Dewey Wil Not Let More Refugees Leave Manila on Ships— Rebels Inactive. Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press. ] Cavite, Philippine Islands, July 4, via Hong Kong, July 8.—Floods in the coun- try districts are hindering the edvance of the American troops. Rear “Admiral Dewey has given notice that he will not allow any more refugees te be removed from Manila on board ship. The German cruiser Cormoran left here teday for Iloilo, where the British gun- beats Pigmy and Rattler are in the harbor. Waiting for Merritt. HONG KONG, July 7—A dispatch from Manila, under Gate of July 4, says chat Admiral Dewey will remain inactive until Gen. Merritt arrives. The rebels are doing practically nothing, but the Spaniards are strengihening their pesition, destroying huts and woods and constructing entrenchments. The author- ities have enacted a law and a penalty of $1,000 against anybody who shall raise the prices of provisions. 5 The Spaniards arsert -that, despite the Ices of the water works, there will be no famine during the rainy season. They are cenfident that an ample force from Cadiz will arrive soon and annihilate the Amer- icans, and they stil! hope to conciliate the natives. In the meantime they declare that they will endure patiently whatever comes #nd resist to the uttermost. Ordered to the Philippines. ROME, July 8.—The Popoto Romano says the Italian government has ordered the third-class cruisers Piemente and Degali pine Islands. ——_+ A PLANT HUN ER’S FIND. The Most Striking Flower in Appenr- ance Since the Victorin Regia. From the London Mafl. A remarkable plant—remarkable both for its beauty and the circumstances under which it was discovered by an adventurous plant hunter—is on view at the Temple show. The Acalypha Sanderi, exhibited by F. Sander & Co. of St. Albans, halls from New Guinea. It was found by M. Micho- litz, the famous plant hunter, who also discovered the new moth orchid growing out of the skeletons of Papuans, which iay bleaching in the sun. M. Micholitz was traveling in a remote district of New Gui- nea inhabited by fierce cannibals, when ‘ame across a beautiful flowering plant, ch sprung up not only Zrom the ground, but from the toys of the mud huts of the natives. The expedition was of sufficient strength to overawe the savages, and M. delighted at his discovery, yveral specimens to be collected. So sure was he that their beauty would |. cause a furore in England that he accom- panied the consignment over 3,500 miles to Singapore, in order to see that the plants y dispatched from that port. ypha Sanderi is a green-leaved species, 1 spikes of gorgeous crimson flowers hanging from every node. These beautiful floral spikes are from twenty to thirty inches long, and as thick as an or- dinary waiking stick. A plant so striking in appearance has not been introduced to the civilized world since the Victoria Regi Was transported from its African hom: All the year round it sends forth its glow- ing pendants, and as its-initial cost will be small, it is likely to be popular with those of modest purses who love the presence of floral beauties. ‘Technically, the new plant 1s claimed to belong to the family of euphorbiaceae, which includes Hevea and Manihot, two of the caoutchoue trees, and the croton oil and castor oil plants are the other two of its kindred. Where a startling and beau- tiful effect is wanted, as in conservatories, plant houses, large ‘staircases, there are few growths in the plant world that can equal it. Easy of growth, requiring but little culture or attention, and perpetually flowering, when a more domesticated name is bestowed on the Acalypha Sandari, Lon- don and its suburbs may expect to ‘be lit up with blood-red lances of the New Guinea plant. M. Micholitz declares it to be the most striking object he had met during his travels. —__+ e+ —____ BROAD TIRES FOR WAGONS. axhaustive Tests Show Them to Be Superior to the Narrow Variety. From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. ‘The use of the bicycle is affording an il- lustration cf the cperatien of the broad- tired vehicle in keeping roadways in good conditton. This illustration is conspicu- ous after showers, when it will be noted that the tires of the bicycles beat down and harden the bicycle path much more repidly than the narrow-tired wagons re- store the roadway proper to a smooth con- cition. It is true that the action of the rreumatic tire is more beneficial to a soft 20adway than that of the hard broad tire, but its tamping effect is an illustration of what the wide tire does in comparison with the cutting effect of the conventional nzr- row tire. Were jt possible to substitute broad tires for the narrow tires now generally used, the condition of the uverage country road would be improved in @ short time. Not only that, but the e ciency of the average draught horse would be materially raised. Instead of cut irto the soft spots in a roadway, the wide tire compresses the soft earth and passes over it, leaving the spot in an improved dition for the passage of the next wheel. An exhavstive test of the broad and narrew tire, made at the agricultural ex- periment station of the Missouri State University, demonstrated that on hard, smooth and nearly level macadam road- ways the strain required to hau! a given load was 35.7 per cent less with the broad tire than with the narrow tire. On a gravel road with a hard surface, there was a margin of 33 per cent in favor of the broad ttre. in a road compos:d of a large quantity of sand mixed with gravel, th> margin was 45.5 per cent in favor of the broad tire. Over a new, un- used dry gravel road, the difference in favor of the broad tlre was 26.6 per cent. The narrow tire required less strain for haulage cn a road where water covered the surface and loose sand from one to two and one-half inches déep was found. But while the broad tire required a greater strain for haulage, it did no injury to the road, whereas the narrow tire cut through the soft carth beneath the water, and de- stroyed the surfacing. The broad tire was also at a disadvantage on roads where the hardpan was covered with dust, as the narrow tire cut through to the hardpan, while the wide tire pinched and heaped up the dust and thus increased the s1 raulage. The broad tire also required a greater strain on some kinds of mud roads. But as a whole, the tests were strongly fa- vorable to the use of broad tires fcr the average roads. . —$_—__s What Two Flags Represent. From the Bostom Tratscript. < England's national flag has been called “a triplet of crosses,” for it is composed of the cross of St. George, the cross of St. Andrew and the cross of St. Patrick. Thus: The flag of “St. George for merrie England,” a red cross on a white ground, the red lines drawn straight from top to bottom and from side to side; the Hag of St. Andrew fdr Scotland, a white cross on a blue ground; the flag of St. Patrick for Ireland, = red cross on a white ground, the narrow red lines drawn from corner to corner. By placing the cross of St. George on that of St. Andrew we have “the | Jack,” as ordered in 1006 by James I, whose signature was always Ae hence the ion, “the Jac! laying the cross of Bt. Patrick over. that ot St. An- drew and then placing thateof St. George over both, we have “the Union Jack,” as borne since the union with Ireland in 1900. An eloquent Canadian writer finds that the American flag and the English Wave together with singular beauty and harmony, “the one proclaiming the starry heavens, symbolicalof God's infinite power —the other emblematical of his greatest work, the redemption of mankind,” SLEPT WHILE: SHE SANK Beer a Aas, Many Passengers on /La Bourgogne Never Awoke in This Life. Only One of All the Survivors Was on Deck When the Two Ships Collided. BOSTON, July 8.—The Plant line steamer Halifax has arrived here having on board 162 survivors of the French line steamer La Bourgogne, which was sunk in a col- lision with the ship Cro*artyshire off Sable Isiand, last Monday. <j On the passage froth Halifax La Bour- gogne's passenger list was carefully re- vised, and it was shown that there were 714 souls on-board the steamer, of whom 550 were lost and 164 saved. Of the saved, twelve were second-class, forty-seven steer- age and the remainder 105 were members of the crw. “1 The shipwrecked men were given every necessary atiention here. Each one was provided with a ticket for New York, and special electric cars were in waiting to ccnduct the passengers. to the Providence station, where they were put on board a train bound for New York. The correspondent of the Associated Press, who took passage on the Halifax for the purpose of learning from the sur- vivors more of the detalis of the disaster that had been possible in the short time be- tween their arrival at Halifax and their departure for New York, during the trip to Boston had opportunity to ccme in con- tact with many of those who escaped. ‘Their stories were thrilling, and many of them gave horrifying details of brutality, if not of murder, possibly never equaled in the history of the merchant marine. Among those on board the Halifax not ene could be found who was on deck at the time the collision occurred. The only man saved from La Bourgogne who was on deck when the ships struck was Mr. La Casse, whe left Halifax by rail, saying he had had e1ough of the sea. Mrs. Lac e, the only weman saved, accompanied her husband. The survivors agree that when the La Bourgogne was struck by the Cromarty- sHire the shock was not great. Therefore it is believed that many of the passengers never awoke. The statements as to the tme intervening between the collision and the sinking of La Bourgogne vary greatly. Scme ten or fifteen minutes and others say thirty or thirty-five. minutes, while one man was certain it was a full hour. The blow that struck La Bourgogne was one that could never be provided against by water-tight door: Ss A DARING ESCAPE. Convict Gains Liberty by a Novel and Dangerous Method. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. It is one thing to catch a thief and it is another thing to hold him. During the meeting of the chiefs of police of all the larger cities of the United States and Can- ada, which occurred at Milwaukee the past week, there were reminiscences without number of remarkable captures and of es- capes which bordered Close upon the mirac- ulous. Tomes of criminal history were taken from the shelves of memory and opened at chapters of" thrilling interest by the men who had been themselves the prin- cipal actors. History? that but most men would pronounce Listen to! dne of the hai apes “by thé edge of a feath " as Lancelot “Gobbo would say, re- by some gray-haired chief, whose life’s history consists of page after page of this sort of thing, angd-then cease to doubt tat truth is indeed»stranger than fiction. “Thé most remarkable pe fromi prison that I can recall,” said William A. Pinker- ton to a group of chiefs and superintend- ent as that™of Steadman from the San Quentin pr But I'll not tell you about it, for here is John Glass, who caught Steadman and_gept him back to San Quentin Pre as Chief Glass straightened bis six fe2t three inghes and pinched the brown imperial on hié under lip reflectivelysforia mdment be- fofe he‘ responded to ‘thé looks’ of inquiry bent-upon him by thos: who were not fa- miliar with the story, “The escape to which you refer, Pinker- ton, was made after I sent Steadman to San Quentin and not before. I was not the for- tunate one to get him after that last won- derful break. And to tell tHe truth I have never taken te myself much credit for tak- ing him the time I did, for it was to a con- siderable degree a miattzr of good fortune, You see, we were just ut that time keep- ing our eyes open for a bank robber by the rame of Barnes, who had gon? into one of the banks out there, covered the one man who happened to be alone :n the place at the time, locked him up in the vault, and then coolly waik2d out-of the bank and out of sight With all the funds he could get his hands on, “One day a man answering closely the de- seription we had of Barnes stepped off the train at Los Angeles. We took him in tow at once, but found we did not have the bird we were after. However, We managed to hold him long enough to find out that he was Frank Steadman, who had become no- torious even at that time as a successful jail breaker. He had four or five escapes trom prison in southern Indiana credited to him, had got away from Joliet, ard had still seven years to do at the Illinois prison, had also been at San Quentin, and had es- caped from there with five years unfinished. “Steadman was a burglar by profession, and a machinist by inclination. Wh2n he Was sent back to San Quentin to finish his time he was put to work with other con- viets in the engine room. It was here that an idea came into his brain that for abso- -lute daring and fearlessness was. typical of the man. “He had noticed that every evening at the time the men working in th» engine room Were lined up to be marched away the ma- chinery was stopped at exactly the same moment. He had observed as well that a window leading to an adjacent roof was not far from the top of the big driving belt of the engine. From that roof it was possible to reach the outer wall of the prisua. Be- yond the wall was freedom. He had escap- ed so many times that his mind reverted again and again to the window, high up on the wall of the,engin2 room. Apparently it was beyond all possibility of bemg reached. No ladder was to be obtained. Had such a thing been even standing in place against the wall, to break from the line ani scale it with catlike dexterity, although the work of but a few seconds, he well knew would be futile, possibly fatal. Bullets travel faster than legs, and the guards were not bad shots. But desperat> deeds demand desperate means. Some finds may work with an ingenuity born of despair, but Steadman’s was of a different caliber. His plans were the outgrowth of steadfast op- timism. He never c2ased to scheme, as he never ceased to hope for liberty. “One day there came. to him, as if by in- spiration, the thought that the big belt might be the means, pf carrying him to ‘his goal. He found thié'il was impossibl: to count the revolutions df’the driving wheel, but there were lacings %n the broad belt, which he was able to:distingulsh as a sort of blur as it passed 4igiven point. For days and days he counted, amd in his cell at night he spent his time fn calculations. He discovered the exact-number of revolutions the wheel made per minute. He learned also, by constant .gbservation, just how many times the belt: vant round after the engine was shut down. > “One evening when the line had been formed as usual at the close of the day's work, and as’ the big wheel began to lose its momentum, suddénlyva convict sprang from the line, leapedste &he belt, with out- stretched arms grappling/both edges of the broad leather. He imad:calesiated well the strength that would be required, for the terrific wrench did not-loosea his grasp. Outward and upward he swang until he reached the topmost point of the cireum- ferenc3. The nicety of his calculation had reaped its reward, The belt stopped. He leaped to his fest, sprang through the win- dow and was gone before conyicts or guards had recovered from their astonishinent. He caught up a guard’s coat ani hat, ropped from the wall and got away ia the dusk of the evening. 1 am inclined to believe that a3 a mathematical proposition that was about as perfect a piece of work as any man ever accomplish:d.”” “And did he get away without recapture?” some one asked. , “No, I sorry to say, he did not,” answered the Los Angeles chief, “for that ought by rights to be the deacuemant of such a story, whien combines sv much of daring cleverness, Steadman was taken again in a short time and put to work at bis old job. There are bars over that high window above the big drive belt now. 13 ———— i Hecht and Company. | Hecht and Company. Hecht and Company. | for them.
