Fort Riley TO Washington, called
there, IL is said, by President Roose-
welt, and threatened with immediate
retirement ON the charge OF having

betrayed his condition. His anxiety
was not relieved when he heard read
q dispatch saying he was suspected
in the White House Of having furn-
ished Senator Culberson Of Texas with
details Of the charges involving Lieut..
Arnold in croelties in the Philippines.
General Miles was asked what he
had TO say in answer.
Senator Culberson seems to have
made an answer as full as one could
make, and as explicit as Senator Bev-
eridge or any enc could demand, " was
his response.
"But, for yourself, General?" he
was asked.
81 repeat that Senator Culbcrsnn
seems TO have made the reply for
which you are asking.
There is n second dispatch. Gen
cral, " was then remarked, Ito the
effect that you are peremptorily or
dered back to Washington to face
charges.
General Miles did not deign to
reply.
"ts this correct?' was persisted.
So far from evoking an answer, the
interrogation dii nothing more than
start the commanding general Of the
army of in hurry for his train.

Further Advices from ShamnI1a Show
That 1000 Persons Perished
by Earthquake,

Baku, Transcaucasia, Feb. 1s.-De-
tails which are slowly arriving at
'Baku from Shamaka, show that 1000
persons, mostly women and children,
persisted as result of the earthquake
last week, and that 1000 houses were
destroyed.
Thirty-four villages of the country
surrounding Shamaka also suffered.
To add to the terrors of the neigh
borhood, volcano near the village of
Marasy, eastward of the Shamaka, has
broken out into active eruption. A
great crevasse has appeared, whence
immense flames and streams of lava
are being thrown out. The course of
the river Geonchaika has been altered
in consequence of it's bed being
damned with earth which had been
disturbed by the earthquake.
Battalions of guards and detach-
ments OF soldiers with tents have been
dispatched to Shamaka to aid in the
work of rescue.

LED INTO A TRAP.
Detachment of British Troops Are
Outwitted by Beers and Is
Severely Handled.

Pretoria, Feb. 17.-One hundred and
fifty mounted infantrymen, while
patroling the Kip river, south of Jo-
hannesburg, February 70, surrounded
farmhouse where they suspected
Beers were in hiding. A single Boer
broke away from the house and the
British started to pursue him. The
Boer climbed kopje, the British fol-
lowing. Immediately heavy fire
was opened upon them from three
sides. The British found themselves
in trap and in a position where they
were unable to make any defense.
Eight of the British officers made a
gallant effort and defended the ridge
with carbines and revolvers until they
were overpowered. The British had
two officers and ten men killed and
several officers and 40 men wounded
before the force was able to fall back
under cover of blockhouse.
London, Feb. 17.-According to spe-
cial dispatches from Pretoria the
mounted infantrymen who were
trapped at Kip river were all fresh
from home and unused to Boer tao
tics. The bulk of the casualties oc-
Cured during the retreat of the
British. Yhe killed included Mai.
Dowell, the commander of the force.

BLIZZARD VISITS EAST.
Fiercest snowstorm in Years Strikes
New York Cfty-At Other
Points.

New York, Feb. 1S.-New York city
has borne the brunt of the fercest
snowstorm that has struck this Sec
ton of the country since the great
blizzard of 1883. Beginning soon aft
er midnight Sunday the storm in
creased rapidly until by daybreak the
whole city was completely showed UNI
der. The rising force of the gale
piled the snow in great drifts that
for time suspended traffic except
in the main thoroughfares, where
the car tracks were only kept open
by the constant use of snowplows and
sweepers. Communication between
Manhattan and Brooklyn was subject
to long delay.
The conditions of traffic were in
every respect worse than in the great
blizzard of 1888. Telegraph and tele-
phone service in New York experienced
little interruption, for while the snow
was heavy, there was no sleet to break
the wires. During the day only a few
minor accidents to pedestrians result
ed from the storm.
New York, Feb. 1s.-The eastern
part OF New YORK state from this
city to the Canadian border was
swept by blizzard such as had not
been experienced for IA years. Up
to midnight reports showed that 16
counties had received in full force
the effects of the gale and the accom-
panying fall of snow.
Boston, Feb. 1s.-After an unprece-
denied stretch of clear weather dating
back to Candlemas day, New England
was blanketed Monday with a foot Of
wet snow and swept by northeast
gale. This onslaught of the elements
impeded traffic and carried down the
telegraph and telephone wires, so that
many important points were cut off.
Fortunately there was not a large
amount of shipping off the coast, and
no marine disaster had been reported.
