SUNK BY GERMAN WARSHIP Haitian Revolutionary Gunboat Cretc-a Pierrot Riddled. CREW WAS ALLOWED TO LEAVE HER. When Admiral Kllllck I Ordered to Surren der tb Vessel the Crew Set Fire to It The Oerman then Flrei Into the Vessel Until it Sinks Retaliation tor the Holdinf Lp ot Oeroaa Steamer. Cape Haiticn (By Cable). The gun boat Crete-a-Pierrot, which was in the service of the Firminist revolutionary party has been sunk at the entrance of the harbor of Gonaives by the German gunboat Panther. The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left her before she went down The Panther received instructions from the German Government to capture the Crete-a-Pierrot. She left promptly for Gonaives, the seat of the Firminist Government. The FanAer found the Cretc-a-Pierrot in the harbor of Gon aives. The commander of the German gun boat informed Admiral Killick, on the Crete-a-Pierrot, that he must remove his crew and surrender his vessel in five fint'te. Admiral Killick asked that this time be extended to IS minutes. This request was granted on the condi tion that the arms and ammunition on board the Cret.'-a-Pierrot should be abandoned when her crew left her. The crew of the Crete-a-Pierrot left that vessel amid great disorder. At the end of the 15 minutes the Panther sent a small boat carrying an officer ani 3") sailors who went to take possession of the Firminist vessel. When these men had arrived at about SO yards from the Crete-a-Pierrot flames vere seen to break out on board of her. She had been fired by her crew before it left her. The Panther then fired on the Cretc-a-Pierrot until she sank. Thirty shots in all were fired. There is much feeling here against the Firminists and their cause is considered to be a bad one. Sold ers are leaving here to attack St. Marc. Port au Prince is calm. Monroe Doctrine Out ot It Washington, D. C. (Special) The destruction of the Crete-a-Pierrot will be made the subject of an official report to this Government by United States Minister Powell who is now at Port an Prince. Pending the receipt of tho report there 5s, in the opinion of the officials here, little likelihood of any action by the State Department. Indeed, judging from the character of the instructions trans mitted through the Navy Department to Commander McCrea. ui the Machias, there will be little disnosition to ques tion the justice of the treatment accord ed Admiral Killick. Commander McCrea was especially instructed to prevent interference with commerce at Cape Haitien, and in 'he oecution of those orders he was obliged to warn the rebel admiral that he must not search foreign shipping, else the Machias would use her force against him. The threat was effectual only se long as the Machias remained in Haitien waters. As soon as she headed north ward it seems Killick held up the Ger man steamer Markomannia and seized her cargo of arms. TEtDY'i GUN MAKES A SLIP. K Portion of a Charge Goes Through a Rail way Official's Coat Redfield, S. D. (Special). The pleas ure of the hunting party of the North western Railway officials, of which The odore Roosevelt, Jr., is a member, came near being marred by a serious acci dent. A gun. in the hands ot your.g Roosevelt was accidentally discharged and a portion of the charge pierced the clothing of A. C. Johnson, general traffic manager for Minnesota and the Dako tas, and tore away his coat on the left side. Fortunately, none of the shot penetrated the skin, and the affair did not interrupt the hunting. Theodore was within 6 fcrt of Mr. Johnson when the accident occurred, and had the gun been turned half an inch to the left the charge must hae proved fatal. PIKE'S PEAK ENGINEER MISSING.

The United States Department of Ag riculture has issued a circular defining the laws regarding the shipment of game. The following notes are taken from it: Robins, swallows, cedar birds, meadow-larks, flickers, night hawks, or bu'.l bats, and a few other insectivorous species, as well as such bird as long spurs, snow buntings and shore larks, which are useful in destroying seeds of weeds, are occasionally killed as game. They are, however, generally protected, and under no circumstances should they be sent to market or ship ped out of the State. Statutes even more stringent than those protecting game birds have re cently been enacted by many States for the preservation of birds which arc not included in the game list. Under these statutes birds which arc in demand for millinery purposes are protected throughout the year, and sale and pos session, as well as killing, are prohib ited. It should be remembered that the principal centers for millinery supplies are nearly all located in State which have such laws, and the purchase of native song-birds, as well as of herons, pelicans, gulls, tcrnes or sea swallows, grebes, or other plume birds, should be avoided. The shipment of these birds or any part of their plumage is prohibited by the provisions of the Federal law. Os trich feathers are not subject to these restrictions, and their- use should be encouraged. Number ot Banks Increasing.

(Special). "Without the shedding of bond there can be no remission of sins." Thus spoke Rev. Maurice Wilson, a Baptist minister, whose head the snows of 80 winters had whitened, as he drew a ra zor across the throat of his aged wife and she fell lifeless at his feet. The tragedy is supposed to be the outcome oi family differences or of re ligious fanaticism on the part of the aged man. For many weeks he has been an intent student of the sacri ficial law of the Bible, and it is thought by many that his mind was warped by his close application and that thc terri ble tragedy that has aroused Wayne county from one end to the other is the result of this.

Timbers Rolled In the Mine from Lack of Care and Accumulation ot Water Through ' Disuse Caused by Strike A further Cavein Is Expected and Men Have Been Pieced on Guard. Wilkesbarrc, Pa. (Special). A big cavein of the earth's surface over the Payne mine, at Dorrancetown, took place, causing considerable excitement in the neighborhood. The cavein cov ers an area of nearly acres and af- 1 l,'".'u ''.? ."'c alarm snould the earth sink still further. The cavein is due to the fact, so it is said, that the mine has not been in op eration since the strike, and the water has accumulated in the workings in large quantities. ChaiR-stcn, V. Va. (Snccial). The coal miners' strike in the Kanawha and New River fields, involving 15.000 min ers, which has been in existence since June 7, is practically at an end. Each local union is instructed to go back ti work on the best terms possible, with out regard to the action if any other local. Several of the largest operators in the New River field have made terms with their men and resumed. No concessions have been "'anted, and from the miners' standpoint the strike is - 'mplele fail ure, the men returning to work at the same rate as before the strike. Soft Coal Sirike is Off.

At the close of the seventeenth week of the miners strike both sides to the con- 1 ation. I he operators state that the output of coal the past week was greater than any other week since' the strike began, and next week it promises to be still greater. Thc strikers, on the other hand, claim, through their officers, that the efforts of the big companies to re sume mining has been a signal failure, as they have been unable to get miners to cut the coal. At strike headquarters it is admitted that the washeries are turning out a certain amount of coal of poor quality, but it is claimed that the total output is only a drop in the bucket.
