Chief Engineer Stevens Will So Ad- vise Commission. Washington, Dec. 28.—Chairman Shonts, accompanied by Chief Engi- neer J. F. Stevens of the isthmian canal commission, have arrived in ‘Washington. Mr. Stevens has come ta ‘Washington to give his views to the commission on the type of canal that should be constructed. 'His advice to the commission will be based upon his study of the great engineering prob- lem, as he has been on the ground for several months. Mr. Stevens, it may be definitely stated, is in favor of a lock canal and at a moderately high level. He will recommend to the commission the con: struction of a lock canal for a num- ber of reasons, which he is prepared to present, but principally because, in his opinion, ‘the cost and length of time which will be required for build- ing such a canal can be estimated with a great degree of definiteness, while the cost and time required for constructing a sea level canal pre- sents a problem so indefinite that in his opinion its consideration is not advisable. RESIGNATION REQUESTED. Indiana’s Ccvernor Would Oust Sec- retary of State. Indianapolis, Dec. 28.—The News says: It developed during the day that Governor Hanly has asked for the res- ignation of Daniel E. Storms, secretary of state.

Mr. Storms, as has been stated, owed the state on Oct. 1, when his quarter- ly settlement was due, the sum of $77,000. To raise the amount he turned over to J. J. Appell as trustee securities on which $41,000 was realized and the balance was bor- rowed from friends of the secretary of state. The next settlement is due om ENTERS GENERAL DENIAL, Brennan on the Stand in Her Own Defense, Minneapolis, Dec. 28.—Mrs. Stella Brennan, on trial for the murder of her three stepchildren, took the stand in her own defense during the day.

ALARMING EXTENSION OF STRIKE NEWS, FROM RUSSIAN PROVINCES GCF A MOST DISQUIETING CHARACTER. Moscow, Dec. 28.—The cannonading continues and the list of casualties is swelling. The revolutionists are op- erating in three sections. There are about 1,600 of them in each section. They are all armed with revolvers and rifles. The women who are participat- ing in the fighting are guilty of the worst cruelties, ~ St Petersburg, Dec. 25.—A brief message from Moscow says that troops with artillery are pouring into the city, but that the situation has not greatly changed. The revolutionists hold portions of the Moscow-Kazan road. Desultory firing is taking place. The military patrols are engaged in guerrilla warfare with the revolution- ists, who are seeking, refuge on the | roofs of houses and in the narrow thoroughfares. Following the example of the au- thorities at Moscow about haif the populace of St. Petersburg are now armed with rifles and the unwonted spectacle of policemen with bayonets on their rifies adds to the public alarm. The news from the provinces shows an alarming extension of the strike. Kovnn, a tortress town of Lithuania having about 80,000 inhabitants, seems absolutely in the hands of the social- ists, wno have summoned the people to an armed resistance and the situa- tion is so serious at Krementchug, Bouth Russia, that the governor has declared martial law, The situation is really far more seri- ous in the Baltic provinces, Caucasia and other non-Russian provinces, where the entire population is hostile. In the case of the Baltic provinces it is realized that it may be necessary to practically reconquer them. FRIGHTFUL BLOODSHED. Casualties at Moscow Will Fifteen Thousand. St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.—An inspired statement in the Slovo says the gov- ernment expects the revolt at Moscow to be completely crushed within four days. The duration of the rising is explained by the small number of troops available. Many of the soldiers necessarily were employed in guard- ing the government buildings, leaving & comparatively small number avail- ®mble to cope with the insurgents over the wide area of the disturbance. Fresh troops have now arrived and the end is said to be near. From an independent source the . Slovo declares it has learned that the bloodshed at Moscow has been fright- ful and that the casualties will reach 15,000 and that about 100 Red Cross workers have been dispatched ‘from St. Petersburg to Moscow to aid in caring for the wounded. The paper also says it has learned that the arms of the revolutionists mostly came from Germany and Belgium, whence they were shipped to England, transshipped there and smuggled into. Russia through Finland and the Baltic prov- inces. The information of other papers is that, -while admitting that the revolu- tionists are showing signs of exhaus- tion, they do not regard the issue as decided. The Molva (Russ), which reappeared during the day, fans the flames by holding out encouragement for the success of the revolt. The paper declares that the area of the fighting is increasing instead of dimin- Ishing and asserts that the insurgents are holding six miles of barricades. In spite of the bad prospects here the leaders of the revolutionists are ! continuing their desperate efforts to bring on a general conflict. Reach OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED. N Ambulance Stations Established at Warsaw. ‘Warsaw, Russian Poland, Dec. 28.— The shops in the Jewish district are closed and bands of revolutionists or- dered the banks to be closed. Alarm- Ing rumors of a coming outbreak are. In circulation. Maxim guns have been posted at all the police stations, the police have ordered all the doors of houses to he locked, the union of phy- sicians has requested its members to I be ready for emergencies and sixty embulance stations have been estab- lished throughout the city. The sultan of Moroeco has objectedl to the selection of Madrid as the place for holding the Moroccan conference and has again offered: the hospitality of Tangier to the delegates, OPEN FIGHT FOR CONTROL OFFICIAL CABLE EXPLAINS PRES. ENT DISTURBANCE IN - SANTO DOMINGO. ‘Washington, Dec. 28.—The state de. partment has received a cable from San Domingo which throws much i needed light on the revolutionary dis. turbance reported from there. These were to the effect that the diplomatic corps had been notified by the Dmnin-i ican minister for foreign affairs that the president (Morales) having aban- doned the capital, leaving the govern- ment without an active head, the cab- inet had called upon the vice presi: dent (General Caceres) to take charge pending the temporary failure of the president to exercise his functions, The city of Santo Domingo was quiet and the cabinet officers were exercis- ing their functioms without interrup- tion, President Morales was reported to be at Jaima, ten or twenty miles from the capital, among a band of revolu tionists who were fighting there. As the situation is understood here there has been no actual change in the dominant party in Santo Domingo as the result of Morales’ abandonment, The fact is the party known as Hora- cia, of which General Caceres, the vice president, is the principal figure, has all along controlled the cabinet and this cabinet in turn, owing to the pecu. liarity of the Dominican constitution, has completely dominated the presi- dential office. As Morales was ambi- tious to conduct his own government he fell under suspicion of disloyalty to his party and also was suspected of intending to join the opposition or Jiminez party. Finding himself with- out power because the cabinet con- trolled the party Morales anticipated removal by the party leaders and fled to the revolutionists with the inten- tion of securing a sufficient force to re-enter the capital and drive out his enemies.

His disease, which is very painful, began to attack the heart. The patient failed rapidly and became unconscious.

Loomis was called to his patient’s side gnd other physicians joined him in conference. Their ef- forts proved successful in staying the progress of the disease for a time and about midnight Mr. Yerkes rallied. The physicians agreed that he prob- ably would survive for another day, but did not think he would live mpre than two davs. T [ women and children fought for a chance to escape from the fire that they supposed had broken out in the building and in the crush about the doorways several were injured, al though not seriously.
