MOCK WARFARE ON
LAKE MICHIGAN

South Manitou island, Mich, Aug.
Appropriations for sham battle
of naval reserves began about 8
o'clock yesterday morning, when the
Yantic landed a gatling gun and a
section of infantry to throw up a
line of rifle pits to be held by the de
tense. The main force of the defense,
consisting of about $50 men from the
Yantic and Gopher, landed at about
Z. o'clock About the defense had
disappeared in the woods and hills
and the rolling country of the island,
and the attacking party, 200 strong,
left the fleet On approaching the
beach the rowing boats cast off from
the launches and pulled rapidly for
the shore. A one-pounder gun kept
up a hot fire upon the enemy, whose
scouts could be seen in the woods
back of the village. The men of the
attacking force were well placed,
charging through the woods and to
the right and left tanks. The quick,
sharp bark of the one-pounder in the
boat, the steady rattle of the Krag-
Jorgensen rifles on both sides and the
muRled splitting of gatling guns from
the defense trenches walked up the
little community of South ManEou
island to a condition of wild excite
ment and enthusiasm. After the pos
ition had been carried by bayonet

THREE HUNDRED
EM|GRAKTS DROWN
WERE BOUND FROM ITALY TO
SOUTH AMERICA.
THE CAPTAIN SUICIDES
Confesses Responsibility, Then Takes
His Own Life-Terribe Scenes
Follow When Vessel Strikes Reef
A Wild Scramble for life
Fishermen Save Many.

Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 7.-Thres
hundred Italian emigrants, pound for
South America, persisted Saturday
evening when the steamer Sirio,
from Genoa to Buenos Ayres with
700 persons on board sank off Hormi
gas island near Cape Palos, after
striking a reef while running at full
speed.
A large proportion Of those who
died were women and children, who
were OverpOwered by the frantic men,
who hurled them into the sea from
the boats in which they were placed
by the officers of The ship or cut them
to pieces with long knives
The fight for life after the ship
struck was bestial. Men seized
whatever weapon came to hand, and
the struggle for life preservers and
boats began. The ship was rapidly
sinking by the stern, and the of
ficers and crew tried to get the WON
en- and children Off in boats. One
boat was already filed with women
and children when a group of men,
armed with knives, attacked them,
killing several and forcing the others
to give up their places.
The captain of the vessel, attribut-
ing the disaster to his own i'm
prudence, committed suicide. Before
doing so he declared the steamer had
645 passengers on board and that her
crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio
had $40 passengers when leaving
Genoa, but additional Spanish pas
sengers were taken on board at Bar
celona, where the vessel touched
few hours before the disaster.
Fishermen along the coast sought
to render every assistance in their
power and sent out boats which
brought many survivors ashore Most
of the officers of the Sirio were
saved.
The survivors have gone into camp
in the main square of The town at
Cape Palos.
The Sirio was an iron vessel of
4,141 tons and 5,012 horse power.
She was built at Glasgow in 1888 and
was owned by the Navigatione italian
of Genoa.
Agonized Crowds.
Genoa, Italy, Aug. THE loss of
the Sirio causes intense excitement
among the relatives and friends Of
the Italian passengers and crew,
most of whom lived here Or in the
vicinity The offices of the captain
of the port and the Italian General
Navigation company, to which the
Sirio belonged, were so beseiged b.
agonized throngs seeking information
that the police were compelled to es-
tablish barriers to hold back the
crowds.
Cartagena, Aug. Reports contin,
lie to arrive of the terrible scenes at
tending the wreck. The drowning
of the bishop of San Paolo is at
tributed to the action of an Argen-
tine passenger who forcibly took
from the bishop a life belt. One
Italian woman kept her children
afloat on a plank until they were all
picked up. A bridegroom on his
honeymoon lost his wife and sister
and an old man was saved but lost
three children.
Captain Haradi was 81 years old
and had As years experience in nav
igation.
