Filipino Coal-Passers—The Transport Was Twice Caught in Typhoons Looked for by the HE United States transport War- ren, now out fourteen days from Yokohama with the First Colo- rado Volunteers aboard, has been having a lively time of it. Before she got away from Manila there | was a mutiny in the engine room and | twenty-four of the firemen and coal passers are now serving sentences of from three months to a year in Bilibid jail. After getting away from Manila with a Filipino crew in the fireroom, she was twice caught in a typhoon and was given up for lost at Nagasaki. The Warren left Manila four days The day after she sailed a typhoon raged far forty- eight hours and the Warren must have The day after DD e and Was Anxiously Centennial’s Crew. i firemen were in open revolt and the engineers had to fly to their rooms and lock themselves in. A force of soldiers was sent out from the shore and twen- ty-four of the men were arrested. They were all tried on a charge of mutiny. The ringleaders got a year and the others lighter sentences. None of them were sentenced for less than three months, so the Warren had to take a Filipino crew in the fireroom when she | was ready to sail. They must have had lots of fun keeping steam in the boilers during the two typhoons the Warren was out in. I guess the engineers would have been mighty glad to have had those poor fellows in Bilibid prison aboard again when the storm was at its worst.” The people on the Centennial do not | think the Warren will get here before next Thursday or Friday. They say she will not be able to make her best & the Centennlal arrived at Nagasaki an- other typhoon developed and detained her several d in port. There were no signs of the Warren and a British tramp which reached port could throw no light on her de The tramp and the Warren led from Manila to- | gether, and the Britisher was caught in both typhoons. The captain reported no sign of the Warren after the first day out. | Upon eailing from Nagasaki Captsin | Eagles kept a bright lookout for the Warren, but saw no sign of her, and | in consequence felt very anxious until informed yesterday morning by the lot that the Warren sailed from Yo- | kohama on August 1 for San Francisco. The firemen on the Centennial say | that the trouble on the Warren was all caused by the engineers. They worked a sick man until he nearly dropped dead, and then because the rest of the men objected they were arrested. “It was just this way,” sald a fire- The engineers were down on the white men because they | wanted Chinese or Rilipinos.

She was 78 years of age. | afternoon, “but as acrobats, jugglers and occupied by the City Normal | ring performers generally they will hold their own with any natlonality on earth.” The remarks of the secretary were called forth by the results of a private exhibition given by the Filipinos in the | Mechanics’ Pavilion_yesterday afternoon { to the directors of the institute and their friends, which was voted a_complete suc- cess. There are about forty performers, and although they had not been able to do much exercise since June last they | gave a most creditable exhibition when they got loosened up in their joints, and | by steady practice they will without doubt | create a sensation. The directors and | friends were delighted with the exhibition, | and think they have struck a gold mine as an attraction at the coming fair. | The programme yesterday afternoon | was opened by a selection from the Fill- pino band. They don’t know a note of music and play entirely by ear. They are quick to memorize a tune, however, and | showed it by playing the’ familiar “Hot Time In the Old Town” without a hitch. Then the whole {roupe, with the excep- | tion of Tister, who is still suffering from | the effects of carbon-monoxide, filed into the ring and did some high and lofty tumbling. “Tod Sloan,” a little Filipino, and another youngster made a hit and will be a drawing card. A woman did some clever feats on the wire rope, cluding_undressing and dressing on’ the | rope. Then followed exhtbitions on the Roman _rings, juggling, pole balancing, | pyramids of chairs, horizontal bars and concluding with a pantomime, “The Doc- tor and His Patient,”” introducing the clown and Columbine. The first public performance will be given Friday. A clock is being constructed for Liverpool-street station in London. The interior of its case could allow five | persons to dine comfortably.
