DAM BREAKS.
SWEPT ALL THE BUILDINGS FROM
ITS PATH.
One Life Lost in the Torrent, While
the Damage to Property VIII
Reach About $4,000.

Angels Camp, Cal, April 12.-The
dam of the Utica Mining company,
three miles from town, broke yester-
day Fifty feet of the north wing
gave way and the volume of water il
had confined, rushing toward the Mo-
kelumne a roaring torrent, bore with
it the body of one man and the frag-
ments of buildings that were in the
path of danger.
The man, who is known to have
persisted, is Otto Lundt, who lived
with his sister on Antonio creek below
the reservoir. He was nearly 50 years
old, unable to move with agility. Yet
when he realized the impending dan
ger, instead of fleeing, he returned to
the house in quest of 500 and some
jeWelry, representing the wealth of
himself and sister.
Lundt had scarcely reached the
house when the frail structure was
picked up by the on-rushing flood, bat
tered to shapeless rubbish. carried
along and scattered for miles upon
the shore of the fierce stream.
Of the unfortunate Lundt nothing
more was seen. To observers the mass
of water, as it struck the Lundt house,
appeared twenty feet high. 1t tow
cred far above the roof of the Struc
ture before, with terrible force, it en-
Yeloped and crushed it.
The loss cannot now be considered.
1t was understood that the construc-
ton of the dam cost about $4,000; but
the claim of the company now is that
its loss will amount to about $4,000.

the state department he says the coming
medical congress is likely to give no
little attention to a discovery made by
Dr. Louis Waldstein, a native of New
York, who has announced in German med
zeal papers the extraordinary action of
minute injections of pilosarphine. a
crystallized extract from the Brazilian
jaborandi plant, on the Emphatic sys-
TEN. This in a sense completes the cele-
brated hell serum acting favorably on
patients whom serum does not c~e. The
key to the discovery is this: By success
Sive injections Of minute doses of pilo-
sarphine in the veins he arrives at a
gradual stimulation of the Emphatic sys-
tenn. That system increases the white
corpusc1es in the blood which, in some
way not agreed upon, certainly over
come and render harmless those poison
GUS particles in the blood that produce
disease. The discoverer strongly advises
physicians to try pilosarphine in the
early stages of consumption and indeed
in all diseases involving the Emphatic
system. He has satisfied himself that it
forms a trustworthy test for the pres
ence of tuberculosis in man and animal.
The report closes with statement OF

ton, regarded as incurable, which was

DUNN DENIES IT.
KNOWS NOTHING OF THE SUICIDE
IN THE BAY.
1t is Now Alleged That the Woman's
Home Was in Denver-She Met
Dunn on the Train Between Og-
den and San Francisco.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE nnys-
terry surrounding the case of young
womans suicide by jumping from
ferryboat on Wednesday night last,
and who is supposed to be woman
known as Nettie Chase. is gradually
being cleared. The coroner of this
city, it will be remembered. received
several letters by mail on Thursday
morning, which are thought to have
been mailed by the suicide. These
letters were signed 'sNettie Chase"
and in them she accused c. w. Dunn,
a waiter, with being the author of her
ruin and the cause of her death. It is
now alleged by persons who profess
to know the woman, that her name is
Mary Elizabeth Forsythe, and that
she came from Denver three years
ago.
The name of the man is said to be
Charles Dunning, though he has sew
eral aliases. United States Postal In
spector Irwin says Dunn has been
known as James Brooks, Charles Dun
ming and c.. w. Dunn. He was arres-
ted by Irwin on April 1, 1892. for I'M
lawfully representing himself as an
officer of the postal service. The law
could not reach the case and Dunn, or
Cunning, escaped punishment.
Miss Forsythe first met Dunn on
train between Ogden and San Fran
cisco, any they at once became init
mate Dunn denies that he knows
anything of the woman, and says he
does not recognize the writing in the
letters. His record. however, as
gay Lothario is known.

IRRIGATED LANDS.
CHAIRMAN SMYTHE TALKS TO
CHICAGO PEOPLE.
Irrigation System as Adopted in
Utah in the Early Days is Prac-
ticalIy an Insurance Policy on
Crops-A Colonization Scheme.

Chicago, April 12-William A.
Smythe, chairman of the national ir-
rigation committee. offered 5000, 900
acres of land in Utah, Montana, and
Washington for sale at $3.50 an acre
on cash or mortgage payments from
the platform of the First Methodist
church last night. The offer was
made, the speaker claimed, on the
authority of Congress and the gov
ernors of the states in the territory
and in the interest of the COLOMBIA
ton scheme which Mr.. Snythe is pro-
noting. There was no purchasers in
the audience of 800, but the meeting
aroused an enthusiasm which may re-
suit in the securing of lands and
homes for destitute families in Pull
man and enough more from the city
to make up good sized emigration
colony.
The meeting was called by the
Homekeepers' association, which is
composed largely of clergymen of the
city, but the audience showed that
the labor element was greatly inter-
eSted.
Speaking of Utah. Mr.. Smythe said,

serves to be ranked among the great

commonwealth rather than a church.
Irrigation was with him a discovery

the raising on single farm of nearly
everything family needs. He found

Mr. Smythe made comparisons be-
tween the Mormons and the people of
Pullman. The former were landed
proprietors with increased values ac-
cruing on them, and every man par

latter were helpless tenants, with in

Washington, D. c., April 12.-Official ad.
vices received at the Japanese legation to-
day from Japan indicate that an under
standing has been reached between the
Japanese and Chinese plenipotentiaries
and news of a definite conclusion of peace
may be expected any time. The exact
terms of peace cannot be ascertained, but
it is understood that in response to the
repeated requests of the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries for an abatement of the de-
mands originally made by them, the Jap
anese plenipotentiaries have granted
some concessions.
Minister Kurino, of Japan, said, con-
corning the Japan-China peace under
standing announced to him by official
cable from Toxic today:
The cablegram is quite brief. and does
not recite the terms, nor does 1t say that
upon, but an understanding has been
reached between the ENJOYS by which
peace is assured. l have no doubt from
this that we will have treaty of peace
within few days.
1t undoubtedly will be concluded within
the next seven days, as the armistice ex-
pires at the end of that time. Should II
not be arranged by that time there would
probably be no difficulty in continuing a
truce now that peace understanding
has been definitely reached. There may
be some delay in arranging the details
of the new Japan-China treaty. as it will
cover all of the commercial interests of
the two countries. One of the most es-
sential items will be that of the tariff
Heretofore, the Japanese duty had per
cent. on Chinese goods and under the IA
vored nation clause all other countries
were entitled to the same rate. But with
Japan's new treaties with the United
States, Great Britain and all other coun-
tries which contain the favored nation
clause, it will not longer be possible to
give China the 5-per-cent. rate"
Mr. Kurino said that in the absence Of
definite word from his government as to
the terms of the peace understanding, he
did not wish to speculate on the terms
He regarded it as settled, however. that
entity coded to Japan. That much had al
ready proceeded beyond the stage of con-
tention. He also considered the independ-
ence of Corea as settled. This would
leave the question of indemnity, of
Port Arthur's occupation and of future
which the Japanese plepipo tentiaries may
have granted some concessions. Those
concessions may apply to one or the 9TH
err of the terms or to all of them.
The minister is hardly prepared to be-
lieve there is no occupation of Port Ar
thur. 1t is possible that term Of years
may be conceded instead of permanent
occupation.
Mr. Kurino takes a conservative view
Of the conclusion of peace. He shares
had won the right to expect as much as
the price of peace. The minister commu-
nicated the information from Japan to
the state department during the day.

leagues. Later in the day, President
Cleveland was Informed.

San Diego. April 12.-The coast de-
here with more secrecy than is usually
the case when a vessel leaves on a
leisurely cruise. The fact that Lieuten-
ant Baker. of General McCook's staff,
arrived in haste from Denver and is
believed to have embarked on the Mon
terey adds to the mystery of her des-
tination. A hint was dropped by one
of the officers before sailing that the
vessel was going to Corinto and that
the authorities at Washington INDUCED
in little fiction regarding a cruise to
Calloa to keep inauisitive people off the
scent
The sudden illness of Surgeon Whit
ing assumed so grave an aspect that
a strong attempt was made to secure
another officer in his stead for the
cruise. but owing to the short stay of
the Monterey it was impossible, and he
sailed with his ship.
The cruiser Olympia is not expected
until next week. and it is stated that
her stay will be as brief as the Mon
terey's. merely long enough to replen
ish coal and hurry away toward Near
aqua.

say. we in the navy feel sure that she
is going down the coast TO meet the

terey is probably sent to watch the.

but she might make it interesting for
her at close quarters.
1.-THE Monterey could not be handled
as quickly as the Englishman. and at
short range might suffer from torpe-
does. Out at sea. however. the Royal
Arthur would be no match for the Mon
terey. Her big guns would make no
impression on the Monterey. and those
of the latter would probably lift the
Englishman out of the water. In the
navy out here there is no such feeling
that the Monterey could not cope with

PUSH 1T ALONG.
A GOOD MOVE TO BETTER THE
POORS CONDITION.
Furnished With Soil and Seeds They
Will Surely Be Enabled to Great
~ Aid Themselves.

New York, April 12.-The first squad or
men to be sent to farming quarter-acre
farms in Long Island city by the society
for the Improvement of the condition of
the poor has reported for duty. These
were instructed in the mysteries of pre-
pairing potatoes for planting. The squad
was good example of what the general
run of those to be assisted will be and
seemed to have been selected because %
their great diversity of condition and or
binary pursuit. The plan to be followed
is very much like that of Mayor
Pringo, of Detroit.
The lands have all been unproductive
and have been mostly held for speculative
purposes. The society has plowed and
narrowed the lots which have been
staked into quarter acres, and each of
the men will be supplied with seed and
the necessary implements with which to
work the crops. About half of each sec
ton will be put down in potatoes and the
rest in small vegetables. Numerous do
nations of seed and farming tools have
been received by the society. and it is ex--
pected that there will now be plenty of
work for the unemployed.

Havana, Cuba, April u.-Jose Martl,
who was selected as president of the new
republic at the convention held at Guate-
marc, province of Puerto Principe, has
been proclaimed by the insurgents as
their chief executive. 1t cannot be denied
that considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the rebels because of Marti's cleo
ton. He lacks the popularity of Maceo or
Gomez, yet he is generally regarded as
the most learned man among the rebels.
Maceo declined the honor in a most posi-
tive manner. as he desires to be in the
field when the fighting begins. The names
of the officers of the government, with
the exception of president, have not been
made public. The new president is in the
