New Military Association.

A scheme is on foot by which the
militia of all states will be put under na.
tlonal pay ana supervision. II was started
by officers OF the regular army st the en-.
campment OF the State militia at Camp
Wickham, Missouri, the other day, and
circulars and personal ietters concerning
Il are now flying thick and fast about the
country. 1t is the most radical plan TO
change tho condition Of the militia of the
country that has risen since the war.
The officers, Lieutenant Robert Z,
Evans OF the Twelfth infantry and Lieu.
tenant Joseph Is. Batchelor Of tho Twen.
ty-forth infantry, gave y resume OF the
plan TO the encampment After making a
careful comparison Of the standing army
OF the United States with those OF other
countries, they had concluded that some.
thing must be done TO dignity tho military
forces Of this country. Tho constitution
OF the "Associntion OF tho National
Guards of the United Statcs" provides
that the National Guards OF tho
various states are 10 DO enrolled iu
tho National Guards Of the United States,
remaining under State control In time OF
peace, but being Immediately available for
national defense In case Of war.
The governor Of any IStats will forward
TO tho secretary OF war tho application Of
any company OF not loss than sixty men
who desire To Join tho association.
Each cavalry troop will bo paid g, ,ooc
the first year It ls organized and s3,Oo0
subsequent years. The artillery rcceiyos
tho same. Tho infantry companies got
o., 900 each.
Lioutonants Evans and Batchclor said
tho organization was TO bc effected by q
bill which Congress was 70 be asked 70
pass ~ the coming session. Petitions arc
being gotten up In all stAtss, aud the
movement ia widespread but has been
kept quiet until 1t leaked out u Camp
wickham.
Tho plan is approved by all ofiioers and
mon Of the State militia aud also by Ad
jutant General wickham.

SaIton Lake Rising.

A prospector named Frank McDon-
aid has returned to San Diego from
trip in search Of mineral In the desert
He started from San Diego about three
weeks ago, and crossing the mountains,
descended into the desert on the borders
Of the Salton sea. While In camp near
the edge he mot man who had travelled
down the Colorado river for long dis
tance, and followed the stream Of water
which forms the lake.
He reported that two or three miles
from the junction Of the New river and
the Colorado large sand bar has formed
across the latter river below whore 1t cut
through the bank, and as the bar is grad
ually growing larger, unless 1t Is cut
through, allowing the Colorado to resume
It's old course, an uninterrupted and per-
manent flow will be maintained into the
desert.
Mcdonald reports that the lake is still
rising, although slowly, owing to the ex-
tensive area ii now covers.

Four Miners Suffocated.

William JAM, superintendent, G.
A. Neil, Robert Blackburn and Alex Bar
ron were killed Thursday At the Black
Bear mine in tho Coeur d'Alone country,
Idaho. 1t seems n box containing $50
pounds Of powder was placed In the mine,
on which was stuck = lighted candle. Tho
flame caught the box, causing an explos-
ion. The men were In the rear tunnel,
about 800 feet long, at the time. Tons Of
earth and rock were thrown down and all
air cut OF. A man from the Frisco mine
heard the explosion and went 10 the spot
He called to the men and the reply came
back that all were alive. It took about
half an hour to remove the earth, and when
this was done the men were found 70 have
been suiIocated. No marks were on tho
bodies to show that any rock had hit them.

A Man lynched in Indiana.

Don Bruce, city marshal of Shelby
vile, Indiana, was shot and fatally
wounded last Sunday uight by Charley
Hawkins, a desperate, who was lynched
by mob a few hours later. Hawkins
was In q quarrel when Bruce came upon
the scene and requested him to cease his
disturbance. Hawkins then reached for
lis revolver, and, with an oath, fired
three shots In succession at Bruce, each
bullet taking effect Hawkins fired twice
more, but missed, and started 10 run, with
Bruce following. Whom about l5O feet
from the place or the shooting Bruce
caught Hawkins, placed him under arrcs,
and. Immediately fell. He was Immediately
removed to his residence. AT II o'clock
Bruce was vomiting blood and his case
was considered hopeless.
Al u o'clock mob OF 200 collected in
tho court house yard and proceeded To the
jail without word. The sheriff demand,
ed 10 know who was there. One OF the
mob impersonated deputy marshal and
SAID he had a prisoner. The sheriff then
opened the door, when twelve men en-.
tered the parlor and seized him by the
throat He was tied hands ard feet and
handkerchief was stuffed down his
mouth.
Ono OF the mob secured tho keys OF the
Jail and the barred doors We're thrown
open and guards placed al the entrance to
keep back the other prisoners. Hawkins
was In u rear cell, and when the mob
reached that portion OF the jail fell upon
his face, placed his hands over his eyes
and said: ''Please lot me pray"
The committee did not walt, but pro.
ceeded 10 tic his hands and feet and nd
Just the moose about his neck. In q
moment six men came rushing out OF the
Jail pulling their victim by tho neck,
dragging him On the ground. Twenty
feet from the Jail door u tree was found
and the rope was thrown over limb, and

A GREAT BATTLE IN cHILI.
Three Thousand Men Reported Killed
at Valparaiso.


A special to the New York Herald
from Valparaiso, Chill, says that the
troops Of the insurgents which had been
llnded near that city from their trans,
ports and war vessels had first engage
ment with Balmaceda's forces on tho 2lst.
Six Of tho insurgent warships were an
chored In Cosnon Bay at tho mouth Of the
river, and under cover Of their guns the
army Of the Junta undertook the task Of
forcing q passage of the river Friday
morning. A most desperate aud bloody
battle lasting nearly all day followed. A
Calling fire from the insurgcnt artillery
which was placed on the southern bank OF
the river, aided by the heavy batteries
and machine guns from the ships, was TOO
much for the government troops and they
were forced to retire, which they did in
good order.
Both sides fought with the utmost valor
and the desperate character of tho battle
may be Judged from the fact that while
less than 10000 troops were engaged, the
list Of casualties will foot up nearly 5000
killed and wounded.
All day long Saturday tho insurgent
forces pushed their way steadily forward,
driving the comparatively small force be.
fore them. II was u constant skirmish
for fifteen miles over broken country At
every point Of vantage the Balmacedists
made stand. mud they constantly were
forced to give way.
1t was not until late In the evening
that the attacking army arrived In front
of Balmaceda's main line Of defense. 1t
was then too late TO give battle.
In the meantime President Balmaceda
with every available man in his depart
mont with himself In command, went to
the front Ho had over 1900 available
fighting men, while the insurgents forces
had been reduced to less than 1000.
At the back OF the government line is
Fort Callao, the heavy guns Of which have
done good work in tho last ba tile, both In
raking the enemy by land and preventing
the insurgent fleet which had entered the
bay last night from doing anything more
effective than long grange firing
The battle continued on Sunday, but
with no decisive results.
The most intense excitement prevails in
the city. The roar Of heavy artillery and
the sharp rattle of small arms resound
through the streets and are echoed by
high hills surrounding the city.
Nearly all the women who had not left
the city have volunteered their services
rs nurses, and they and the full medical
force Of the city have their hands full.
ltis generally believed that the issue OF
this battle will decide which side will con
quer In the war.

Making Rain in Texas.

General Dyrenforth and his party
Of government engineers arc meeting with
success in their efforts to produce rain In
Texas. A dispatch from the scene Of
their experiments dated the 10Th, says:
General Dyrcnforth md his party have
once more achieved success In their efforts
70 produce rainfall by artificial means,
and all this region Is rejoicing in heavy
and widespread rAinstorm, which insurcs

which few weeks more of dry weather

This is tho second heavy rain on the

and there seems to be no reasonable

A WEST INDIAN HURRICANE.
Sweeps the Island Of Martinique
Doing Great Damage.

Advices from the French Island OF
Martinique state that Q terrible tornado
created great damage on the 29th.
SO far as can be learned There have
been nearly, II not quite, sixty deaths -
result Of tho hurrlcsne's visit, but 1t
will be some time before the full extent Of
the disaster is known.
At Fort de France there have been
twelve lives lost and In Fort dc France
and ST. Pierre, 10 say nothing Of the coun-
try districts, there have boon large num-
bers OF people injured.
The latest report received at St. Pierre
from Lalentin shows that the hurricane
counts ten victims in that place alone, In
addition to large number Of injured.
La Trinite sends in the list Of the dead
at ten and numbers more or less severely
injured.
The damage done to shipping and prop
erty may safely be classed as stupendous.
About two ffths Of tho island were under
cultivation, and the mountain slopes were
covered with forests. All the cultivation
and all the forests In the path Of the hur
ricane appear to have been swept away.
The sugar, coffee and Cocoa plantations
which have felt the force Of the tornado
seem to have been utterly destroyed.
Communication with the different parts
of the island was novor an easy matter,
and it is extremely difiicult to got detailed
nows at present.
Additional details received from St
Pierre, capital Of the island Of Martinique,
show that the facts already published are
not only in no way exaggerated, but ths
they did not tell the full story Of tho disas-
ter. The number Of dead was originally
estimated at sixty, with hundreds Of In
lured. The latest Of dispatches received
announce that 2is persons are found to
have been killed in the coast towns alone;
the towns in the interior not having boon
heard from yet. There Is no doubt that
the loss OF life In the interior towns may
have been Us great, II not greater, than in
tho coast towns, as 1t is impossible at
present to even make an estimate Of the
number Of people who lost their lives
through the cyclonic disturbances which
brought so much ruin and desolation to the
unfortunate island.
