SONDEMNS GOVERNOR'S8 AGTION, ity Councl! of Kingston Asked Amer | icans to Remaln, New York, Jan. 22.—The featurs-of the day's news from Kingstoni:Ja- maica, is the declination of Sir J: Alexander Swettenham, the governéi of Jamaica, to accept American aid and the departure, in consequence, of the American warships under com- mand of Rear Admiral Davis. Swettenham’s action appears mot to have met the views of the people and city officlals of Kingston. It is re- ported that the city council met after the incident became known, promptly between the United States and Great Britain will not be endangered thereby. NOTHING SHORT OF CRIMINAL. Red Cross Nurses Deplore Swetten- ham’s Action. Guantanamo, Cuba, Jan. 22.—The United States battleship Missourf has arrived here from Kingston. It was stated during the day that Governor Swettenham held up Satur- day night’s dispatches from Kingston regarding his letter to Rear Admiral | Davis requesting him to re-embark the American marines who had been landed to assist in the relief work ashore: Just previous to the departure of the American warships the mayor and city council of Kingston sent a peti- tion to the admiral begging him to re- main and the relief committee, headed by Archbishop Nuttall, threatened "to resign. When the American surgeons left the hospital the patients wept and begged them and the American war- ships to stay and the Red Cross nurses declared that the governor’s action in causing the Americans to withdraw was nothing short of criminal.

SHIPPING 1S DAMAGED STORM AT BUFFALO CAUSES MA- RINE LOSSES AGGREGATING OVER $1,500,000. : FIYE GRAIN LADEN VESSELS ASHORE TWO OF THE BIG FREIGHTERS CARRIED HIGH AND DRY ON THE BEACH. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 22.—Two deaths have been reported as a direct- result of the storm which prevailed in this vicinity during the past twenty-four hours. These occurred at Dunkirk, where an eleven-year-old girl was drowned and Mrs. Henrietta Soldwick was killed by flying debris from a de- molished icehouse. in Buffalo it is estimated that the storm did from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 damage. At Niagara Falls damage to the amount of $25,000 was done to the Great Gorge railroad, while in the heart of the city buildings valued -at about $25,000 were completely demol- ished. From every city and town along the lake front reports of great damage are received. -Inland towns also suffered considerably. The storm lasted almost twenty-four hours, during which time the velocity of the wind varied from forty-two to eighty-five miles an hour. The great- est losses will be those sustained by marine interests. Of the twenty-three vessels anchored under the lee of the breakwater near the harbor entrance five took the beach at the foot of Michigan street, The boats ashore Hurlburt W. Smith, William Nottingham, J. Q. Rid- dle. Monroe C. Smith and A. G. Brower. All these vessels are modern freight- ers of an average valuation of $350, 000. As most of them are still laden with grain their total valuation is not far from $12,000,000. The Hurlburt W. Smith and the Not- tingham, both high and dry on the beach, will give the wreckers a diffi- cult job. They are so far out that it is believed that the only way they can be released will be by digging trenches around them and practically relaunch- Ing the craft. CREST OF FLOOD REACHED. Ohio River at Cincinnati at a Stand- still. Cincinnati, Jan. 22.—The Ohio river at this point has stood at 65.1 feet for several hours and it is believed that the end of the flood is in sight and that possibly the river may g0 no higher. It will recede very slowly, however, the immense body of water below here holding back the flood and the losses and suffering will continue for some time. The slow recession of _the water may reduce the amount of the damage to property, but the cold weather, which has helped to stop the flood, will be an occasion for greater suffering by those whose homes are in the flooded sections and who are tem- porarily housed in schools and vacant buildings and are being fed by neigh- bors = and: charitable organizations. Many dwellings and other small build- ings have collapsed under the pres- sure of the water, the high wind of Saturday night and . Sunday having added materially to the damage in this respect. Reports from Lawrenceburg and Aurora, Ind., which were threatened with destruction by the flood, are that both :towns were still safe, although the danger Ingreases hourly. The levees are SHMf intact, but the resi- dents of those cities will not rest easy until the water recedes. tiundreds of men _ stand ‘ready to block the first break in the levee and close watch was kept all night. ' 4 CONSIDERED “ALARMING. Great Number of New Cases of Con- tagious Diseases at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 22.—All epidemic rec- ords for a period-of twenty-four hours, as far back as the typhoid plague of 1893, were broken during the day ‘when 100 cases of scarlet fever and 45 cases 0f diphtheria, a total of 145, were reported to the Chicago health depart- ment,” Besides these there were re- corded twenty cases of other con- tagious diseases. The increase in diphtheria was considered alarming. In ‘the weekly bulletin issued by the health department strong empha- sis is laid upon an oft repeated plea for the establishment of regular med- ical inspection of the schools. It in- cludes an assertion that the inspec- tion made possible by the emergency appropriation of $15,000 should end the present conditions within a fort- night. Murder Suspect Is Dead. Eldorado, Kan., Jan. 22.—Robert Hall, the young farmer who was charged with having murdered Miss Mary Glass, a schoolteacher, in the schoolhouse at Whitewater, near here, on Wednesday night, died during the night without making a confession.

Trial of Harry Thaw Goes Over for Brief Period. New York, Jan, 22.—The trial ot Harry K. Thaw, charged with the murder of Stanford White, has been postponed until Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Thaw was not brought into the courtroom. The defendant was held in the pris- oners’ room in the. criminal court building while the roll of the 200 tales- men was being, called. His wife ar- rived at the prison too late to see him. ‘She did not go' to the court- room. All persons other than the 200 men trom which the jury of twelve is to be selected were excluded from the court- room. Even the newspaper men, in- cluding correspondents from many ot} the larger cities of this country, Lon- don and Paris, were held outside the courtroom. The large crowd which gathered to catch a glimpse of Thaw or some of the others connected with his case was disappointed. During his journey from the prison cell to the courthouse Thaw. was not once exposed -to the public gaze. The prisoner appeared happy and confident and ‘walked with a springy’ step. He was accompanied by his counsel. TWENTY-SEVEN KNOWN DEAD ‘EXPLOSION OF CAR OF POWDER WRECKS PASSENGER TRAIN ON THE BIG FOUR.

How to Detect Base Coin, Beveral cases of making and circulat | Ing counterfeit coin have been heard at the central criminal court during the last few days, and at the conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the Jury asked the authorities if they would take a suggestion from twelve business men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in silver coin. There was, he said, a most simple test for the detection of base coin. It wasg to sharply cut the milled edge of a good coin against the milled edge of the suspected coin. 1f spurious the metal would almost immediately begin to shaveoff. After making a personal test the common sergeant said he quite agreed with the suggestion of the jury as to the usefulness of the test and said it ought te be made known.—Lon- WANIED: For the U.S. Mar- ine Corps, men between the sges 21 snd 85.

According to trainmen freight the explosion of the powder was caused by the concussion made by the passenger train, which was slowing down for the station at Sand- ford.
