ITALIAN WOMEN R0UT POLICE
STORM BROOKLYN SCHOOLS TO
SAVE CHILDREN FROM THK
MURDER DOCTORS"

New York, Oct. 6.-Believing that
the murder DOCTORS" as they called
the board of health physicians, were
cutting the threats of their children
IN a public school in the williamsburg
section of Brooklyn 1900 women, near
ly all of them Italians, stormed the
school building in a mad effort to
reach the little ones. Before the riot
had been quelled several policemen
had been seriously injured by the in
furiated women and one of the rioters
had been arrested.
For several days physicians of the
board OF health have been examining
the eyes and threats of the pupils. A
contagious affection of the eyes had
spread from the homes of the Italians
in the vicinity of the school and the
doctors were, directed to make an in
vestigation to learn the cause and to
exterminate the disease.
- First Force Of Police Routed.
Many Of the pupils, upon going to
their homes, told their parents that
the murder doctors" wanted to cut
their threats and frenzy that does not
listen to reason spread among the
mothers of the pupils. They decided
to make an investigation in z body

WARsHlPs TO BE WITHDRAWN.
Naval Vessels Of Little Use in Cuban
Waters.

Is
Washington, Oct. cit is expected
that the largest ships of the Amer
lean fleet, if not all Of them, will be
withdrawn from Cuban waters as
soon as there is a sufficient army
force landed to afford security to the
provisional government and the pro-
lection of property interests. The
ships themselves, it is stated at the
department, do not afford any protec-
ton to Cuban interests save as being
quick transports and barracks for the
bluejackets and marines which have
been landed on the island There is
no suggestion that>the big guns of the
ships or even the smaller batteries
would be used against the towns and
cities whose harbors are large enough
to accommodate naval vessels. There
fore, 1t is stated at the department,
the ships will be ordered to resume
the cruises WHICH were interrupted
when the rush osSers to proceed to
Cuba were issued.
Governor Taft has the direction of
the vessels in Cuban waters. The
sailings and arrivals are reported to
the navy department here as the regu-
lations require, but the orders to the
naval officers are given by the war
secretary The withdrawal of the
ships will no doubt depend upon the
wishes of Secretary Taft after the
army has landed.

iN11MATEs SURPRISED THAT Gu.
BAN PRESIDENT HAD ASKED
FOR INTERVENTION.
READY TO GIVE up FROM START
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OF THE
BELIEF THAT REBELLION
COULD BE CRUSHED.

Havana, Oct. 6.-None of ex-Pres-
ident Palma's intimates, save the cab
met officers, his private secretary and
United States Consul General Stein
hart, had any knowledge of Palma's
communication in September to the
government at Washington, made pub
lie by Secretary of State Root, and
the greatest surprise is manifested at
the fact that Palma actually suggested
Intervention as a solution Vice Pres
fdent Mendez Capote, as an attorney,
had privately advised certain foreign
corporations that in his opinion the
necessity for Intervention was i'm
minent, but that Palma had asked out
right for Intervention was not init
mated by anybody. It was we'll known
that Palma was nervous and fearful,
but it was not generally believed that
he was SO ready to give up, although
it had often been rumored that he
was weakening.
Governor Nunez, who visited Palma
daily perhaps as often as any one eX-
cepting the vice president and cab
met officers, said that he thought it
very strange that Palma had taken
,uch step without informing him.
He did not wish to express an opinion
of the ex-president's action, but it was
certainly all the more strange in view
of the fact that the government felt
and had every reason to believe that
It was fully
Able to Control the Situation
without American assistance Nunez
believed the government forces could
have successfully resisted an attack
on Havana and that with its increas-
ing army the government could have
eventually suppressed the rebellion.
The prevalent comment now is that
Palma gave way to panic in far
greater degree than was indicated in
his call on Mr.. Sleeper, the American
charge d'affaires at Havana, and Com
mander Colwell to land the United
States cruiser Denver's sailors. -

HoNTAs, W. VA.


Roanoke, Va, Oct. GA telegram
received here states that up to II
a. M nineteen bodies have been re-
covered from the West Fork mine at
Pocahontas and it is thought that
there are still forty in the mine. There
is no evidence thus far. of fire and the
work of rescue. is not. retarded It will
probably be two days before all of the
bodies have been found a.!
Many of the victims are negroes
and Hungarians, but a large number
of citizens of Pocahontas were killed,
leaving widows and orphans:
The cause of the explosion cannot
definitely be learned as yet, but it is
thought to be due to a gas explosion,
followed by afterdamp. The mines
were considered the safest and best
ventilated in this section and the com.
pany has been at an enormous expense
in equipping and yentilating them.

plosion of Illuminating gas in the sub
way of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company, under construction at Sixth
and Market streets. resulted in the
death of seven men, the injuring OF
about dozen others and caused prop
erty damage that will run into the
thousands of dollars. Besides the
seven men that are known to be deal
It is said that at least three others
are buried under tons of earth in the
wrecked subway.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore Z o'clock and in consequence of
the early hour but a few workmen
had gathered. The explosion was
caused by leak in city gas main
that had been improperly repaired
The escaping gas formed in a pocket
in the subway and it is believed that
workman carrying lamp into the
great hole ignited the gas The corner
of Sixth and Market streets is one Of
the busy sections of the city, but there
was fortunately little traffic there
when the explosion occurred About
a dozen worllmen were gathered near
a large derrick and five men are be-
Heved to have been in the subway
Victims Blown Long Distance.
The force of the explosion wrecked
the subway for half block and all
the heavy timbering and other struc-
tural work, including tons of earth,
fe!! into the excavation. Several of
the workmen who were standing near
the derrick were blown across the
street and either killed or injured and
a number of pedestrians were hurt
by falling glass and signs from the
tall business houses on both sides of
Market and Sixth streets.
While the damage done to the sub
way, to the citys gas and water mains
and the electric light and telephone
cOnduits is considerable it will not
compare with the destruction wrought
to surrounding property. From Fifth
street to Seventh street on Market
street and for half square on Sixth
street both north and south of Market
street not whole pane of glass is
left. All the large plate glass win.
dows were broken and thousands of
dollars worth of goods in the show

signs were torn from the roofs and
walls of buildings and it is considered
remarkable that no more persons
were killed.

THREE DISTINCT STORMS IN VICINITY
FOUR PEOPLE KILLED AND MUCH
PROPERTY DESTROYED At
PoNTCHATOULA.

New Orleans, Oct. ga tornado
passing through five miles of the resi-
dence and factory section Of New Or
leans during the day injured at least
fifty persons and did fully $780,
900 damage. Half an hour after the
tornado had left the city, travelling in
a northerly direction, telegram from
Hammond, La, fifty miles north of
here, said that four persons had been
killed in a tornado at Pontchatoula, a
nearby town. Great property damage
at Pontchatoula was also reported.
A report was brought in from the
neighbOrhoOd of Lake POntchartrain,
outside the city limits, that lives had
been lost, but the report lacked con-
f1rmation. Although several deaths
were reported in New Orleans imme-
diately after the storm investigation
showed that probably not a life was
lost here. Many of the injuries to
persons occurred near Roberts street
and the river front, where the Column
bia oil mill and the Jefferson saw mill
were badly damaged. A woman and
child were injured by the blowing
down of house at First and Magnolia
streets and a negro in Douglas parish
was reported to have been picked up
bodily by the wind and carried several
feet, being badly bruised.
Accompanied by Heavy Rumble.
The tornado entered the city near
Audubon park, having crossed the Mis-
sissippi river from the farming coun.
try opposite that point. The wind was
accompanied by low ranging cloud
and heavy rumble. 1t travelled north
west until it reached the fine resi-,
dence portion of the city at st. Charles
and Napoleon avenues. Here the
damage was the highest done in any
part of the tornado's course. ~.-v
From St. Charles the wind proceed
ed straight ahead to Marriage and
Carondelet streets, where it veered
sharply to the northward and in this
direction passed out of the city.

Atrocities.

King Of AMMAN Guilty Of Flendish
Atrocities.
Paris, Oct. 6.-Thamh Thai, king of
AMMAN, according to stories reaching
Paris from Indo-China, has again been
guilty of such atrocities that the
French government may become COM
PEELED to adopt rigorous disciplinary
measures, as it did several years ago.
The mails report that in August the
king was seized with homicidal
mania, ordered seven of his wives to
be executed and looked on with de-
light while they were slowly tortured
to death. A few days later the king
shot down a prince, who was seventy
years old, a member of the council of
the royal family, highly esteemed and
the last surviving son of King Mimi
Mang. The king wants to come to
Paris, as the king of Cambodia did,
but the French press declares that
such ,fiend shall never be allowed to
visit France. #%

New York, Oct. 6-Further confer
ences by directors of the United States
Steel corporation were held in the
Office of j. P. Morgan & Co. to con-
slider certain phases of the proposed
lease of the Great Northern's ore lands
to the Steel corporation. It was an.
nounced afterward that progress had
been made in the negotiations, but
that the matter had not been brought
to & conclusion. .. =.. i
That more or less work remains to
be done before the lease can be closed
seems indicated by the fact that no
call has yet been issued for meeting
of the directors to pass formally upon
the terms of the lease. This would
not be done, it was explained, until all
the questions under discussion have
been settled to the satisfaction of
both parties to the deal.
