TWO TOWNS DEVASTATED.
Four Lives Known TO Be Lost Heavy
Damage to Coffee Ranches.

The towns OF Pochutla and Huatucoip the
state Of onxaca, Mexico, were visited by a
tremendous hurricane ON the night of Nov

the towns and on the coffee plantations sur
rounding them. SO far as known only four
lives were lost Enrique Leon and bis
brother. Federico, owners OF q ilne nncn,
four leagues from Huatuco, were killed by
the falling walls OF their adobe house. and
their foreman, Gragorio Machado. was killed
In the pallo where he had run to escape,
Near Pochuta woman was drowned In the
San hndrcas river while attempting to cross

The settlements around Pochutlu and
Huatulco include thrifty German and Scotch
colonists, and immense sums have been ex-
pended In setting out coffee plantations On
the former plantation ten houses were blown
down and 90, 900 trees destroyed. On the
latter place all the houses of the Mozos we're
swept AWAY and they were left homeless In
the storm. On the fnca I'll Yschil, owned
by A. q. Machar, the ranch house was blown
down. the warehouse destroyed aud most Of
tho crops deluged with water and sand n
bed OF sand being left In the place OF the for
merly fertile land. All the houses occupied
by the worknen except two and all kinds OF
debris llew threw the air. On some ranches
where the trees were destroyed, great losses
resulted from the shaking down OF the cot
fee berries. Samuel Lederer's finca Camilla
suffered severely In this manner.
The lnca Ocarlen. owned by u. l.. Craw-
ford, OF Edinburgh, suffered In the loss OF
coffee berries and the destruction OF crops
already harvested. The Eaton Bros. owners

trees blowing down, destruction OF houses
and covering Of coffee land by sand.
The day after the storm looked desolate in

disappeared, trees blown up and the face OF

adrift in a boat with a maniac. who
made repeated attempts to cut her

and slashed at my throat. gashing it on

and threw my arms about him, and
told him l would not leave him. and
this quieted him for a time, but again
the frenzy came, and he tried to cut
me. He is not strong. and by claspine
him tightly I saved myself. The strug,

Bold Plan to Abduct Vanderbilt
in California.
WOULD KILL CHAUNCEY
Ana All The Other Members of the
Party-Ehc One Prisoner to lie
Held for II Lnr.c
NnUsoin.

San Francisco, April George e.
Gard. late chief of the Southern Pacific
company's detective service, came up
from Los Angeles last night, and gave
publicity to one of the most remark
able stories of an anarchistlc plot that
was probably ever heard in san Fran
cisco. The plot, according TO Mr.. Gard.
was nothing less than a conspiracy to
hold up the Vanderbilt special train
and abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
it has TRANSFERRED that the officials of
the Southern Pacific company, who
were informed through Mr.. Gard be-
fore the Vanderbilt party reached Ell
Paso, have been taking Ill possible
precautions to prevent the carrying out
of the plot.
shortly before the Vanderbilt party
reached Ell Paso," said Mr.. Gard. in
speaking of the affair at the Palace no.
tel, Il received a letter which detailed
in some degree the plans of a gang Of
extremists for making money out of
bilt. AS to my informant I do not
think it is necessary to say any more
than that he is in San Francisco.
"The letter was written from here,
and the men who are working out the
plot, so it was given to us. were MAX
ing San Francisco their base of opera
tons. The letter went on to say that
the men had been conspiring for some
time. but had not been able to agree
on any plan for making a haul until the
announcement appeared in the papers
that Vanderbilt and Depcw were on
their way to California. They imme-
diately picked out Vanderbilt for a
shining mark and proceeded to lay
plans for a hold up. My Informant was
one of the gang and in his letter to me
he said hat he would continue to act
in the role of cOnspirator and keep me
informed of their movements and any
further developments in their plans.
THE letter was the most startling
epistle l yer received. but l was con,
WINGED Immediately of its genuineness,
for l knew the person that wrote it as
well as his history and associations.
Il lost no time in going to j.. \. Muir,
superintendent of the Southern Pacific
company at Los Angeles. and laying
the whole case before him. We deem.
ed the communication of such start
ling Importance that we Immediately
entered into Geographic communica,
ton with the officials of he general
office of the Southern Pacific in this
city. Mr.. Muir telegraphed the facts
contained in the letter, so that the OFF,
Gals might have plenty of time to a
such precautionary measures as the
occasion demanded.
From what | could judge by the let
ter the conspirators had at that time
perfected no plans further than to
agree among themselves to hold up the
Vanderbilt special train at some point
in the San Joaquin valley and make
the best haul that was possible. If no
money was to be had any other way,
Cornelius Vanderbilt was to be kid
mapped. and everyone else in The party
was to be killed. if necessary, in the
accomplishment of the end IN view.

railroad company to prevent the hold

A large number of leading stock
growers from all parts Of the state
were present, as well as many repre>

and stock yards of the west, and much
interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings. There were 202 members
represented by person and proxy out
of the total membership of the associa,
ton which is 30S. A great many
proxies which had been sent to the
late secretary. H. B. Ijams, could not
be used. owing to his recent death.
On assembling President Clay took
the chair and Henry G. Hay was made
temporary secretary, the position be-

iy advised. II was suggested that a
pilot engine be sent out ahead of the
special train. but as far as I know this
was not done. The anarchists. if they
may be called such, had laid their
plans to hold up the train at some con,
venient point in the San Joaquin val
ley. and it was, therefore, unnecessary
to fear any violence below bakersfield.
This side of Bakersfield the special
train was run only during the daytime,
and it is barely possible that this pre-,
caution upset the plans of the con-
spirators.
AS everyone who kept track of the
Vanderbilt party will remember, the
visitors remained over night in their
train at Bakersfield, after visiting
Santa Barbara, and came up through
the San Joaquin valley by daylight on
Tuesday last. This. or some other
cause. upset the plans of the robbers.

Detective Gard enjoys the distinc,

quainted with train robbers. stage rob-
bcrs and crooks of other stripes as n
other man in California. and the state,
ment hat he knows the person who as
sisted in the conspiracy and then di-
vulged the plans Of the conspirators to
him can hardly be doubted.
Neither Mr.. Vanderbilt. Mr.. Depew
nor any of the members OF the visiting
party were informed of the anticipated
hold-up and left the city last evening
on their way east. without learning
that they had been made the objects OF
a conspiracy by a gang of lesperadoes.
