GUADALAJARA, Mex, special: Juan
Maria Sojores, q cele blated weather
and earthquake prophet OF the town
OF Colilna, made public the prediction
five years ago that the Colima volcano
would enter into an active state about
the middle OF November OF the year
1904, and that this renewal OF her
eruptions would be preceded by the
severest earthquake shocks ever
known On the Pacific Coast OF Mexico,
resulting in great loss OF life and prop
erty. As the time approaches for the
fultillment OF this prophecy. the ex-
element among the poorer classes OF
people living in the vicinity OF the
volcano Is growing very intense, and
MANY people are leaving their homes
until the dreaded period Is passed.
Sojorcs claims that his prophecy Is
based on scientific principles, and that
1t will be carried out to the letter. He
has removed to this city from Collma.

ports published the affairs Of the Irish

nitely cut loose from Mccarthy and
Dillon, and, it l. added, he will carry
with him about as many men as the
Parnellites reckon in their ranks.

thizers i'll the United States.
ST. PETERSBURG special: The angel
OF death, in the shadow Of whose pin
ions the antocrat Of all the Russias
has been lying for many days, has
beckoned. and the soul OF the man
who had in his hands the lives and
destinies OF millions upon millions OF
men, was borne away. Calmly and
peacefully as a sleeping babe, he, who
by the slightest word could have
plunged Europe into a war OF horrors
Of which would defy description, fell
into the dreamless sleep which he
feared not. He. though the head of q
church whose members number over
20, OO0, 900 persons, took the last rites
a few days before death took him from
all his greatness.
BERLIN special; The prohibition
against the landing Of American cat
tie and American dressed meat, an
nounced by decree Of the Hamburg

section Of individual German states as
a preventive and sanitary measure,
and is not a matter in which the gen.
eral government has taken part Its

MADRID special: The Spanish Cab
met has resigned. 1t is believed the
crisis will be found difficult of solu-
ton. Though the cause that led 10

cipitated by colonial questions.
