the first one of the season, will determine
the advisability of holding others. The
same parties will be in charge as last
year and the prices will be the same. AS
this pavilion is on the bank of the river
it is most delightful place to spend
these summer evenings. Anyone wishing

Eastern Avenue.

The steam roller has been constantly
at work on Eastern avenue this month
and the road will be completely macada-
mized by the end of this month. The
work has been done with little Interrupt
tion and in thorough manner. 1t is
the universal opinion that the road is
now in excellent condition and there
seems to be no reason why it cannot be
easily and cheaply repaired. If Eastern
Avenue is success the steam roller can
be used on other streets in the village
with equal success.

40 PRISONERS SHOT.
Gen. Torres Got Revenge on Yaquis for
 Killing His Nephew

Chicago, August 11.-A special to the Chronicle from Fl Paso says:
 News was received today from Montezu- ma that when General Torres learned that his nephew had been killed by the Yaquis he promptly ordered that forty prisoners who had fallen into his hands during the engagement of three weeks ago, should be put to death, and they were accordingly taken out and shot.
 Dnver, August 11.-A special to the News from Nogales, Arz., says:
 Authentic information from the Yaqui war would surely come out via Nogales more readily than via Casa Grande, this place being nearer to the seat of war. No such thrilling stories as go out from Casa Grande are received here. Troops are hur- rying into the war region and strong de- tachments are posted in all mountain passes. When everything is in readiness strong force will surround the Yaquis where they have entrenched and wipe them out with machine guns. Those who escape will be intercepted at the mountain passes.
 Information from the scene of the Yaoui war conveys intelligence that Father Bel tram, the priest who was reported killed, is still alive and in the hands of the insur- gents. The latter have notified the author. ities that when the federal troops attacked them where they have entrenched at Ba- cum they will kill the priest. his brother and two Sisters of Charity, whom they have also taken captives.

EDWARD ATKINSON
 IS AT IT AGAIN Circular to be Sent to United States Troops in Philippines. THE ANTI- IMPERIALISM" Author Says He Was Threatened With Persecution for Treason and Sedi-
 ton Because of His Efforts
 to Convey Information.
THE ANTI- IMPERlALIST" "

Washington, August 11.-Secretary Hitch- cock and other government officials in this city have received copies of a circular signed by Edward Atkinson which the au- thor says has been or will be sent to the commissioned and non-commssioned otti- cers of each returning regiment of troops from the Philippines, together with copies of pamphlets containing articles on the Philippine situation from an anti-imperial- ist point of view.
 The circular is dated Boston, August 8, is headed "The Anti-Imperialst," and is addressed to the survivors of the volunteer regiments returned from Manila. MT. At kinson says that having been informed that telegraphic messages from the moth- CTS and sisters of volunteers from Ne braska, urging them not to re-enlist. had been refused delivery. he thought he would test that question. He then recounts his efforts to send through the mails to promi- nent officials in the Philippines the pam phlets seized by the postmaster at San Francisco some time ago for which the author of the circular says he twas threat ened with prosecution for treason and se- dition, because of efforts on my part to convey information to you citizens and volunteers which would determine you as to the work being done in this country to stop what We believe to be criminal aggres- sion in the Philipine Islands,.
 MT. Atkinson adds that the three articles referred to viz: 1.-The Cost of National Crime" "The Hell of War and Its Penal ties" and Criminal Aggression; By Whom Committed" are included in one of the two pamphlets sent to the officers of regiments, and he asks their views upon them and upon the whole course of the warfare in the Philippines, promising if lib- erty is given to print the letters to make a careful selection therefrom "whether ad- verse to the position I have taken or sus- taining it."

WAR DEPARTMENT
Took Prompt Steps to Relieve the Hur-
 ricane Sufferers

Washngton August 1.-The war depart ment today took prompt measures for the relief of the hurricane sufferers in Porto Rico. When the press dispatches and Gen. eral Davis adyices made known the extent of the disaster steps were immediately taken to send supplies, and the transport McFherson was ordered put in readiness to sail from New York on Monday next She will carry ratioas and other necessi- ties Secretary of War Root this evening sent the following appeal to the mayors of all cities of more than 150,O00 popula- tfon:
 Sir:-The governor general of Porto Rico confirms the report that upon the Sth in- stant 0 hurricane swept over that island, entirely delnollshing many of the towns, destroying many lives and reducing, so far as he can estimate, not less than 10O,oQ0 of the inhabitants to the condition of abso- hte dcstitution without homes or food. Unless immediate and effective relief IS given these unfortunates will perish with famine
 Under these conditions the president deems that an appeal should be made to the humanity of the American people. It is an appeal to their patriotism also, for the inhabitants of Porto Rico have freely and gladly submitted themselves to the guardianship of tine United States and have vountarly surrendered the protection of Spain, to which they were formerly enti- tied confidently relying upon more goner- ous and ncneheicnt treatment at our hands. The highest considerations of honor and
 Al..a ti,,ars Nf humanity to require from the United States a generous response to the demand of Porto Rican distress.
 This department has directed the imme- diate distribution of rations to the suffer- CTS by the army in Porte Rico so far as 1t is in the power of the executive but in the absence of any appropriation we must rely upon public charity.
 Tho government transport McPherson will be sent directly from the port of New York to Porto Rico on Monday, the l4th in- stant. to carry all supplies of food which can be obtained. Further transports will be sent at future dates, of which public notice will be given.
 Any committee charged with the raising of funds will receive full information and advice upon communicating with this de- partment. Very respectfully,
 EIIHU ROOT,
 Secretary of War. A report has been received at the war department from an officer at San Juan, Porto Rico. estimating that the number of killed amounts to 800. The same officer says a very serious condition of affairs ex- ists at Ponce.

McDonald.s Insolvency Doubted

Seattle, Wash, August 11.-Tn the absence of eonfrmatory advices no credence is given to the report that Alex Mcdonald, the I<londike millionaire is an insolvent. So far as can be ascertained the story of McDonald's failure is based on the mere statement of Thomas Kilkenny, returning Klondiker, to the effect that just before he left Dawson a friend of his told him that Mcdonald had filed notice of insolvency at the court house. A number of reputable Klondikers who left Dawson subsequently, to the date on which Mcdonald is reported to have filed his notice of insolvency say they have hearn nothing of it and believe the story has no foundation.
