ERWIN MAY YET FIND A WAY
Government Attorney in Carter Case
Hasn't Abandoned Hope of GET
ting Greene and GaynOP.

WASHINGTON Sept. S.-Marion Erwin,
the special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral in the prosecution Of Captain Oberlin
NJ. Carter and Messrs. Greene and Gaynor,
has just returned from New York, where
he went in connection with civil suits to
recover $500, 900 of assets to the government.
Regarding the Greene and Gaynor extra
dftion matter Mr.. Erwin said: Judge
Carons decision reversing Judge Andrews
judgment and dischsrging the prisoners
from custody before we could have our
hearing before the .extradition commits
sioner is by no means regarded by the de-
partment Of justice as ending our efforts
TO accomplish the extradition. 1t is true
that we have made no appeal under the laws
Of Canada from the decision Of Judge Caron
discharging the prisoners. 1t makes no
difference how many judges may decide that
our proceedings were we'll founded, as
Judge Andrews decided in this case, II the
prisoners can find one Judge who will decide
otherwise and free them, there is no appeal
from such az Judgment, however erroneous
''The United States employed In Canada
the ablest counsel that could be obtained
there and the latter have no doubt Of the
correctness OF Judge Andrews decision
holding that extraditable offenses are
charged. While we have no appeal, l will
not say that we are entirely without rem
edy. Whatever remedies exist will be ap-
piled in the proper way at the proper time.
Meanwhile the defendants are practically
compelled to keep close to their city of
refuge. 1t is suf1cient to say that the ex-
tradition proceedings are not ended"

FIFTY CAUGHT ON VOLCANO
LabOreFS spend Terrible Night, but
MirRcuIOusIy Escape-CrOps Are
Reported Entirely Ruined.


JAMESTOWN, Island Of St. Vincent,
Saturday Sept. 6.-The sights in the Wind
ward district of this island resulting from
the eruption OF the Soufriere volcano Sep
tember 8, are very interesting. The Ra-
bacca river even now is a stream Of fire, a
quarter Of a mile or more wide The
greater part of the Rabacca estate is
wrapped in vapor and there are mimic
eruptions everywhere The river bed is
continuously throwing up columns and
dense clouds of steam, mud and pebbles.
The land has spread farther seaward and
is changing considerably the appearance
OF the district from what 1t was prior to
September 3. This was probably caused
by the ejecta that flowed down the slopes,
filling the sea about the coast
Fifty laborers, deceived by the apparent
quietude of the volcano, were working
within the fire zone Wednesday, at the
extreme north OF the island when they
suddenly saw evidene of an approaching
disturbance of the mountain. They were
unable to leave the spot before electric
flashes and an outpour OF gases drove them
to their shelter, where they remained at
the base OF the mountain throughout the
terrible night, while forked lightning darted
in all directions around them. The men
miraculously escaped unhurt and arrived
at Kingstown yesterday.
The port officers at Chateau Belair, who
saw La soufriere from the sea yesterday,
made the following reports THE noun
tain is considerably lower than before Sep
tember and the appearance Of the sum
init has changed A large proportion has
evidently been blown of and the hill has
a much more jagged contour. The neigh
borhoOd is altered. New ridges, valleys
and a strange ravine have been cut in the
west side OF the volcano, down to what was
formerly the Carib settlement Of Haracai,
where liquid matter was seen flowing dur
ing the afternoon OF September 3. The
northwestern estates, Petite Bordelle and
Sharpes, are covered with from ten to
twenty inches of gritty substance. The
crops Of Rrrowroot and cocoa are ruined"
During the night of September there
was a terrific storm, accompanied by
binding lightning and terrible peals OF
thunder and a moaning sound from the
agitated crater.

Gaslight company today in a signed letter
to the Chronicle charges that the strikers
by causing the arrest Of the assistant su-

bring about a calamity. which, If successful,
would have wrought death and destruction
to many homes. The gas boiler was very
low. With no one understanding the boiler
remaining at the works the pressure would
have been withdrawn from the mains and
the gas extinguished With the pressure
restored the escaping gas would soon have

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. s.-"A bountiful
downpour OF rain is the only remedy which
will check the cholera epidemic now rag ng
in the Philippines" So said Captain E. H.
Southall, a surgeon in the United States
army, who has arrived here on the transport
Buford. Captain southall was for a time
in charge of the cholera hospital in Manila
In speaking of the epidemic Captain South
all said
THE Americans in the Philippines seem
unable to cope with the cholera plague
Despite the rigorous methods used to sup

crease. 1t is very difficult to get correct
figures OF the mortality due TO cholera be-
cause Of the fact that the natives h de the
dead and try TO keep knowledge OF the pres
ence Of the disease from the authorities"
