SITUATION ON ISTHMUS.

An important cablegram received at
the Navy Department late yesterday
afternoon from Captain Mclean, of the
Cincinnati, falls to indicate any i'm
provement in the situation on the 18TH
mus of Panama. On the contrary,
there is every reason to believe that an
other force of marines will be sent to
Colon within few days. Orders have
already been sent the Prairie, now at
Boston. to hasten with the least pos
sible delay to League Island, for the
purpose of completing the personnel of
the ships crew, and then 60 directly to
Norfolk, where a force Of about 600
marines has beeu mobilizing under in
structions from Secretary Moody. 1t is
thought at the Bureau of Navigation
that the Prairie will leave Boston not
later than September 80. The serious
ness of the situation on the isthmus is
fully apparent to the L. S. officials and
they sought to provide a force large
enough to remain on the isthmus until
conditions there improve. The follow
ing statement was issued yesterday by
the Navy Department ga dispatch
received this afternoon from Captain
Mclean says that while conditions are
not seriously disturbed now, the present
United States force cannot be withdrawn
or diminished.

SIX HUNDRED PERSONS KILLED.
A dispatch received at Berlin from
Tashkent, capital Of Russian Turkestan,
reports terrible earthquake August 22,
the shocks continuing until September
8. One hundred persons were killed at
Kashgar, in eastern Turkestan, 400 in
the village of Astyn, 20 at Jangi, while
the town of Aksksitche was completely
destroyed. Kashgar, capital of the
province of Sinkiang, is situated at the
confluence of roads leading to Pekin, In
dia, and the Russian empire, and is of
considerable Importance. 1t has pop
ulation of 5000. The Gazetteers men,
ton the town of All Su, in eastern Tur-
kestan, and say it is an important center
of trade, the foreign traders, about 100
in number, being mostly Russian SUBJ
iects. The population of the circle
about Ah-Su isgiven at l5S, 900. There
are 4, 900 houses in the town itself. A
dispatch from Kashgar, eastern Turkes-
tan, however, says that only a dozen
people were killed there in the earth
quake, but that the disturbances wreck
ed many villages in the northern part Of
the province, the total casualties being
500 killed and 1000. severely wound
ed. There were no premonitory signs,
says, the dispatch, but a pronoun-
ced rise in temperature followed the
principal shock. The temperature con-
tinued to rise during the subsequent
days, which were attended by a repeti-
ton of slight quakes. The dispatch
says no Europeans lost their lives.

Attired in nobby black suit broad-rim-

MYSTERIOUS ELOPEMENT.

The little town cf Can e-on, in Mar
shall county, w. Va, about thirty
miles from Wheeling, is greatly ex-
cited over recent elopement, which
it is feared has developed into mysteri-
Gus murder. Maud Chambers, the
beautiful nineteen-year-old daughter of
Benjamin Chambers, one of the wealth
lest farmers of the West Virginia Pan
handle, has been for some time stu
dent at the California Normal School.
There she made the acquaintance of a
fellow-student, whose name is said to be
James Scott. The story goes that the
young people became enamored of each
other almost upon first sight. Objec-
tions to their union are said to have been
made by the parents on each side,
owing to the youthfnlness of both, where
upon they planned to elope and lost no
time in carrying out their intentions.
From California they went to Cameron,
where they were seen together two weeks
ago, just before their departure for Chi
cago. They boarded the express, hav-
ing, it is said, purchased tickets for the
western city. Efforts were made by the
parents to locate the young people, but
without success. The parents then came
to the conclusion to await developments,
supposing that the elopers would marry
in the West and return home or write
telling of their whereabouts. AS the
days passed and no letter came the rel
atives and friends of the young woman
became alarmed, and early this week
something occurred that did not lessen
their apprehension. This was the re-
turn from Chicago of Miss Chambers
trunk, which had remained unclaimed
at the Baltimore and Ohio passenger
station in that city. No intimation of
the whereabouts of the missing couple
has been developed, and the girls
friends fear that she may have been
foully dealt with. Efforts are now being
made to solve the mystery, but so far
without success.
