TICKET SPECTATORS
ROUGHLY HANDLED

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2O-An ex-
traordinary scene was witnessed here
tonight, when the Yale students made
am attack of ticket spectators and
relieved them of every ticket for the
Yale Harvard football game in their
possession. TIE spectators were Civ
en- the regulation price, 81, for every
ticket taken. In several instances
when the ticket dealers demonstrated
they were roughly handled.
The exorbitant prices demanded by
spectators for tickets had aroused
the student body and they decided to
take the matter into their own hands
Most of the tickets taken were on the
Harvard side of the field, and were
obtained in Boston by the spectators.
A few tickets on the Yale of the field
were found, however, and as every
ticket bears the name OF the student
to whom il was issued, it is expected
that there will be interesting develop
mems, in view of the fact that the
football management some time ago
threatened to publish the names OF
students whose tickets were found in
the hands of spectators.

GUATEMALA HORROR
A Recent Arrival From the South
Estimates Number of Lives
Lost at 5000.

San Francisco, Nov. 20.r-W. ]. Camp
bell, who arrived here today from
Guatemala, brings additional details of
the damage caused by the recent
earthquake. III an Interview Mr.. Camp
bell said:
There is no clear idea yet Of the
loss of life resulting from the volcano, s
eruption. but from what / could gather
before leaving the country, l believe
that 5000 natives had been killed.
There was some talk at San Jose, too,
of some of the refugees having been
waylaid by robbers, but / saw no in
stance of this. In fact, / bothered very
little about anything except the fact
that it has been impoverished, and
took the first means of getting back
TO this country. / heard at San Jose
that President Cabria was trying to
suppress the news, but he could not
reasonably have expected to do any
thing like that, for the evidence OF
ruin was too apparent to everybody
Some of the coffee fincas that nave
been entirely ruined were worth more
than 1000, 0o0. The plantation of Al
bert James. which was wiped out Of
existence, had machinery upon i
worth $500 600, all of which is destroyed
! Some months ago James refused al
| offer of 81. 900 for the fincas- Alof'
\ Meyers finca, worth $750,0e0 in gold
was entirely ruined. Both Of these I'M
/ places lay from twenty to forty mile
west of the volcano. The town o
/ Quezeitenango is practically ruined
for the houses are cracked and broker
down. the people are moving out ant
| the neighborhood is covered with SAM
and ashes"

REPORTS SAID TO BE
MUCH EXAGGERATED

Washington. Nov. 20.-A. Lao Ar
riaga, the minister from Guatemala,
has just received from his government
letters and kilograms stating that the
reports published in this country about
the loss of life and property caused
by the eruption of the Santa Maria
volcano are exaggerated While it is
true that a part of the coffee crop
was lost, the dispatch says that it is
generally expected that most of the
plantations of the affected district will
recuperate. The loss of life was very
small, and the president of the republic
from the first moment adopted the
most energetic measures of relief,
which, the dispatches say. prevented
considerable suffering and preserved
peace anG order in the affected region.
Minister Lazo Arriaga tonight en-
phaticalIy denied reports that bands
of robbers were sWarming the desc
lated sections. robbing and numbering
refugees, and said the official cor
respondence just received by him
showed that such outrages could not
be perpetrated.

FERRY HOUSE BURNED
0estructiVes Early Morning Blaze
at Alameda, caI.-Prob-
able Loss of Life.

Oakland, Cal, Nov. 20.-Fire de-
stroyed the ferry building at the Ala
media mole early this morning and nine
men who were asleep in the bunk house
narrowly. escaped with their lives.
Eight of these men have been ac-
counted for, but the ninth, Charles
Simons, a cook, is reported missing
His companions say he was seen run
ming in an opposite direction from them
and they fear he may have persisted
in the flames
Victor Dellasanta of Alameda, who
was chef employed on pile driver,
is also missing and the pile driver was
burned. 1t is feared that. he was
asleep and persisted. either in the flames
or by. drowning. The fire started on
the north side of the building, and Two
hours later it had burned to the wa
ter portion of the floor, held up
evidently by the network of tracks,
still remains. and upon these tracks
are twisted and warped ironwork OF
| the passenger coaches which were de-
| stroyed.
/ OF the forty-seven coaches that were
! lost, sixteen were broad gauge and
! thirty-one narrow gauge. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss, including coaches
/ and building. will amount to 100000
/ This is the estimate made by Super
/ intendent WOrthingtOn of the coast dl-
vision. of which the narrow gauge sys-
! tenn is a. part. The building was erected
by the late James G. Fair in 1888 and
cost originally S50. 200. Three years
later it passed into the hands of the
Southern Pacific company with the en-
tire road, and since then many i'm
provements have been made Within
the last six months the company ha'
/ built another slip and added improve
/ ments to the extent of $4,000.
The origin of the blaze is mystery
Superintendent Worthington says n
has not the slightest idea how it start
ed. but said the matter would be thor
oughly investigated. When asked 70
an opinion as to the origin, he said n
had no opinion TO offer. He admitte'
that a coal oil lamp was left BURNING
on the north side OF the building nea
where the flames were first SEEN
is the theory OF the employees of tn
road that this lamp exploded, thereb
