An EXTRAORDINARY volcanic Eruption.
A writer In McClure's Magazine gives
the fullest and most interesting ccoun
OF the great Krakatoa eruption that
has yet been printed In popular form.
This extraordinary c%onvulsion occurred
ON that little island in the Straits OF
Sunda, between Java and Sumatra. on
Aug. 26 and "a, 1883. The island was
not inhabited and Its highest peak was
only 1900 feet, while nearby there are
mountains of $4,000 feet. The volcano
had been quiescent for two hundred
years. In May, 1883. II began to show
signs OF u~neasiness, and by the last OF
August the walls Of the craters had 60
crumbled away that the ocean began to
fiow In, and q tremendous warfare be-
tween water and fire began. On the
9th came the blow-up, the greatest ex-
plosion the world has known since rec
ords were made. The noise was heard
at the island OF Rodriguez, which Is
2,96S miles distant. That Is equal to
a noise at Philadelphia being heard at
San Francisco! Mapping out the area
over which the noise was heard, Il is
found to be one-thirteenth OF the sur
face OF the globe. The sea waves that
resulted were felt at the Cape OF Good
Hope, distant 5000 miles. Their aver
nge speed was $50 miles an hour, and
nearby they were terrible. The lives
lost are figured with remarkable pre-
cision at $3.50. The explosion set air

against him In the event OF his memory

the Scottish poet. who died In the early
part OF the century. was also remarka-

lated on one occasion upon his aptitude
for remembering things Dryden replied
that he often found his memory q

expressed at this, w%hereupon the poet
replied that he often wished to recall

SITES FOR TWO CAMPS
americans Will BE Located at Guam
ajay and Near Guanabacoa

HAVANA, Oct. 12.-The sites for at least
two American camps have already been
selected by the commission appointed for
that purpose. The first will be outside
Guanabacoa, across the bay from Havana
and the second will be at Guanaiay. twenty
miles from here. The main object in vieu,
in the selection of the camps besides the
healthy location is the possibility of an
preaching them from the sea without hav-
ing to enter the harbor of Havana which
is considered to be the main source of in
fection. The Guanajay site is only a counle
of miles from Mariel on the east. and there
is a splendid wagon road between them. The
engineers attached to the commission are
studying the possibility of making a wharf
east of MORO Castle the landing place for
Guanabacoa camp. but it presents serious
difficulties. The engineers expected to leave
next week to select camp locations at Ma
tanzas. Cardenas and Bayamo, going as far
as Santiago.

AWARDED TO THE BLUES
HOOSIER CLAIMS FOR THE BALL
CHAMPIONSHIP IGNORED.
Decision of che Executive Board of
vOr of the Kansas City Club.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Kansas City has been
awarded the Western League baseball
championship. Magazines of the league met
here to-day to close up the years business.
The principal question before the executive
board was the championship, which was
claimed by Indianapolis. despite the fact
that Kansas City led in percentage. The
claims of the Indianapolis team were based
on three distinct points:
First-That the ''double-header' played
between Kansas City and Minneapolis early
in the season is directly against the rules of
the league.
Second-That the game between Kansas
City and ST. Joseph, which was called on
account of condition of grounds, should be
awarded to the latter club.
Third-That Detroit should be credited
with the disputed game with Kansas City.
If the decision of the board of directors
had satisfied these three claims the per-
centage would have been so changed that
the pennant would have gone to Indianapo-
lis, but the board did not so will.
Tho points in consideration were care
fully weighed by the board and, after long
and heated arguments it was decided that
the championship rightfully belonged to the
fans from Kansas City, Those present at
to-day's meeting were: President Ban
Johnson; II. ]. Lotus, Columbus; Z. A.

PRISONERS TORTURED.
Authorities of Salvador Charged with
Extreme CrueIties.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.--The steamer
City of Panama arrived to-day from South
American ports. The vessel brings news Of
executions and horrible cruelties perpe-
trated upon political prisoners in Salvador.
Referring to the execution of prisoners Ell
of the republic, Los Vezea da Isalio, a
prominent citizen was shot, while Don
Angel Vasquez and Don Delfin Barrios died
in prison as the result of cruelties on the
part of General Aravalo. In the police sta
tion Don Venanzio Salazar and DR.. Jesus
Valdes were triced up by the thumbs, and
Colonels Don Cervando and Don Virgilio
Valencia were shot. The officers had dis
tnguished themselves in the army under the
regime of the President. Continuing, the
ladies have been expelled from Salvador,
among whom is the wife of Don Macario
Martinez, one of the most prominent citi-
zens of Salvador city. Furthermore, under
the direction of General Villiegas, five per-
sons were shot in San Pedro, while at San
Miguel many were executed by General
Villaviencio. 1t appears also that the editor
of Ell Jatijo journal of Salvador, incurred
the displeasure of the government owing
to the publication of several articles in his
journal in defense of certain students. For
his offense he was publicly whipped, as was
also the judge who rendered decision in
favor of the students.

OCCUPATION OF MANzANILLo. !.
Spanish Civil Officers Suspended, De-
Spite Their Protests

SANTIAGO DE CUBA Oct. ia dis
patch from Manzanllo to the Office of the
Associated Press here says now that the
American flag is flying over that city the
Cuban element has come to the surface.
The people are seemingly enthusiastic The
mayor and collector had both received in
structions not to turn over their offices to
the Americans except under protest and in
the presence of the consul and notary. In
the office of the collector was found a cable
message from Senior Montero, the chief of
customs at Havana notifying him that the
military occupation of the Americans was
not to affect the civil administration. which
is still under autonomous government, and
to remit regularly all funds to Havana by a
trusted messenger. The mayor or alcalde,
had similar instructions from the minister
Of justice, but Colonel Ray, the American
military commander at Manzanillo, is not
the man to stand nonsense. He Immediately
suspended the protesting officials and tenn
porariy appointed others. Not a cent, how
ever was found in the treasury.
Colonel Ray to-day received message
from Senor Masy. president of the insurgent
government asking our commander if he,
Maso, could make an unofficial visit to Man
zanillo without being dscourteously treated
by the Americans in authority. The colonel
replied that he would be glad to receive
Senor Maso. who probably will arrive on
Thursday The arrival there of the insur-
gent president will probably simplify the
important question of the disarmament of
the insurgent forces in the Manzanillo juris-
diction.
General Rios, the Spanish commander,
apparently thought the insurgents would be
given the civil government of Manzanillo
and he was astonished when he found this
was not the case.
The steamer San Juan has left here with
100000 rations.
The Spanish Club here, fearing trouble,
has closed and a company of the Fifth
regular United States Infantry is stationed
in its neghborhood to keep order.
General Wood recently received word that
an attack upon the Spanish bank had been
planned, and though he did not believe this
to be true, he deemed 1t wise, as a matter
of precauton,. to send two companies of
troops to guard the building.
There are about two thousand Jamaican
negroes in this city waiting for work, which
is not to be had.

sPANIARDs PANIED.
Feelings Lacerated Because Uncle
Sam Won't Assume Cuban Debt.

MADRID, Oct u. - The rumors which
have been published here as to the attitude
of the United States peace commissioners
are described as having caused a painful
impression, especially the reported decision
of the American commissioners not to recog-
nize the Cuban and Porto Rican debts.
PARIS, Oct. 12 The sitting yesterday Of
the joint peace commissions of the United
States and Spain was devoted, according
to the Gaulois, TO an examination of the
solution which 1t is possible to give to two
questions in the protocol. The Philippine
question. the Gaulois adds. was discussed
incidentally, the United States commission
ers seeking to impose system Of compen-
sation for claims connected with the entire
group by assuming the debt, provided Spain
guarantees the Cuban debt. The Spaniards

to assume the Cuban debt and to hand over

trip from Santiago. They Travelled most of
the distance on horseback, and on the way
visited number of Cuban camps, where,
Colonel Rowan says, want and destitution
abound. The colonel had an interview with
General Gomez and found the insurgent
commander eager to cooperate with the
United States. Gomez was in favor of the
Cuban army being disbanded so soon as the
Spaaiards evacuate the island and per-
manent form of government is established.
1t is probable that Gomez will be elected
President. He is in favor of general elec-
ton in which Cubans and Spaniards will
alike take part and in which all taxpayers
will have a vote and voice.

distribution of rations brought by the Red
