ANOTHER BLOW TO SPAIN
SAvAGES TAKE THE CAROLINES
1t Is Reported That the Natives
Have Arisen Against the spanish
Garrison and Captured the ISL
ands for Themselves.

San Francisco, sept. l2.--Private add
vices have been received to the effect
that the Caroline group of islands, which
this country contemplated seizing, had
the war with Spain been prolonged, are
by this time in the control of the ma
tiyes.
Two native kings of the group, who
had long been at war with each other,
some months ago declared a truce, com
bined their forces and began war against
the Spanish authorities, who sent in
vain to Guam for aid. after concentrat-
ing their forces at Ponape. The Span
iards were poorly supplied with ammu-
milton and in no position to resist a
prolonged attack.
The supposition is that the place was
captured and the Spanish garrison wiped
out. This would virtually mean the
capture of the entire group of islands.

street opposite the burning houses were
roasted.
Three river steamers were destroyed
the Edgar, Gladys and Bonaccord.
Every industry save the big Royal City
planning mills and Cleve Canning Com

ing. The fire originated from a gasoline
stove IN cabin and spread SO rapidly
and fiercely that it was impossible 10
save even clothing. The fire was con-
fined exclusively to the business portion
OF the town and the open ground inter
Vening between it and the mammoth
works of the United Verde Company

loss and suffering would have been ter
rlble. Many people from Jerome are ar
irving here on special trains, while those
remaining are being carded for by the
company.
Where the fire originated was the scene
OF drunken carousal last night, and
while no demonstrations are being made
against the men who are responsible for
it when the horrors of the deed wear
away from the victims, attention will
be given to the men who are accused.
They are said to be Italians.

HAS ADOPTED THE PROTOCOL.
Spanish Senate Agrees to Terms OF
the Americans.

Madrid, Sept 1.-THE senate has
adopted the Hispano- American protocol
by sitting and standing vote on Sat
urday.
The position of the ministry has been
greatly shaken by the charges made Fri
day against the government, collectively
and individually, by Senior Canalejas, ed
itor of FL Heraldo, and now a recognized
lieutenant in the newly organized party
headed by General Polavieja. 1t Is be-
lieved that Senior Canalejas has docu-
ment to support his accusations of in
capacity against General Correa, minis
ter of marine. A majority of the cabinet
listened to this speech. and the silence
of the ministerial deputies was most sig
nihcant.
A minister. in reply to question IS
to whether a ministerial crisis Is immi-
nent, said it was idle to attempt to con-
ceal the fact that crisis was inevitable.
and would come next week after the
chambers had adopted the governments
bill authorizing the alternating of nation
al territory as a condition of peace. The
queen, it is understood. informed Sa-
gasta yesterday that she would continue
to bestow her confidence upon him for
some days yet. Several prominent depu-
ties are in favor of joining General Pol
aviejas party.

ALGER MAKES A STATEMENT
Says He Courts the Fullest Investi-
CATION of Conduct of the War.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 10. - Secretary
Alger arrived this morning Being asked
to make statement for publication re-
lative to the charges against his admin
istration of the war department, the sec
rotary replied:
Now, what do you want me to do?
Get down in the sewer with the sensa-
tional people? They are not worrying
me. There is nothing to the charges ex-
cepting somebody's desire to make polit-
ical capital.
THE work the department has had
to do in so short time has been a very
great task. The commissary and quarter
masters departments have had the dis
tribution of more than 900 tons of pro-
visions, rations and forage daily. Part
of this has involved transportation more
than half way round the world. 1t is
not surprising that some few slips have
been made.
Il have asked the president to appoint
the strongest commission possible to con
duet an investigation into the conduct
of the war. 1t will be made up of some
of the ablest army officers and its work
will be of the greatest Importance as ap
piled to the past and as affecting The
future. Its greatest value will be in per
fecting the entire organization of thu
army and applying the lessons of thu
past"
