Plttsburg, Aug. 22.—Three men are dead, two are in a serious condition and nine others were rendered uncon- scious by a blowour of accumulated \ gas at the Eliza furnaces of the Jones Clara, accompanied by a band of in-{ & Laughlin Steel company at Soho, surgents. Previous to this definite Information there have been a number of rumors, hitherto authoritatively de- | nied, that General Gomez was plan- ning to lead a revolution in Cuba and his visit to the United States last winter is said to have been for the purpose of purchasing arms, which also was denied. The authorities of Santa Clara prov- fnce have been ordered to arrest Gen- eral Gomez. His secretary, Juan Men- cla, has been arrested at Guanabacoa. The latter had long been under the surveillance of the police on account of his connection with the movement at Guanabacoa in February last, which resulted in the rural guards capturing a camp of outlaws, a dozen horses and a quantity of provisions, after a fight in which a number of rural guards were killed or wounded. Several armed men were arrested on the roads leaving this city. Many people are coming into Ha- vana, fearing to remain in the coun- try. A band of about a dozen armed in- surgents, while endeavoring to pass unobserved near the city waterworks at Palatino, were ordered to halt. They replied with a volley and then disappeared. The authorities are endeavoring to prevail upon young men to volunteer here for service in the rural guards. The inhabitants of the province of Pinar del Rio are alarmed and are concentrating in the towns. Where they do not flock to the towns they are taking their horses and cattle into the houses to prevent them from be- ing stolen. It is feared the city of Pinar del Rio will be occupied by the insurgents shortly. NO INTERFERENCE INTENDED. Washington Believes Cuba Able to Put Down Rebeliion, ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—There is no disposition on the part of the state de- partment to interfere in Cuban revolu- tlonary affairs. The department is without information concerning the unsettled condition in Cuba, aside from press dispatches and the dispatch received from the American charge d’affaires at Havana. The department regards the island republic as fully capable of protecting itself against the insurrectionists. [ Pt PULAJANES "SUPPRESSED. Official Report Says Insurrection Has Been Stamped Out, ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—The Pulajane insurrection in the island of Samar is believed to be about stamped out. Colonel C. A. Williams, commanding the department of the Visayas, in his report to the war department, says: “The large tract in the northwest of the island, together with the Catu- big and Oras districts, are in as paci- fied or settled condition as at any time since the insurrection, the offi- cers in charge reporting that no organ- ized bands of Pulajanes are now out. - Two-thirds or more of the island is in a condition which would not justify the asking by civil authorities for as- sistance from the army.” this elty. The men were dumping ore and coke into the furnace from the top when the explosion occurred. Flames shot upward and enveloped Andrew Marsley in the deadly fumes and he fell over unconscious, His brother George went to his assistance, but he, too, was overcome and Michael Boise, who followed him, was also rendered insensible.

BUILDINGS REMAINING STAND- ING AT VALPARAISO DAM. AGED BEYOND REPAIR. MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND DEAD LATEST ESTIMATE OF LOSS QF LIFE IN ALL THE STRICKEN CITIES OF CHILE. g ' Bantiago, Chile, Aug. 22.—The peo- {ple arriving here from Valparaiso esti- ‘mate that 82 per cent of the buildings in the Terremote district of that city have been destroyed. All reports agree in saying that the Almendral and the southern districts of Val- paralso suffered the most severely. According to some of the reports Val- paraiso may be sald to have been to- tally destroyed, it being asserted that jearly all the houses which remained standing having been so shaken that they must be pulled down. One of the ‘travelers who arrived here during the day says that more than 300 persons were killed in that part of Valparaiso known as the port and that 800 per- sons were injured there, but it is im- possible to verify his statement. The majority of the inhabitants of Valparaiso are camped on the hills surrounding that city, in the parks and thoroughfares or have sought refuge on board vessels at anchor in the bay. A consewvative estimate places the number of homeless people at 60,000 and’ the distress, which is already great, is Increasing. COMPLETELY DESTROYED. Town of Quillota, With Population of Ten Thousand. Lima, Peru, Aug. 22.—There was another heavy earthquake shock at Valparaiso during the night. According to the latest reports re- ceived here from the scene of the earthquake the town of Quillota, situ- ated about twenty-six miles from Val- paraiso and having a population of some 10,000 souls, has been completely destroyed. MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND LATE ESTIMATE OF NUMBER OF DEAD AT VALPARAISO AND ELSEWHERE. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 22.—The Na- ohion publishes a special dispatch from La Paz, Bolivia, announcing that 2,000 persons lost their lives as a re- sult of the earthquake shocks and fires at Valparaiso, that 170 deaths from the same causes occurred at Limache, 40 at Quillota, 35 at Conchali, 11 at Petaroa, 90 at La Placilla and 6 at La Calera. On Sunday last, Aug. 19, there was a strong convulsion at Valparalso, ‘which produced a further panic. The Chilean ministry of the interior reports that the railroad from Tiltil to Batuco is working regularly, but that from Tiltil to Santlago the line is mot working. At Colina, Batuco, Polipico and Tiltil the railroad sta- tions, stores and dwellings have all been destroyed. The president of Chile has ordered the immediate con- struction of provisional buildings of wood and zinc in order to house the homeless. Military engineers are now repairing the railroads and telegraph lines. The authorities at Valparaiso are or- ganizing distributing centers where food and medicine will be served to the earthquake sufferers. The latter are displaying exemplary patriotism and courage. Large parties of convicts who es- caped from the prisons have been committing robberies and other crimes at Valparaiso, Casa Blarnca and Vina del Mar, but the majority of them have been captured and summarily deait with. Upwards of fifty have been publicly shot and this severe ac- tion upon the part of the authorities is exercising a salutary effect on the convicts who are still at large. MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE.

Some of the buildings were damaged, but none of them was destroyed. Duncan, Fox & Co. are in receipt of the following cable message from Valparaiso: . “The earthquake caused little dam- age beyond Liaillal. We expect to see matters improve shortly.

Petersburg, Aug. 22.—Premier Btolypin evidently finds it impossible to accompMsh the difficult task of sup- pressing the revolution on one hand end introducing reform on the other end it now appears that the cabinet will practically limit itself, so far as the reform end of the progrdmme is concerned, to preparing projects of law for submission to parliament next winter. Commissions are being cre- ! ated in all the ministries to elaborate law projects covering every possible question, from a commission for the solution of the agrarian and labor problems to one in the ministry of finance for a revision of Russia’s finan- cial system. It is claimed that this relapse into the old fashioned meth- ods of the bureaucracy augurs ill for the success of the reorganized cabinet. l An interview which Emperor Will- jam has had with Count Witte, in which the latter announced his early: i return to Russia, has been published | here and is attracting considerable at- tention, but Premier Stolypin is quoted as saying that he knew the temper of i the authorities at Peterhof and that I there was no vestige of a chance that Emperor Nicholas would again call Count Witte to power.
