South American City Ruined. SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.—Another city in Central America has suffered almost complete destruction and hundreds of its inhabitants bave been killed by volcanic eruptions. The steamer Palena, which atrived today from southern ports, brings the news that the town of Retalbulen, situated at the foot of Mount Tacona, in Guatem: been buried under a mass of lava, #tones and ashes thrown from the volcanic orater and probably 1,000 of its people bave per- ished. The volcano is about twemty-five miles from Champanico, and near the town of Tapachulo, which, it is belleved, also suf- fered severely. The eruption oocurred sev- Palena arrived at Cham- The vessel's officers were informed by the agent of the Pacific Steam Naviga- tion company at that place that the vol- cano had shown signs of the impending eruption for several days previous to the outbreak. In fact, Mount Tacona had been restl ever since the great earthquake of April 18, which destroyed the city of Quez- altenango. For weeks a black pall of smoke hung over its summit, and the glare from the crater frequently {llumi- nated the sky. Escape Frightful Denths. Many of the Inhabitantg of Retalbulen fled from their homes to places of safety and these escaped frightful deaths. When the eruption at last broke forth in its full fury showers of lava, ashes and stones ected and covered the country for | around. The Bay of Champani | was a mass of floating pumice and No detalls were obtalnable by the officers of Palena, but the loss of life was esti- mated at not less than 1,000. The same steamer brought a letter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., agents of the Pa- cific Coast Steamship company, from G. M. | Mellville, their agent in Guatemals, con- | firming the report of the eruption. also | stated that since the earthquake of April | 18 shocks had been of almost daily occur- | rence. A few days before Palena salled a small village near Mount Tacona wae de- stroyed, but no detalls could be obtained, The volcano of SBanta Maria is also sald to have been in a state of eruption.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—The Interstate Commerce commissio today, in an opinion by Commissioner Yeomans, announced its declsion in the case of Charles H. Johnsou of Norfolk, Neb., against the Chicago, St. Paul, Minnedpolis & Omabha Railway com- pany and others. The decision of the commission is that the freight rates in effect from Chicago to Norfolk, Neb., and from Duluth, Minn., to Norfolk, Neb., are unjust and unreasonable, and not in conformity with the facts and clrcumstunces shown in the case. The rates from Chicago to Norfolk should mot exceed those from Chicago to Columbus, and the rates from Duluth to Norfolk, should not exceed those from Nor- folk, Neb,, added to the local rates in effect trom Emerson to Nortfolk.

BOTH RIVERS ARE SUBSIDING Neosho and Cottonweod Recede After Doing Tremendons Damage to Crops. KANSAS CITY, June 7.—Both the Neosho and Cottonwood rivers, which wrought so much damage yesterday in the vicinity of Emporia, Kan., are subsiding today. The former estimated loss of $1,000,000 is still adhered to and now it is beliéved it may even go above this. The Neosho has sub- sided enough to clear some of the fields, but over the flooded country a sediment was left that will, it is believed, kill all crops, including alfalfa. The highest water in seventeen years at Independence, Kan. All are out of their banks and crops will suffer. The Verdigris ia almost at a standstill, but the water reached the pump house today and extinguished the fire under the bollers, leaving the city without water service.

IRRIGATION BILL COMES THIS WEEK Builders Inform Department Keel of Battleship Nebraska is to Be Laid at Seattle on the Nation's Birthday. WASHINGTON, June 7.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Senator Dietrich, who has been one of the most active suvporters of the sugar producers of the United States as against the importers of sugar, when aek today if the exponents of native sugars would enter a caucus of the senate to de- cide the question of Cuban reciprocity, satd that they would gladly enter a conference to talk over the questions upon which the republican party in the senate is divided but he doubted whether the representa- tives of the producing intereste would be bound by the action of a caucus at this time. Senator Dletrich has introduced two bills on Cuban reciprocity, one to secure reci- procity with Cuba by covering back Into the Cuban treasury an average of 25 per cent of the moneys which the United States would collect from imports from Cuba This was what was done for Porto Rico and what the Philippine civil government bill which recently passed the senate provides The other bill 8 to add to the raw sugar schedule the amount of the differential which is a speclal protection of refiners of sugar, then in addition the senator by bis bill provides for 25 per cent reduction to Cuba on all its products. The object of transterring the differential to raw sugar, according to Senator Dletrich, is that the differential is only a protection to the sugar trust, which is only an importers’ trust and practically employs no American labor and gives it a monopoly tor dictating the purchasing and selling price of sugar which comes to the United States and enables it to collect from the American people from a half to three-fourths of a cent profit on every pound of sugar that is consumed in the United States. By making the conces- slon to refined sugar, according to Senator Dietrich's 1dea, our revenues would be reduced materially, but on the other hand, transferring the differential to raw sugar, refined sugar from other countries could be brought in at the same price as the highest grade of raw sugar now brought in under the exieting tariff. Consequently instead of bringing into the United States the lowest grade of raw sugars, the high- est grade of refined sugars would be brought and the power of the sugar trust weakened just that much. Senator Dietrich stated tonight that his bill was not only satis- factory to the president, but was entirely acceptable to the producers of sugar in the United States, and he confidently be- lieved that from sixteen to twenty senators could be depended upon to vote for his proposition or a rebate proposition as against a reciprocity .bill of 20 per cent which the representatives of the sugar trust are urging. The week closes with no material con- cessions made on either side and it looks now as if it might be a stern fight be- tween the beet sugar and Sugar trust forces, the only hope being for a confer- ence of republican senators where the different propositions may be talked over and some’ compromise bill agreed upon. Irrigation Bill Thursday. The irrigation bill, in which the people of the west are so vitally interested, will in all probabilities be reached next Thurs- day, the understanding being that the Pa- cific cable bill will occupy the attention of the house next Tuesday and Wednesday. It is expected that Mr. Mondell of Wyom- ing, who has been one of the most active forces in favor of an irrigation measure, will control the time for the friends of the measure, while Judge Ray of New York, who filed a minority report, will probably direct the opposition. From a careful and conservative canvass of the house it seems safe to assume that the bill will pass by a large majority, although four months ago this would have been impossible. Among those who will speak in favor of the measure are Terrell and Powers of Massachusetts, Littlefleld of Maine, Cooper of Wisconsin, Tawney of Minnesota and Sperry of Con- necticut. From the south there will be Underwood of Alabama and Bellamy of Georgla, while there is a flood of requests from men who represent the west, demand- ing time in which to tell their story. Representative Hepburn left today for Iowa, going direct to Clarinda, his home, which he expects to reach Monday morn- ing. Monday evening he will leave for Creston to be in attendance upon his dis- trict convention, which meets in that city next Tuesday. Colonel Hepburn will not return to Washington untll Friday, too late, howéver, to take a hand In the Pa- cific cable fight, which he has bitterly op- posed since the Corliss bill was intro- duced. The Navy department has been Informed by Moran Bros. at Seattle, Wash. that they will lay the keel of the big battleship Nebraska on the Fourth of July. The builders informed the department that work at their yards has lagged a little of late owing to the prevalence of a small strike and also because of delay in delivery of ship fittings, but they state that progres: on the big vessels being built by them is now improved. Seven Days on Philippine Bill A close friend of Speaker Henderson states tonight that the Philippine civil government bill would be brought into the house on June 18 and seven days' debate would be allowed on the measure, which would bring a vote on June 25. In the meantime the general deficiency bill will be reported and out of the way, so that nothing will interfere with an adjourn- ment of congress except the Cuban recl- procity measure and this, it is belleved, will be satisfactorily settled by the time congress 1s ready to adjourn. Dr. L. Wright, Mrs. Wright and son and Mrs. Burke of Carroll, Ia., are in the city. Napoleon Wabasha, a Santee Indlan, and George Taylor, an Interpreter, are in Washington for the purpose of interesting the secretary of the interior in having set aside for the benefit of the Santee Indians upward of $1,000,000, which they claim fis the unpald portion of the purchase priceé of land which the Santee Indians ceded to the United States under the treaty made in 1836. Senator Millard presented Wa- basha to Commissioner Jones today, who, after hearing the statement of the Indian, directed that an investigation be made into the matter. General Mavager G. W.

The grounds upon which Admiral Crowninshield disapproved the finding, namely, the insufficiency of evi- dence, would not, It is belleved, give any cause for offense to the Italian government. The admiral does not find that the Itallan court erred, but he does find that, situated as the Chicago Is, it is not possible to se- cure the evidence which would justify the assembling of a court-martial.

The two men fataly injured are: WILLIAM LAYZEN, motorman of electric car. GEORGE GIBBONS, a laborer, who shared the front platform with Layzen when the collision occurred. The fireman and engineer of the raliroad train were both Injured and removed to the Missour! Pacific hospital for treatment. Almost everyone of those in the car was cut by flying glass or thrown against a door, window or seat in such a manner as to sustain painful Injuries. The injuries of a majority of the passengers were slight, however, and they hastily set about to rescue the less fortunate. There were no physiclans at hand when the collision qccurred and it was twenty minutes, passengers eay, before the fn- jured recelved medical attention. A ma- Jority of the victims were able to go in search of dootors themselves. Residents of Brentwood carried the others to con- venient houses or placed them on neigh- boring lawns until physicians arrived. Inabllity to control the electric car, which ran into and derailed the engine, seems to have been the cause of the acel- dent. the List of Injured.
