SCENE OF DEsOLATION.
Earthquake Wrecked Every Brick
building in San JacfntO


Building in San JacintO.
SAN JACINTO, Cal, Dec 26.-This lit
tie city is a scene Of desoIation today
People are beginning to recover from
the terror inspired by the earthquake
which centered here on Christmas morn
ing and destroyed every brick building
in the town, and some estimates of the
damage wrought can now be made
At the Saboba Indian reservation, near
here, a dance had been held the night
before and a large quantity OF whisky
consumed by {he Indians, it having put
them into ID drunken stupor before the
shock came. number or squaws had
huddled together in a building and were
sleeping off the effects of the liquor. The
heavy walls fell in upon them. Six were
killed outright and two died later while
a score more were badly injured. Those
killed We're horribly crushed.
Main street presents a sad appearance
It is impossible to walk along the sIde-
walks because of the heaps of debris and
overhanging walls. Two-story brick walls
were razed to the level OF the ground,
with thousands of dollars worth OF mer-
chandise buried underneath. Every bus
mess has suffered.
Electric wires are down and power
houses have fallen in. The walls of the
county hospital, erected recently at a
cost of $40, ,0O0 are badly damaged
1t is said that rumbnngs had been
heard for several days about Taquils
peak. in the San Jacinto range, supposed
to be an extinct volcano. Between San
Jacinto and Hemet geysers OF hot sui
phur water appeared yesterday, and the
fumes were so strong that no one can
get near the geysers.

BALTIMORE. Dec =26.-Prof Elliott
COUes, Of Washington, D. c., the world
famed OrnithOlOgist and scientist, died

graduated q the Columbian university. in
Washington, in 1861. He entered the Unit
cadet in 1862, and left it after

came a naturalist of high repute and
was an expert in geology, anatomy and
many other sciences. He was connected
with the Smithsonian institute the United
States geological and geogra phical sur
Neys and was professor or biology in the
Virginia agricultural and mechanical col
lege. He was one of the associate editors
of the Century dictionary al, nthAr pub
Gcations, an orinithOlOgis, of world repu-

quaintance with men of thought, the
world over than Prof Coues.

BENEFIT OF DOUBT.
1t Will BE Given Spain I'm Return Of
Philippine Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-At the cabi-
net meeting today it was decided to con-
strue that portion of the treaty with
Spain regarding the return of Spanish
soldiers and prisoners of war in the most
liberal way. By the terms of the treaty
the United States agreed to transport all
Spanish soldiers and prisoners of war
serving in the conquered territory of
Spain. Quite a numbers of disputed Ques-
tfons have been raised in connection with
the repatriation of the Spanish soldiers
serving in the Philippines and they have
been the subject of considerable corre-
Spondence between Gen. Otis and the
Spanish representative at Manila. In the
peace treaty various terms are used
Spanish soldiers" Spanish prisoners" :"
prisoners in the hands of insurgents"
etc After discussing the question today,
the cabinet decided to construe the Ian
guage of the treaty literally, indeed, to
stretch it not only to cover all Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the insurgents
who are now falling into our hands, but
their families and all Spanish civilian Off
cials and their families. All will be
transported to Spain at the expense of
the United States. Secretary Root has
no information as to how many Spanish
prisoners remain on the islands
LONDON, Dec 27.-The Daily Chron-
icle, commenting upon the decision of the
United States government to transport
the Spanish prisoners from the Philip
pines, says:
This action of the United States is
enthusiastically generous towards their
late foe. 1t can hardly fail to awaken a
responsive echo and to do much to di-
minish the bitterness resulting from the
recent war -

PARIS. Dec. 26.-The public prosecutor
this AFTERNOON began his closing speech
before the high court (senate) in the
conspiracy eases. He reviewed the evil
dence, which, he said, showed that the
conspiracy was more dangerous than
when the Comte de Paris so forgot the
traditions of his family AS to join hands
with Gen Boulanger''
This evoked noisy protest from the au-
dienee. and the accused. Jules Guerin,
called upon the president of the court,
M. FailYeres, not to permit the prosecutor
to indulge in such "Insulting remarks, -
but the prosecutor continued, saying that
the same men who conspired ten years
ago had again plotted to overthrow the
republic The Comte de Paris, he added,
was dead, but the Due dOrleans pursued
the same system.
The remarks of the prosecutor We're
soon drowned by the vehement Interrupt
tions of the prisoners. M Failleres, for
a time, family rang his bell to restore
crder and eventually the prosecutor was
heard to declare that he had decided, ow-
ing to want of evidence, to abandon the
prosecution of six prisoners, MN. Cheviel-
ly, Frenchen-Court, Brunnet, Cailly, Bond
mont and Balliere. He then recapitulated
tho story of the anti-republican machina-
tions of the Due d'Orleans and his agent,
NJ Buffet. The latter violently protest
ed, and an uproar eusued, many of the
senators demanding M. Bullets expul-
sion.
Three of the prisoners, NM. Caily,
Brunnet and Jules Guerin, then, success
sively, shouted that if NJ. Bnffet was ex-
PEELED from the sessions they also want
ed to be expelled. Perfect pandemonium
ensued. Finally the court in secret ses-
sion, decided to expel NM. Buffet and
Cailly until their counsels speech for the
