PASSENGERS AID SAVES SHIP
Women and Men Fight Blaze Nine
Hours on Carthaginian

Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-The steam
ship Carthaginian of the Allen Line
arrived in port today with thrilling
story of fighting fire at sea while the
waves rolled high and the wind blew
sixty miles an hour. For nine hours
the two women and twenty-four men
who were the passengers assisted the
crew in fighting the flames, while the
wireless operator sent IS. o. s." calls
in every direction. Three liners hur-
ried to the assistance OF the burning
steamship, but, after running under
draught for miles, were told the fire
was under control and the Carthage
nian would proceed under her own
steam for st. Johns. There the pas
sengers disembarked.
The Carthaginian left Glasgow on
Dec. 26, stopping at Liverpool, and
leaving there on the 2Sth Almost i'm
mediately heavy weather was encoun-
tered. 1t kept Capt. McKillop on the
bridge almost continuously.
Five hundred miles due east of st
Johns it was discovered the cargo
was afire. For several hours news of
the blaze was kept from the passen-
gers Then Capt McKillop called
them together and informed them
they would have to aid the crew in
fighting the flames below decks. The
two hearty Scotchwomen said they
would take their stand with the men.
For nine hours they either worked
with the bucket brigade or helped to
hold the nozzle of the hose.
Time and again Capt. McKillop
thought he would have to abandon
the vessel, only TO look at the big
seas and realize 1t apparently was a
question of death by water or by fire.
No small boat could live in such
waves.
When the fire had lasted nine hours
the hold was flooded and the Cartha.
ginian was deep in the water, but
soon afterward the blaze was extiL
guished. In the meantime, speeding
toward the vessel were the Numidan
of the Allan Line, the Uranium of the
| Uranium Line, which subsequently
went ashore, and the steamship He'll
| goland. Not until the Carthaginian
was certainly out of danger did Capt
McKillop tell the rescuing steam
ships they might lay their respective
courses again.

NATURE OF CUBAN NEGROES
Have Considerable Self-Reliance and
Initiative

Have Considerable Self-Reliance and
Initiative
From 100000 to 1000 600 negroes
were imported into Cuba from 1917
to 1850, either legally or as contra
band. Let us give a hasty review of
the history of these negroes, who con
stitute today a third of the popula-
ton in Cuba, incidentally touching
upon some of the characteristics
which differintiate them from their
brothers in the United States. Recon.
events indicate that they are to be
reckoned with in the adjustments and
changes of the days to come.
Columbus found the Siboneys in
Cuba-the original race, less wariike
than the fierce Caribs found in
Hispanola and the Windward isles.
This mild race. oppressed and ill.,
treated, soon dwindled. Diego Velas-
quez and his successors treated them
with great cruelty. In spite OF the
efforts OF Padre Las Casas on their
behalf, by 1920 their numbers were
so reduced that the planters and
mine owners petitioned the king to
permit the importation OF African
slaves to take the places of the dead
natives. One reason given for desir-
ing them was that one negro was
worth more for work on the planta-
tons than five Indians.
The further importation Of African
slaves was prohibited in 1917 by Gen.
Cienfuegos, also by royal decree in
1920 by virtue OF the treaty Of Wen.
ma, September "a. 1917. by which
Spain promised to abolish the traffic
for a consideration OF e4OO, 900 ster.
ling paid by England. This blood
money" was used to reimburse the
captains and shop-owners engaged in
the traffic. But in spite Of pledges
and pay received, Spain continued
