Agreement Reported Between South
American Republic and Allies.

Buenos Ayres, March 5.-The
Argentine press is filled with rumors
and reports of a commercial agree
ment between Argentine and the al
lies involving virtual adhesion BY
Argentine to the allied cause. The
reports are still vague and uncontirm
ed, but even in quarters close to The
government the possibility Of Argen-
tines formal entrance into the war
on the allied side in the near future
is not denied.
The election Sunday was orderly
and enthusiastic everywhere. In The
capital the contest was mainly be-
tween the Radicals and Socialists.
The result is still uncertain, though
indications pointed to a victory Tor
the Radicals. Complete figures from
the provinces will not be in for a

GERMANS TORPEDO
HOSPITAL STEAMER
ONE OF THE MOST NARROWING
DISASTERS IN HISTORY OF
SUBMARINE WARFARE.
Homeward Bound Steamer Attacked
BY Hun u-Boat, 1870 Helpless
Patients Being Sent to Their
Death When Ship Went Down.

A British Port.-The torpedoing
early Monday morning of the British
ship Warilda was one of the most har-
rowing disasters in the history of sub
marine warfare. The number of dead
is variously estimated from 105 to 100
and upward, and includes several
women nurses.
The ship carried 600 sick and
wounded. Among them were seven
Americans, two officers and five en-
listed men, all of whom have been ac-
counted for.
There were aboard SO nurses and
members of the voluntary aid depart
ment, and the crew comprised about
200 men
More than $50 survivors, brought
here shortly after 6 o'clock, were
given first-aid treatment, food and
clothing. The patients were placed
aboard special trains and sent to hos
pitfalls.
The torpedo struck the after part of
the engine room, killing the third en-
gineer and two other members of the
engine room force. The dynamo was
destroyed, plunging the vessel into
darkness.
Just over the dynamo was the ward
room, which contained more than 100
patients. Most of these wen killed
outright by the explosion, and the
others, many of whom had been fresh
ly injured by the torpedo, found them
selves trapped. 1t was impossible for
outside aid to reach them, and all ex-
cept few who jumped overheard and
were picked up, persisted. This part of
the ship quickly settled and water
flooded the wardroom. drowning the
men Gagged there.
Stories of the fearful struggle in
the darkness to rescue helpless in
valids are told by survivors. The ship
remained atloat more than two hours,
but for a great part of the time con-
tinued under Roadway, because the en-
gines could not be stopped. This con-
dition greatly hampered the rescue
work, and in addition three or four
boats were smashed while being low
cred, throwing the occupants into the
sea.

HOW SHE REMEMBERED HIM
"Such Friendly Face" Said Woman
Of Man Whose Name She Had
Temporarily Forgotten.

1t Is something to carry ones COM
mendation in ones face, as the poet
Coventry Patmore would have it.
At the Eurydice concert a few eve
nings ago a woman was attempting to
describe to her neighbor man whose
personality had impressed her, though
she had forgotten his name.
"You must know whom I mean," she
said. "That man with beard, who
has such friendly look"
"Oh, you'mean George Burnham, Jr,"
said the other.
Eyes, that's the mani"
"Such a friendly lookl" Could one
desire a more endearing description?
Which reminds me that when Hor-
ace Greenwood and Mr.. Burnham
first met they were somewhat in
audibly introduced. (Why are intro
auctions usually inaudlbleO
81 didn't quite catch the name," said
Mr.. Burnham.
"Mr. Greenwood" repeated the in
terlocutor.
"To be sure" exclaimed Mr.. Burn
ham apologetically. 81 knew 1t was

"And I must confess that I didn't
catch your name, either" said Mr..
Greenwood.
"Burnham-George Burnham."

RESENTED TRIBUTE TO DEFY
ample That Was Followed by All
Christian Nations.

The first treaty with Algiers, which
was negotiated during Washington's
administration cost the United States,
for the ransom of American captives,
81 100000, in addition to which an an
nuity was promised. In 1900 Presi-
dent Adams claimed that the United
States had to pay three times the trib-
mark.
But this temporlzing policy only
made matters worse. Captain Balm
bridge arrived in Algiers, bearing the
annual tribute for the dey in ma
tional frigate, and the dey ordered
him to proceed to Constantinople to
deliver Algerian dispatches. English,
French and Spanish ships of war have
done the same thing" said the dey In
solently, when cambridge and the
American consul demonstrated. "You
pay me tribute because you are my
slaves" replied the dey, who was play
ing the role assumed in later years by
the kaiser. Jefferson had expressed
his detestation of the method hitherto
favored for pacifying these pests Oh
commerce; and, availing himself of the
present opportunity, he sent ou' Com
modore Dale with squadron of three
frigates and sloop of war to make
naval demonstration on the Barbary
coast. The Barbary powers were TOT
time overawed, and the Uniteu
States thus set the first example
among the Christian nations OF
making reprisals instead of ransom
the rule of security against these ma,
RAIDERS. Tripoli declared war against
the United States June TO- 1901.
