FEW Of INDIAN
TRIBE ARE
ALIVE
Rr Assoc1Arrp PRESS.

Philadelphia, April 20.-Nine sur
vivors of once populous tribe of In
dams hitherto unknown to white men
have been found by DR.. William c.
Farabee, leader of the University
Museums Amazon expedition. A let
ter from DIR. Farabee, dated March
16, telling of this and other discov-
cries, was made public today.
An epidemic Of grip, DR.. Farabee
believes, was responsible for the
tribes destruction. The Indians were
the Pikpitanges, name heretofore
unknown to ethn2lcgy. No one could
be found to speak their language, but
DR.. Farabee succeeded in making a
vocabulary of ITO words, which he
will study in the hope of finding out
to what general branch of the Indians
this remnant belongs.
The survivors are chief, six wo-
men and two boys. They were found
in utter restitution.
Another discovery was the rem
nants of an uncatalogued tribe of In
dians on the Amazon. The upper
reaches of the Maraca river, DIR.
Farabee reported there once lived a
tribe with the peculiar characteristic
of burying their dead in urns of pot
terry, made to receive the bodies in a
sitting posture. Poor people, he re-
ports, had plain urns, but the richer
were buried in urns to resemble an
effort to resemble a portrature of the
face, something after the manner of
the Egyptians.

TUG MARIE RETURNS
T0PORT, FOLLOWING
4 BOILER ACCIDENT
PENSACOLA STEAMER WHICH
STARTED OUT FOR NEW HOME
PORT IN CUBA, PUT BACK YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

After drifting helplessly for about
twenty-six hours, finally managing to
reach port with the aid of jury sail
and a patched-up boiler, the tug Ma
RE, which, with a Pensacola crew
aboard, left for Caibarien, Cuba, on
Tuesday night, limped back into port
yesterday afternoon, and slowly
steamed up to a wharf N the slip be-
tween Palafox and Baylen wharves.
A tube had been blown out OF the
boiler after the steamer had reached
point off Cape San Bias, and within
a few minutes practically ali the
steam had exhausted itself, and the
Marie drifted about at the mercy of
the elements.
The accident occurred about 7:3o
o'clock in the morning, and plans were
set afoot at once to repair the dam
age, to enable the tug to make port.
The steamer drifted helplessly for
twenty-six hours, according to stories
which were told upon the arrival of
the Marie yesterday, and finally a
plug was made, which was fitted tenn
porarily, and was sufficient to enable
the vessel to carry about fifty pounds
of steam. Under that pressure the
plug held good, but progress was
slow, the propeller scarcely turning
over rapidly enough to keep the Marie
going fast enough to steer perfectly

Several times during the war there
have been reports that Russia was

that detachments had been seen en-
route through Scotland and England.
No such troops have ever appeared on
the western battle line, however.
GERMANS ALSO MASS1NG.
Coincidental with the arrival of the
Russians comes a statement from
Paris that the Germans are with
drawing large forces from their fronts
in Russia, Serbia and Macedonia to
mass them at Verdun. Here near
Deadman's Hill the French have driv-
