Terrible Scenes Enacted in Disaster
Between Manila and Correpidor,

MANILA. July 1.-THE number of lives
lost through the laundering of the pleas
ure launch San Gabriel while on it's way
from Manila to Corregidor is yet uncer-
tain. Sixty-one passengers and members
of the crew were rescued. 1t is generally
estimated that the number of passen-
gers and crew numbered ninety. Thirty
five of those who were rescued chung to
life raft and were buffeted about by
the heavy seas for four hours when the
German steamer Suveric rescued them.
twenty-five more reached Corregidor in
l1feboat. The passenger on the San
Gabriel were thrown into d panic when
the heavy seas tore out some of the
San Gabriels planking. and she began to
MI. and terrible scenes were enacted.
The vessel was greatly overcrowded and
the life belts proved to be rotten and
worthless. Few of the women and chill
dre1 on board the Inflated launch escaped.
AS far as known now there were no
Americans among those drowned.

THREE-MASTER DISABLED.
Collided With Excursion Steamer on
Lake Michigan.

CHICA 70. July 1.-THE three masted
schooner Lucy Simpson, laden with rail-
way ties and bound from Milwaukee to
South Chicago. was lowed into the Chi
cage harbor early today in a disabled
condition and reported having been in
collision at l am. about five miles off
Chicago harbor with a crowded excur-
sion steamer. The steamer. according
to Capt II. Simonson of the schooner,
backed away after the accident. before
he was able to learn her identity.
He declared, however, that shouts of
fear and sharp orders on board the ex-
cursion boat led him to believe that a
panic ensued. The bow of the sailing
vesse. was crushed in and her sails and
spars were torn. A tug discovered her
plight at daw nand brought her to this
port. Capt Simonson believed the steam
er was bound for some Michigan port
from the course it was taking.

PRICES IN THE LOCAL MARKETS
CONTINUED LACK OF RAIN AT
FECTS VEGETABLE SUPPLY.
Weather Does Not Interfere With
Peach and Apple Crop-Canta-
loupes Are Scarce.

Market dealers and buyers are feeling
the effects of the dry weather, although
residents of some parts of MARYLAND
and Virginia say their late crops were
benefited by recent showers The
weather. tt is said, has not affected the
peach and apple crops, and farmers
expect to haul more fruit this season
than for many years past. Most of the
peaches in the local markets are from
Georgia and the Carolinas They are
or exceptionally good quality and are
considered cheap at from 20 to 40 cents
pan. Watermelons from the south
ern states are also plentiful and cheap,
selling at from 30 to 80 cents. Several
times during the past three weeks
peaches and melons have been so plen-
tiful that dealers found it a difficult
matter to get rid Of their supplies Most
of the apples that are being offered for
sale are from Maryland and Virginia
ihey are OF good quality and are SELL
ing at from 20 to 30 cents a peck
While apples. peaches and watermel-
one are plentiful, cantaloupes are
scarce and high. Growers in this sec
ton expect to have but few of them
for the market this season, the dry
weather having played havoc with the
vines.
OOPSAoAAS OAk " CSLcIu. Shippers.
Dealers are depending largely on western
shippers for their supplies of cantaloupes,
although some of the sweet-air variety are
being received from Norfolk They are
selling at from - to % cents each. in
ferior stock bringing at least cents each.
Green vegetables are scarce and high,
the dry weather having reduced the sup
ply to such an extent that high prices
rule. Tomatoes were selling at 80 cents a
box week ago. but today they are bring
ing $l.5O and retailing at 80 cents a peck
The outlook for big late crop of to-.
matoes is very poor local dealer said
to Star reporter. land it begins to ap-
pear as If housekeepers will not get their
usual supplies for canning purposes. Tn
less there is a decided change in weather
conditions in the near future I'm afraid
there will be but few late tomatoes
Lettuce, spinach, beans, peas and other
similar vegetables have been affected by
the dry weather and prices are higher
than they We're three weeks ago. Dealers
are receiving shipments of lettuce from
New York that are being offered at from
10 to 10 cents a head. Corn is not so
scarce as are some other farm products,
the prices charged ranging from 70 to 30
cents dozen. Cucumbers are 30 cents a
dozen, some of the selected ones selling
as high as 10 cents each.

persons of high attachments and several
are sufficiently wealthy to enable them to
defray all expenses connected with the

The young women are going not as mere
teachers of the Christian creed among the
lowly. but to work among the high caste
women OF China, to open select schools
among the families of high social position.
to teach music and in a broad way to
present and promulgate among the Chi
nese the higher ideals that go hand in
hand with Christianity in western civiliza-
ton.

STOLEN HORSE
Skin GAME

A. X. Rogers of Douglas county
alleges a form of horse trade Skin
game" In suit filed today in the
superior court, in which Robert A.
Carroll and J. s. Boon and wife,
the last named residing near
Sprague, in Spokane county, he
claims conspired to beat him out
of $245 on a fake horse trade.
Three years ago, the complaint
recftes, Carroll went to Ritzville
with a team of horses, which he
claimed was his property, and sold
the same to the plaintiff for SEAS.
Afterward Boon appeared on the
scene and claimed that the horses
had been stolen from him and
took them back with him to
Sprague.
Since the recovery of the horses
by Boon, Rogers says he has learn
ed that he was the victim of a put
up game, in which Carroll and
Boon divided the proceeds equally
He asks that he be given judy
ment against them for the amount
lost by him in the transaction, and
interest for three years.

STUDENTS
GO WRONG

Two students for the priesthood
at st. Thomas college in Mime
sofa 13 years ago, one of whom is
now in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla and the other is fugitive
from justice. were the alleged con-
spirators who united with ]. E.
Craddick, a Spokane mining brok-
er, in fleeing Ed Thompson, an
unsophisticated Swede laborer
from the Occur d'Alenes, out of
$500 of hard earned cash through
the medium of clairvoyant and
fake mining deal.
Such was the allegation made
this morning by Deputy Prosecu-
tor ]. Stanley Webster in his open
ing statement to the jury in the
case against Craddick for obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Condin and Haas were college
students of 13 years ago and met
in Spokane last spring at the time
Sahara" was holding forth here
as a fortune teller, seer and all
round faker. The state says that
Craddick, Sahara and Haas then
entered into a conspiracy whereby
they were to fleece the patrons of
the fortune teller by inducing them
on advice given by Sahara to in
vest in mining stocks sold by Grad.
dick. Haas was the go-between
that introduced the victim to Grad
dick.
In this way 1t is claimed that
Thompson was induced to part
with his money for a number of
shares in the Pinar del Rio mine
in Okanogan county, which after
ward proved absolutely worthless.

ARMY ASKS s189,755,039'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The
total estimates of the war depart
ment for the next fiscal year, as
shown by the annual report of the
secretary of war, amount to $780,
755,039, an increase of about $751;
100000. This increase is largely
for river and harbor work, and
other public works of a civil char
acter, for which purpose about $24,-
100000 is asked. OF the balance,
about $10,500,0O0 is an additional
estimate for the support of the
army, military academy and the
militia. For military public works,
such as Notifications, arsenals,
military posts, etc, the estimates
call for an increase of $17.S00 900.
Secretary Wright especially
recommends an addition of 612 off,
GERS to the army, and also approves
a policy for the elimination from
the service of all officers who fail
to maintain the requisite standard
of efficiency. +
The report shows that the army
is now only 1921 enlisted men
short Of the authorized strength.
due to great improvement in re-
cruiting. During the past year
there has been an increase in the
actual strength of the army of 49,.
1853, making the present strength
4,116 officers and 68,512 enlisted
men, total of 72,62S. The mum.
Der of assertions from the army
fell off to as per cent of the whole
number Of enlisted men in the SER
vice during the fiscal year 1908, as
compared with Sc per cent the pre-.
ceding fiscal year.
The secretary recommends that
the general scheme of national de.
Tense shall provide a force of or.
ganized militia of approximately
$780, men. 100000 of these in
combination with the infantry, cav.
airy and field artillery of the regu.
lar army to constitute a field army
of 100000. 1t is estimated that
about $1,000 would be available at
present in case of an emergency.
