Loss of Life I'm the Vale Unknown.
LONDON, June 5.-An official dispatch
from serlnagur gives the number of killed
and wounded by the earthquake there on
Sunday and Monday last as follows:
Killed, 81; wounded, 100. Official reports
have not been received yet from other
points in the Vale OF Cashmere affected
by the earthquake shocks. and until these
come to hand the full extent Of the ca
lamity cannot be known.
The unofficial reports Of the earthquake
are of such an alarming character as to
make it more than likely that the earth
quake will prove even more disastrous in
its effects than the first dispatches stated
them 10 be. Whole cities and towns ia
"The Vale" are spoken Of as destroyed.
The absence of definite news is attributed
TO the demolition OF the telegraph lines
In the general wreck and chaos. In con-
sequence the magnitude Of the calamity
and the numbers OF killed and wounded
are left for the imagination TO supply.

LONDON, June 5.-The Pail Mall
Gazette editorially says that it cannot
believe that Sir Dixie and Mr.. Chamber
lain will face the odum Of causing dis
ruption Of the Cabinet on the eve OF
general election. Earl Spencer will be
content If he gets the powers he urgently
needs for next year. The Home Rulers
Will, however, oppose a one year term OF
the crimes act as a measure Of coercion.
while the Conservatives may cOalesce
with the Home Rulers, and oppose
the bill as an inadequate and temporary
makeshift unworthy Of the imperial Par
Lament. BY accepting the compromise
suggested the crisis may be transferred
from the Cabinet 10 the House OF Com
mons. Although there is apprehension OF
great difficulty in keeping the party to-
gether, 1t may not be insufmountable.

ture xpeoted-sub- Treasurer Herwig
Responsible for the Money and the
Government Not to Lose.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-1he Secretary
of the Treasury to-day received atelegram
from j. A. Sample, of the United States
Treasurer's office. who is at present en-
gagged in investigating the affairs of the
Assistant Treasurer's Office at New Or
leans, reporting that the shortage 30 far
discovered in the accounts OF the mutt
lated currency and United States notes
deposited for redemption amounts to
$2b,343. 1t was also reported that redemp-
tion clerk j. II. AufdemOrte, who is sus-
pected of deialcatiOn, has disappeared,
and efforts to arrest him have proved I'M
successful. In speaking Of the detalca-
ton to-day. the United states Treasurer
said that he proposed to make a
full and complete examination of the
affairs of the sub.Treasury, and to
that end has sent two clerks OF
his Office, A, Il. Quai6e and b. 7. Snyder,
10 New Orleans TO assist Messrs. sample
and Henry CroggOn, who are now there.
The Treasurer says it Is possible that the
total shortage may he increased to $4,000,
and intimates that Aufdemorte is not the
only person concerned in the transaction.
He says that the government will suffer
no loss from the defalcation as it is amply
protected by the bond of the Assistant
Treasurer.
$4,000 TABEE.
NEW ORLEANS, June John Fl. Aut-
demorte. for seventeen years confidential
clerk in the United States sub-Treasury
In this city, has absconded with several
thousand dollars of government money.
The exact amount Of the defalcation has
not vet been ascertained. but 1t 10 be-
lieved to be more than $4,000. The gov
ernment, however, will lose nothing, as
P..F. HerwIg, sub-Treasurer, will make
the amount good. Mr.. Herwig received
a dispatch from Washington this
morning TO the effect that the
government had taken the case OF
the absconding redemption clerk
in hand, and that kilograms descriptive of
the man had been sent to all parts of this
country, Mexico, Canada and Europe, 80
that his escape will be almost impossible.
1t Is believed that Aufdemorte has gone TO
Mexico, but it is thought that even his
safe arrival on foreign soil will not save
him under the existing circumstances,
because, as he has been a defaulter TO the
Government of the United States, he can
be apprehended and returned from any
country
