The refusal of some Of the men of
Co. M, I'd Infantry, N. G. s. M, to go
to the State range last Sunday to
participate in rifle practice has created
an element of discord in the ranks,
the extent of which, however. cannot
yet be stated. 1t is destined, in the
opinion of some of the members, to
make some changes in the company
and is very liable to cost somebody
their chevrons.
The matter came to a head Monday
evening when a summary court mar
tial was held in the company armory
at City hall, at which First Lieut..
Charles w. Savage presided, for the
purpose of Furnishing the men who re-
fused to participate in the rife prac-
tice on the day mentioned above.
Several Of the men were fined and
two who refused trial by the summary
court martial will have to appear be-
fore q general court martial to be
held at such time as the colonel of
the regiment may designate.
The men who refused to appear be-
fore the court martial last evening are
Quartermaster Sergeant Jesse b. Lew
is and Corporal Wallace Price. The
affair has created in the company a
stir of no small size and there is a
general interest on the part of the
members regarding the outcome of
this disobedience of orders.

Auto Fire Truck
Demonstration at
100 P. M, Today

Augusta people will have the op-
motor driven fire truck in operation
IN the city for the first time, and it
will be a spectacle worth seeing. c.
N. Sylvester and T. H. Wood, repre-
Senting o. F. Kress & Son of Law
renee, Mass, manufacturers of motor
driven fire apparatus, who are giving
demonstrations through Maine, will
make a run from the Cushnoc hose
house on Bridge street to the Angus
ia State hospital, in response to an
alarm from Box 46, the private box at
the hospital, which will be sent in at
100. The truck is a Kress-White COM
bination hose and.chemical, and in ad-
dition to 20 men carries 1900 feet of
hose, ladders, axes, door openers,
crowbars, fire extingufshers, a 40-gal-
Ion chemical tank and 200 feet of
chemical hose. 1t is driven by a 60
horsepower engine and is equipped
with a self-starting device, electric
lights and dual pneumatic tires. Chief
Buckley selected the State hospital
course as it is the longest and hardest
run in the city. 1t is probable also
that the truck will be driven up Win
throp hill and up that street as far
as the cemetery. Members of the city
council are invited to take the ride
and to be at the hose house before 100
Mr.. Sylvester is the selling agent Of

Is Missing
Five Bodies ReCOVered--A|l but
3 Of So Craft Safe

Caraquet, n. B., June S.-All but
three of the SO fishing vessels which
were caught in the storm off the north
coast Friday night, had returned safe
ly to port today. OF the three, two
were lost with their crews numbering
nine men. The third schooner is miss
ing.
The schooners lost, hail from this
port and went down off Liscau, sew
eral miles east of here. One was COM
manded by Joseph Cariault and with
him were his two sons, John and Ar
thur. and a neighbor, John Dugas. The
master of the other was r. S. Albert
who had as a crew his two sons, Lar
Gin and John, his father and Oliver
Paulin. The bodies of five men were
recovered
The fleet of fishing vessels on the
north shore of the province was bad
ly crippled in the storm that swept
the coast Friday night.
Several of the more sturdy craft
survived and their crews rescued many
men from the vessels wrecked. The
fleet was so widely scattered that 1t
was impossible to save all of the fish
ermen. Nine are known to have been
drowned. OF these eight belonged here
and one at st. Simons. Five bodies
were buried here today.

CORAL SURFACE COVERS SEA.
Wonderful Composition of Strip OF
Sea Coast That is Part of Yucatan.

That part of Yucatan known as
Ouintana Root, belongs to Mexico, anu
II is doubtful if anywhere in the world
is to be found such a strange and won
derful region. Having coast line Oh
900 miles and an area of $4,000 square
miles, it was once occupied by race
of people having a high state OF CIVIL
cation. as is evidenced by the ruins
thew left behind them. Owing to the
fact that a savage race known as the
Mayas still hold the interior almost all
commercial. mining and other trades
are necessarily confined TO narrow
strip of the cost, which Is composed
almost wholly of coral. 1t is this strip
which has been termed the "petrineo
sea-" for almost anywhere hole can
be dug and salt water struck. In TACT
this coral surface of the coast country
is nothing but the roof OF a glgantlc
cavern in which there are subterran-
can waters. Through these holes cat
fish without eyes can be caught. Thls
water is impregnated with copper and
cannot be used even in steam poliers.'
The lack of soil on the surface of this
coral prevents the raising or Vegeta-
bles and the lack of these foods, owing
to their high cost, is responsible for
the many sicknesses and fevers to
which the inhabitants are prone. The
cost of living is extremely high in con-
sequence. Ice brings as high as 70
cents a pound and other things are In
proportion. Bacalar, military town.
having a population of a bare 500. was
once 10000, but in 1850 the entire city
was wiped out by the savage Mayas.
About 100000 worth of dyewoods,
chicle, cedar and mahogany, is
brought out of this country every year
by American companies and railroad
runs go miles, but no one has as yet
dared to penetrate the interior, where
the Mayas still hold sway. The climate
is hot and tropical and the frequent
rains supply the only drinking water.
Fruits are abundant in the interior,
and the hunting is good and many
deer hides are shipped as well as some
copper and sponges. Coal and OIL
abound, and the fact that the interior
is full of copper is evident in the fact
that the Rio Azul carries six per cent.
of copper in solution, even in the dry
season, and deposits crystals of IT
along it's course, giving to the stream
it's name, River of Blue. When the
Spaniards made their first visit to the
country in the 18th century, they
found the natives using implements OF
copper
