FIRE, SMOKE AND ASHES
yOMITED FROM MOUNTAIN IN
SOUTHERN MEXICO.
Panic Among the Inhabitants-Awak-
ening OF Volcanic Forces In
Central America.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. H.-There is no
little CONSERVATION felt by the inhabitants
of many towns in the remote south country
on account of showers of ashes falling in
the extensive region from San Juan Bau-
tista, capital of the State of Tabasco, as
far north as Salina Cruz. 1t is believed
that hill near Palenque, where there is a
great prehistoric city in ruins, has suddenly
been transformed into an active volcano.
The ashes falling at Palenque have hidden
the sun and also at Comitan, and great
fear has come on the people. Palenque is
the center of the disturbance, as the burn
ing mountain is said to be near there. There
is some anxiety felt for Chiapas.
Indians arriving at San Christobal Las
Casas say hill in the Gaudeloupe Sierra
is vomiting fire and smoke. People in many
towns have been running about in terror
and offering prayers publicly for the safety
OF themselves and children. Scientific opin-
ion is that all of this is part of the general
awakening of volcanic forces in the West
Indies and Central America

SCHLEY CASE RECALLED
SLIGHT FURRY IN THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
Justice Harlan Interrupts Counsel
with q Pointed Question Prize
Money Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-There was a
brief reminder of the Sampson-Schley con-
troversy IN the United States Supreme
Court to-day. when the case of 1.-THE
United States VS.. w. T. Sampson, rear ad-
miral, ct al" was called for argument
1t involved distribution of prize money be-
cause of the capture of the Spanish cruiser
Infanta Maria Teresa in the battle off
Santiago. Chief Justice Fuller suggested
the necessity of substituting some other
name for that of Admiral Sampson in view
of the admirars death.
Assistant Attorney General Hoyt, for the
government, responded that the parties to
the controversy had supposed that the
court might make a suggestion later in the
case and that for the present the argu-
ment could continue under the present
title.
Chief Justice Fuller manifested a dispo-
stion to demur to this suggestion. urging
that the name of some other officer could
be used-"that," he said, "of Admiral
Schley or someone else"
The name of Admiral Schley did not ap-
pear to meet the approval of the attorneys
present representing the naval officers. One
ing that there would be some difficulty
about making substitution. IT., he
said, "there is to be substitution, there
remains but man who was an officer
of the fleet, and that is Captain Chadwick,
who was Admiral SIMPSONS chief of staff.
Admiral Schley's duties We're limited to
the command of division of the fleet"
II had thought it possible" responded
the chief justice, that II might be a ques-
ton of rank or title"
To this suggestion Mr.. Hayden replied:
eff Admiral Sampson had not been present
and in command there, Admiral SchIey
would have been in command Of the fleet,
but as he was present and in command
The sentence was not completed Justice
Harlan interrupted: Present where?"
The Chief Justice seemed quite interested
over the turn the case had taken. His
hands were raised, as was also his voice,
slightly. when he asked: rs that point
involved in this case?''
He was assured that it was not and
counsel took the matter of naming a new
litigant under Amusement

a policy would be like one shooting into a

Speaking of the trusts, he said among

trusts from curbstones, but not from the
floor of Congress" He suggested publicity
as one remedy for the trusts.

NEW YORK, Oct. N.-Since Saturday
morning the volcano of Santa Maria, in
the department Of Quezaltenango, north
western part of Guatemala, has been in
eruption. says the Herald correspondent
at Managua, Nicaragua. The eruptions, at
tended with terrifying roar and shock,
have been heard all over Nicaragua, Saliva
dor and Costa Rica. No damage has been
done here. but there is great alarm.
Santa Maria has not been considered an
active volcano. There are several towns and
villages near 1t. 1t is only about ten miles
from the recently ruined town of Quezal-
tenango and fifteen miles from Mezate-
mango. which has about 5000 residents The
height of the volcano Is 12,457 feet, or about
three times as high as Mont Pelee, in Mar

Guatemala suffered severely from earth
quakes several days last April, when many
towns and villages were either totally or
partly reduced TO ruins. The town of Quez-

names, were destroyed.

The Conteen Question.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is a sufficient reason why the canteen
controversy should not be taken up again
this winter that the present Congress has
appropriated half a million dollars to sup
ply the young men in the army with sub
stitutes for the outlawed beer and wines
of the canteens, in the form Of amuse-
ments, gymnastics. reading rooms and an
improved ration. Certainly 1t would be alb
surd to repeal the law which this appro-
priation was made to strengthen, before
the canteen substitutes have been tried
There Is absolutely nothing new in the ar
guments presented by some army ofhcers
and others for the restoration of the can
teen all of which have been fully consid-
cred twice by Congress and rejected as In
sufficient reasons to set over against the
two supreme objections that the govern
ment should not engage in the liquor bust
ness and that whatever may be the effect
of the anti-canteen policy on the o.d SOL
diers, no temptation to drink should be put
in the way of young men who have not
formed the habit These two arguments
gress as reasons for disseminating the sale
of liquor in the army. If II were necessary,
an argument might be made to show that
the anti-canteen law has not been sincerely
enforced and that repeal should not even
be considered until there has been an hon.
est trial of the anti-canteen policy, which
has worked satisfactorily in the navy.
and with equally friendly administration
might be expected to work as well in the
army. 1t is passing strange that the Sec
rotary of War, whose duty 1T is to enforce
the law should instead give the full weight
of his opinion in favor of repeating it, as
he did by giving out an interview against
1t the day before he promulgated the law,
and Is doing so again when new law to
support the other has just been committed
to his hands for application.

THE ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Indications Are That There Will Be
No Change Soon.

Secretary Root has recently had a con-
ference with Quartermaster General Lud-
ington and Col. Patten, in charge Of the
army TRANSPORT service, with regard TO the
bids recently received for the transportation
of troops and military supplies between the
Pacific coast and the Philippines. The low
est bid received was that of the Boston
Steamship Company. running line of
steamers between Seattle and Manila, at
rates much below the regular commercial
rates The main question to be determined
IS whether the bid of the Boston company
will Justify the government In the aban-
donment of the army transport service
across the Pacific. Although no bid was
received from lines running out OF San
city are active in opposition to the transfer
of the business to Seattle or any other port
The officers Of the quartermasters depart
ment are also opposed to the d1scontinuance
Of the army transport service, and II Is un-
dersteod that 1t has been strongly repre-
sented that present terminal facilities at
San Francisco, including detention camps.
general hospitals. etc, are lacking at other
ports on the Pacific and would have to be
provided in case OF q change In the service.
Although Secretary Root has committed
himself In favor OF the transfer or tho
transport business to private lines IL was
announced at the close Of the conference
that he Is not yet prepared to act IN the
matter and had called for additional data
as to the effect of the acceptance or the bid
OF the Boston company. 1t is expected that
final action will be taken on Secretary
and the prediction u made at the depart
ment that there will be no change In exist
ing conditions OF the transport system In
the near future at any rate.

UNDER LICENSE LAW.
Claim That Fee Should Have Been
Paid for Concert.

The Commissioner today received report
from Mr.. H. H. Darneille, the assessor OF
the District, with regard to complaint en-
tered with the authorities that the First
Presbyterian Church had given concert
for which an admission fee was charged.
The musicale was given for the benefit OF
the teacher in charge and the assessor says
a license should have been obtained.
In his report the assessor makes num-
Der Of recommendations which the Commits
sioners have approved. Mr.. Darnellle says:
THE license law requires persons con-
Quoting concerts, balls, entertainments or
exhibitions of any kind to pay license tax
of So for each day or night, or $40 for the
first week and SIS for each subsequent week,
unless such entertainments are held In
buildings the proprietors OF which nave
paid an annual license tax Of $780,
provision Is made, however, that enter
tainments given in church premises or prl-
vate residences, the proceeds OF which are
intended for church or charitable purposes.
and where no rental Is charged, may be con-
Quoted without payment OF license tax.
It has been customary for many persons
about to conduct entertainments for church
or charitable purposes to procure from the
police department free permit, but this
has not been done in all such cases.
.It Is stated, and believe 1t Is true, that
many entertainments are being held, Tor
which licenses should be procured, without
payment of such licenses. In order that
this may be obviated I recommend that the
police be instructed to require persons con-
Quoting entertainments to produce. before
it Is allowed to go on, either a license or a
free permit procured from the police depart
ment except in the case of entertainments
held In buildings the proprietors of which
have paid the annual license tax.
THE license law requires licenses to be
conspicuously posted on the premises of the
licensee, and the police should see that this
is done in the case Of licenses for entertain
