The water front was lined { with shallow draught gunboats, in which | the imperial authorities were dispatching | soldiers and their ponies up and down the Tiver to meet the rebels.

In the two Kwangs and the Yun Kwel provinces the rebels, numbering 120,000 en, have artillery and modern war mu- tions besides fully 90,000 Mauser maga- fles.

For fourteen years Mrs. Klein, who is a portly German woman, close to the half century mark in years, has run a small restaurant in St. Louls, Mo. By hard work and thrift she amassed several thou- sand dollars. About five weeks ago Charles Marco, a, Hungarian waiter about 32 years of age,obtained employment from Mrs. Klein, and immediately ingratiated himself into her affections. She had been divorced from her first husband two years before, and she premised to become Mar- co's wife. During the latter part of April Marco arrived in San Francisco, having made the journey west for the ostensible purpose of inding a good place to go into business. He rented a room at 146 Eddy street and wrote to Mrs. Klein, telling her that this city offered good opportunities. She im- mediately sold out her restaurant came. west. She arrived in the city Sunday, having nearly $7000 in cash and some jewelry. She cccupied the same room as Marco, and according to her story, the under- standing was that they were to be mar- ried during the present week. Her mDne{, consisting of $3000 in $100 bills and $3300 In bills of small denominations was placed between the mattresses of the bed wrapped in sheet rubber. KNEW SHE HAD MONEY. The fact that Mrs. Klein had a large sum of money was known to Marco and | to Mrs. Majors, the landlady. The latter | advised Mrs. Klein in the morning to de- posit the money in some bank, but Mar- co said there was no hurry about it. | _ Between 5 and 6 o'clock last evening | Marco came to the house and after greet- | ing Mrs. Klein, who was sitting in Mrs. | Majors’ apartment, proceeded to the room occupied by himself and Mrs. Klein. | She went into this room shortly afte | ward and discovered the bed in disorder. | A hasty search disclosed the fact that the | money and jewelry were missing, and fur- | ther examination showed that the thiet | had made his escape through the rear of | the house. | Policeman James Cullenan, the officer | on the beat, was immediately notified by | the two excited women and he breught | them down to police headquarters. De- | tectives, Bell and Reynolds were detailed | on the case and together with, the women | went at once to the ferry in hopes of in- tercepting the fugitive. He was mnot found, and a search of the Overland train at the Oakland mole was likewise fruit- |less. Up to a late hour last night no | trace of the missing man had been se- cured but the police are watching closely every avenue of escape. LEFT ENTIRELY DESTITUTE. Mrs. Majors, the landlady, gives an ac- curate description of Marco, which will probably aid in his apprehension. She | says he is about 32 years of age, five | feet eight inches tall, of stocky build | and dark complexion, with dark brown | hair and hazel eyes. He weighs 18) pounds, | has a full face, small chin, protruding and | NOTED NEWSPAPER MAN | DIES FROM INJURIES JWa.lter Haldeman of the Louisville ! Courier-Journal Victim of | an Accident.

R SRR R EIRR H RN RN TIITRIPN TELLS THE SENATORS ABO}L’J;}U'BAN FUGAB Hugh Kelly of New York Witness Before the Committee in Washington. WASHINGTON, May 13.—Hugh Kelly of New York, extensively interested in Cuban sugar-growing, was before the Senate Committee on Relations with Cuba to-day.. He asserted that the Cuban sugar-growers would be the beneficlaries of any reduction that was made In the duty by the United States. He said the refiners could not control the price.and the sugar-mill owners would not benefit from the reduction, except in cases where they owned the land.. He showed that many Americans owned sugar lands in Cuba, but declared that few options were now ‘accepted by Cubans because they wanted to make sales outright if at all. He sald sugar-growing had not been profitable of late years because of the low price of the product and the high price of labor, workingmen recelving a dollar a day in gold. He discussed at scme length the possibilities of sugar production. in Cuba. Senator Piatt read a letter from Gen- eral Wood, giving the last sugar crop at 750,000 tons instead of 880,000 tons, ac- e A WOMAN WHO CLAIMS SHE WAS ROBBED BY HER IN- TENDED HUSBAND. x - cording to a previous estimate.

Before they could come to a standstill the vehicle dashed into a post and was, wrecked. Mrs. Crothers was thrown headlong into the street, striking on her head. She was stunned for a short time and sustained numerous bruises, but her injuries are not serious.

NORRISTOWN, Pa., May 13.—The pres- ence of mind of Miss Katle Henderson saved thirty men employed in the quar- Fe’s at West Coshohocken from death or njury. Miss Henderson resides a short distance from the quarry and as she looked from a window she saw that the roof of the powder magazine was blazing. The men at work in the quarry were not aware of their danger until she ran to the quarry and warned them, and not a sec- ond too soon. While the men and Miss Henderson were fleeing there was a terri- ble explosion. The air was filled with splinters, stones and dirt, which showered upon their heads. In the magazine which exploded there were thirty kegs ®f powder | and 300 pounds of dynamite. Nothing but avhole in the ground marks the place where the powder house stood. Lo After Coronation—the Crisis. MADRID, May 13.—Senor Canalejas, the Minister of Agriculture, has con- sented to retain his portfolio until after the accession of King Alfonso.

PETERSBURG, May 12.—Serious “Russian Easter” riots have occurred in the province of Kuban, North Caucasia, between Russlans and Armenians. The latter were outnumbered and routed.

Many Children Are Among the Victims of the Explosion. Three Hundred Fersons Believed to Have Been Seriously Injured in the Calamity Near the City of Pittsburg. 3 PITTSBURG, Pa., May 13.—A careful and systematic search for the dead and injured in the Sheridan explosion and fire of yesterday reveals to-night a list of twenty-three dead and 202 injured. The complete list of the injured may never be known, as many were able to get away without making known their identity. A conservative estimate made by those fa- miliar with the situation places the num- ber more or less seriously hurt at not less than 300. The official list of the dead, up to 8 o’clock to-night, given out by the Coroner, follows: ELBERT.BERRY, aged HUGH FLAHERTY, DALLAS BYRD, 2 W. Va. ANTONIO LEO, 33, Sheridan. FINNERTY, 40, Sisterville, W. Va. J. L. KENNAN, 17, Carnegle. H. S. SMITHLEY, 20, Uhrichsville, Ohio. GEORGE D. WILSON, 15, Sheridan. MATTHEW L. MARNON, 24, McKee's Rocks. DONALD SMITH, 9, Sheridan. WILLIAM H. FIFE, 10, Sheridan. CHARLES HAERTIG, 14, Green Tree Borough. WALTER E. RICE, 31, Dorrencetown. ELMER E. HUNTER, 37, Sheridan. W. TAYLOR, 24, Miller’s Station, 15, Sheridan. Espl plen. New Cumberland, NOWN BOY. AN ITALIAN SECTION FOREMAN. This list will likely be added to during the night, as a number of the victims, at the hospitals are reported by the physici- ans to be in such sericus condition that it will be a miracle if they survive. There are scores of people in Sheridan who should be In the hospitals, but for want of room they are being cared for by friends. Some of these are also expected to_die. The scenes in and around Sheridan to- day were pitiful in the extreme. Nearly every house in the village had an injured inmate, and in many homes mourning families were gathered about the charred and distorted remains of victims of the calamity. Many children were caught by the flames yesterday, and as a result the two public school buildings to-day were almost deserted. Of the 700 pupils en- rolled, but 200 were in attendance at the sessions to-day. Of the 500 absent, Pro- fessor Hannum estimates that 100 were injured. The children have started a fund for the aid of their unfortunate school- mates, some of whom are in need of financial assistance. The damage to property by the ex- plosion will probably be heavy. The loss at the mouth of Cork’s Run tunnel alone will probably exceed $100,000. In addition to the heavy loss by the railroad com- pany, twenty-five houses were destroyed by the fire which followed. Grand Jury Must Investigate. DENVER, Colo., May 13.—Mrs. Nellie Gabrin, who was charged by Chief of Po- lice Armstrong with having murdered her husband, Representative Albert Gab- rin, by administering arsenic to him, was released to-day by Justice of the Peace Byrne, the State having chosen to present its cvidence before a grand jury, rather than In a justice’s court.
