Earthquake in Guatemala.

San Francisco, May 26.-By advices
brought by the steamer City of Para
it is learned that in ninety seconds
1000 people We're killed, over 1000
manned and crippled and the city Of
Quesaltenango, of 10000 people, de-
stroyed by the earthquake of April 18th
in Guatemala.
A man who was in Guatemala at the
time of the disturbance, whose coffee
plantation is only a few miles out from
Quesaltenango, was passenger on the
City of Para. In speaking of the earth
quake he said: There were three dis
tinct shocks, each more severe than the
one preceding, but the damage was all
done within a minute and half.
Among the wealthier class the loss of
life was comparatively slight, prob
ably less than 100, though many were
bruised and injured. The surrounding
towns of San Pedro, San Marco, San
Juan, Ananiatlan and Solola We're also
destroyed, and the total dead in these
places will number nearly 1000.

Fierce Forest Fires.

Denver, May ga Republican spe-

The worst forest fires in the history
of the mountains of the continental di-
vide, the Collegiate range and the San
gre de Cristo. More than dozen fires
can be seen from this city, and to-day
the worst of them all became apparent
in the foothills of Ouray mountain,
southwest of here. The cloud of smoke
rose until it was blended with the
clouds of the zenith, and railroad men
this evening report that in coming
down the road from Marshall and Pom
cha passes the flames rose until they
could be seen high above the interven-
ing hills.
The oldest of these fires has been
burning for a month. and great tracts
Of territory are denuded of timber
The water supply and grazing grounds
will be materially injured and the loss
of timber will aggregate vast sum
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Forty.Five Per Cent. Fail.

New York, May 25.-The Presbyter
ian General Assembly adopted the re
port of the standing committee on
church erection. The report opens by
saying that forty-five per cent. of all
churches established. sooner or later
cease to exist, but that this is no rea
son for ceasing to aid in building new
ones. The report commends the WORK
of the board of church erection during
the year.
The board commenced the year with
S193,275 and spent $205, ,269. The board
begins the coming year with an empty
treasury and only contributions re-
ceived after the annual report had been
completed enabled it to report no debt.
Tho hundred and fifty-nine churches
were aided during the year to erect
new structures.

fires have not quite burned themselves
away. The ground is warm, hot air

DENVER STRIKE CONTINUES.
Thousands Quit Work and Building
Operations Cease.

Denver, May 27.-The most extern
sive strike ever called in Denver com
menced yesterday morning, when
about 1000 mechanics remained away
from their places OF employent in
obedience 10 orders from the building
trades council. which has undertaken
the task of forcing the planning mill
owners to operate their plants on the
eight-hOur system. Upward of 1000
members of unions worked during the
day, part of them finishing work on
buildings to protect them from the
elements. and others having received
no instructions to strike from the lead
ers of their organizations. To-day,
however. ii is expected that every me
chanic directly or Indirectly affiliated
with the council will stop work and
the strike will be complete. The be-
lief of the bosses that the carpenters
would secede from the building trades
council last night and thus break the
force of the strike, was not well
founded, for the carpenters voted to
endorse the council and 90 out in
body. All the other affiliated trades
did the same thing.
No one interested processes to fore
see when the strikers will return to
work. The woodworkers are faced by
the mill owners, who have persistently
declared they will never concede the
demand Of the union for an eight-hour
day made at the direction of the coun-
ell. The mill owners enjoy the pass
i've cooperation of the contractors and
builders because to a great extent the
mills furnish the materials to carry
many contractors financially while
tthey are fulfilling contracts.

wALLER's ACTS CONDEMNED.
Review Of court-Martial Very Severe
on Lieutenant Day.

Manila, May 27.-The official find
ings Of the court-martial that tried Ma
jor L. W. Il. Waller and Lieutenant
John A. Day of the marine corps for
executing natives on the island Of Sa-
mar without trial, have been made
public. The reviewing authority Of
the court has expressed it's disapproval
of the courts findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Major Wal
Ter, the reviewing authority says:
''The sending Of the natives in ques-
ton to their deaths partook more Of
unlawful retaliation. than justifiable
act Of war. In justice to the Ameri
can military service, the findings of ac-
quittal demand' that they shall not
meet with unqualified approval.
1.-THE marines in Samar underwent
great suffering before their rescue and
their officers from their sick beds
voiced the revengeful anger of the
men, who telephoned to Major Waller
advising that the stevedores be killed.
Major Waller received this message
while he was sick from fever, suffer
ing acute pain of body due to expos
ure, and his exertions in behalf of his
men and mental anguish concerning
their fate, which had long been in
doubt. Major Waller was at the time
in telephone communication with Cen
eral Smith, who commanded the Amer
ican forces in Samar, but he delib-
erately chose not to consult General
Smith regarding his contemplated ac-
ton, and rather than fOrego the eXecu-
ton of his unrestrained will he as
sumed power that the laws of war and
the customs of the service confer upon
commanding officers only in time of
war.
''Giving heed to the mental attitude
of Major Waller, as much of the find
ings of the court as are to the effect
that Major Waller is not guilty of
murder are approved. But the review
ing authority is at n loss to under
stand why the court did not find
against Major Waller in the minor of
fense, With the exception noted. the
acquittal as it appears in the record Of
the proceedings is disapproved."
Referring to the case of Lieutenant
Day, the reviewing authority says:
'The accused knew that for three
weeks Major Waller had undergone a
test of his mental and physical endur-
ance such as few men are called upon
to suffer.
while fully conceding the grave re-
sponsibility assumed by a subordinate
officer in willfully disobeying an order
of his commanding officer, still the
weighty reasons related with which
Lieutenant Day was acquainted SO
tainted Major Waller's order that Lieu
tenant Day should have been prompt
ed to positive disobedience. An Off
Ger must be conscientiously regardful
of the unquesdoned legality of his
agency in taking the lives of his fel-
loYmen. Above and beyond all per-
sonal consideration, officers must
guard the name and honor of the
country. Had Lieutenant Day been
actuated by such consideration he
would probably have prevented one of
the most regrettable incidents in the
annals of the military service Of the
United States"

DEATH OF LORD PAuNcEForE.
Distinguished British Ambassador
Dies of Asthma and rheumatism.

Washington, May 25.-Lord Paunce-
fote, British ambassador to the United
States, died at the embassy yesterday
morning at 5:35 o'clock.
At his bedside when the distin-
guished diplomat passed away were
Mrs. Pauncefote, the Honorable Maude
Pauncefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss Aud
rey, DR.. Jung and Mr.. Radford, one of
the clerks attached to the embassy.
AS soon as it became generally
known that Lord Pauncefote was dead,
fiags were half-masted over the diff
ferent embassies and legations. At the
Arlington hotel, where the visiting
Frenchmen who have come to witness
the Rochambeau statue unveiling are
stopping, the French flag was placed at
half mast.
All through the past winter Lord
Pauncefote had been a sufferer from
intermittent attacks of asthma and
rheumatic gout, but he bravely kept
on his feet as much as possible, went to
the State Department regularly on dip
lomatic days and generally strove to
keep up his active duties, though it was
evident that the effort it caused him
was great. In the early part of March,
the ambassador went to North Carolina
on visit to George Vanderbilt at Bilt-
more and stayed there for about fort
night in the hope of recuperating from
his affliction in the Carolina pines. He
returned to Washington about the mid
die of the month with his sufferings
but little abated. In April there came
another severe attack and from that
time until his death the ambassador
had been confined almost continuously
to his bed, and his strength had been
slowly but surely leaving him.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps at Washington now devOlves
upon DR.. Won Holleben, the German
ambassador, and upon him will fall the
duty of directing the diplomatic body's
action on this occasion. The entire dip
lomatic corps will attend the funeral in
q body.
