BAPTIST TELLS OF ATTACK.

Matter Up With Italy.
Homo , July G. The Amerlcnn am
bassador , John 0. A. Letalimitn , has
brought to the attention of the prom-
ler nnd the foreign offices the situa
tion arising from icccnt attacks made
upon Baptist missionaries in the pro

At the time of the earthquake In
the district in June , P. Stewart of St.

can board of Baptist mission in Italy ,

n mob nnd were escorted qut of the
district by u detachment of soldiers.

ed to the district and another attack
was made on him and his companions.
Ho telegraphed a statement of the
affair to the Amerlcnn ambassador ,
who requested him to como to Home.
This Mr. Stewart did , and ho had a
long conference with Ambassador
Lcishman. To the ambassador ho re
ported the details of the occnrance.
Arriving nt the outskirts of the ell-
Ingo near the town of Avellino , Mr.
Stewart , accompanied by three other
missionaries , was met by the chief of
police , several constables and a dozen
Boldlera. A howling crowd of natives
quickly surrounded the carriage. So
demonstrative did they become that
It was only with difficulty they could
bo strained by fen o from the mission
aries. On nil sides nrose the cry
of "Down with the Baptists , " and n
shower of stones fell about the car
riage. Mr. Stewnrt was hit on the
chest , breast and leg , and one of the
police was slightly wounded. The be-
sciged missionaries were obliged to
remain in church the whole night.
Eventually Mr. Stewart succeeded in
i-ending the telegram tc the American
ambassador at Rome. The following
day n detachment of 400 soldiers were
sent to the village and the mission
aries were released from their dan
gerous position.
Both Premier Luzzninl nnd the for
eign minister , Marquis De Snn Giuli ,
hnve given assurances that measures
will be taken to stop such disturbances
nnd also that an investigation of the
entire matter will be made.

WANTED CINCH BETS.
Some "Sports" Wired Friends to Get
up Crooked Wagers.
Norfolk probably Is as quiet nnd ns
gloomy as Reno today. Many bets
were placed on the defeated Jeff and
the "I told you so" man is out telling
how ho had it all doped out Saturday
that Johnson was the winner , where
in reality he himself had bets on Jeff.
As n whole Norfolk is sorry over the
outcome of the fight , and the majority
of fight fans here seem to have no ill
feeling toward the black champion.
"It's too bad that Jeff lost the fight , "
says one fight fan , "but he had no busi
ness in the first place to fight the
negro. "
A local man who lost $26 on the
fight remarked to a friend , 'After Jeff
was defeated I went off and cried by
myself , not because I lost my money ,
but just because Jeff let that negro
whip him. "
"Jeff knew before he entered the
ring that he was going to be defeated , "
says another.
If anybody lost on the fight late
Monday afternoon it was his own fault.
Some out-of-town visitors who were
among the large audience in the Audi-
torlum , made hasty steps to the tele
graph office , whore they sent mes
sages to their friends advising them
of the result of the battle , telling them
to get up n bet if possible. Some of
this easy money probably found its
way into the hands of some of these
crooked sports.
Following were the results of the
