CLASHES ARE NUMEROUS.
Barcelona Is In Control Of Troops-Strikers
Determined and Aggressive.

| Barcelona, Feb. 20.-The city of Bar.
celona is in control of the troops, but
isolated bands of strikers are still doing
considerable damage. Rioters TODAY
| attacked prison van and attempted to
release number of strikers who had
| been made prisoners. A striker fired
on the guard, who, in turn, shot and
killed the man who fired on him, A
large lumber yard has been burned by
lncendiaries, and several, stores have
been pillaged. The captain general of
Barcelona has summoned meeting of
the proprietors of the metal works, at
which he will recommend granting the
strikers demand for nine hours work
per day.
Rloting was renewed here this even
ing and crowds of strikers paraded the
streets, doing extensive damage. The
troops charged them repeatedly but
only succeeded in dispensing them on
opening fire. The strikers then assem-
bled in large numbers in the outskirts
OF the city. It is feared they mediate
an attack upon the factories. Troops
have proceeded to the factories to be in
1OauiheoS IoI al emergency.
A serious collision between the troops
and the strikers occurred today at San
Martin, a village in the suburbs.
Here the troops fired on the mob, kill
ing three and wounding six. At Bad
elena, the mob attacked the gendarmes
and the cavalry who were protecting
the street car service and serious
melee ensued, in which one person was
killed and three wounded. At SabadelI,
also in the suburbs, the strikers burned
the actroi tax offices and convent.
Troops have been sent to Sabadell and
to other places to suppress the dis
orders.
The new project presided today at
of delegates from the strikers
and their employers, at which it was
agreed that work should be resumed
pending the adjustment of the claims of
the strikers by a mixed commission.

fic Almost Suspended.
New York, Feb. 19.--New York CITY
has borne the brunt of the fiercest snow
storm that has struck this section of tho
country since the great blizzard OF
1888. Beginning soon after midnight,
The storm increased rapidly, until by
daybreak the whole city was completely
showed under. The rising force of the
gale piled the snow in great drifts that
for some time almost suspended traffic
except in the main thoroughfares where
the car tracks were kept open only by
the constant use of snow pIows and
sweepers.
Communication between Manhattan
and Brooklyn was subject to long de-
lay. The ferry boats with difficulty
made trips across the ice choked rivers
and the work of tug boats, lighters, and
shipping generally, was almost at
standstill. So heavy was the snowfall
that the loading of vessels was stopped.
1t being impossible to keep the matches
open. Two steamers which arrived
during the night struggled as far as
quarantine, where they came to anchor.
Several steamers are supposed to be off
Sandy Hook waiting for the storm to
abate before attempting to enter the
port.

Some few years later he established the
Smith County Pioneer, which is now
one OF the leading county papers of that
state. In 1881 Mr.. jenkins came to
Washington and located at Seattle. He
aided in establishing the Daily Chron-
icle and helped edit that paper when it

he removed to Whatcom and with
others established the Daily Reveille.
Later, he served three terms as mayor
of that city. In 1890 he was census

CLEARED OF YELLOW JACK.
Havana Is in Better Condition Than It Has
Been for 100 Years.


Havana, Feb. 1S.-Major W. C. Cor.
gas, chief sanitary officer of Havana
says the principal work of the sanitary
department for the past year has had
for its object the determination of vel.
low fever, and that he has many rea-
sons to believe Havana has been actu-
ally purged from the disease. During
the past 100 years, Major Gorgas says,
yellow fever has been epidemic in Ha-
vana, and all sanitary measures that
have been taken have had no effect.
General disinfection, as carried out for
other diseases, had been tried to no
purpose, but yellow fever disappeared
upon the introduction of the system
based on the killing of infected mos
quitoes, on the theory that by such
mosquitoes only could the disease be
transmitted. Since September 2S,
1901, not single case of the fever has
been reported, and this condition is so
unusual that, in the opinion of Major
Gorgas, it puts aside all question of
chance.

GREAT MINE ON FIRE.
One Hundred Men Temporarily Imprisoned
Saved by Most Desperate Efforts.

Seattle, Feb. 2O.-The great Tread
we'll mines, on Douglas island, were as
sailed by fire ON Tuesday, February IL -,
and terrible holocaust was prevented
by the almost superhuman attempts of
everybody who could reach the scene to
stay the progress of the flames. The
steamer Dirigo, reaching port this
morning, brought particulars of the
fire. The Alaska-Mexican compressor
building was entirely DESTROYED.
Thirty-eight thousand dollars on the
stamps, mill plates and 12O stamp
mill, with the engine room were saved.
1t took the concentrated efforts of eight
two inch streams of water to master
the flames and for hours the agonized
people worked under fearful suspense;
for more than 100 miners were in the
lower workings and in imminent danger
of meeting a horrible death. They
were all rescued safely, coming out
through the old workings The origin
of the fire was not known at last re-

arms have been captured or surrender
ed, but that a number of them have
been taken by the insurgents to othe,
provinces or safely hidden.
The increase of robber bands in the
provinces of Tabayas and Cavite show
the effects of the drastic measures
adopted in Batangas and Laguna PROV
inces. General Bell says the people OF
these latter provinces never realized
the terpors of war until they personally
experienced its hardships, owing to
the closing of the ports and the concen-
tration of the natives in the towns.
General Bell believes that the insur-
gent leader, Malyar, is becoming ex-
tremely unpopular with the Filipinos.
and that when the natives cease to fear
his vengeance, many wifi be found
willing to betray him. What has been
said of Batangas province applies almost
equally to Laguna.

To Prevent More Wrecks.

Washington, Feb. 19.-As the result
of the wrecking of two steamers on the
rocks off Beams Point, between Seattle
and Port Orchard, Senator Foster

PHILIPPINE coNsTABULARY.
Captain Allen, Chief, Asks that the Forces al
His Command Be Doubled,

Washington, Feb. 20.-The war de
partment has made public a report O
Captain Henry T. Allen, sixth cavalry
dated Manila, December Is, concern
ing the Philippine constabulary, o
which he is chief. Captain Allen say
the tabulary consisted of $50,
men, and was able to control, withou
the aid of troops, the provinces o
Abra, Bontoc, Union, Lepanto, Ban
guet, Nueva Vizcaya, Bataan, Principe
and Infanta.
Up to the date of the report there
had been only two men lost from the
force by desertion-a showing attrib-
uted to the care in the selection of the
men. Captain Allen says that expert
ence has shown that the cost of a single
constable for one year does not exceed
$3.50 gold, while the cost of maintain
ing an American soldier ordinarily is
reckoned at about 81 900. Captain AL
len states that in chasing down the rob-
Der bands the constabulary is unques-
tionably more efficient than the Ameri-
can troops, and while one large garri-
son in many of the provinces may be
always necessary, it is his opinion,
after thorough study of conditions,
that in one years time Is, 900 Ameri-
can soldiers, with the native contingent
of troops and constabulary, will suffice
to garrison the Philippine archipelago.
Captain Allen says that the general
conditions of the islands as regards pa
cification have never been so favorable
as now, when the "crumbling from the
top" is duly manifested. In his opin-
ion the campaign in progress in Batan-
gas and Laguna will be the coup de
grace of the insurrection. The better
class OF people, he says, are extremely
tired of the struggle, and ardently de-
sire peace. The recently enacted sedi-
tion law, he says, has had potent
value in bringing evil doers to a reali-
zation of their allegiance to law and Or
der. In a recapitulation of the work of
the constabulary for little over four
it is shown that in Is engage
nents 20 outlaws have been killed, 20
wounded and 374 captured.

Litchfield, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-Two per-

Washington, Feb. I8.-The upex.

when the bill to repeal the war, revenue
| taxes was passed unanimously without
word of debate. This action was the
outcome of challenge thrown down by
Richardson, of Tennessee, the minority

party vote, of a special order for the
consideration of the bill which permit
ted debate upon it until 4 O'Clock this
afternoon, but cut off all opportunity of
Offering amendments, except such as
had been agreed upon by the ways and
means committee. The adoption of
the rule had been preceded by stormy
debate, in the course of which the Dem
ocrats protested against the application
OF the "gag," which Hay (Dem. va.)
charged was meant to prevent free ex-
preston, not only by the Democrats.
but by some of the Republicans, atten-
tlon being especially directed toward
Babcock (Rep. Wis., the father of the
Dill, to amend the steel schedule of the
present law. They also charged that
such method of procedure was mini
mlzing the influence of the house, max
ing it simply machine to register the
DEGREES of the few men in control,
When the rule was adopted by vote
of 15s to 120, Richardson (Dem. Tenn.)
to emphasize the fact that debate on
the Dill could accomplish nothing, and
dellberation on it would be fruitless,
asked unanimous consent that the bill
be placed on its passage. Not an OBJ
lection was voiced, and the vote was
taken forthwith. Every vote, 27S in
was cast in the affirmative.

DANISH TREATY RATIFIED.
Senate Concludes the Deal for Purchase of the
Danish West Indies,

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Yesterday, in
little more than an hours time, the
senate disposed of the treaty with Dem
mark ceding to the United States for a
consideration of IS 900 900 the islands
OF st. Thomas, st. John and st. Croix,
composing the group of Antilles known
as the Danish West Indies, and living
just east of Porto Rico, and thus, SO far
as this country is concerned, consum-
mated transaction which has been un
der consideration internationally since
the administration of President Lin
coin.
The treaty and the report on it were
read at length, and more or less dis
cussion of the Philippines was indulged
In. Cullom, as chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, made a
speech explaining the advantages of the
acquisition of the islands, and Bacon
and McLaurin, of Mississippi, made
brief remarks, saying that while they
could not indorse all the provisions of
the agreement, they would place no OBJ
stacles in the way of ratification. Ba-
con moved to amend the treaty by
striking out the second paragraph of
article 3 OF the treaty, reading as fol-
lows:
"Cullom explained all the provisions
of the inhabitants of the islands should
be determined by congress, subject to
the stipulations contained in the pres
ent convention"
He based his opposition to this pro-
vision on the ground that the constitu-
tion should extend to the islands when
they became part of the United
States. He said, however, that the
failure to accept the amendment would
aot prevent his voting for the treaty,
for he believed in the Monroe doctrine.
The amendment was rejected without
division.
