DESTRUCTION of BRAZILIAN
CRUISER SAID TO HAVE BEEN
DUE TO CONSPIRACY.
"•If4
EXPLOSION IN POWDER
MAGAZINE THE CAUSE
Revised Estimate Places Number of
Dead at 212—Injured Number 36
and Rescued 98—Four High Ad
mirals Among Victims.
Rio Janeiro, Jan. 24.—Developments
regarding ihe destruction of the ar
mored cruiser Aquidaban. sunk as Uie
result of an explosion while at anchor
•at Port Jacarepaqua. near here, point
to a plot possibly due to anarchists or
to those who desire the restoration of
the monarchy.
The cause of the disaster is now
definitely known to be due to an explo
sion in the powder magazine of the
ivessel. The fatalities, however, were
slightly overestimated. A revised esti
mate puts the list of dead at 212, either
killed instantly or drowned. Thirty
six were injured and 98 saved.
Every Officer Killed.
Practically every officer was either
killed or injured. Among the dead are
the four highest officers in the Brazil
dan navy. They are: Rear Admiral
Jose da Rocha, Rear Admiral Francisco
•Calherros da Graca, Rear Admiral Joas
Candldo Brazil, and Capt. Alves de
Larrigo.
That so many distinguished Brazil
ians were on board the Aquidaban is
due to the fact that a visit of inspec
tion for the purpose of selecting a
site for a new arsenal was being made
•by the minister of marine and his staff.
No secret was made of the trip or of
the personnel of the party. The min
ister of marine was on board the
•cruiser Barroso, but lack of accommo
datlons forced others of the party to
take up quarters on the Aquidaban.
.Strong Feeling Against Government.
Jtor months there has been strong
(dissatisfaction with existing conditions,
dp a measure growing out of what is
'considered a vacillating policy pursued
toy the government in its relations with
putslde- countries. This is accentuated
by a strong loyalist sentiment that
pervades all classes, despite the fact
that the republic Is regarded as estab
lished for all time.
Anarchists, driven from Europe and
the United States, have for months
|fteen gathering in this city, the gov
ernment practically paying no atten
tion to them.
Jt is to these two widely differing
classes that the disaster to the Aqul
rtaban is attributed. The cause was at
first ascribed to the explosion of the
boilers, but It now seems established
from fragmentary stories told by sur
ylvors that the sinking ot the vessel

morning on a special train from Chi
cago. They were met at the station
by Mr. Denby, chief clerk of the state
department, who will look after their
comfort during the ten days that they
will be in the capital. Mr. Denby was
chosen for this work on account of his
knowledge of the Chinese language
and customs. The commission con
sists of about 60 people, several of
whom are servants and secretaries.
The leaders of the commission are
Tuan Fang, the governor of the Shan

China's leading scholars. Yung Kwal.
the secretary-interpreter of the Chi
nese legation in this city, accompanied
the commission, having gone to Chi

traveled under the care of Prof. Jenks,
the economist of Cornell university,
who was appointed by the United
States government as its special repre
sentative to receive the commission
in San Francisoo and look after their
interests while in this country. Prof.

carriages which were waiting for them
and drove to the Arlington, the Chi

to contain room for so many guests.

WOMAN FREED
IOWA SENATORS SIGN PACT FOB
ALLEGED MURDERESS.
ACTION CAUSES SENSATION
Presentation of Petition to State Leg
islators Followed by Greater Ex
citement When Acceptance
Is Made Unanimous.
(Russell Woodard, Staff Correspondent.)
Des Moines, la., Jan. 22.—Influenced
by a mammoth petition, pyshed by
friends of Mrs. Tolla, the New Jersey
woman condemned to die for the mur
der of Joseph Sontarea, the members
of the Iowa senate have gone on rec
ord as opposed to the legal execution
of the alleged murderess.
This was done by the upper house
Bolons signing a petition for the full
and complete pardon of the woman,
who was soon to be executed in New
Jersey. The signatures of the Iowa
eolons have been forwarded to Gov,
Stokes of New Jersey, and what the in
I fluence of the senators will be remains
to be seen. Another petition for the
same purpose—that of freeing the con
victed woman—has already secured
10,000 names, and It Is believed that
this had great effect on the action of
the upper house members of the legis
lature.
The decision of the senators was
unanimous, not one of them refusing
to attach^ his signature to the paper
which means so much to Mrs. Tolla,
Something of a sensation was caused
among the legislators, when the docu
ment ^yas taken into the senate cham?
ber, and when the members placed
themselves on record as favoring the
woman's pardon the excitement was
even more intense. Predictions were
made that the senators would refuse
to dabble In the affairs of another
state, but the solons laid aside all
precedents and affixed their signatures
with but little persuasion. There was
not a dissenting voice in the whole
gathering. The move has been pushed
to a great extent here in Des Moines,
and the culmination of the petition in
the senate is looked upon as probably
the greatest sensation of the 1906
meeting.
Solons Back from Junket Trip.
After a recess of over foup days the
legislature met on Tuesday and held
|tself in readiness to hear the reports of

Stakes Hazing Prison Offense,
As a result of an attempted hazing
of Clifford Holmes, a student of Iowa
College of Agriculture at Ames, whq
had not yet recovered from severe
attack of appendicitis, a bill was In*
troduced in the house by Representa*
tive Greeley, of Story county, making
hazing In high schools and colleges
punishable by 80 days' Imprisonment
and a fine of $100.
An effort was made to keep the
case of young Holmes quiet, but It
leaked out and has caused muoh in
dlgnatlon.
The agricultural college is a state
institution and there is now strong
talk of a legislative investigation of
the affair.
Plan to Amend Hughes Bill.
The Hughes anti-pass bill, which is
reposing with the railroad committee
In the senate, is causing a large
amount of talk among the solons of
the house as well as the senate,' and
opposers ^of the measure have un
earthed the fact that if this idea wer(j
made a law the famous "e^ed corn
specials," conducted by Prof. Hqlden
of Ames, would be a thing of the past.
Advocates of the measure declare tlia"|
amendments may be attached tq t^e
bill, whereby these features of Iowa
farm districts can be carried on In
the usual manner. The Hughes bill
applies solely to public officers, but
it effectually cuts off the seed corn leo
tures, and ft is suggested that an
amendment be made In the case of
educational institutions conducting
scientific work. It is believed that this
would effectually obliterate that un
savory feature of the bill,
