FOUR PEOPLE DROWNED.
They Broke Through the Ice in
Park at Buffalo, N. Y.

Buffalo, n. Y.-Four people were
drowned in Scajaquada creek, at
the Elmwood avenue entrance to Della
ware park, last night.
Mrs. Drummer, with several chill
dren, was walking ON the ice toward
Delaware park. At the Elmwood ave-
nue. viaduct over the creek the ice
suddenly gave way under Ruth and
the two Better boys, throwing them
into the water. Mrs. Drummer was
about 20 feet away with her 4-year-old
son Walter. Mrs. Drummer ran to
the rescue of the three children. In
her efforts to save them she broke
through the ice and little Walter, who
had toddled after his mother, fell in
after her. Walter clung to the edge
of the ice and was rescued. Mrs.
Drummer was unconscious when
taken from the water and died shortly
afterwards. The bodies of the others
were recovered.

People from Wrecked
Steamer Berlin.
THREE ARE WOMEN
The Husband of the Queen of HoI-
land was Very Active in the
Work of Saving Lives.

London, Eng.-The worst disaster
the busy cross-channel traffic between
England and the continent occurred
during a violent gale Thursday morn
ing, when the Rotterdam mail steam
er Berlin, from Harwich to Hook of
Holland having safely weathered the
hurricane, was wrecked as she was
entering port. Only one man out of
the 143 persons on board succeeded
in reaching shore Thursday
Hook of Holland.-Largely as
result of the courage of Prince
Henry of The Netherlands, the prince
consort, that which appeared to be an
impossible task has been achieved.
and the heroic efforts of the Dutch
dlfeboat men have succeeded in rescu-
ing alive IL more of the survivors of
the fll-fated steamer Berlin.
The gallant Dutch lifeboat men
were rewarded after more than 80
hours of hard and dangerous work.
Bufetted and driven back time after
time, the sturdy Dutchmen refused to
relax their attempts to rescue the
handful OF shipwrecked people, and
hnally at $3.50 o'clock Friday after
noon, the receding tide and some i'm
provement in the weather having
made the conditions easier, their long
light was crowned with success
Although several of the persons
rescued were in the last stages of ex-
haustion, they now are on the road to
recovery and some of them have been
able to tell the story of their awful
experiences. Two women and child
are still on board the wreck, but it is
feared that they are dying.
The names of the passengers saved
follow:
Mr.. Young. Mr. Brodersen. Fraulein
Buttel, Fraulein Gabler Frau Schra-
der, all three of these women belong
to the opera company; man whose
name is not known, and five members
of the crew. Only two women and a
child are now left on the wreck. Of
these the two women are known to be
Fraulein Thiele and Frau Weinberg.
The husband of the last mentioned
woman lies dead in the mortuary
here.

A DECLARATION OF WAR.
1t Is Made by Honduras Against
Nicaragua.

City of Mexico.-Word reached
this city Friday night that Hon.
duras has formally declared war
against Nicaragua. President Bonila
is at the head of the Honduran troops
and is marching on the frontier of
Nicaragua.
Managua Nicaragua.-The Nicara-
guam forces on February 20 cap
tured without opposition the town
of El Truinfo, in Honduras, and
Thursday, after six hours hard fight
ing the Nicaraguan army occupied
San Bernardino, an excellent position
owing to the fact that it is in com
munication by land and water with
the Nicaraguan base of operations.
Many Hondurans were killed or
wounded and the retreating army left
quantities of ammunition and many
rifles on the field. The casualties on
the Nicaraguan side were a few men
wounded
