dred bales of cotton stored in the low-
er hold of the White Star Liner Cre-
tic caught fire early today as the ves-
sel lay at her pier under steam and
ready to weigh anchor for Genoa. Sev-
eral hundred Italian reservists, crowd-
ed into the steerage overnight, were
routed by smoke and fled in scant at
tire to the pier.
The fire gained headway repldly.
Within fifteen minutes from the time
that the first wisp of smoke curled up
from the second hatchway therlaze in
the hold appeared table a roaring fur-
trace and a heavy cloud of smoke hung
over the river. Owing to the length
of the pier and other obstacles the fire-
men were unable to get stream intoithe
Cretic's hold until fireboats came up
and flooded the decks. In an hour and

were able to play their hose directly on

ered to an ofitcial of the . Fair-field
County Home, Norwalk, from which
institution the boys ran away Wed-
nesday night.
The boys left the Home about ten
o'clock at night and according to their
story, walked towaflrd's Danbury the
greater part of the night. They found
a pile of hay in a field and slept there
a few hours. Very early in the morn-
ing they renewed their journey to-
wards Danbury, the former home of
one of the runaways. How early they
started can be Judged from the fact
that. they arrived here shortly after
four o'clock. They did not stay in the
outskirts and: dually made a camp in
the .woods' near the home of W. A
Wildman, in Hayestown district.
The police were notified of the pres-
ence of the boys and Detective Ser-
geant Baker and Patrolman Bernie 8
Bradley made a trip to the Camp In
reply to questions the boys told who
they were and where they came from.
They were brought to the police sta-
tion and the officials of the Home noti-
fied. This forenoon a man came to
take the runaways back.
One of the lads was barefoot and his
feet were terribly swollen as the re-
sult of mus nearly twenty-five mile
walk. The other lads appeared to be
enjoying their escapade and this fore-
noon, after breakfast, laughed and fro.
licked in the cell corridor and were
evidently having a good time.

”According to a «prearranged plan sevéflhlhqdadt‘ons
of Cossacks and artillery, simulating retreat, began to
fall back rapidly under cover of the infantry.
“The Austrians rose to the bait and emerged from
their trenches in pursuit inthe direction of a small river
where companies of Russian infantry checked the furious .
Austrian onslaught. Cossacks and artillery, crossing, by
a lIridge,-c.ntrctIclIed themselves on the opposite bank,
posting guns, while the artillery heid their guns in
trenches under the bushes unperceived by this enemy.
“When the preparations were complete for the en-
emy’s reception, the infantry hurriedly retreated to the
opposite bank whérc they pretended to set fire to the
bridge as though intending to cut OR the enemy's ad-
vance. ‘
“The Austrian troops, seeing before them a small-
body‘ of Russians. blindly charged. The enemy's infantry
with shouts of victory, approached the bridge while their
cavalry dashed through the river. '
“Suddenly a terrific explosion was

umns IIas blown to pieces. while on the opposite bank
the Russian guns and quick fircrs scattered death
