Conductor Is Lost and Heroic Crew Saves a Pas- senger. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN PEDRO, May 18.—On one of the roughest voyages in the history of the passenger steamer Warrlor, which ar- rived here from Avalon, Catalina Island, three hours late, 8. S. Knight, a conduc- tor in the employ of the San Pedro, Los “Angeles and Salt Lake road, was washed overboaré and lost. J. C. Herrick of Spokane, Wash., leaped overboard at the same time, but was saved after he- roic efforts of the crew. The 115 passengers praise Captain Dris- coll and the efficient work done by him and his crew in the manner of hand- ling his ship and his conduct in the work of rescue. The strong gale that swept the coast all day stirred up the sea to an unusual extent, and the waves rolled almost ncuntain high. The Warrior is a small vessel, and ‘when she left the island for San Pedro at 4 o'clock this afternoon at once plunged into a heavy sea. The pas- sengers on board were nearly all in a state of helplessness from seasickness. bout half way across the channel the ves began to break clean over the hur- ricane deck of the Warrior, and many passengers were in a state of panic. The vessel’s crew did ‘all in their power to lay the fears of the passengers, and were fairly successful. Knight was standing on the hurricane deck, when an unusually heavy sea broke over the boat from stem to stern. He was lifted off his feet and carried overboard. He disappeared immediately. Herrick became separated from his wife, 2nd seeing a woman's hat floating on the water believed she had been washed over- board. He leaped into the sea, only to discover his mistake. Herrick was res- cued by the crew after much difficulty. @ i 0| BURHING BODIES ON RODDAM'S DECK —_—— Continued From Page Oae. the captain, who was frightfully burned, only two engineers, two sailors and the boatswain were able to do duty. “Fire was still burning about the ship and the rigging was in flames.

VIEW ANOTHER ERUPTION. “We sailed from St. Lucia on the morn- ing of May 11 and at 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon passed the island of Martinique. | The weather was. perfectly clear and we | had a good view of that part of the island | which had suffered by the volcanic erup- | tion a few days before. The formation | oi the isiand is quite altered, and the whole northern part, where the town of St. Plerre once stood, is covered by a mass of es and lava. At 2:30 o'clock, as the Etonia was passing the island, a tre- | mendous upshoot of smoke and dust took | place, and in a few moments the ship was covered with fine dust like cement. We | were about three miles distant from the | time. The ship’s engines | were put under full speed and for a time | much’ anxiety was felt on board. For an | hour or more the ship was covered by dust and enveloped in a thick cloud and | the air was filled with sulphur fumes. It must have been another eruption, and | the dust had been sent a great distance in the air, because it traveled against the | wind and at a tremendously rapid rate.” The Lampoort & Holl steamer Horace ! arrived to-day from Santos, Rio de Jan- | eiro and St. Lucia, and reports that before the ship arrived at St. Lucla dust began falling in an unaccountable manner. This | was on the morning of May 8, During that day there was a heavy thunder and light- ring storm. The dust became so den: backs to it. ered the decks to the depthl of three | ir.ches. When the dust was first notice- ible the ship was 125 miles from Barba- does. \ | e ERUPTIONS ARE VIOLENT.

In spite of the | danger which threatens them, the refu- | gees from the northern part of the island are beginning to return to their homes. | Senator Knight, who accompanied Act- ing Governor I'Huerre to the northern part of Martinique, has sent a telegram to M. de Crais, the Minister of the Colo- nies, in which he declares that the in- habitants there behaved with much calm- ness and dignity during the sad events. The Sepator says also that the sugar Rlamauons at Maccuba, Basse Pointe | orrain are in good condition. The estates at Basse Pointe are intact and have not suffered from the volcanic eruptions, The crops in this district were not harmed and the people are ready to resume work. The Bank of Martinique has reopened its doors, says the Senator’s dispatch, end is giving credit to all who are ablé to give satisfactory guarantees. Marksmen End a Tournament.

STEREOTYPERS ENJOY AN OUTING UNDER THE TREES AT FAIRFAX PARK Members of Local Union Hold Their Fifth Anniversary Picnic and the Affair Is a Big Success---Games of Many Kinds Indulged In by Guests of the Organization COLTORE, o™ THE, Rckrmm WOoORE H15 NEM HE fifth anniversary picnic given yesterday at Fairfax Park by the San Franciscco Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union No. 29 was no stereotyped affair. There were enough novelties introduced that were a departure in picnic features. All the chil- dren were given toys to amuse them- selves. Amusements of all kinds were furnished the guests. Baseball games and dancing occupied the time. The day was not ideal for a picnic, ow- ing to a heavy wind blowing through the park, but the merry-makers cared not for Boreas' blasts. Half a dozen members of the police force were present, but they enjoyed a sinecure. They had nothing to do but to gaze at pretty girls*and stow away lunch. The members of the committee were resplen- dent in gaudy badges and alive to the work before them. Chairman Dengel ac- tually lost flesh hustling around to keep the fun going. Herbert Callinan was in charge of the games. His badge of authority partially hid a shirt of such warmth that the sun retired temporarily to attain more heat in order to compete. | E. J. Craig had his locks trimmed for the occasion and made a creditable appear- ance. Thomas Packham kept open house in the woods and entertained royally. During the afternoon Maas' orchestra discoursed popular music for dancins. Emilio Giannini wore out his shoes hot- footing it over the boards and ‘“Count” von Wagner thought it was a Scheutzen fest. The picnic was an orderly one and was the most successful given by the union. The following committees had the affair in charge: Arrangements—Emile Dengel, chatrman; J. | P.

The Swedish Society of San Francisco and Oakland pleasantly entertained about 1500 guests at its annual day and moon- light outing at Shell Mound Park yester- day.

Races for valuable prizes were held for boys, girls, gentlemen, members, ladies, fat men and committeemen. The affair was also very successful financially. The proceeds will be used in the benevolent work of the society.

ELKO, Nev.; May 18.—Some- uneasiness on the part of a great many of the peo- ple of Elko has been occasioned by the troubled condition of the waters for the past few days of a large and very hot spring about a mile east of town, and thought by many to be due to recent vol- canic disturbances. The water rises in the extinct crater of what at one time, perhaps ages ago, was an active valcano, judging from the appearnce of the sur- reunding country, the surface of which is a volcanie formation. - Persons who visited the spring last Sat- urday first noticed the peculiar disturbed and milky appearance of the water, but thought little of it until the news of the Tecent great volcanic disturbances ap- reared.m the papers. People who have ived in the vicinity of the spring for many years say that the water has grad- ually been getting warmer. In the mem- ory of the oldest inhabitants, however, the water has never before had the same appearance as at present. About six yvears ago a boy while bathing in the spring was drowned, and it was impossible to recover the body. At that time the place was sounded for depth but the bottom was not struck.

VACCINATION AND DANDRUFF. There Is‘as Sure Prevention of Bald- ness as There Is of Smallpox.

He Enows the Real Causes of the Present Trouble and That the Strikers Have Just Grievance: EE PR 5e B WASHINGTON, May 18.—“The coal strike is up to the mine operators.” This is all Senator Hanna, president of the National Civic Federation, will say. But Hanna as an individual or rather as chairman of the National Republican Ccmmittee brought the mine operators to terms in 1900, when there was a similar strike in the anthracite fields, and the Senator is not barred from using his per- sonal and political influence now because the efforts of the National Civic Federa- tion have failed. He believes now, as he did in 1900, that the miners have just grievances and that the operators are wrong. He knows that the excuses of the operators for refusing te grant the in- crease to the miners are not valid. Hanna also knows that flve or six rall- roads financed by J. Pierpont Morgan and the Vanderbilts control % per cent of the anthracite coal fields and absolutely con- trol the business. As president of the Civic Federation Hanna cannot engage in talks with obdurate mine operators, but he can still do something in that line as an individual who know all the secrets of the coal business and something of poli- tics. Hanna knows the real causes of this trouble and Morgan knows that he knows. There will be an effort to bring out this information, and it would not injure the cause of the miners if it became public. The mine operators seem to think they have Hanpa safely bottled up in the Civie Federation, where he can do nothing save offer to arbitrate. It remains to be seen ‘whether their judgment is correct. Just after the election in Hanna made a speech to a score or more of the great captains of industry in New York. It was at a private dinner and the speeches were not reported in the newspapers. But Han- na's speech was considered sensational in that select audience, coming from one of their number.” He told them the country was enjoying such prosperity as it never had enjoyed before and it would continue. But he reminded them that the humble laborers were not getting their share of this prosperity and that this condition would not long be tolerated without pro- ducing great unrest. They must so con- | duet their business as ‘to make all labor- ers, even the most humble, feel there was prosperity in the land. Hanna still holds the views he expressed in 1900 and he will no doubt use his personal influence to that end. BOTH SIDES RETICENT. Leaders Refuse to Discuss Their Plans for the Future. HAZLETON, Pa., May 18—The visit of Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the Na- tiona| Civic Federation, to strike head- quarters, and his conference with Presi- dent Mitchell of the United Mine Workers last night, was the only incident of any importance that claimed the attention to- | day of the labor leaders and others around the Valley Hotel. As neither Easley nor Mitchell would say anything regard- ing their meeting, there was muci specu- lation as to the object of the visit of the secretary of the Civic Federation. Basley laughed at the.stir which his ar- #ival caused, and said there was not the slightest significance attached to his trip here. He reiterated that he came here merely to look over the ground and to keep himself informed of the general sit- uation. He denied that he brought any plan for the settlement of the strike or fany message from Senator Hanna or any other member of the Civic Federation. Easley sald he carried no message back ‘with him from Mitchell. His talk with the miner’s national resident last night lasted two hours. e again saw Mitchell for a few minutes this morning and left for New York at 10 o'clock this morning. Despite the denials of the labor leaders, the members of the Civic Federation and the coal operators, all of whom have thus far rigidly adhered to the policy of ab- solutely refusing to anticipate any move- ment in connection with the strike, it is believed here that the federation is quietly preparing to receive any propo- sition that might possibly be offered by S Eisorats ulet 1 solute quiet reigned at headqu and throughout the Lehigh qvaar]tli;s Clergymen of nearly all denominations in their sermons to-day touched more or less on the strike. The great struggle was generally deplored and the hope was heid out that, though the strike mlach su{!ell-lng for a time, it end result in great good for bo and labor. There was an qe el scene at each of the masses at St. Gab- riel's Roman Catholic Church in this town. This {s the church of which the late Rev. E. 8.

DIAMOND DYES g0ier "33 08 2%ons BUT ONE MORD DATTO WARLIKE Ruty Continues to Defy the United States Troops. MANILA,- May 18.—General Chaffee re- turned here to-day from Lake Lanao, in the interior of the island of Mindanao. He sald he saw several Moro Dattos while there and had satisfactory inter- views with them. Nearly all the Dattos, and especially the surviving Sultans, claim to entertain friendiy - foslings - to- ward the United States. In view of a cablegram which General Chaffee received to-day from . General Davis, who is commander of the Ameri- can forces in Mindanao, and in which it appears that Datto Ruty has apparently refused to return the animals he captured from the American army, General Chaf- fee is not prepared to say that there will be no more fighting in Mindanao. General Davis reports that Datto Ruty says he is ready to fight, but General Chaffee believes that, aithough it may be necessary to bring this Datto to terms, his resistance of the American forces must necessarily be slight. Datto Ruty’'s forts are situated high hill. They could be surrounded by a line of American skirmishers, who would prevent the Datto obtaihing water and who could thps force a practically bloodless victory i: a few days. on_a PEACE YREVAILS AFTER THE DESPERATE BATTLZ Militiamen Patrol the District Where Officers and Negro Outlaws Fought to the Death.
