DESTROYER BADLY
DAMAGED ON REEF
The Paul Jones Struck Rocks
on Alaskan Coast, but Was
Later Released. .

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 5.-A cable
gram from Skagway, Alaska, Jays the
accident to the torpedo boat destroyer
Paul Jones, which went on the rocks,
occurred when the vessel was carried
out of her course by the tidal currents
ir Peril Straits, thirty-f1ve miles north
of Sitka, early yesterday. !
The destroyer, which is in command
of Lieutenant M. S. Davis, was going
at three-quarters speed when she struck
the rocks. The boat ran high out of
the water and nearly turned turtle.
Men were thrown from their nam
mocks and were badly bruised by their
fall.
Two holes were broken in the star
Loard bow and the propeller shaft was
badly bent. The boat vas hung up on
the reef for a short time, but the rising
tide lifted her off. The pumps were
kept going constantly to keep her
afioat, and by the use of collision mats
she was able to limp into Skagway
several hours behind her consort.
After making temporary repairs the
Paul Jones left her last night with the
other boat of the fotilla for Juneau.

TO SUE NEW YORK
IN SEWER FIGHT

Acting on the report Of Edlow w.
Harrison, its engineer. the Passaiv Vol
ley Sewer Commission Yesterday made
application 10 George w. Wickersham,
attorney-general of the United States,
10 take action against Greater New
York to compel that city to improve
its present methods of sewerage dis
posal. Mention was made of the viola
ions bv New York of a Federal law
governing such conditions, it being
stated that there is now due more than
$685. 900, 900 in fines, as result of such.
This move is the result of an investi-
cation made by Mr.. Harrison, ordere |
after New York started proceedings to
enjoin New Jersey from emptying its
purified sewage into the bay, and
brought to light a lo~ng-standing
petition in the chief executives offlcs E
for action to compel New York to
change its disposal methods. This
petition was filed after the Metropolitan
Sewerage Commission made its report
recommending that no further sewer
work be done without taking into con
sideration the early need for disposal
of wash matter. Numerous plans were
presented and considered. but no action,
however, was taken on the recomm en-
dation.

FIRE ATTACKS FREIGHT
CAR FILLED WITH OIL.
Quick Work Averts Danger.
Brakeman Slightly Injured.

The Millburn firemen were called out
early today by a fire in one of the
freight cars in the Millburn freight
yards. The blaze. which started in a
peculiar manner, was soon extinguished.
The car was loaded with barrels of oil
and cans containing gasoline and oils
consigned to different points along the
line, BY the humping of the cars one
of the cans was knocked down and
the contents were spilled, soaking
through the car floor and onto the
tracks.
When the engine backed into the
yard to take the cars out, one of the
brakemen started to couple the air
brake of this car. and sat his lantern
on the ground underneath. The gasoline
ignited n in a flash the car was in
flames.
The brakeman's eyebrows, whiskers
and nearly all his hair were singed, but
he escaped serious burns. The car and
its contents were not much damaged,
quick work preventing an explosion.

RIFF TRIBES NOW BEGIN
PICTURESQUE HOLY WAR,
Expect to Drive Spaniards Out

MELILLA. Morocco, Aug. 5.-The
Moors who yesterday attacked a Span

Spaniards to retire until the arrival of
achievements. The S%paniards then
advanced and drove the enemy back.
ALHUCEMAS, Morocco, Aug. 5.-The
Riffs are preaching 4 holy war against
Spain, and a picturesque feature of
their arguments is 4 revival of the old
legend, according to which the Riff
Arabs who are descendants of the
Moors driven out of Spain by Isabella
and Ferdinand are destined to clear the
Spaniards out of Africa, cross Spain
and reconquer the country over which
Boabdil, the last King of Grenada,
ruled.
CEBERE. France, Aug. 5.-It is re-
ported here today that a general strike
is likely to break out in Spain, owing
to the refusal of the authorities to per-

lease of the men confined in the fort
resses since the rioting at Barcelona

the disposition has been to look on
Diaz as a benefcent despot. The alb
solutism of his sway has been shown
recently in the manner in which he sup
ressed the candidacy Of the powerful
General Bernardo Reyes for the vice
presidency. It can readily be believed
that in an administration as unchecked
as his. he may have at times over
stepped the bounds. but Mr.. Turner will
have to produce strongly fortified evil

believe his course has been as repre-
hensible as it is represented. The fact
that Mexico has grown to he a strong

DR.. King described the location Of the
Forrest house. in which Mrs. Forrest
was killed, and the circumstances con-

said he found blood. hair and human
flesh all over the corn and on the floor.
He also told of the location Of the diff

showed that IL would have been inn
possible for Mrs. Forrest to have met

Gray on the witness stand was contra
