Doubtful Compliments.

The compliments paid by the poor
are often put in an amusing way.
One old woman who was very fond
of the rector said to Mr.. Bernays,
You know, sir, us likes the rector; is
ears are so clean," surely an odd
reason for parochial affection. An
other admirer once declared with re-
gard to the whole staff of clergy.
You are all so plain"-a word Of high
commendation--"bu as for the vicar,
'e's beautiful" The greatest compli-
ment, though at the same time the
most curious. Mr.. Bernays ever heard

ness, "What likes bout the bishop Is

Local Japanese are wildly enthusl-
astic over the coming of their general.
All the Japanese stores in the city

.FULLAM IS QUICK TO AC1
ARRESTS POLICE AND SOLDIERS
At PUERTO coRTEz.
Brutal Assault on American Negro
Arouses the commander-Says Of
tenders Must Be Punished.

Puerto Cortez, April 20, via Mobile,
Ala, May About five o'clock on the
evening of Saturday, April q. a negro
man formerly from Boyce Station, La,
named General Davis, fruit inspector
for the Thacker Bros steamship line,
was standing quietly near the railroad
station at La Laguna, where the shops
of the railroad are situated, talking
with three or four other negro COM
panions, also Americans.
A drunken Nicaraguan soldier,
armed with machete, approached the
party and, without any provocation,
demanded to know what they were
talking about. Davis answered that it
was none of his business, whereupon
the Nicaraguan soldier drew his ma
chete and raised it over Davis, who
clasped his arms around the man and
finally took away the weapon, threw
it upon the ground and went to
house near by.
A companion of the Nicaraguan sol
dier ran to a cuartel and police station
and squad Of police and Nicaraguan
soldiers surrounded the house, drag
ged Davis out and beat him brutally
over the head and body until he was
unconscious.
Within ten minutes the bluejackets
of the Marietta, under Ensign Ror-
sach, were on the spot. Commander
.Fullams orders were sharp and de-
cisive:
ARREST the chief of police and the
policemen engaged in the assault, put
! them in irons and send them aboard
ship; arrest the Nicaraguan officers
and men engaged in the assault and
hold them for orders"
It was thought possible that an at
tempt would be made to release the
soldiers and police captured by the
bluejackets, so men were landed from
the Paducah to occupy La Laguna and
additional men were landed from the
Marietta. The Paducah moved to a
position fronting the Nicaraguan
cuartels, while the Marietta covered
the cuartels in the port.
Commander Fullam, finding that the
civil authorities were incapable of
maintaining regulations or order, de-
cided to ignore the authorities and
recognize the only organized and dis
ciplined force here under Gen. Estra-
ida, commanding the Nicaraguan
forces. The Nicaraguan officers and
men arrested were delivered to Gen.
Estrada, who was advised that they
would be held responsible. Notice
Il also was served on the Honduran and
Nicaraguan authorities that repara'
ton would be demanded and punish
ment should be inflicted upon all OF
the perpetrators of the outrage.
Commander Fullam says If Davis
dies the perpetrators will be tried for
murder, presumably by court-martial
and the guilty ones hanged at the yard
arm in front of theNport. The Padu
cah was ready to sail for Ceiba and
FTruxillo, but will now remain here fol-
the present.

POWDER Blast in
China KILLS MANY
FEARED OVER 100 ARE DEAD BY
MAGAZINE EXPLOSION AT
CANTON.
Bodies of Fl Victims Terribly Mutt
lated, Recovered by Rescuers-
Famous Pagoda Only Slightly Dam
AGED by Shock.

Y Hongkong, May Avery great de-
struction of life and property was
caused at Canton Thursday night by
the explosion of a gunpowder maga-
zine. Twenty -one bodies already have
been recovered from the ruins. It is
feared that at least 100 more are dead.
Hundreds of persons were injured.
Fifteen buildings were razed to the
ground and over hundred were seri-
ously wrecked. A section 200 feet
long from the massive city wall was
thrown down.
The historical nine-storied pagoda
escaped with slight injuries.
The officials and stats of the hos
pitfalls are doing their best to succor
the sufferers.
In the Shamien suburb, where the
foreigners live, terrific shock was
caused by the explosion, but the resi-
dents were unharmed.
Roofs Blown OFF Mile Away.
Some idea of the force of the ex-
: plosion may be gathered from the fact
!: that the roofs of houses a mile dis
tant from the exploded magazine were
blown off. A number Of important
$ Chinese and foreign mercantile es
Establishments were completely demol
ished.
in the vicinity of the magazine were
shockingly mutilated. Many corpses
of men and women were without
heads.
The officer in charge of the maga
, zine was among those killed, an6
when his body was recovered a pipe
: was found clutched in his hand, which
suggests the possible cause of the ex
plosion. The financial losses are enor
nous.
Sixteen Gates Into the City.
(The city of Canton is about si'
miles in circumference and is in
closed by walls about 20 feet thicl
and from Is to 40 feet high. Their
are 16 gates into the city besides tw'
water gates. The famous nine-storie'
pagoda, dating from the beginnin!
of the middle ages, is situated in tn
western part of what is known as tn
old city. The foreigners reside in tn

Allahabad, British India, May A.
Serious nti-European riots have oc-
CURED at Rawalpindi, in the Punjab.
A Hindu mob burned two bungalows,
pillaged the mission church, looted the
post office, burned garage and all
the motor cars in it, DESTROYED the
plant of the powerhouse and smashed
the windows In the houses of many
Europeans. Armed police eventually
obtained the upper hand and dis
persed the rioters. The town Is now
patrolled by squadron of the Tenth

The outbreak at Rawalpindi is at
tributed to the influence of well-known
agitators who have bene making
speeches throughout the Punjab and
who, also, are held responsible for the
recent outbreak at Lahore.
