Scenes of Terror In Southern Austria
—Buildings Laid lit Ruins and
Boats Overturned in the Harbor
and Trains Rocked by the Shocks.
Thousands Camping iu the Fields.
Trieste, April 16.—Persona coining
from Laibach give vivid descriptions of
the sceues of terror during the earth
quakes of yestorday. The first shock,
shortly after midnight, was so severe
that the whole population was aroused,
and huudreds ran half naked into the
streets. By three o'clock the streets
were blocked with carts and carriages in
which the sick and aged, and the chil
dren were conveyed to places of safety.
A little later vans loaded with furni
ture could he seen on every side.
Kiteli Praying In the Streets.

boxes of valuables crowded the streets
and often stopped completely the prog

knelt on the corners and before churches,
praying for deliverance aud begging the
priests to pray for them.
Buildings Laid In Ruins.
The barracks, the museum, the dis
tillery and half a dozen other large
buildings were laid in ruins. Scores of
others were cracked and half shaken
from their foundations. At Flume the
audience In the Players' theatre had just
risen to leave the building when the
first shock came. All croweded inadly
to the exits. Many persons were Injured
in the Btruggle, but none fatally. AH
night boats filled with fugitives put out
from the Fiume wharves to the shipping.
There is hardly a vessel in the harbor
without several Fiume families onboard
who refuse to return to land.
Boats Capsized In the Harbor.
During the panic In Trieste a fright
ened horse ran down a crowded street in
tiring twenty persons seriously and
nocking down fifty or sixty. The har
bor was agitated as if by a storm, and

nal. The detectives say they are not
•nxloas whether the extradition pro
ceedings are successful or not, as they

SEARCHING FOR'AXOTHEIt BODY
Medical Student Durant Suspected
of Sevcrul Murders.
San Francisco, April 16.—The report
that an arm and other remains of a
third woman were found in the
Emanuel Baptist church is iu
correct, though search is now be
ing made for the body of Mrs. For
eythe, wife of u pressman with the
Schmidt Label company, on the supposi
tion that she was murdered by the same
hand that slew the two girls. The prin
cipal reason for this theory is that, sho
was a member of the Emanuel church
and frequently attended there. She was
known to have been in the company of a
man who atte ided the church with her,
and from this and a few other circum
stances, it was thought she had clop ;J.
It is now thought that Duraut, the
young medical student, now under ar
rest, was the man and that he killed her
also.
Suspected of Other Murders.
There are reasons for thinking that
Durant also murdered Eugene Ware, a
young drug clerk, who was murdered a
few months ago. Those who saw the
scientific butchery displa ed in both
cases, coupled as it was with horrible
savagery, immediately connected the
cases. Ware and Durant were close ac
quaintances, and Durant frequently
visited him at the pharmacy. He was
seen with Ware on the night of the mur
der. As a motive it is said that Durant
was jealous of Ware on account of his
attentions to a g.rl. Ware was stubbed
eighteen times with a double edged dirk,
and only two of the wounds looked as
though they hkd been delivered at ran
dom. Others were ab.iut the heart and
abdomen. Furthermore, Ware was mur
dered by a left-handed man. Duruut
uses both hands with equal facility.
OIL STILL GOES UPWARD,
Believed That the Standard Will
Again Hai.se Its Offer.
Pittsburg, April 16.—Petroleum had
another big advance yesterday and cer
tificate oil on the exchange closed at
$2.35 bid, au advance of thirty-six cents
per barrel since Saturday. The Standard
yesterday posted $2 as the price it wou.d
pay at the different agencies for Penn
sylvania oil. This is twenty five cents
of an advance from Saturday's purchas
ing price. Many believe that the Stand
ard will pay twenty five cents more
within the next day. On the local ex
change oil opened at $2.05 bid, or an ad
vance of six cents from Saturday's
closing price. The first sale was at 2.15
aud about 15,000 barrels changed hauls.
In a short time the market advanced to
$2 .25 with an occasional sale now and
then. From $2.25 there was a reaction
to $2.13 and then an advance to $2,244-
During this wide fluctuation in price but
few transactions were made, the market
being bid up and offered down. Near
the closing hour the market got very
strong and on the local exchange sales
were made at $2.32. At Oil City as high
as $2.35 was paid for certificate oil and
the market closed strong at $2.35 bid.
M'KANK A SORT OF FOREMAN.
Sutherland Will Not Be Permitted
To Work Under Him in Sing Sing.
Sing Siug, N. Y., Apiil 16.—Warden
Sage has not decided in what department
he will place convict Kenneth F.
Sutherland to work for the state. He
will probably be put to work in the
clothing department or laundry. Con
vict John \ f . McKane is acting "as a sort
of a foreman in the carpenter shop.
Sutherland is auxious to work again un
der the supervision of McKaue, but it is
hardly thought that Warden Sage will
permit him to do so.

AGAINST YANKEE
Spanish Feeling in Cuba
Running High.
Officials Putting ThemselT i Out of
Their Way To Make It Inconveni
ent for Americans The Virginius
Case Constantly Thrown Into Their
Teeth us an Incident of Cowardice.
Tampa, Fla., April 15.—A letter re
ceived from Santiago de Cuba says that
Spanish feeling against the "Yankee"
residents of Cuba is running high since
the Allianca was fired upon off Cape
Maysi. In Santiago and nearby vil
lages and towns where the newly ar
rived government troops have been quar
tered army sub lieutenants and lieuten
ants and even members of the so-called
home guards, seem to muke it their
business to cause resident or visiting
Americans as much iuconvenience as
possible.
Indignities to Americana
One is compelled to show his passport,
in some cases half a dozen times a day,
and is asked all kinds of impudent ques
tions. If you are not sufficiently fluent
in the Sj anish language to explain every
thing to the satisfaction of these officials
they draw their swords and march you
off to jail as a suspect.
Stars and Strlpea Forbid.
An American merchant doing busi
ness in one of these suburban villages,
n station on the railway leading into the
interior, lately put a flag pole on his
building, intending to raise the stars and
stri, es should the occasiou require, but
was warned by a Spanish army officer
not to do so, and accused of sympathy
with the revolution. While in conver
sation, the Virginius case is almost every
day thrown into the teeth of Americans
as an incident of the Yankee govern
ment's cowardice, and as proof that
Spain will never submit to Secretary
Uresham's demand in the Allianca case.
Consul Williams Coming Home.
New Y'ork, April 15.—A special cable
from Havana says: United States Con
sul General Williams has been granted
an indefinite leave of absence and has
been ordered to report in Washington.
He will probably leave for the United
States this week.
Probably the Decisive Battle.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 15.—A special
to the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla.,
says: News from Cuba to-dav is to the
effect that there is a big uprising iu the
province of Puerti Principe, that all la
borers, sugar fiel hands and sympa
th zers are in arms, and that a battle is
at band that >vill probably decide the
fate of Cuba. The uprising in Puerto
Principe is general and will ssriously
affect results. Maceo is on the island
hastening to the front with 11,000 men.
Speed of Trolley Cars Limited.
New Haven, Conn., April 13.—The
