day after a very successful term. The
instruction of the rising generation re-
ceived especial attention under the ef-
ficient direction of the teachers, who
are greatly interested in school work,
and an unusual interest was manifest-
ed by the pupils, as well. Those who
tock the eighth grade ‘examination

PANIC FOLLOWS
PAPLLSION OW STEAMER
Wild Scenes —— Among Nine ‘Hun-
dred Passengers on Ship.
FIRE ADDS TO HORROR
Men Right With Women in Mad Rush
for Life Boats—One Child
Loses Its Life.
Dover, England—A terrific explosion
occurred on the morning of April 7
on the British steamer Cairnrona off
Gungeness, which wrecked the wom:
en’s quarters, killing one child and in-
juring a number of women and chil
dren. The steamer caught fire and a
panic ensued in which men fought for
the possession of the boats and had
to be beaten back by the crew to allow
the women to be taken off first. In all
20 were seriously injured and not less
than 50 were slightly injured by the
explosion and in the panic that follow-
ed it.
The Cairnrona sailed from London
for Portland, Me. She carried 900 pas-
[sengers, for the most part emigrants
and a general cargo. By great good
luck the steamers Upland and Kana-
wha were close at hand when the
Cairnrona caught fire. They stood by
and took off several hundred passen-
gers and landed them here.
Little One Is Killed.
~ Several of the first-class passengers
and American cattlemen gave thrilling
details of the accident. A number of
women with children in their arms
were sitting on.a hatch when suddenly
a violent explosion hurled them to all
parts of the deck. Some of them were
shockingly injured and one child was
tilled, The hatch was blown to frag-
| the most important cases.
SPANISH WAR CLAIMS CUT
Cammission Finishes. Its Work and
Makes Awards of Over
$1,000,000.
Washington, D. C.—The work of the
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission,
which body for more than nine years
has been engaged in adjudicating the
claims of American citizens growing
out of the Spanish War, is now about
completed. All the cases have: been
disposed of and the commissioners
are now engaged in preparing their
final report and writing qpinions in
The ex-
tent of their work is shown by the
fact that the claims filed before the
commission aggregated .$61,612,077.78
and the awards amounted to $1,330,
877.74. :
The treaty hetween the United
States and Spain, dated December 10,
1898, or sometimes called the Treaty
of Paris, provided that Spain should
relinquish all claims of sovereignty
over the title of Cuba, and ceded to
the United States the Island of Puer-
to Rico and other islands under Span:
ish sovereignty in the West Indies,
and the Island of Guam. Spain also
ceded to the United States the Philip
pine Islands for a consideration of
$20,000,000. In article seven of the
treaty the United States and Spain
mutually relinquished all claims for
indemnity, national and individual, of
every kind, of their government or of
its citizens or subjects, against the
other government of the late insur-
rection in Cuba and prior to the ex-
vhange of ratifications of the present.
treaty, including all claims for indem-
nity for the cost of the war. The
United States agreed to adjudicate
and settle the claims of its citizens
against Spain, reliquished in this ar
ticle.
Created a Commission.
In accordance with the terms of the
treaty Congress in 1901 passed an act’
creating the Spanish Treaty Claims
Commission, defining its powers. Pres-
ident McKinley accordingly, in March,
1901, appointed the following as mem-
i | bers of the commission: iii
grants, mostly Russians, running up
and down, screaming and wringing
their hands, Their terror was increas-
ed by the smoke which poured from
the burning hold. The captain and of-
‘ficers made ineffectual efforts to calm
them, and then signals of distress
were sent up. In the meantime anoth-
er explosion occurred in the engine
room, injuring several of the engi-
neers. The Kanawha and Upland
steamed up quickly, and the captain
decided to transfer all the passengers.
This was accompanied by scandalous
scenes, Scores of men tried to rush
the boats and many of them fought
with the women, tearing and dragging
them aside and even trampling them
under foot.
The crew battled valiantly against
the panicstricken emigrants, using
fists and feet and any weapon they
could find. Not a few of the frantic
mob of men were felled to the deck
before the hysterical, fainting women
and children could be gotten into the
boats. In the stempede four persons
fell or were pushed into the sea and
were rescued with difficulty!
Royalty Goes ta Aid.
The Kanawha and Upland reached
Dover with the rescued passengers
late in the afternoon and the scenes
at the landing were piteous. Exhaust-
ed by cold and exposure, many of
them half famished and others suf-
fering from “injuries, they were
brought ashore and supplied with food,
clothing and medical attendance. Ad-
miral Prince Louis of Battenburg and
the princess with the British naval of-
ficers, lending assistance. The naval
surgeons attended the wounded, many
of whom were removed in ambulances
to the hospital. The prince and prin-
cess of Battenburg had been giving a
dinner party, but they broke it up
and came ashore with their guests to
attend to the wants of the refugees.
Cannot Avoid Crowds.
Genoa—The sentimental pilgrimage
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his
wife, on which it had been the inten.
tion of the couple to retrace by easy
stages their honeymoon trip from
Spezia to Genoa, ended abruptly here,
24 hours ahead of the schedule that
had been planned, to avoid the con
stantly increasing demonstrations
Colonel Roosevelt and his wife were
encountering along the road. The
people and press of Genoa have mani
fested the most intense interest in the
movements of Colonel Roosevelt.

Colonel Roosevelt, who, he says has

Morocco. Roosevelt, says Harden, is
making a tour of bluff through Europe.

stole the rig and horse of a Methodist
minister nearby and eluded all pur-
suers.
The first blast, about 2:30 a. m,,
awakened guests of the Lane Hotel,
who appgared in night robes on the
dimly lighted streets to face the level

raiders. The guests scurried back
into the hotel, aroused the rest of its
sleeping inmates and the balance of
the small town by telephone.
The desperadoes boldly continued
their work for about an hour, blowing
two more blasts. Failing in this and
evidently running out of explosives,
they vanished and made their way in
the rig toward Virgil, where they are
believed to have boarded a train.

A Great Disaster to an Old
Couple Living Alone.
~ About seven o'clock Wednesday
morning the beautiful home of Jacob
Craft, about two miles north of Mo-
shannon, was found to be on fire.
There being no one present but Mr.
Craft and his wife, both of whom are
nearly eighty years of age, it was im-
possible to prevent the flames from
pursuing their work of devastation.
Neighbors soon: gathered and saved
nearly all their household goods ex-
cept the contents of a couple of rooms
upstairs and several bushel of pota-
toes in the cellar. The fire entailed
a loss approximating two thousand
dollars. Mr. Craft carried no insur-
ance, which makes it very bad for the
old people. Such a misfortune to
deepest
munity.
