CHINESE PERISH
IN BURNING SHIP

Burned to Death or Drowned
European Passengers

alongside her wharf. Hundreds Of
Chinese passengers were burned to
death and a valuable cargo was de-
stroyed. All the European passengers
and crew were saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 1000
Chinese passengers, men, women and
children, and seven Europeans, and a
cargo including 300 bales Of mating,
$50 bales of raw silk and 400 bales
waste silk, arrived from Canton at
three o'clock Sunday morning and was
shortly afterward moored at the
wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain then directed the chief for
eigner to turn on the water through
the fire hose. This was impossible
for the reason that within five min
utes after the alarm was given the
Hankow was ablaze the fore and aft.
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed
down the gang way, the ladies in their
night clothes. The crew was COM
PEELED to leave the ship, which by
this time was veritable furnace.
The Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into frightful panic. Hor-
rifying shrieks and cries to save their
lives were heard but escape was i'm
possible, owing to the inflammable ma
ture of the cargo.
Hundreds were burned to death and
many others jumped into the harbor
and were drowned.
The fire was started by the over
turning of lantern by opium smok'

CUBA OWNS ISLE OF PINES.
Provisional Government VIII Not Mix
With Its Affairs.

Havana.-The provisional govern
ment will have nothing to do with the
question Of the sovereignty of the Isle
Of Pines or with the separation of the
government of the island from the rest
Of the Cuban republic. The executive
authority Of the United States already
has declared that the Isle Of Pines be-
longs to Cuba and has embodied that
Affirmation In a treaty conceding the
sovereignty Of the island to Cuba, and
this treaty is now pending ratification
IN the American senate. The entire
matter being one for the adjudication
Of the state department, the provis-
ional government, which Is wholly un-
der the war department, will not mix
therein.
The mode of the government of the
Isle Of Pines as part of the Cuban re-
public may be altered or amended but
the desire of Americans in the Isle OF
Pines for territorial or municipal gov1
eminent as part OF the United StateS
cannot be conceded by any act on the
part of the provisional government Of
Cuba or the war department.

Of Troops In the Philippines.
Washington.--An argument against
the reduction in the number Of troops
in the Philippines is made by Major
General Leonard Wood, commanding
that division, In his annual report. The
total garrison on June 80 last num-
bered 20,043 men. 1--WE are far from
home" says General Wood, and in
case of foreign disturbances even with
all our troops concentrated at Manila,
the force available would be barely suf-
ficient to defend II from a serious at
tack. Moreover, strong garrison
should be maintained here until con-
ditions pertaining to the civil govern
ment are well established and the ami
mosities and disappointments incident
to the building up of local govern
ment under new and perhaps strained
conditions have passed away"

 The principal speaker of the after noon was Rev. Jacob Zeff, of New York, and besides him Judge Ullman, Dr. Nevaloff, of this city; Rabbi Rosen and Rabbi Fromer gave short addresses All were anxious to start some sort of organization which would provide means to assist Russian Jews who are expected to emigrate to this country in the near future and thus escape the op- pressiSn of Russia It is expected that some of these emigrants will come to New Haven, and the fund is for those unfortunates In particular. The plan suggested involves an organization of 2.000 members, each to be assessed twenty-five cents monthly for the cause.
 No definite action was taken yester- day but it was voted to adjourn until next Thursday night at o'clock, the next meeting to be in the Rose street synagogue. At that time a committee will be appointed and the definite work of organization will begin.
