VALPARAISO, August 21.-The insur-

are from 5000 to 10000 strong. Balma-

complete surprise to Balmaceda.
The insurgents are well armed. The

is strongly fortified, and an assault upon
it would lead to the most important en-

PARIS. August 21.-The latest reports
from the island of Martinique state that
218 people were killed by the recent cy-
clone, in the coast towns alone. The
towns of the interior have not been
heard from yet, and until reports are re-
ceived from them, the total number of
killed will not be known. Probably the
number of dead in the interior towns is
equal to or even greater than the coast
towns.
Houses, crops and trees, from one end
OF the island to the other, are demolish-
ed or fattened down beyond the hope Of
recovery. The loss to coffee and sugar
plantations is great.
The troops are at the disposal OF the
government, and they, together with
the large body Of volunteers, are busy at
work in all directions succoring the in
jured and burying the dead. The ply
sicians on the island had hardly an
hours rest for the first forty-eight hours
following the hurricanes passage, and
utmost to help the sufferers and repair
the damage done.
A rough estimate makes the number
of killed 300 and injured 1000.
The death list by towns up to date is ::
st. Pierre, "a; Morne Rouge, %; Fondu
st. Denis, 7; Precheurs, 6; Carbet, 4 !;
st. Joseph, 20; Marin, s. Vauchin 10 !;
Lamertin, 26; Francois, %; Robert, 2S |;
Riviere Pilote, z; miscellaneous, 1S.
But these do not include the deaths in
isolated places or upon the plantations
with which no communication can be
had at present.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
A Scheme to Put the Militia Undel
National Pay and Control.

A Scheme to Put the Militia Under
National Pay and Control.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, August 21.-The Post.
Dispatch this afternoon says a scheme
is on foot by which the militia of all the
states will be put under national pay
and supervision.
1t was stated by officers of the regular
army at the encampment OF the state
militia at camp Wyckham the other
day, and circulars and personal letters
concerning it are now flying thick and
fast about the country. 1t is the most
radical plan to change the condition of
the militia OF the country that has
arisen since the war.
Lieutenant +. Evans, Twelfth in
fantry, and Lieutenant Joseph b.
Bachelor, Twenty fourth infantry, gave
. resume of the plan to the encampment.
After making careful comparison of
the standing army of the United States,
with those of other countries, they con-
cluded that something must be done to
dignity the militia forces of this coun-
try.
The constitution of the Association n
of the National Guards of the Unite d
States" provides that the national
guards of the various states shall be en-
rolled in the national guard of tn e
United States, remaining under state
control in time of peace, but being i'm
mediately available for the defense in
case of war.
The governor of any state will furnish
to the secretary of war the application
of any company of not less than sixty
men who desire to join the association.
Each cavalry troop will be paid $4,000
the first year it is organized, and $4,000
for the subsequent year. Artillery will
receive the same. Infantry companies
will get $1,000 each. ~
Lieutenants Evans and Bachelor said
organization is to be effected by bill
which congress will be asked to pass al
the coming session. Petitions are being
gotten up in all the states, and the
movement is widespread, but had been
kept quiet until it leaked out at Camp
Wyckham. The plan is approved by al
the officers and men of the state militia,
and also by Adjutant-General Wyckham

NEW YORK, August 21.-Capt. Baker,
OF the Netherland line steamship OBJ
dam, which reached this port last night,
reports that twenty-four hours after
leaving port on his last trip he bee came
aware OF a plot among the fremen and
stokers to take possession of the ship.
He went down into the furnace room,
and was greeted with hisses. Next day
the vessel was stopped without orde rs
from her officers. While they were in
quiring the cause of the stoppage the
chief engineer came rushing on deck, !,
stating that the men had drawn the fires
from the furnaces and threatened hi s
life. The captain went below and aske d
what the trouble was. The crowd re-
piled with general howl, and Peter
Duzen, who was spokesman for the
crowd, said: I'VE have grown tired of
this life, and intend to run things to
suit ourselves"
After some more talk in a similar
strain, Duzen picked up a heavy iron
pick and sprung at Baker. The latter
drew a revolver and fired, hitting Duzen,
who fell to the floor and expired couple
of hours later. The rest of the mutineers
Immediately returned to work and Du-
zen's body was buried at sea.
On the arrival of the steamer at Rot
terdam, Baker had the mutineers ar
rested and gave himself up on the
charge of murder. He was placed under
SIC, 600 bonds to appear for trial on the
returning of his vessel to port. Ship
ping men are confident that he will be
acquitted.
There were 800 passengers on board
the steamer at the time of the threat
ened mutiny.
Duzen was native of Holland. Papers
in his bag showed him to have been a
leading Socialist, and to have borne a
bad character.

Firemens and Seamen's union, made a

dam so badly fed his crew that one of
them became too i'll to work. The cap
tain ordered him to resume work and then
shot him dead. Three hundred passen-
gers petitioned the Dutch government
to arrest him, but he was SO influential
that he was not arrested" [Uproarioue

The Anti Phylloxera Campaign in Fran ce
Led by Boy.
PARIS, August 21.-Figaro says the
anti-phylloxera campaign in the cham
payne districts is led by an educated
Partisan youth of 10, named Lemare.
He wrote pamphlet and started a
weekly paper, La Revolution Champe-
noise, to advocate his views and to In
cite the peasants themselves to reap the
profits of their work, instead OF the
merchants. The phylloxera cry, he
maintains, was invented to depreciate
the value of their lands. He led the
opposition at the recent meeting of the
wine-growers' syndicate at Epernay.
The agitation is now taken seriously,
and the general council of Chalons has
summoned him to give his opinion on
the situation.
