DEATH LIST REDUCED.

 Number About Twenty-Five.

Telluride, Col, March 1.-The number of lives lost in the four avalanches that swept down the sides of Smuggler Mountain yes- terday is now estimated at from twenty to twenty-five. Fourteen men are known to have been killed, an unknown number are buried under the snow, and twelve badly injured are in the hospital, while several other men hurt are at their homes. It is believed that few, if any more, bodies can be recovered until the snow melts. The most lucid account of the first snow- slide which carried away the boarding and bunk houses and other buildings of the Liberty Bell Mine in Cornell Creek basin. three and one-half miles north of this city and buried their occupants in the gulch under masses of snow and debris was given by L. M. Umsted who Is ems ployed in packing ore from crusher to the train station.

Hodgenville, Ky, March 1.-The birth place of Abraham Lincoln, near Hodgen- vile. is advertised at sheriff's sale for taxes.
 A few years ago the place promised to be a property upon which the govern ment would spend thousands of dollars, but 1t was bought by a company of Eastern capitalists with the intention of , making it public park.

STATUS OF COURT-M MARTIAL.
Believed to Be Without Authority to Try
Major Waller

Neither the War Department nor the
Navy Department received any official in
formation yesterday to confirm the press
advices from Manila that the court mar
tial composed OF officers of the army and
the Marine Corps, appointed to try Major
Waller and Lieutenant Day. of the ma
rines, on charges OF cruelty to the Fill
pinos in the Island of Samar. had decided
that it was without jurisdiction to try
marine officers
This view of the court-martial is en-
dorsed by officers of the Judge Advocate
Generals Department of the Army, who
hold that as Major Waller and Lieuten-
ant Day were not under the jurisdiction
of the army at the time the court martial
was ordered they cannot be brought be-
fore an army tribunal for offences alleged
to have been committed while serving un-
der an army officer.
1t is probable that If he nava! author
ties decide that it is necessary to try
Waller and Day, the court martial will
be appointed by Rear Admiral Rodgers,
commander chief of the Asiatic sta
tion, and not by the Secretary of the
Navy.
There is a marked sympathy for Waller
and Day in naval circles. and it is by no
means certain that the naval authorities
will convene a new court for their trial.
The official reports to the Navy Depart
ment on the expedition across Samar,
during which the alleged acts of cruelty
were committed, state that waller and
most of his officers and men were not
mentally responsible for their actions on
account Of the terrible suherings which
they had experienced. and that they we're
'disOrdered in their reeollections' OF the
events Of the expedition.

PACIFICATION OF SAMAR.
No Advices From General Chaffee Re-
garding Expected Surrender.

The War Department has had no word
from General Chaffee in regard
to the expected surrender in Samar of
General Lucbans' successor. Nothing def
mite has been received to show who sue
cecded Lucban. though several reports
have connected an insurgent named Ger
vante with a continuance of the insur-
rection in Samar.
Recent advices from General Chaffee
show that the backbone OF the revolution
in Samar has been broken. and that lit
tie remains to be done to pacify the is
land. The surrender of Lucban did much
to end the trouble. and with an active
campaign against the insurgents it is not
believed that Samar will long remain un-
pacified.
MANILA. March 19.-Gen. ]. II. Smith,
the commander of the American troops in
Samar, has arranged an armistice with
General Guevarra. who succeeded LucbanI
as commander of the rebels on the island.
Guevarra has promised to surrender with
his enti-I force, and all arms and ammu-
milton. He has approximately 400 rifle
men. The rebels will receive $50 for every
rifle surrendered.
General Chaffee considers that this will
end the rebellion on the island, and that
the toughest military problem yet pre-
sented has been solved.

read the clipping and then remarked:
Well, that is a trifling matter COM
pared with some of the more important
things that am interested in just now"
DO you regard a suit for divorce
against man as a trifing mattor?" was
asked.
1T is trifling so far as the public is
concerned. have more important mat
ters to lay before the public than specu-
lations about possible divorce suits.
There are great national questions to be
discussed now and / am very much in
terested il them. I am engaged in writ
ing n book on colonial expansion. That
is the object of my journey here and I
am not worrying about mere personal
matters.
Are ycu not surprised at the state
ment that your wife is about to bring
suit against you?"
do | look surprised? Am l ready to
drop to the ground with astonishment?"
was the way Mr.. Rigelow met the ques-
tion.
Mr. Bigelow's attention was called TO
statement in a newspaper article that
Mrs. Bigelow in a recent magazine story
which she had published laid considerable
stress upon the way in which the rela-
tions between a husband and wife some
times become strained Mr.. Bigelow
looked at the extract from his wife's
story and said:
Really, l do not remember ever hav-
ing seen that story before. AS matter
OF fact / cannot recall details about all
my own manuscripts and / surely cannot
be expected to remember everything my

Philadelphia Cinnamon were en- route to
Chesapeake City with the intention OF
securing Florence Lee. the fifteen-year-

TO SURVEY FOR NEW ROAD.
Route the Queen Anne's Extension Will
Probably Take.

DENTON. Nd. March 1S.-Mr. William
D. Uhler and corps of assistants will
soon begin the survey of the proposed
southern branch of the Queen Anne's
Railroad. He will start at a point be-
tween Denton and Hobbs, touch Federals-
burg. thus traversing about fourteen or
fifteen miles of Caroline territory. From
Fredericksburg the route will likely be to
Sharptown. and then a direct line to
Salisbury and Snow Hill. This branch
will about double the mileage OF the
Queen Anne's Railroad Company. and, it
is believed. will double its business.
Seventy l:ading taxpayers of Denton
have petitioned the town commissioners
to build waterworks this year. and 1t is
likely that action will be taken promptly
1t will be unnecessary to have additional
legislative authority, as law passed
some years ago authorizes a bond issue.
1t is thought that a plant sufficient for
the town can be constructed for less than
$40 600
