The Sardinia was bound out to Alexan-
dria. She was about a mile off shore
when the fire was first discovered The
first indication of the blaze was smoke
that issued from the cargo hold.
All the members of the crew were sum-
moned by the ringing OF the fire gongs.
They had just gone below decks to fight
the flames when there was a roar
The forward hatch was blown high in
the air as if by force of explosion.
Through the hatchway came a great
sheet of fire and a cloud of smoke
Passengers in Panic.
Instantly the passengers were in a
panic. All of them rushed to the stern
of the boat in helpless confusion, for
members of the crew, who might ordinar-
lily have preserved order. were below
There was strong wind blowing. This
swept the flames from the forward part
of the steamship back where the pas
sengers sought a refuge.
Men, women and children were piled to-
gether in one mass as the flames rushed
back and scorched them. In their ter
ror many jumped into the sea
The officers of the Sardinia in the

Word of the disaster was soon received
at Malta, and admiralty tugs were sent
down to the assistance of the Sardinia
When the tugs got to the steamship the
vessel was still blazing. and efforts to eX-
tinguish the flames were unaveiling.

J. y. Leger, Haitian minister. received
a long cablesram from the President OF
Haiti, indicating that he will attempt
to stamp out the revolution in that island
without bloodshed. In the cablegram the
president gives as the direct cause for
the revolution that Gen. Simon threat
ened the life of the administrator of
the interior which brought about his
dismissal.
Al present it is stated. the government
troops are at Aquin, bearing down upon
Simon. who is now reported to be iso-

country people to support his cause by
promising them rewards to come from

THE UNITED
OIL COMPANY
DOING we'll


as prosperous condition now as at
any time in the history of its oper-
ations, and as much crude oil is
being run through its stills now as
+at any time in the past twenty
years. The company is crowding
through 1000 barrels daily and
expects to keep it up for the next
week or ten days, or until most of
the surplus oil stored away in the
tanks is worked off For several
months the company has had a
vast quantity Of Bolder and local
crude oil stored in tanks in the
refinery yard, and as there is a
good demand for the oil at present,
the company Is running through
as much of it as the stills will
stand. 1t is expected that within
the next week at the earliest, or
ten days at the latest, the surplus
oil will be treated and then the
refinery will again settle down to
the regular run, which is about 600
barrels a day.
The production of the field at
this time-that is, counting what
the United and the Independent
companies selling their product to
it, is concerned amounts to about
800 barrels day, which is not a
small production by any means
This does not include the daily
production of the Florence Oil
company, which is no small thing.
Since DR.. Knoch has taken
charge of the refining plant, he
has discontinued the practice of
consuming from forty eight to sew
enty hours to run oil through the
stills, and is now running it
through in from eighteen to twenty
hours. He says it is not neces-
sary to run the oil through so long.
By using less time for the still
work, more oil can be put through
the stills each day.
The company is this week ship
ping two cars of finished wax to
the East, and is also shipping out
two carloads of lubricating or en-
gine oil. Since the company fin
ished its wax plant, it has been
shipping on an average of from
two and one-half to three cars of
finished wax per month. Each
car is loaded with 10000 pounds
of wax and the monthly shipments
aggregate about 100000 pounds.
Eight carloads of engine oil were
shipped out in February. Here
tofore the oils used in the manu-
facture of the oil and wax
burned in the boilers as fuel, but
since the discovery was made that
they contained ingredients which
could be used in the manufacture
of valuable oils and wax, the prac-
tice of burning the oils was dis
continued and the company equip
ped the power houses with stokers
and began burning slack. Now,
the oils are treated and the wax
and finer grades of oils are extract
ed and sold at fancy prices.
