamer Pow An, which
was berthed at the same wharf, was
towed out to save her from destruc-
ton. A neighboring pier a hundred
yards distant was burned to the wa
teris edge. Gov. Nathan accompa:l-
led by his aide-de-camp, arrived at
the scene at 4:15 this morning.
Gov. Nathan suggested scuttling the
ship. but the suggestion was found to
be impractieable. When the fire was
brought under control only the she'll
and hull of the Hankow remained.
The grewsome work of recovering the
dead was begun. The fire fighters
have already recovered seventy-fve
corpses. Many of them were hud-
died together, and. only singed, while
others were incinerated. The two
hundred bales Of raw silk was saved,
but badly damaged by water. The
remainder was totally destroyed.
There are many theories as to the
cause of the FIRE. One was that it was
caused by the overturning off the Ian
terra Of Chinese boarding house run
ner, who came aboard seeking Gus
toners. The second was that all
Aopium smoker accidentally set fire to
