Leonard Wood, the military Governor,
is determined TO do all in his power to
enforce neutrality.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It devel-
oped to-day that the orders given TO the
gunboat Machias, directing her to pro-
ceed TO Santiago de Cuba and then
cruise along the north coast of Cuba
in the vicinity of Baracoa, were sent
at the request of the War Department.
which has telegraphic information of a
large filibustering expedition whose
destination is San Domingo. There
is DISPOSITION to believe that 1t is this
expedition which Jiminez hoped to take
to San Domingo.
General Brooke and Commander Lo-
gan have been advised that the neu-
trality laws of the United States must
be observed, and there is no intention
on the part of this Govern
ment Of permitting San Domin-
go to again infer that the
United States winked its eye at
filibustering expeditions, as appeared to
be the case when the Fanita was used
by Jiminez in his expedition of a year
or SO ago.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug. 18.-Ad-
vices from San Domingo say the Gov
ernment there is growing desperate,
apprehensive Of the arrival of Jiminez,
leader of the revolution, who is momen-
tarily expected. His arrival, it was
added will completely turn popular
opinion, Which has been partly unde-
ctded. Consequently the chief object of
the Government is to intercept JimineZ.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 1S.-I have
just completed a trip through the
southern and most distressed districts
of the island. The misery is very great
and is more apparent now than it was
Immediately after the storm, but the
Government has the famine districts
we'll in hand and has shown itself COM
petent TO deal with the situation.
Relief is being rapidly and effectively
distributed. Each post commander has
received $1,000 and limited supplies of
food for distribution. More supplies are
being forwarded as fast as possible.
Each commander has appointed a dis
trict officer who dispenses food and
money or gives employment.
Mayors of towns receive no money or
supplies, but with scarcely an excep-
tion they have rendered valuable as
sistance. Besides a loss of crops the
loss of life has been extremely heavy.
Coming from almost every by road pa
thetically humble funeral professions
are met, the bodies being wrapped in
palm leaves. The majority of the dead
were washed away. The Aibonito dis
trict has suffered severely.
The official figures given by the al
calde are: Killed by the storm 20;
wounded, so; houses destroyed in town
and country surrounding, 1928 The
barracks in Aibonito were totally de-
stroyed. Many soldiers had a narrow
escape. One was killed and several

In the country district of Juandiaz,
says the Mayor of that town. los per
sons were killed in the storm and many
are i'll. The result is much misery
Provisions are scarce.
In all the country districts reports of
danger from infectious disease have
been exaggerated. The only danger is
from fevers arising from hunger.
In Ponce there may be some infec-
ton, but even here the authorities may
be able to keep disease under control if
1t breaks out. Army surgeons in all
town are visiting the invalids daily.
In all the districts in the island ex-
treme poverty is likely to continue for
at least two years.
The whole of Ponce Valley from
Juanadiaz down is a complete ruin

bodies of cattle and general debris are
scattered everywhere. The highway
cannot be picked out in the midst of
the wreckage and travelling is danger

In Ponce repairs are being pushed
rapidly. The streets are being cleaned,
but the carts available are not suffi-
cient to remove with speed the often
sive matter deposited by the flood.
Local stores are resuming business

been re-established with San Juan.

NATIVES PREPARING
FOR TROUBLE IN SAMOA

APIA, Samoa, Aug. 10. via Auckland,
Aug. 19.-Although the general situation
is quiet the ill-feeling between the na-
tiyes continues and further trouble is
feared. They are busy making copra (the
dried kernel of the cocoanut), and it is
reported that they are boarding money to
build boats and buy arms. Mataafa has
addressed letter to the Samoan Com
missioners. He urges that there should
be no killing and suggests that DR.. Solf,
German President OF the municipality Of
Apia, be the head of the Government
1t is reported that Mataafa himself will
be elected Governor, but this rumor lacks
confirmation.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 1S-A special
from Idaho City says: Placerville.
Idaho, is in ruins tonight A fire
started at about I o'clock this evening
IN the Feasey Hall from an overturned
lamp. For over four hours the fire
ragged furiously and the flames at this
hour ll:SO are still dancing like spec
ters over the embers, lighting up spas
nodlcalIy the awful gloom through
which peer dozens OF homeless and
heart-sick people. With the exception
OF lew residences the town is wiped
out.
The business portion is completely
destroyed, together with a number of
residences in the main portion of the
town. 1t is impossible to secure all the
details tonight, as the telephone wires
are down. All the information has come
from Centerville, which is seven miles
west of this place, and about four miles
east OF Placerville. The fire originated
in the hall owned by John Veasey. The
interior OF the place was soon abIaze,
and the flames burst through. The
town had no fire protection. and all the
water that could be secured was from
wells. The hall burned like tinder and
in a short time the fire had spread IN
adjoining buildings.
The rows of wooden buildings fur
nished excellent food for the flames.
while they met with practically no re-
sistance. Idaho City has sent three
wagon loads of provisions and clothing
and dozen wagon loads of tents, pro-
visions, etc, have been started from
Boise. The loss is estimated all the
way from $500, 900 to $500, 900, with very
little insurance. Placerville was one of
the oldest towns in the State, having a
population of between 500 and 700 The

7 T AVANA, Aug. 1S.-In view of the
IL fact that Colonel Bacallao, chief
| of the secret police. persisted in
i i his declaration that General
Jiminez, the aspirant to the
Presidency Of San Domingo, was in
Havana, either not having left or hav-
ing returned, the military authorities
telegraphed to Cienfuegos instructing
Captain Stamper, Collector of Customs
there, to ascertain whether Jiminez was
on the Menondez steamer and TO take
him under arrest if that should be the
case. Just as the steamer was about
leaving Cienfuegos Captain Stamper To-
Gated Jiminez and arrested him. Jimi-
neZ denounced the arrest as an outrage.
He said he had broken no law and
would not yield except by force. Cap
tain Stamper replied that he was ready
to use force if necessary, and JimineZ
then yielded, remarking that he did so
only because he could not help himself.
Senior Frias, Mayor of Cienfuegos re-
fused to make the arrest, claiming that
General Jiminez was an old personal
friend whom he had known intimately
for years. When JimineZ was taken
into custody SenOr F'rias was fnund

conceal himself and to wait for a better
opportunity.
