SCENLS OF fJLOOO.
Eye Witness Describe Condition at
Soldlce, Hussia.
Warsaw, Hept. 12. With the sanc
tion of the authorities, who provided
an aimed guard for the mission, the
Associated Press correspondent visited
Hiedlce, the scene of the murderous
events of September 8, 0 and 10. The
railroad rt at ion at Hiedlce, when the
correspondent arrived, was crowded
with Jews, among whom were many
starving women with infants in their
arms.
Almost on the moment there fell
upon the frightened people the sound
of a volley being fired In town, which
lies half a mile back of the station. A
panic ensued, men trembling with fear
and women Imploring the soldiers for
mercy, anticipating the Rlaughter of
their loved ones and themselves.
Gendarmes on guard at the station en
tered the waiting room and roughly or
dered the people to be quiet, assuring
them that their alarm was needless.
Proceeding to the town, the corre
spondent traversed Warsaw street,
which presented a desolate aspect, the
stores and shops being closed and all of
them showing signs of having been
plundered. Pictures of saints were
hanging outside the windows of many
bonnes, mute appeals to the soldiery
and looters to spare the inmates.
Kverwyhere in the street were to be
seen soldiers ready to fire on the least
provocation. The streets were littered
with Jews' hats, totn clothing and
damaged carts.
The most severe damage had been
done in Pienka etieet, w here the houses
were riddled with bullets and in many
instances walls had been demolished
with cannon shot.
liy actual count 140 corpses were
picked up in the streets nd it is stated
that as many more bodies are hidden
in cellars. Only one Christian is
known to have been killed, and, so far
as learned, no soldiers were killed.
Trainloads of fugetives are leaving
Hiedlce for the south.
A Jewish child who begged permis
sion of a military oliicer to search for
his parents was kicked away by the
oliicer. The undisciplined soldiery
acted with the utmost brutality all
through the trouble.
Here in Warsaw there are some fears
of an outbreak.
WARSHIP ON WAY.
Rootsvelt Orders Cruiser Des Moines
to Cuban Capital.
Washington, Sept. 12. It was offi
cially admitted today that the Ameri
can cruiser Des Moines, which sailed
yesterday hastily from Norfolk, had
gone southward to Key West with the
ultimate intention of proceeding to Ha
vana if developments within the next
two days seem to warrant such action.
At Key West the Dea Moines will be
about eight hours run from Havana
and, while waiting, Commander Hal
aey will be in close communication
with the Navy department, prepared to
carry out immediately any request from
tiie State department.
There ia no intention in this move
ment of the Des Moines to show par
tiality toward one side or the other in
the-piesent conflict in Cuba. The ship
will be at Havana to serve as an asy
lum in case of need, and te at the dis
position of the American charge.
In case the United States govern
ment finds it necessary to intervene in
Cuban 8 flairs under the provisions of
the Piatt amendment, forces which
would have to be used for that purpose
would be found in a much better date
of preparation than when hostilities
began between the United States and
Spain. The long military occupation
of Cuba by the United States troops
afforded an opportunity to army officers
tu become familiar with the island,
and probably no part of the earth ia
better known to the military authori
ties of the United States than the is
land of Cuba. In addition to tbe fa
miliarity of the army officesr with the
geography and general conditions of
Cuba, all of the supply departments
are better equipped.
Great Reception for Root.
Cartegens, Colombia, 8ept. 12.
General Reyeo, president of Colombia,
has arrived here to take charge of the
arrangements for tbe reception of Sec
retary Root. Mr. Root will be pressed
to land and spend several days. John
Harrett, United States minister, is also
here. The populace is enthusiatsic,
the belief being current fiat Secretary
Root's visit will presage the coming of
entente cordiale between Colombia and
Panama, who have ben estranged
since the revolution of Panama in
1002.
Must See Meat Is Labeled.
Washington, Sept. 12. A number of
representatives of railroads met at the
Department of Agriculture today and
conferred with the secretary regarding
the duties imposed upon them by the
new meat inspection law. They were
shown samples of the labels, which
will be required to be placed on various
meat products, and were given to un
derstand that before they accept con
signments of meat for interstate ship
ment eee that proper labels are attached.
Bandits Loot Bank at Kieff.
Kieff, Sept. 12. At Bjeljazerkov yes
terday a band of armed rough attacked
the local bank in full view of many
people and got off with $40,000. One
bystander waa killed and one of the
robbers, fearing capture, committed
uloide.
MARTIAL LAW NOW
Palma Is Determined to Crush
Cuban Rebellion.
LIBERAL LEADERS ARE ARRESTED
Province of Pinar del Rio, Havana
and Santa Clara are Scene of
Worst Disorder.
Havana, Hept. 11. President Palma
tonight isued a decree suspending all
constitutional guarantees, with special
reference to articles 16, 17, 19, 22, 23,
24 and 27 ia the provinces of Pinar del
Kio, Havana and Santa Clara. The
law enforcing public order, which ia
equivalent to martial law, also is put
in immediate effect in the three prov
inces named.
A lupplemental decree has been issu
ed Suspending the decree of August 28
pardoning repentant rebels and order
ing that all rebels be arrested and
jailed.
Iloth decrees have been communicat
ed to all officers in the field.
Coincident with the issuance of the
decrees, which followed tonight's de
cision not to yield to the peace de
mands, the government ordered the ar
rest of practically every prominent Lib
eral. Alfredo Z iyas, president of the
Liberal party, and several other Liber
al leaders have disappeared.
Havana and Santa Clara provinces
are quiet, but Santiago is reported un
easy. Americans at Santiago state that
the report that an army could be raised
in Eastern Cuba to squelch Onerrera is
groundless, as the sentiment of the peo
ple there ia very largely anti-government,
although aa yet not belligerent.
A dispatch from Manzanilla states
that two editors, four city officials and
several other Liberals have left that
town to organize a rebel band.
KILL OFF REDS.
Governor of Seidlice, Russia, Turn
Cannon on Terrorists.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 11. Advices
from KeidL-e received during the night
are to the effect that fighting and bom
barding of houses, which ceased about
midday on Monday, waa resumed late
in the afternoon, apparently in conse
quence of Oovernor Engelke'a demand
tiiat the Jewish and Polish populace
deliver np to him the members of the
Jewish Self Defense association. The
bund refused this, preferring death in
the open to a tame surrender, and re
sumed the battle. Artillery waa again
brought into action, but it ia not known
if the fighting etill continues.
It is impossible to obtain full details
of the events at Seidlce, as the authori
ties absolutely forbid communication
and turn back all correspondents. Tbe
Associated Press correspondent at War
saw, after several times vainly endeav
oring to enter the stricken town of
Seidlce, was obliged to give up the
effort at midnight.
At Rudgnsowska, 40 miles east of
Warsaw, which is the site of the great
Syzradow mills, conditions similar to
those at Seidlce were witnessed. The
soldiers are said to have killed 40 per
sons. Fugetives from Seidlce report that
Governor Engelke issued an ultimatum
declaring that he would bombard the
whole town unless the terrorists sur
rendered. In consequence of the pillage
and destruction, the peasants are Buf
fering for food and water.
A telegram received here late laBt
night from Seidlce, from a resident who
succeeded in smuggling it through the
censorship, says that pillaging com
menced Saturday night instead of Sun
day, and after a few minutes filing iu
Warsaw street the soldiers broke into
gin shops, became drunk and then en
tered indiscriminately the apartments
of houses of all classes, killing, pillag
ing and committing under cover of the
walls the most heinous crimes. The
number of victims ia unknown, but it
ia placed at 100. Most of the corpses
are hidden in the ruins of houses.

Han Francisco, Sept. 11. The Pacific
Coast Steamship company's steamer
City of Topeka dragged her way Into
port at noon today, two great holes in
her side and the men at the pumps.

Point Arena in (he early morning ami
had come within an ace of going to the
bottom.
It waa 3 o'clock thia morning when
the vessel, toand to San Francisco
from Eureka crowded with passengers,
was cautiously feeling her way through
a thick fog near I'oini Arena. For some
reason yet unexplained, the lighthouse
whistle was as silent as the grave. A
strong current was running and the
greatest caution was being taken aboard
the steamer.
Suddenly with a crash the steamer
impaled herself on the rocky reef
which juts out from the land at this
point, the rocks which have sent a
many good vessel to the depths. In an
instant the passengers hurried in their
night attire to the deck, but Captain
Swanson with quick orders prevneted a
serious panic.
The vessel paused a moment in the
rocks, and then, caught by a great wave,
rose higher in the air and settled high
er up on the rjeks. The situation
looked desperate, and life preservers
were seiiwl and the lifeboats swung
into position.
Another great wave cauht the ship
and threw her clear of the reef. The
captain manned the pumps, reassured
the passengers and brought the vessel
safely into the harbor. She shows two
gaping wounds and will be out of com
mission for a considerable period.
ANFLOOS KNOWS NO SULTAN.
Berber Chief Gives Short Reply to
British Consul's Protest.
London, Sept. 11. The Times' Tan
gier correspondent says there is consid
erable anxiety at the foreign legations
and in official circles regarding the
events at Mogador, from which there
has been no news since the dispatch of
September 4, asking for assistance,
were received.
"The troops were only persuaded to
embark from here," the correspondent
declares, "by promises of an opportun
ity for deserting on their arrival at Mo
gador. "A resident of Mogador, who arrived
here by steamer, says that the Berber
Chief Anfloos has capture! the town,
has forced all the Jews into tbe Jewish
quarter and is putting his own people
into the vacant houses. One British
subject protected a Jewish merchant,
who bad reiused to abandon his house
and had been forcibly evicted. When
the consul protested and asked Anfloos
if he bad the sultan's authority, An
floos replied that be acknowledged no
sultan. This passenger reports that
tbe entire garrison of Mogador went to
Anfloos, but that apparently no lives
bad been lost."

There have been huh worshipers

iiiwnys been recognized ns the source
of life n lid light, of health mid happi
ness on the earth. Vet It Is only re
cently that science ha found the ex
planation of thin world feeling, and has
learned how and why the light of the
sun Li life giving and lifc-sa ving. It Is
only within the last quarter of a cen
tury that the medical profession has
discovered that the cause of the great
pl.igucs of mankind consumption, ty
phoid fever, pneumonia, cholera, small
pox, yellow fever, and all the Infec
tious and contagious diseases Is due
to the presence within the human body
of micro-organism. These organism
constitute the lowest forms of animal
or vegetable life single cells, Invisible
to the nuked eye, which are reproduced
with frightful rapidity when sown on
a favorable soil.
I'.y Itself the knowledge of this fact
would cause despair if there were noth
ing t arrest the Increase of the germs.
Hut fortunately is was found nt the
same time that there are forces in man
and In nature warring against the mi
nute enemies, and that one of the most
powerful of such protectors Is the light
of the fun.
It 18 now known that sunlight Is one
of the most potent of all the destroyers
of dlsease-gerrus. It kills them more
certainly than do the strongest disin
fectants. The bacteria that cause pneu
monia, for example, are destroyed with
in less than an hour when exposed to
the direct rays of the sun, and live but
little longer In the diffused light which
fills a roitin on a bright day.
This knowledge has been turned to
practical account in the treatment of
many diseases, especially of the skin
and superficial parts of the body. In
lupus, for example, which Is a form of
tuberculosis of the skin, a positive cure
tuny result from exposure of the dis
eased part to the direct rays of the
sun.
The healing of wounds Is promoted
by light ; and boils, erysipelas and va
rious Inflammations of the skin have
been cured by the same means. The
?uratlve effect is sometimes obtained by
simple exposure to direct sunlight, but
the best results are brought about by
meuns of lenses which concentrate the
chemical rays and exclude those of

BEAUTIFUL CASS LAKE.
An I'ndlaroTered Country In
th
GeoKraphr of the Camper.
Beautiful Cass Lake, set In an emer
ald wreath of 0,400 acres of giant Nor
way and white pines, contains aa
Island of 1,200 acres known as Star
Island, because Its five wooded point
Jutting out Into the lake give It th
shape of a star, says the St Paul Pio
neer Press. Here also the white pines
and giant Norway constitute a bit of
the forest primeval. And within this
Island is yet another lake, the crystal
waters of which reflect vividly the
evergreen forest that gtrts Its shores.
This inner lake is variously known as
Lake Helen and Lake Wlndlgo. The
latter name was given to It by the In
dians and Js said to mean the place
of the evil spirit, though the fitness of
the name Is certainly not apparent ia
the quiet and peaceful surroundings of
Its placid waters. This lake, which Is
about a mile In circumference, Is al
most circular and has no visible outlet
or inlet Its surface Is at all times
higher than that of the surrounding
lakes.
The forest on Star Island Is one of
Its greatest attractions. Many of tha
trees are two feet through the butt
and are capable of being cut Into flva
or six sixteen-foot logs. Norway plna
predominates, although many white
pines are to be seen.
There is llttie undergrowth on tha
Island, the surface of which Is com
paratively even, making It an easy mat
ter to traverse it In nil directions.
There are high bluffs overlooking Cass
Lake which make Ideal points ou which
to pitch a camp. From these bluffs tha
surface generally slopes gradually to
the shores of Lake Helen. There ara
springs containing the purest of drjnk
Ing water aud wells are easily sunk at
all points. From the bluffs the view
of Cass Lake, with Its numerous bays
and inlets and background of pine for
est, Is enchanting.
Tbe primeval forest 6tretches Away
with magnificent sweep to the horizon,
and nothing in the surroundings sug
gests the presence of civilized man
save the occasional boat of a fisherman.
Star Island is a part of the ten sec
tions, 6,400 acres, forever set apart as
a forest reserve by the government.
Splendid as this spot is for campina
purposes. probably less than a dozeu
parties availed themselves of Its advan
tages last season. The truth Is tha
spot has not been sought out by outing
parties. So far as the great body of
summer tourists is concerned, Star
Island is yet undiscovered country.
Here are all the advantages that go to
make an Ideal camping spot pure air,
cool, pure water, evergreen forests,
high, dry land on which to pitch tha
tent, myriad lakes and streams and
fisherman' and sportsman's paradise.
Added to these advantages Is the fact
that the reservation Is constantly under
the police protection of Uncle Sam,
which reduces the risk from forest flres
and other perils to a minimum. All
the camper Is required to do Is to get
permit from the government; agree to
exercise proper care lu regard to canin
Area and not to Injure the tree
