NEW YORK. Sept. 5. It is generally

of a more terrible death,
Details that have been received during
the last two days prove that the erup
tion of Mount Peleo August 30 was
far more violent than any of the carllor
explosions. As the eruptions continue,
the mouth of Mount Pelee grows In size.
It is now of enormous proportions. Morne
Lacrolx, one of the peaks that reared
skyward from the south side of Pelee,
has fallen bodily into the crater and has
been completely swallowed. There seems
to be a side pressure in the crater and
the burning chasm widens perceptibly
every day.
Clouds no more hang about the crest
of Mount Pelee. The terrific heat seems
to drive everything away. The column of
flame and smoke rears directly Into the
heavens, so that Its top Is lost to sight
In the darkness of the night it has the
appearance of & stream of molten iron,
standing fixed between heaven and earth.
From Morne Capote the Tellef troops were
compelled to make a quick retreat, al

few wounded. The entire country, nearly
to Fort de France. Is burled under a deep
cover of ashes. This has made it almost

pour upon the village. She said that the
first explosion destroyed many houses.
She was hurled wun great force against

PARIS, Sept 5. The Colonial Minister
received a cable dispatch today from Fort

VICTORY FOR THE FLEET
SQUADRON RUNS THE GUNS OF
FORTS ADAMS AND WETHERILL.
Sharp Night Attack That AtvoIcb
l Nevrport From Its Slumbers War
Will End Today Witn a Review.
NEW PORT. R. I.. Sent 5. Two cruis
ers and three battle-ohlps of Admiral
Higginson'B fleet ran the guns of Forts
Adams and Wetherill tonteht, getting
witnin Droaasifle range for all their guns
before they were sighted by the search
lights of the forts. The fact that the
Brooklyn got to the mouth of tho harbor
before it was nicked ud by the search
lights Is considered by naval men here to
be a victory for the fleet
When, afloat and ashore, the cannonad
ing was at Its height the scene was one
of grandeur. The racket woke up Newport
as ltiever was aroused before. The gun
ners in the forts, after worklngJthe big
guns for a few mlnuteB, had toBesert

great a din as the big guns, and if any
thing made the picture a livelier one. The
five vessels came in under Fort Adams un

DECISION MAY AFFECT
PRINCESS ROSPIGLIOSI.
BOMB. Sept 5. The application of Princess Roeplgllosl. who was Miss Maris
Held, of Waahlnrt&n. D. C, for tho annulment of her first marriage with Fred--erlck
Parkhurst, of Bansor, Me., involves a point of canon law, the decision of
which la considered In church circles as likely to. affect thousands of marrlnKes
of Catholics and non-Catholics in the United States. The application for the an
nulment was filed 14 months ago. It la now tald that the principal reason for
the delay Is becaure the propaganda was unwilling to decide in favor of the sup
plicant on a point which might Possibly raise tho queeticn of tho legality of an
other marriage.
ThetPrincesa? lawyers expect to secure an annulment on the ground that there
is no trace of a dispensation having been either granted or read In the church at
the time of the marriage, which, according to canon law. is Indispensable, as Mr.
Parkhurat wae a non-Cathollc. The American clergymen eay that these formali
ties are generally omitted, and a decision In favor of the Princees contention
will affect thousands of similar cases. The lawyers have Just formally complained
of the delay in reaching a decision, which they attribute to malevolence.
tion, and then they appeared to anchor.
The firing stopped, and It was supposed
the great battle was ended. In half an
hour the ships suddenly steamed out of
the harbor- in the same order as coming
In, the Brooklyn leading. The shlpB did
not fire a gun, but Fort Adams gave them
a few broadsides, and when the Brooklyn
and Olympia -were abreast of Beaver Tall
light. Fort Greble opened for the first time
tonight The fleet escaped, If such was
the idea, toward Block Island.
During the battle the smaller craft were
In squadron formation to seaward, and did
not attempt to 'enter the harbor. The
Puritan and Indiana were not seen. As
there was not time for communication
between the shore and the ships, the ma
neuver of the fleet was mystifying. The
Army claims that not only would Its guns
have swept the ships, but Its mines would
have wrecked some of them In the nar
row channel, so that escape would have
been Impossible for any that reached the
harbor.
DEMONSTRATION AT NEWPORT.
Battle-Ships Engaged the Forts in
Narragransett Bay.
NEWPORT, R. I.. Sept 5. Nearly the
entire fleet under Rear-Admiral Hlggln
son's command made a demonstration
this afternoon against the Army defenses
on Narragansett Bay, but did not at
tempt to come Into close quarters with
any of the forts. A landing was effected,
however, at Price's Neck, where the
searchlight and range station on which
the mortars at Fort Adams are sighted
and fired were put out of action for an
hour. During that time the battle-ships
Kearsarge and Alabama engaged Fort
Wetherill, the cruisers Olympia and
Brooklyn hammered Fort Groble, In the
West Channel, while the battleships Mas
sachusetts and Indiana and the' monitor
Puritan destroyed a signal station at the
entrance of Seakonet River. After two
hours of fighting the fleet drew off shore,
where it assembled Just before sunset for
what at that time looked like a night at
tack. Tho main point of attack was at
Price's Neck, the object being to put that
station out of action before tho mortar
batteries could fire once or twice. This
would give the larger vessels a chance
to come up rind engage the regular bat
teries. The task was a hard one in any
case, but today It was doubly so, for the
air was like crystal and the movement of
tho fleet could be watched at a great dis
tance off shore. But under the rules Ad
miral Higginson was obliged to engage
the Narra.gansett Bay forts just as earn
estly as he had those In Long Island
Sound, and at New Bedford. He was un
fortunate, however, in choosing the clear
est day .of the week. Still, he went at It
bravely, and. the whole affair this after
noon was well planned and carried through
wi.th determination.
The gunboat Peoria came In today under
va flag of truce, and an officer from Fort
Adams boarded her. It was said after
ward that the Peoria came In to pick up
counter-mines laid Ibt night, as they
were dangerous to navigation. At Army
headquarters the placing of counter-mines
Is declared to have been an unnecessary
move, as no mine has been placed In that
particular location.
THURSDAY NIGHT'S BATTLES.
aXacArtaar's Statement on the En
gasemeat Between Forts and Fleet.
NEWMXNDON, Conn.. Sept 5. Major
General MacArthUr, commanding the De
partment of tho East, this noon made
public a. statement of the progress, of last
night's engagements between Forts
Wright Mlchle and Terry, and Admiral
Hlggmson's fleet Tho statement says
that Fort Wright fired 3i9 shots of all
calibers, .the Fire Commander claiming
the destruction of the entire fleet by
three or four times the number of pointy
required. Fort Michle's batteries fired at
all the ships until the last one was out
of range, and claims to have put out the
Brooklyn. Indiana, and Alabama. Fori
Terry, in the meantime, was engaged at
long range. The statement adds:'
"It was avery clear ad bright star
light night, add even If all of the search
lights are ruled out hy -the fire from the
cruisers,, the battle-ships were easily
seen, and suffered severely from the bat
teries at Wright and Mlchle."
Shortly after 6 o'clock the battle-ships
passed through the race, returning- ap
parently to Block Island. At :40 Fort
Adams reported the fleet In line of bat
tle, heading In at 12,000 yards. At 12:2S
Fort Adams reported the Peoria entering
the harbor, flying a Bag of truce.

Later the forces will be divided and dif

DEMOCRACY IN BAD WAY
GROSVJBXOR SAYS THE "PARTY IS
HOPELESSLY INSOLVENT. v
No Doabt All on t the- Republicans
Carrying the Elections What He
Thinks of. Tom Johnson.
ORE30NLN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. D. C, Sept 6. Representative
Groavenor of Ohio predicts that reci
procity with Cuba will be achieved at the
next session of Congress along the lines
reco'mmended by President Roosevelt Ha
declares the country ia thoroughly in ac
cord with the President in this matter,
pointing to the fact that gentlemen Who
have opposed reciprocity In the last ses
sion are having a serious time of It this
Summer. He does not' look for any action
on the tariff, however, saying: "It woUId
be unwise to unsettle business by a tariff
agitation."
Representative Grosvenor declares that
the country is going to indorse the Ad
ministration of President Roosevelt and
the course of the Republican majority In
Congress by the election of a Republican
House thia Fall.
"The Democratic party is, as Mr. Whit
ney declared," said he, "without an Issue
or a leader. In fact, it .Is hopelessly in
solvent, and if thrown into bankruptcy
could not pay the. assignee's fete."
Commenting upon Tom Johnson's recent
victory in Ohio, Grosvenor says:
"Tom Johnson's campaign Is not giv
ing us much concern. His "spectacular
pldn of getting votes Is not going to fool
the people. His hippodrome will create
some excitement and fun, but it will not
attract Democratic ballots. Tom Is cer
tain of one thing, however he will be
Bryan's- heir. The Nebraska gentleman
evidently means to force Johnson's nom
ination in 1904, and Johnson will probably
make as good a run as Bryan did In
1900. By declaring for Bryan and the free
coinage of Bilver, the . convention has
alienated all the conservative wheel
horses off the Democratic party. John R.
McLean and all of McLean's friends
have been trampled, upon, and Johnson
is running the whole machine. The man
he has nominated for Secretary of State,
Is a Bensatlonal street preacher of Cin
cinnati, and does not give any strength
to the ticket. . Johnson Is now trying to
say that he has not indorsed free silver,
but fhe fact is thsA three out of every
four of the Democratic county conven
tions declared for 16 to 1, and the conven
tion Blmply ratified the will of the county
voters."
Representative Hay Waxes Warm.
Representative Hay, of the Virginia
Congressional delegation, in a spirited In
terview today, comments sharply on
President Roosevelt, saying:
"The insistence of the President that
the Republicans shall have contests' In
all Congressional districts In "Virginia will
be of great help to the Democratic party,
as It will stir them up to more activity
than heretofore characterized them in
Congressional elections In off years. It
will have the further effect of aligning
the people of the state with the Demo
crats. Mr. Roceevelt Is not popular in
Virginia, owing to the arraignment of
Confederate soldiers as anarchists, and
to his bitter denunciation of our people
In his Arlington speech, to say nothing
of the Booker Washington dinner. I; the
people of Virginia believe, as they will,
that Mr. Roosevelt ia responsible for the
present Republican activity In the state,
they will be glad of an opportunity to re
buke him at the polls."

suit in unearthing a conspiracy systemat
Ically to mulct the county of hundreds of
thousands of dollars of taxes annually.
The men against whom true bill3 were
returned are: Luke Wheeler, charged with
forgery and conspiracy to defraud; Cap
tain Edwin Williams, manager of the 31a
sonic Temple, charged with uttering a
forged instrument, and with conspiracy;
James B. Hoey, conspiracy to defraud.
and John J. Holly, Jr., conspiracy to de
fraud the county.
According to the testimony given be
fore .the grand Jury, it Is supposed that
Wheeler was the leader In the alleged
conspiracy. Some time ago It was dis
covered that an entry, "Paid,"' had been
forged opposite an Item of nearly $27,000
on the tax-warrant book of the County
Treasurer. Michael G. Walsh gayo testi
mony before the grand Jury to the effect
that the Temple Association wished to
Issue several hundred thousand dollars
worth of new bonds to improve Its finan
cial condition, but that because the build
ing had been sold once before for' taxes,
trust companies would not float the bonds
unless the property was free from Hens,
It is alleged that bribes were offered to
county employes to make the forged entry
and that Luke Wheeler was the go-be
twoert.
Wheeler at present Is missing. Captain
Williams was arrested last Saturday, and
gave bonds for $5000 for his appearance.
Tho grand Jury, in connection with the
case, has Investigated a number of al
leged forged notes put out by Wheeler,
purporting to come from Influential busi
ness firms of this city. Testimony before
the Investigating body was to the effect
that Wheeler nad said he received the
notes for "taking . care" of property In
terest? before the State Board of Equal
ization when that body made the tax as
sessments.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man (or woman
who is subject to headache at Irregular
Intervals, goes through life bearing a load
of misery and wretchedness that , is ter
rible to think of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, less of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are excit
ing cavees. When the brain becomes tired
and debilitated, the whole nervous system
Is weakened, and headaches result. If the
liver Is sluggish, the kidneys Inactive, and
digestion deranged, headaches lnvarlably
follow. To cure arid prevent headache,
the nervous system must be strengthened
and vitalized. The most persistent cases
cf headache, nervous feebleness, and
sleeplessness ure permanently cured by
