BIRTH OF A
 NEW ISLAND
Three Acres of Land Suddenly Appear at Southern Entrance
 of Gulf of Paria

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, Nov. T. A new island has appeared near the Serpent's Mouth, the southern en- trance to the Gulf of Paria, between the island of Trinidad and Venezuela Late on Saturday afternoon a strange upheavaI occurred in the sea a short distance off the little village of Chat ham. Huge columns of smoke were first observed. They were accompan- jed by a tremendous report and fol- lowed by flames which were visible for miles.
 The new island is about three acres in extent, and rises out of the water to a height of from to 10 feet. Be- fore the upheaval the depth of wa ter at this spot averaged about 20 feet. The Governor visited the scene on Sunday, but was unable to ap- proach the island very closely, be- cause the fire was still burning. It continued throughout the day, but at night it seemed to have burned itself out for only smoke arose. It was said yesterday that residents of the island
 ' The opinion is held there that the upheaval was caused by an explosion of oil under anticlinal strata. The island is composed mostly of mud and there is a distinct smell of oil to it. It is just off the oil producing district and close to the asphalt de- pOSitS

ASSASSINATION BY MANCHU
 SOLDIERS OF GOVERNOR WU CHEN
 ACCUSED OF TREASON TO THRONE

like him to save the dynasty are aE~ most certainly rendered hopelesa The general opinion here is that YuaD's own fate will be sealed If he trusts himself among the Manchus at Pekin, going there to accept the premiership, as the government is urging him to do.
 Yesterdays reports that the capital had fallen into the rebels' hands seem to have rested on the fact that sev- eral Manchu nobles, facing the loss Of their pensions and power, committed suicide. possibly by agreement among themselves. Rumors that the city had fallen were believed here yesteF- day, and occasioned the widest re5ose- ing among the revolutfonfsts. but to-
 days messages speak only of fhe sui- cides, emitting all reference to a8F
 governmental overturning.

 in the capital, however, the American

 Shanghai. Nov. 7-Governor Wu Lu Chen, of shan Si province, has been assassinated by Manchu soldiers, it is learned here today. The Manchus accused him of treason to the throne.
 The governor, was asleep in his tent at the encampment at Shikia Chuang when killed. Thirty Manchu troop ed into the tent and cut the governor to pieces. In the meantime, an alarm had been given, soldiers faithful to the governor surrounded the tent and the assassinS were caught to man, They protested that Wus professions of loyalty to the throne were false and that he was secretly urging a massacre of all Manchus. The entire 30 will be beheaded.
 Politically, Wu's assassination was a capital mistake for the Manchus in two ways. It will enrage the wob- blers and it deprives the throne of true supporters. Wu was a revolu- tionist up to the time of the issuance of the imperial edict granting the con- stitutional government to> China. Like Yuan Shi Kai, he favored the accept ance of these concessions, believing they obviated the necessity for the dynasty's overthrow.
 Hoping that he might win the Shan Si rebel leaders over to his views, the Emperor recently named him gover- nor of the province and he had prac- tically accomplished his mission when killed. By this assassination all the work that he had accomplished is un- done. The revolutionists are convinc- ed that no Manchu can be trusted, no matter what he may promise and the efforts of Yuan Shi Kai and others

PoIi's Has Good
 Bill For Patrons
ssDinklespiel's Christmas" The Three Keaton's, Ward Bros. and Jimmie Lucas Please Audiences

'DinkelspieIs Christmas" the fine sketch written by George V. Hobart, is leading the bill at Poli's this week. The act is brimming over with heart interest There is just the proper mixture of laughter and tears to please the audience. Bernard A. Rein old was particularly good as Dietrich Dfnkelspiel, the kind hearted old Ger man whose son brought home chorus girl bride. Katherine DeBarry as his wife was also excellent Osborn searIe, as the son Louis, Marian Chap man as the chorus girl bride and E.. T. DeVarny as Boulanger, the family friend, all did well.
 Those old favorites, the Three Kea- tons. are with us again. Buster has grown considerably since he was here last He has a strap fastened to his back now and his father throws him around the stage until you wonder that the youngster isn't candidate for the hospital. Jingles Keaton, who occupies the next rung in the family ladder, was also present and there IS still a younger member of the fam fly. Pretty soon there'n be enough for a Keaton baseball nine. The au- dience applauded the Keatons act with great vigor.
 Jimmie Lucas was given a fine re- ception by last nights crowd. His inn itations of various footlight celebrities were we'll received and his songs Maybe You Think I'm Happy" and christopher Columbo"' made hits. One of Jimmie's parodies was a trifle coarse for a family theatre.
 One of the biggest hands of the ev- ening went to the Ward Bros. They appear as English Johnnies and their work is exceptionally good. The song "Dixieland" and the one about scan- dal. in which they whisper the excit- ing details were well liked. The Ward Bros. are graceful dancers.
 You'll travel long distance before seeing better troupe of gymnasts than the Richardinis. My Brudda Sylyest' was never any stronger than these men. Their arms are big ger than the leg of the average man and the muscles stand out like whip cords. They perform many daring feats.
