o - THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1902. 15 GOVERED f ASHES Awful Force of the Vol- canic Eruption at Cook TInlet. No News Yet Received From Endangered Towns Near the Crater. Disturbance May Be the Forerunner | of an Upheaval Similar to That of Thirty Years Ago. Epecial Dispatch-to The Call. SEATTLE, March 26.—Confirmation of The Call's account .of the volcanic erup- tion on Cook Inlet, Alaska, is contained in the following dispatch from Valdes: “Word was received at Valdes on March 13 that Redoubt, one of the volcanoes at Cook Inlet, had an epuption on January 18, and the country for 150 miles around was” covered with ashes and ‘lava. The news comes from Sunrise, but nothing definite has been ascertained as to whether any damage was done, for mo boats have as yet been in the neighbor- hood of the volcano. . On the date of the eruption the sky was - Garkened, and at Sunrise the snow was covered so thickly with sand and ashes that it was:impossible to Go any sledding until a fresh fall of snow. At Hope, twelve miles daistant, the ashes were half an inch thick, and at Knik, on the opposite side of the inlet, they were still Geeper. These towns are about 15) miles. northeast of the volcano, so th terrible force of the eruption can be imi- | agined. “Mount Redoubt is situated on the southeast side of Cook Inlet, near Illiamna Bay. It has been smoking for many years at intervals, but there has never before in the history of the whites been a serious eruption. A few miles from Redoubt is Mount llliamna, also an active volcano, and op an island near by is Mount Cher- nabura, another volcano. The latter had a violent eruption about thirty years ago, when a _portion of the island sank from sight ani many new islands were formed. The Wwaters in this neighborhood were en- tirely changed and the Russian charts had to be remade. ““The ‘entire section shows that there heve been eruptions for cenjuries. Several moyntains, from one to three thousand feet high, are one mass of burnt rock and lave, while the entire country between Iiiamna and Redoubt, twenty-five miles square, is composed of lava, ashes and fossils of various kinds. In this section there is every indication.of coal oil and several thousand acres have been staked and an oil company has been at work put- ting in 2 plant and sinking wells for the past two vears - [he new town of Tllianiha and two or thiee Thdian villages are. in the vicinity of the Redoubt. volcano, but it will not be known if any damage was done to them until the return of the steamer Excelsior to Valdes.” ICE STATUE ADORNS WEHITE PASS SUMMIT Oxne Side Represents Miss Columbia and the Other Is Fashiomed After Jokn Bull TACOMA, March -25.—Arrivals - from Upper Yukon points bring an interesting story of how the few people who live at the summit of White Pass have made the best of their dreary..surroundin during-the long winter.

Successiul Work Done by Americans ‘in th»> Philippines. MANILA, March 26.—Noriel, the only insurgent general with the exception of ‘Malver still in the- field, has been cap- tured Ly Lieuténant Frank E. Bambord of the Twenty-eighth Infantry. A major, a captain, a leutenant and five men, who were acting as a bodyguard to Noriel, were captured with him. They have all been held as prisoners of war. There is some reason to believe that one member of this Bodyguard is General Malver in disguise. Lieutenant Bamford is certain that If this general is not one of the cup- tured party he is in the immediate neigh- borhood of the scene of Noriel's capture. Norlel has been one of the recognized leaders of the insurrection since 18%9. he | was captured on his way to the coast while endeavoring to escape. He admits that the insurrection, as such, is over, and ‘says that the few remaining leaders are fleeing, as they Go not command enough men to warrant surrenders com- mensurate with their rank. WASHINGTON, March 26.—Mgr. Sba- retti, who has been chosen Archbishop of Manila, to succeed Archbishop Nozaieda. who retires voluntarily to Rome, called on Secretary Root to-day. The Secretary was about to take a train for New York, £0 he was obliged merely to greet his vis- itor and refer him to Colonel Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, until he; Sec- retary Root, returned to Washington' to- morrow. Mgr. Sbaretti is on his way tc Manila from Rome. Tt is understood that the appointment of Mgr. Sbaretti is made by the Pope in recognition of the excellent services of that prelate in Cuba, where he succecded in a-task which up to that time ‘others had failed to accomplish and secured a complete divorce of state from church, | 1o the entire satisfaction of both parties. He is to undertake a similar work in the Phillppines and he wishes to talk to the cfficials here before proceeding to his ost. Naturally the vexed question of the scquisition. _of the friars' lands by the Philippine Government will be among the very first to engage the energies of 3 Sbarretti. But there is some indication that Archbishops Ireland and O'Gorman already have taken some part in the ne- gotiations on this subject, and it is not certain that Mgr. Sbarretti will reiieve them entirely: of that . task. The Navy Department has given Rear | Admiral Frank Wildes, the ranking ad- miral in the service,. authority to take ruch steps as may be necessary to pre-| vent the spread of the cholera epldemic | which prevails at Manila to the officers and men of the naval establishment at Cavite. As far as can be learned here, the epidemic_is_confined to the natives and Chinese in Manila and does not pre- vail among the whites. MISINTERPRETS A DREAM AND MEETS AWFUL DEATH Workman - Quits One Mine Through Fear and Loses His Life in Another. ANGBLS CAMP, March 26.—While. John Pessegon and a man named Joy were at work at the bottom of the shaft of -the Angels quartz mine, 700 feet deép, ‘this afternoon .a skip came down loaded with timbers. The jar caused two sets of tim- bers at the bottom of the shaft to start, catching Pessegon under them. On top of the timbers fell many tons of rock and dirt, crushing out Pessegon's life. Peéssegon was about thirty years of age and a native of Italy. He had worked at the Utica mine here for ten years, but on Monday he dreamed that he had been caught in a cave and was so impressed by the dream that he resigned.

Friedlander's tongue moved like a pendulum, and he never tripped up -at any stage of the game. He extracted bids of $1000 with greater skill than a dentist pulling teeth. He used no gas, but thé bidders never felt the pain of parting with their shekels. In dulcet tones he informed the assem- bled merchants that he was there for a purpose. When he mounted his pedestal he did so without fear, as he was pro- tected from - iconoclasts by Policeman Thomas “‘Pinkerton” Walsh. “Your -attention for a few moments, gentlemen,” said the auctioneer as sweet- 1y as the interlocutor of a minstrel show. “I have a limited and choice assortment © T el e b e @ DEATH CLAIMS CECIL RHODES, WH 2 yell their bids fast enough.

He described her shape and the costliness of her attire. He said she was young and fair to look upon. A gen- tleman named Danforth, who is no rela- tive of “Cupid” Danforth, became smit- ten and. secured the Jennie Stella for $18,000. ‘When the last bid had been noted Auc- tioneer Friedlander bowed gracefully to the assembled merchants and said, “I am very much obliged to you, gentlemen.

The Standard say: tain largeness and magnanimity even in his failings. He remains an impressive and inspiring figure and a real lover of his country, who sacrificed much to make England great and powerful.” The Daily Mail describes iim as the successor ogLord Clive and Warren Hast- ings and says: ‘“The virulence with which he was hated abroad s the measure of his service to England.” The Daily Chronicle says: “There was nothing in the career of Cecil Rhodes to support the charge that he was a vulgar money grabber. There was nothing small about him—even, his blunders were colos- sal,” . . The Daily News, which bitterly attacks Rhodes on account of the Jameson raid, declaring that not even Randolph Churckill shattered a more brilliant ca- reer by a more conspicucus act of folly, also defends him from the charge of money grabbing. The' Daily Telegraph says: “If Cecll Rhodes was gullty of a great blunder in 1895, he paid as dearly for it as his most bitter foe could wish. Now that he has passed beyond the reach of malignity of censure, only the magnificent services he rendered the empire he loved will be re- membered."” . f & The newspapers all devote much space to sketches, to the career of Rhodes, to reminiscences of the man and the im- pressions of foreign opinion concerning him. Much curiosity is evinced as to the probable disposal of his property and in- terests.: The general notion is that the bulk of his ‘rropeny will be bequeathed not to an individual, but to public inter- ests in South Africa, and that Dr. Jam son will be designated to succeed, so far as any one can succeed, to the charge of his Rhodestan interests, M-togpan Hills, where Rhodes wished to be buried, is the scene of his historic conference with the Matabele chiefs. CECIL JOHEN RHODES. Right Hon, Cecil John Rhodes was the fourth .son. of the Rev. Francis. W. RNodes, vicar of Bishop Startford, Hert- | short stay, fordshire, England, and was born July 7, 1853. It was at first intended that he should enter the ministry of the church of England, but later events directed his life and energles into other fields. The delicate state of his health when .a boy led to his going in 1871 to South Africa to join his elder brother, Herbert, in Natal. He returned to England in 1872 and en- tered Oriel College, Oxford, but after a h on account of trouble with his lungs, went out again to South Africa and settled with his brother at Kimberley. The diamond mines had been recently opened there, and both brothers, securing desirable claims, soon amassed a large fortune. Herbert Rhodes, preferring travel and hunting to the work of mining, left his interests in the hands of his ycunger brother, Cecil, who in no great While became a Very rich man. Between 1876 and 1851 he made several visits to England and, completing his resi- dential terms at Oxford, received his B. A. and M. A. degrees in the latter year. He was also able to spend a short time in the inner temple as a law student, and later received his degree of D. C. L. from Oxford, From early in his .stay at Kimberley Rhodes’ mind became thoroughly imbued with the Idea of making Africa from the cape to the Zambesi River “all English.” This idea of expansion of English empire, with its congenital brother, the expansion of his own wealth, dominated his thoughts and actions throughout the rest of his life. As he worked in the mines he meditated and matured plans for the ab- gorption, which were later in effectual consummation when the Boer war broke out. He once said: “I saw that expansion ‘was everything and that the earth's sur- face being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could.” Rhodes was certainly true to the British ipstinct and tradition and. openly A Trhe atory of ‘the lif e story of the life and enterprises of Cecll Rhodes after 1880, by whlgh tims he was already a very wealthy man, is a histery of the development of British South Africa, for not one important en- 't;;]zrluste }::a‘ n:h'erextalner undertaken ex- tigation or ln;sely !nh".a cegtrnl.

On this occasion' he met General Gordon and the two became warm friends.

This article calls upon Christlans through- out the world to pray to Geod for the con- clusion of peace between the noble British nation and the gallant Boers. LONDON, March 27.—At the conclusion of a biography of Fleld Marshal Lord Roberts, written by James McLaren Cob- ban, which has just been published, the reply of Lord Roberts to Lord Lansdowne when the latter requested him to take supreme command against the Boers 1s given in the following words: My Lord: For eighteen years I have led an abstemious lif¢ In the hope of this day.” Commenting on this answer Cobban says Lord Roberts foresaw, after the bat- tle of Majuba Hill, that the issue must ultimately be fought out between Briton and Boer., The War Office has approved the new rifles and they will probably soon be is- sued to the whole British army. The new arm is fourteen ounces lighter and its barrel is five inches shorter, but it has the same range as the rifle now in use. 1t has the Mauser breech mechanism, but an improved bolt action. It is provided with a wind gauge and a foresight. It will hold ten rounds of ammunition in the magazine. Delarey Escapes a Cordon. Incomplete reports of the resuit of the combined movement of British columns against General Delarey have enabled Lord Kitchener to announce the capture of over a hundred prisoners, three fifteen- pound guns, two pompoms and quanti- tles of stock, wagons, etc. General De- | larey appears to have successfully evaded | Lord Kitchener's cordon at the outset. In a dispatch dated from Pretoria at noon yesterday Lord Kitchener says: At dusk on the evening of March 23 the combined movement against Delarey was un- dertaken by columns of mounted men Wwithout ns or {mpediment of any sort. The colymns started from Commando Drift, on the vaal River, and traveled rapidly all’ night, and at dawn, March 24, occupied positions along the line from Commando Drift to tne Lichtenburg blockhouse line. The troops moved rapidly eastward, keeping & continuous line, with the object of driving the enemy against the block- houses or forcing an action. The result has not yet been fully reported. Kekewich's col- umn, after the commencement of the action, captured three fifteen-pounders, two pompoms, nine prisoners and a-hundred mules, carts and wagons. General Kitchener's column cap- | tured elghty-nine prisoners, forty-five carts and wagons and a thousand cattle. There are a few more prisoners on the blockhouse line. The troops covered eighty miles in twenty-four hours. Rochfort’s and Rawlinson's columns have not yet reported their results. Lord Kitchener in a later message says: “All the reports are now in. The total number of prisoners is 135.” Praise for the Boers. WASHINGTON, March 26.—During the session of the House to-day Representa- tive Burleson of Texas secured the floor and reverted to the resolution passed by the House some time ago caliing upon | the Secretary of State for informal lon‘ relative to the refusal of the State De—I partment to grant ‘a request preferred some time ago in behalf of the Rev. Hiram W. Thomas and wife, who desired | to enter the Boer lines in South Africa for the purpose of distributing reliet to nop-combatants. In doing so he took oouflon to renew | his _criticism. of Secretary Hay, who, he | said, had been charged with being an “Anglo-maniac” ~who had caused this Government to further the cause of Great Britain in South Africa. He contended that Secretary Hay's letter to Hitt rela- tive to the application on behalf of Dr. | Thomas was disingenuous and produced | certain papers and letters in support of | his contention. He said that it was not| a passport for Dr. Thomas which was de- | sired, but the good offices of the Statej Department to secure a permit to enable Dr. Thomas to get through the Boer lines. Hay’s letter to Hitt, he declared, was “‘an evasion.” , He read a second letter written March | .—l—l—x—x—-H—H—l-l’!-H-l-l-l‘H"l'H'-'H.[ land, and, the Cape Government refusing to take it over, he applied to the home Government, and in 1884 succeeded in hav- ing an imperial protectorate established over the territory, of which he was made | Deputy Commissioner. Later he. made other gains of smaller native territories for the British. To limit the supply of diamonds from | the numerous companies operating about | Kimberley Rhodes about this time effected the union of all the important ones into a single corporation known as the De Beers Consolidated Mines. This concera controls the output, sale and- price of all diamonds produced in South Africa. In 1896 the rich gold mines of the Trans- | vaal were discovered and Rhodes formed for their control’the company known as the Goldfields of South Africa. This con- cern also wielded dictatorial power and reaped fabulous profits from the exploita- tion of the rich deposits o the Transvaal. Rhodes’ next move, , in was to organize and ' secure @a charter for the British South Africa Company, to which was given by the Crowa the administration and control of all the vast territory between the Ger- man holdings on the west, Bechuanaland and the Transvaal on the south, Portu- uese East Africa on the east and the ambesi River on the north, an empire four times as large as England “ itself. This territory, with another far greater reaching north of the Zambesl to the Congo Free State and German East Af- rica was called Rhodesia, in honor of Ce- cil Rhodes. This occupation and development meant wars of subjugation with the Matabele | and other tribes, the buillding of post roads, the extension of the Cape Town and Kimberley Railroad to Bulawayo and Fort Salisbury, the building up of several towns, and numerous other things, which were all accomplished in a remarkably short time under the direct supervision of Cecil Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes next brought the De Beers Company . into the British South Africa Compnn{, and secured large Interests in the African Lake Company, which gave him a free hand in the matter of expan- sion north of ‘the Zambesi. He then se- cured a royal charter granting large pow- ers over all the territorvy lying between Cape Colony and the Congo Free State, some 350,000 square miles in extent. Cecii Rhodes was made chairman and manag- mf director of the company. ¥ n 1890 Rhodes was made Premler of Cape Colony, and in was made a member . of the Privy Council of Great Britain. Early in the following _year, however, he resigned his Premlership as well as his position of chairman of the Chartered Company, on account of hig alleged complicity in the Jameson rald on the Transvaal. He admitted. his.con- nection with the reform movement and thell at tation among the British residents annesburg, as well as knowledge sistance in the plans of the rev- but denled authorizing Dr. Jamesen’s actual movement. His appear- ance in England at the time was gener- nl‘lAyttn u: aJ for an uv:ufion.‘l or the Jameson r: hodes occupl: himself as before in politics and the v?o:g of the Chartered Company, which includ- ed plans for the enrlcv pushing to comple- tion of the Cape to Cairo Railroad. ith this view he paid a visit to Lord Kitch- ener in 1899 to confer as to the section of Arbitration " Sure to Settle the Differences in Pennsylvania. NEW YORK, March 26.—Regarding the meeting of the coal miners’ representa- tives and the conciliation committee of the Civic Federation, the Herald will say to-morrow: There is no likelthood of a strike in the anthracite district this year. The miners have formulated their demands and the operators will probably meet them half way. The announcement was made last night on the best authority after Senator Hanna's conference with J. P. Morgan, and the threatened trouble will be:averted mainly. through the efforts of the two men who were the chief factors in settling the big strike in the Presidential cam- palgn of 1900. Senator Hanna is one of the most earn- est advocates of the cause of arbitration, and he presented the situation from his viewpoint with such force that MOrg: was convinced -that the operators should yieild a point. Morgan is in control of some of the coal roads, and is in a posi- tion to decide upon the course of action to be taken without reference to any other coal magnates. He sees no particu- lar objection to recognizing the United Mine Workers .of America, as the union is called, through his signing of contracts | with the individuals employed, especially if the present wage scale can be main- | tained for another year. He does not be- lieve that the union is particularly strong with the miners. He will agree to terms that he deems reasonable and Senator Hanna was jubilant when he left him, being convinced that the strike would be_averted. CINCINNATI, March 2.—Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Federa- ton’ of Labor, continued the taking of evidence to-day in his efforts to settle the differences which resulted in the lockout of the brewery workmen here. No re- sult was reached. During the day Miss Geralda Malone of San i'rancisco, Miss Ruby Payne of New York and Miss Sallie Fisher of Salt Lake made application to President Gompers for a union of chorus girls. World’s Fair Managers Coming. ST. LOUIS, March 26.—C. F. Taylor, chief of the Department of Agriculture and acting chief.of the department of hor- ticulture.of the World's Fair, and A. M. Reeves, secretary of the joint committes on legislation and State and Territorial exhibits, left to-night on a Western tour of exploitation to last about three weeks. They will meet the Governors of New Mexico; Nevada, California, Oregon, ‘Washington, Utah and Wyo- ming, as well as members of the business organizations of the capitals of those States; also the leading citizens of several other cities, including San Fran- cisco, Portland and Tacoma. @ siniminiei i O 17 to Secretary Hay by John O. Knight, acting for the Boer Relief Committee, again calling attention to his request of March 11, to which Burleson said no re- ply had been received. Furthermore, he said, the newspapers had announced that Secretary Hay did not purpose to make further reply to the House resolution. In the course of his remarks Burleson paid a high tribute to the fighting Boers the hope that théy would keep R the struggle for liberty until every British soldier was driven from, South Africa. He contrasted “the mag- nanimous treatment of General Methuen by the Boers with the horrible execution of General Scheepers by the English.” Attack Made on Hay. In concluding Burleson predicted that in less than one year there would be arother interchange of notes between the President and a member of his Cabinet and the “little pro-British Secretary of State, the little authorof ‘Little Breeches,” would follow the other Cabinet officers of a former President into private life.” Hitt of Illinois, chairman of the For- eign Affairs Committee, replied briefly to Burleson. Everything Burleson had pro- duced, he said, had been presented before. As far as the charge of “‘eyasion” on the part .of the Secretary of State was con- cerned, he sald that the Secretary’s let- ter completely disposed of that. He had done all he could and was now in cen- sultation with Governor Yates, through whose instrumentality the Boer fund had been raised, and no doubt a way would be found to get the relief funds to the Boers. The epithets and vituperation, of the gentleman, he said, he would not re- ply to, but he.called attention to the fact that tne American Government had of- fered mediation and would do so again if it were acceptable. OTTAWA, Ont., March 26.—The rumors which have been in circulation here for the last few days in regard to the possi- bility of another Canadian contingent go- ing to South Africa, have crystallized into the statement that the imperial authori- ties have asked. for.a mounted force of 2000 men. It is said tne matter was be- fore the Cabinet yesterday, but strict reti- cence is observed as to the action, if any, which was decided upon. From what can be -learned, the imperial Government has suggested that the force should be equipped and transported at its own ex- pense. The application doubtless will be acceded “to, and should this prove to be correct Canada's contribution of troops will be brought up to a total of 7000 men. poiitiattin B AR o R GUMP Collection OF. .

Paine’s Gelery Compound The Best Invigorator and Strengthener for O Pesple. Its Use Insures Freedom From the Infirmities That Come With Advancing Years, 1t Bestows on the Aged a Condition of Com~ fort, Happiness and Peace That Ne Other Agency Can Give.

Paine’s Celery Compound is the world's best medicine for all the besetting trou= bles of the old. Its regulating influence on the liver, kidneys and bowels removes the disorders that come to the aged. When you are old Paine's Celery Com- pound stimulates the vital powers, resu lates digestion and promotes a healt y appetite. It builds you up and adds years of comfort, happiness and peace to your life. Rev. Dr. Wm. A. Smith of Groton, Conn., one of the best known divines in Southern New England, sends the follow- ing letter, that deserves careful reading: “T am now 86 years of age, and during my long life have suffered greatly from dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipation and insomnia, at times thinking I should die for want of sleep. ' “By the use of several bottles of Paine’s Celery Compound I have so far recovered my health as to consider myself a weil man for my age. My appetite Is now good, my sleep is refreshing, my liver active and bowels regular, and my crutches not needed.” See that you get PAINE'S, the kind that makes old people active, fresh and voung.
