NO PENNY POSTAGE
Until System IL Readjusted, !,
Ssys Madden In Annual
Report.

Washington, Nov. 10. Edwin G.
Madden, third assistant postmaster
general in his annual report recon-
mends the establishment OF the follow-
ing new postage rates:
A new rate at four cents q pound
for all publications now admitted to
the second class mail, except daily, tri-
weekly and weekly newspapers, in the
general understood sense of the word
newspaper"
The consolidation of the third and
fourth classes of mail matter and that
the postage thereon be at the rate OF
one cent for each two ounces or frac-
tion thereof, to be prepaid by stamps
affixed. as. h9 81. a. 5nea
Concerning the public impression
that 1-cent postage is probable in the
near future, Mr.. Madden says It is al
together too soon to consider reduc-
ton Of the letter rate Of postage on
the mere basis that the reforms IN
second class mail matter will save
enough to the government to compen-
safe it for the loss of revenue through
the reduction of the letter rate. Had
the proposed cents per pound rate
and this anticipated rate of 1-cent per
one-half ounce for letters existed dur
ing the last fiscal year." Mr. Madden
says, "the result, based on an estimate
would have been an aggregate esti-
mated deficiency of $19,000,000. Thus
even under an increase In the rate Of
postage on periodicals as recommend
ed 1t will not be practicable to estab-
lish 1-cent letter rate before the pos
tai service Is thoroughly adjusted.

AN ALARMING
LOSS OF LIFE
Refugees From the Devastated Lands
Of Guatemala Arrive Upon the
Pacific Coast.
confirm Tales OF VOLCANOES WORK

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-The first oil
the refugees from the devastated lands
Of Guatemala arrived wednesday on
the Pacific Mail steamer City Of Para.
They came from the districts by the
inland sea and travelled over coun-
try laid waste by sand, ashes and
pumice before reaching a railway sta
tion. From the latter places they
made the journey by rail to Cham.
perico and there took the steamer to
San Francisco.
They sailed on Nov. 7, when the
volcano was still smoking and rum
bling of thunder and flashes Of light
ming gave evidence Of more eruptions
to come. These people fed from their
plantations in fear for their lives.
They escaped to the seaside with little
more than the clothing they wore,
transportation be SO difficult as to
preclude of carrying of baggage.
The refugees confirm stories OF the
loss OF life. They say that the vic
tins, for the most part, are Indians.
They had not heard of any white peo-
pie being lost. Thousands Of Indians
were asphyxiated or buried in the
sand. Miles of plantations are under
ashes and absolute ruin is the lot OF
many planters whose all was invested
In the Fincas. One refugee comes
from within half an hours ride Of
Gen. Barillos and brings information
that the general and his family arc
safe. A cablegram received here when
Gen. Barillos had been asphyxiated.
The refugees say that it Is not the
crater of Santa Maria that is in ac-
ton, but a smaller mountain rising
from one of the western slopes of San
Ia Maria, called El Fosaio.
Bands of robbers are now swarming
the desolated sections, robbing and
numbering refugees on the road and
looting the abandoned and desolate
plantations.
The people left behind on the plan
tations, It is said, are in danger, OF
death from starvation. for the food
supply has been cut off and there Is
no way to send supplies to the afflicted
districts.
Those who came on the City of Para
were the Bradwell family and Miss
Florissa Nero. The Bradwell family
consists of Ferdinand. his mother, hi7
sister Julia and brother Albert. An
other brother. Augustine, remained be.
hind to save, If possible, some of the
coffee. The Bradwells owned the Mag
nolia plantation near LAreentina and
about thirty miles south of Quezalten-
ango.
