in tho harbor of Gonalves and tho
commander of the German gunboat In
formed Admiral Kllllck on Crete-a-Plcrrot
that ho must remove his crew
and surrender his vessel In five min
utes. Admiral Kllllck asked that this
time bo extended to fifteen minutes.
Tho request was granted on the con
dition that tho arms and ammunition
on board Creto-a-Pierrot should be
abandoned when Its crew left it. Tho
crew of Crete-a-Plerrot left that ves
sel amid great disorder. At tho end
of fifteen minutes Panther sent a small
boot carrying an officer and twenty
sailors, who were to take possession
of the Firmlnlst gunboat.
When these men arrived at a point

German embassy was seen In relation
to tho sinking of the gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot
by tho German gungoat
Panther. He said that he had not
heard of tho Incident until Informed
of it by the Associated Press and for
this reason he was not prepared to
make any statement. He did say,
however; "I have given tho matter
little thought, as It la entirely out
side of this country and for that rea
son I do not expect to receive any
Civics concerning It from my gov
ernment. While I do not care to make
any prediction as to tho outcome, I feel
quite sure and safe In saying that no
international complications will arise
with this country. This is all I care
to say In regard to the affair."
MOROS STILL SHOW FIGHT.
In Manila Trouble is Expected in the
Near Future.
MANILA, Sept 8. Captain J. J,
Fereshing, who is In command of the
American force at Camp Vicars, Min
danao, reports to General Chaffee that
several of tho Moro chiefs, whoso
forces have attacked Americans, have
rejected all fciendly. overtures and
that ho has been unable to reach any
understanding with them.
The breaking of negotiations with
tho Moros will probably bring on a
crlBis in the Moro situation.
It is believed in Manila that a re
newal of Moro attacks will result In
retaliation by tho American forces.
The military record shows that since
the Bayan fight last May. the Moros
have made twelve attacks on Amer
ican soldiers, killing four Americans
and wounding twelve, Including ono
officer.

STRONG POLICY IS PUR8UED.
Vigorous Measures Adopted by Com
mander McCrea.
WASHINGTON, Sopt 8. Tho navy
department has received from Com
mander McCrea of Machias a mall re
port, under date of Capo Hayllen,
August 16, setting out In detail tho
steps taken by that official to prevent
interference with the world's com
merce as a result of tho bitter Insur
rectionary struggle now in progress in
Hnytlen waters.
Commander McCrea was, from the
nature of the case, obliged to move
without . opportunity to consult tho
state or navy departments, but It is
stated that his vigorous measures aro
thoroughly approved. It appears from
the commander's report that ho took
under his charge the commerce ot
nearly all the European countries, In
addition to that of his own.
His attltudo toward Admiral Kllllck,
the Insurgent commander, as revealed
In the report, is significant, as indicat
ing tho adoption of a stronger policy
than has been pursued heretofore in
the treatment of South and Central
American revolutions, which injuri
ously affect the commerce of tho
world.

FEAR TIDAL WAVE
MARTINIQUE APPEAR8 DOOMED
TO DESTRUCTION.
IT MAY BE TOTALLY DESTROYED
That la Now What Is Apprehended of
the Island Volcano Crater Is En
larging with Each Recurring Erup
tion. POINT-A-PITRE, Guadaloupo, Sept
6. It Is generally believed that the
Island of Martinique Is doomed to
total destruction and the fear is that
when tho catastropho comes Guada
loupo will bo visited by an all-destructive
tidal wave.
Business Is absolutely at a stand
still. Few shops aro open and If It
wero not for the efforts ot a small
number ot moro valiant souls hun
dreds would starve to death hero bo
causo of their fear of a moro terrlblo
death.
Details that have beon received dur
ing tho last two days prove that tho
eruption of Mont Pclco ot August 30
was far moro violent than any of the
earlier explosions. As tho eruptions
continue tho mouth of Mont Poleo
grows In size. It Is now ot enormous
proportions. Morno Lncrolx, ono of tho
peaks that reared skyward from the
side of Pelee, ha3 fallen bodily Into
tho crater and has been completely
Bwallowed. There seems to be a side
pressure in tho crater and the burning
chasm widens perceptibly every day.
Clouds no more hang about the
crest of Mont Pelee. Tho terrific heat
seems to drive everything away. Tho
column of flame and smoko rears di
rectly into tho heavens, so that Its
top Is lost to Bight In the darkness
ot tho night It has the appearanco of
a stream of molten Iron, standing
fixed between heaven and earth, From
Morne Capote tho relief troops wero
compelled to mako a quick retreat,
although they succeeded In taking out
a few wounded.
Tho entire country nearly to Fort
de France, 1b burled under a deep
cover of ashes. This has made It al
most Impossible to find the bodies ot
those who have perished while fleeing
to tho seacoast.
Constantino Carra, one of tho few
who succeeded in escaping from Morne
Rouge after the explosion, found
refuge on the steamer Esk. She was
with twelve others In her house when
Pelee gavo Its first warning of tho
dlsastor which it was about to pour
upon tho village. She said that the
first explosion destroyed many houses.
She was hurled with great force
against the wall of tho room in which
she was sitting. On recovering from
the shock sho ran outside and thero
saw three separate tongues ot fire
sweeping down from tho mouth of tho
volcano.
The earth shook with so great vio
lence that she could not retain her
feet She was blinded by tho glare of
the flames. The heat was so terrific
that her flesh was blistered. Sho
awaited death which sho believed to be
inevitable. Fortunately the fires swept
a little to one sldo of her and she was
saved.

Senator Piatt said: "I saw Senator
Quay a little whllo last night and dis

Investigation Into the Accident fo tho
President's Party.
PITTSFIHLD, Mass., Sopt 5. With
tho excitement which followed tho ac
cident to President Roosevelt In this
city In a great measure abated tho
citizens wero discussing tho question
of rosponBlblltty for tho occurronco,
which on all Bides Is considered as
having marred tho city's famo, in
(hat a street car in disputing tho right
of way with tho president of tho
United States, at least, was cxtroraoly
discourteous.
That tho attempt to do thts result
ed In a fatality and In tho vory nar
row escape from death or Injury to
tho president himself and to tho gov
ernor of tho commonwealth aro con
sidered as only adding to tho gravity
of tho offense.
It is argued also that tho Plttsflcld
Street Railway company should not
havo disregarded tho request of tho
mayor that no cars should havo been
run whllo tho president was In tho
city. It Is sold tho city govornment
takes this view of the caso. At any

MADE A CLEAN SWEEP.
Cnohlor Chamberlain Took Everything
In Sight When Ho Fled.
TECUMSEH, Neb., Sept. 8. Poor
judgment, recklessness In tho Invest
ment of funds, then dissipation nnd
finally embezzlement and disappear
ance, all on the part of the trusted
cashier and solo manager, Charles M.
Chamberlain, wero tho combined
causes of tho financial wreck of tho
Chamborlaln banking house ot this
city. A few days ago this was sup
posedly one ot tho strongest institu
tions In the community. Tho people
generally thought Chamberlain was
square and thoy gavo him their confi
dence and their money, and both wero
manipulated by tho shrewd banker la
a maimer which shows now that ho
was a master in tho art of deception.
It Ib impossible for thoso now in
chargo of tho bank to estimate safely
what percentage of tho deposits will bo
paid. From all that has been learned
thus far, however, It would bo con
servative to say that tho bank will
not pay over 50 per cent The divi
dends may amount to a trlflo moro
than that, but will probably bo much
less.
Today tho Chamberlain banking
houso stands about as docs a building
which has beon gutted by fire. Tho
walls remain 'and hero and thero a
pillar or somo part ot tho structuro
Is found Intact, but the greater part
of tho Interior 1b literally cleaned out
Tho value of the mass of notes left
In tho bank, showing 80,000 on their
face, is problematical. In tho plla aro
securities that aro long . past duo,
some that havo been paid off and many
that aro worthless.
Comparatively little Is known by the
people of Tccumsoh regarding tho ac
tual condition of tho bank. They
know that tho institution Is closed
and that Cashier Chamberlain has dis
appeared, but as to tho Btato of tho
funds, they aro almost as far In tho
dark as they wero before the failure.
