The disguise for an Oriental is one of
the most remarkable the police have ever
run across and the actions as we'll as
the appearance OF the prisoner puzzled
the central office men who made the ar
rest.
The prisoner made no response when
addressed in English. To an interpreter
he said that he had recently arrived in
this city from Mexico by steamer and
said that his color was due to coal dust.
1t had gathered on his skin, he said
when he shoveled in the sto1ehole.
His story was not credited by the po-
lice, who were satisfied that the mans
color was due TO burnt cork They noted
also that his hair was cut American
fashion, and that he picked up news
paper in the station and appeared to be
able to read English A number of China
town leaders were questioned by the po-
lice regarding the stranger but all pro-
fessed ignorance as to his identity.

Details of Accident Are
Sent to WaShinQtOn

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A report to
the war department says eight men
were killed, two fatally injured and
three others slightly injured today at
the beginning Of the coast artillery bat
tie practice at Fort Monroe, Va. News
of this fatal outcome was sent to Acting
Secretary OF War Olivar by Gen. w. H.
Carter, assistant chief of staff, who was
at the fort with a number Of army and
navy oficers from Washington to view
the battle practice with the big guns Of
the fort.
General Carriers telegram to General
Olivar was as follows:
Regret to report accident at COM
mencement OF students-officers battle
practice. Explosion OF two 12-inch
guns, probably premature, resulted in
the death of eight men. Two others
were fatally injured. Lieutenant Van
Duzen had a leg broken and three addi-
tional men were slightly injured. In
vestigation is being made and report
will be submitted through regular chan
nels."
In the battle practice the shore bat
teries fired upon a feet of targets towed
up Hampton Roads. about 4 miles off
shore. In such a manner as to be COM
parable to moving battleships.
According to plans of officers of the
coast inc IcSlS WCNc "
be conducted on a larger scale than had
ever been attempted anywhere. 1t was
planned to have FIVE batteries OF 10 and
12-inch guns concentrate their fire on
the target fleet and demolish It as quick
ly as possible.
Thirty officers, who have recently
been graduated from the artillery school
at Fortress Monroe, were to be in
charge Of the tests.
LOCATION OF BATTERY.
De Russy battery, where the explosion
took place, was located in about the
middle of the fort, and was equipped
with three 12-inch disappearing rifles 1t
was named after Brigadier General G. A.
de Russy, who served with distinction
in the civil war, aLs died in 1891.
The battery was manned by the en-
tire enlisted strength OF the seth COM
pany. which has about los men. distribut-
ed among the three rifles. About 20 men
were in each firing squad and were sta
toned upon the implacement of the
azines.
Which OF the three guns exploded was
not reported. but officers OF the coast
artillery here say that the heavy death
list indicated that the explosion took
place after the gun had disappeared. and
was in a reclining position in the pit
They point out that had It exploded
while the gun was up, the damage would
have been comparatively slight. Explo-
sions Of the latter character have oc-
CURED before in the coast artillery, but
never with such disastrous results.
