MURDEROUS PULAJANES
BROKE THROUGH LINES
Outlaws Attack Small Town on Island
Of Leyte and Murder Officials
and Burn Buildings.

New YofK.--A special from Manila
says: zone hundred and fifty Pula-
james pierced the military Gordon,
burned the municipal buildings, killed
the ex-president of the town, two for
mer members of the constabulary and
three policemen at Abuyon. island of
Leyte, twenty miles from the scene OF
the recent fight One hundred sol
diers and constabulary are in pursuit
of the raiders.
Major Crawford and Captain Knau-
Der, with a lieutenant and eight con-
stabulary men, were ambushed by
Igorrotes while shooting the rapids of
the Abulung river in northern Luzon,
on bamboo raft. Major Crawford,
Captain Knauber and five men were
wounded with arrows They were I'M
able to return the fire because the en-
envy were hidden on the wooded banks
of the river. This outbreak is mex
plicable, as hitherto the Igorrotes have
been peaceable."

THREE HUNDRED
LIVES ARE LOST
Italian Steamship. With 500
Souls on Board, Wrecked
Off HOrmigaS Island
A Number Of Fishermen Who Attempt
to Rescue the Terror-strIeken Pas
sengers Are Drowned-captaIn
Of lll-Fated Vessel Takes
His Own Life.

Cartagena, Spain.-A terrible marine
disaster occurred Saturday evening of
Cape Palos. The Italian steamship
Sirio, from Genoa for Barcelona, Ca
dlz. Montevideo and Buenos Ayres,
with about 800 persons aboard, was
wrecked of Hormigas island. Three
hundred immigrants. most of them
italians and Spaniards, were drowned.
The captain of the steamship COM
mitted suicide.
The bishop of San Pedro, Brazil, also
was lost, and 1t is reported that an
other bishop is among the missing.
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away In
the ships boats or were rescued by
means of boats sent to them from the
shore.
A number of fishermen who made
attempts at rescue were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in a pitiable condi-
ton, being without food or clothing.
The Sirio struck a rocky reef known
as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon aft
erward, stern first. Hormigas island
lies about two and half miles to the
eastward OF Cape Palos.
The Slrlo was owned by the Navlga-
Eiona Itallana, OF Genoa.
Before he committed suicide, the
captain declared the steamer had $40
passengers on board and that her Drew
numbered 1877 men. The Sirio had $40
passengers when leaving Genoa, but
additional Spanish passengers were
taken aboard at Barcelona, where the
vessel touched a few hours before the
disaster.

WOMAN ATE THE CONTRACT
With Document in Her Midst, She
Asks, "What Are You Going
to Do About ItP"

The boom in real estate at Flushing,
L. l., has landed part Of valuable CON
tract in Mrs ]. s. Eardley's midst ana
stirred up no end Of trouble between
her and Thomas Pritchard, of Booraem
avenue, Flushing.
Mrs. Eardley, who lives in Brooklyn,
sold six lots in Flushing to Mr.. Pritch-
ard. Mr.. Pritchard paid deposit, and
Mrs. Eardley signed a contract agree
ing to surrender the lots to him for a
certain price. Prices Of Flushing prop
erty have Jumped up as much as Is or
30 per cent. in one day. Mrs. Eardley
heard Of this, and her soul was sad.
She called at Mr.. Pritehard's office.
Il want to keep my lots" said she,
briskly.
Madame. you can't" he replied with
utmost suavity.
Lets see the contract" said she,
soothingly.
Mr. Pritehard handed her the pre-
cious paper, and In the twinkling Of an
eye she had bitten a big piece out OF
1t. Mr.. Pritchard grabbed her throat.
Then came a fierce struggle between
hand muscles and throat muscles, and
throat muscles won, for Mrs. Eardley
swallowed large chunk of the con-
tract and smiled in bitter triumph at
her foe.
I'll have the law on you!" he cried.
POOH" sneered she. i've got the
evidence in my midst, and I'd like to
see the court that can find out any
thing about it,"
And there the matter rests.

Harvesting the Mississinni.

Work will be begun before the year
is out on dam across the Mississippi
river, at the foot of the Des Moines
rapids, for the development of water
power. 1t will be the greatest project
of the kind except the combined works
at Niagara, the dam the greatest in
the world except those built by the
British in the Nile. A minimum of
$4,000 horse power is to be obtained
and transmitted to factories in the
heart of the agricultural center of the
nation. The dam will be in sight of
the three states of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, the legislatures of each state
having adopted resolutions approving
the work and promising all possible
assistance. The estimated cost of the
work will be 100000, which is 800
per horse power on the minimum pow
er capacity of $4,000 horse power. The
cost of supplying power, includinNSll
fixed charges, maintenance, operation
and all expenses, is closely estimated
at eight dollars per horsepower-year
the cost of steam power in the terri
tory within 200 miles now being from
$40 to $65 per horsepower-year, with
$55 as a conservative average.-The
