How the Harbor Has Been Improved-An'

water The improvements have cost nearly
$20.O 900. The facilities for handling
freight form a curious mixture of the new
and old. Although nearly million tons of
cereals and seeds are landed there yearly,
there is nothing in the nature of grain

years. The drays have two wheels, on
which are laid two long beams or slee2ers,
slightly curved upward and rigged with
windlass and ropes, which, being drawn
over the load and strained tightly, hold the

GREAT CONSPIRACY UNEARTHED..

The Dervish Invasion Was but Part of .
Scheme Hatched by Egyptian Officials.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
CAIRO. Aug. 6.-The startling news comes
from Poski, the scene of Saturdays over
throw of the Dervish hordes, that docu-
ments have been found in the abandoned
camp of Wad-el-Jumi and upon the dead
bodies of his shieks, which prove the exist
ence of o widespread conspiracy, with its
center among high officials of the Egyptian
army and prominent Egyptian leaders in
Carlo itself. The invasion by Wad-el-
Jumi with his handful of Dervishes is
shown these documents to have been
merely an incident of this conspiracy,
which waste have been followed by whole
sale treason on the part of the Egyptian
army. These disclosures serve to
explain what up to this time has puzzed
every body here. how the leader Of the Der
wishes expected to accomplish anything
with the Insignificant force he brought
with him across the desert. 1t is now clear
that he expected to be Joined at the Nile by
deserters from the Egyptian army, itself
headed by the traitors with whom he had
been in correspondence, and by some of the
tribes upon whose friendship they counted.
just why the traitors at the last moment
abandoned the brave Dervish leader to his
fate, and how it came that their treachery
was not cOnsummated Is not yet clear. 1t
is quite likely, however, that their plans
were to throw off their masks and join Wad-
el-Jumi's invaders after they had crossed
the Nile. and that Colonel Wodehouse's de-
termination to prevent. their reaching the
river at all hazards, and his unexpected
success in carrying out this purpose, threw
the cOnspiratOrs into confusion and disOr-
ganized their carefully-laid plans.

SPOKANE FALLS, w. T.. Aug 6.-The
burned district embraces thirty blocks. be-

houses left standing are the Crescent Block
and the American Theater. The schools
and churches, the college and hospital,

1t is impossible at this writing to esti-
mate the loss with any degree of ac-
curacy, but it will not fall short of
10000, 900, with an insurance of about one
fourth of that amount. The banks have
obtained temporary quarters, and several
have already opened for business. The
work of clearing away the debris has al
ready begun, and the work of rebuild
ing will be also commenced at once.
Firemen are blowing down dangerous
walls and militia company is guarding
the burnt district, while mounted police
patrol the entire city. The company will
be reinforced by company from Walla

UNTRUE TO HIS TRUST.


ST. LOUIS, Aug. &C. M. Whitney, who
was surveyor of the port of st. Louis for
two terms preceding the Cleveland admin
istratlOn, and who left st. Louis over year
ago, will probably be returned to the city
under arrest. Mr.. Whitney was admins
traitor of the estate of the late g. NJ. Vietch.
After leaving the Office Of surveyor he car
ried on a small real estate business for
time, and then disappeared. He was said
to be in bad health, and would return
shortly. For time not even his wife
knew his whereabouts He left with her
authority to make an assignment of all his
property for the benefit of his creditors,
and she made Seneca N. Taylor assignee.
1t was found that Mr.. Whitney was in debt
$1,000 to the Vietch estate, and also in debt
to another estate under his charge. Since
that discovery efforts at compromise have
been made by his friends without success.
Yesterday John Murray, husband of one of
the heirs, swore to information on which a
warrant was issued for Whitney's arrest.
He will be sent for. 1t is said he has been
located in New Mexico.
