• New York, March 15.—The torpedo
boat destroyers Drayton and Mac-
Dougal, two of the fastest in the Unit-
ed StateB navy, arrived here Satur-
day from Guantanamo, Cuba, to help
preserve neutrality regulations at this
port. They will stand guard iu the
lower harbor as a warning to. ships of
belligerent nations that they cannot
leave this port on other than peaceful
missions. Collector of the Port Ma-
lone has deprecated reports that the
neutrality situation here was critical.
An example of the vigilant harbor
watch that is being kept occurred
when the ‘Mohawk fired blank shots
to attract, attention as the Standard
Oil steamer John D. Archbold was
proceeding through the Narrows on
her way to Baton Rouge. ^The steam-
er apparently did not observe the Mo-
hawk’s flag signal. The shots quickly
brought her to a stop, a navy tug went
alongside and soon after the steamer
was allowed to proceed.

San Francisco, March 15.—The
spectacular career of Lincoln Bea-
chey, one of the most daring of
American aviators, was ended Sunday
when lie fell to his death at the Pan-
ama-Pacific exposition in sight of
thousands of spectators.
Beachey was completing his second
(light of the day when the accident
occurred. Having previously electri-
fied the crowds with a series of aerial
somersaults, the aviator sought to add
an additional thrill by making one of
the sensational perpendicular drops
which usually featured his (lights.
The fatal fall was attributed to the
fact that Beachey attempted his stunts
in a monoplane An exceptionally
large crowd had been attracted to the
fair grounds to see whether he would
attempt the same daring methods in
the new machine that he had perform-
ed in his trim little biplane.
On the first (light all went well and
the aviator’s familiar tricks were in-
dulged in with the expectation of the
perpendicular drop. This Beachey
had saved for the climax. It proved
too much of a strain for the frame of
the monoplane. The machine was at
an altitude of about 7000 feet when
Beachey shut off his power. For sev-
eral thousand feet it dropped head on
for the earth and then the aviator
grasped his control levers to udjust
the planes for the graceful descent
which had characterized his previous
flights.
At that point the wings crumbled
like an umbrella and the aeroplane,
turning over and over in its fall,
plunged into S.an Francisco bay, nar-
rowly missing a vessel lying at the
government transport docks.
Thousands of spectators rushed to
the nearby waterfront but with the
exception of a few splintered frag-
ments of the aeroplane floating on
the surface of the bay no sign of the
wrecked machine could be seen.
Launches put out immediately,
equipped with grappling hooks, and a
boat’s crew from the battleship Ore-
gon, which was anchored in the
stream a short distance away, joined
in an attempt to recover the body of
the aviator, who was strapped to his
machine under forty feet of water.
The body was recovered shortly af-
ter 5 o’clock
Divers from the Oregon searching
the shallow inshore waters of the bay
found the crushed form of the aviator
entangled In the twisted rods and tom
canvas of the machine. With axes the
divers freed the body from th<* wreck-
age and brought it to the surface.
Hillary Beachey, a brother of the
aviator, witnessed the tragedy, lie
was standing on the. deck of the Unit-
ed States transport Crook, watching
the flight.
That Bern bey still was alive when
he struck the water and had sustained
no material Injury as the result of the
fall except a broken leg. was the opin-
ion expressed by Dr. Itavid B. Staf-
ford. autopsy surgeon. The fac<\ said
Dr. Stafford. was discolored from
|choking and strangling, indicating
deatli was due to drowning. Cuts on
the aviator's hands were taken to In-
dicate that he had made desperate ef-
forts to release himself. When the

Rome, March 15.—A Trieste corres-
pondent reports that Emperor Franz
Josef received in audience Baron Von
Burian, minister of affairs, who sub-
sequently presided over a cabinet
council and conferred with the Ger-
man ambassador.
Baron von Burian communicated to
the Emperor Prince Von Bulow’s pro-
posal for averting Italy's intervention
by the immediate cession of the Tren-
tino and rectification of the Italo-
Austrian frontier. Despite the urgent
solicitations of the Kaiser, the Emper-
or absolutely refused to sanction any
cession of territory to Italy and in-
sisted on Prince Von Bulow’s negotia-
tions with the Italian government be-
ing broken off.
Since this decision is irrevocable
and has been approved by all the min-
isters, including Baron Von Buriati
himself, who formerly was iu favor of
Prince Von Bulow's proposal, a spe-
cial foreign office messenger has been
sent to Romo as bearer of the Emper-
or’s refusal. The latter will shortly
be announced in the press and the mo-
tives will then be explained.
Meanwhile Germany Is said to have
been called upon to send Bavarian
troops to the Tyrol, where the concen-
tration has already been started, and
the fortifications of the Trentino are I
expected to be fully manned within a
week.
AM the stab* and municipal employ-
es of Trieste, including the police, are
compelled to take oath that in case
the government is changed and a for-
eign power occupies the city by force
oi arms, they will refuse to continue
their service and leave the city.
Italy t un Not Accept.
By the Asuortutrit Pres*.
Home, March 15.—It is now author-
itatively denied that the Emperor of
Austria lias refused to make any ter-
ritorial concessions to Italy as the
price of her neutrality: but it also Is
said that what he Is willing to grant
is so small that Italy cannot accept
