HAVOC N GUATEMALA
Now Known That Volcano Really
Did Enormous Damage.
CABRERA SUPPRESSED NEWS
President of Republic Exercised
Strict Censorship, Says a Steam
ships Officers. In Order to Com
ceal the True State of Affairs.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-The steam
ship Newport. from Panama, brings
particulars of the recent eruption OF
Mount Santa Maria, in Guatemala. Ac.
cOrding to the officers of the Newport
the destruction of life and property has
been immense. The necessity for re-
lief ships is urgent. The coffee planta-
Chuva. Reforma, Palmar, Costa Grande
and KOlhutz have been buried seven
feet deep in volcanic ashes and debris.
Thousands of cattle have been de.
stroyed.
When the Newport was at Champeri-
CO. the officers found the people of that
port panic stricken. The steamship
Acapulco, bound south. arrived ut
Champericp while The Newport was
there and carried to San Jose de Qua
temala all the passengers that could
crowd aboard.
Difficult to Get Details.
Details from the scene of the greatest
damage were hard to get. kOk, Haga-
mann 4 Co. offered $1,000 to any per-
son who would go to their Miramar
plantation in Costa Cuca and bring
them news of conditions there. When
the steamship Newport sailed, this Of
fer was still standing. no man having
been found who dared to go into the
ash covered interior. '...
President Cabrera Of Guatemala has
resorted to the most stringent means to
prevent particulars of the extent of the
damage from reaching the outside
world. Cable messages are strictly CEN
sOred. and the people most interested
in the afflicted districts are finding the
greatest difficulty in getting the most
meager reports.
The Newport brings news of the tota!
destruction of the towns of Palmar.
San Felipe, Colombia and Coatepec.
These places are completely buried in
debris from Santa Maria. Rethalhuleu,
Mazatenango and QueZaltenangO have
so far escaped with little damage.

Washington, Nov. II. : Secretary
Hay has informed the navy depart

phase that he no longer has any sug-
gestiOns to offer as to the further dis
position of the American sailors and
marines who have been doing guard

doubted. however, that the result will
soon be the withdrawal Of the Amer

ARMY POST AT CHICKAMAUGA
Advisability of Constructing Permanent
Quarters Under Consideration.

Secretary Root and Quartermaster
General Ludngton held a conference
yesterday in regard to plans for es-
tablishing an army pest at Chickamauga
Park, Ga. The Seventh Cavalry is now
camped in the park. and the War De
partmcnt is considering the advisable
ity of constructing barracks there for a
permanent post.
Preliminary steps to this end were
taken several days ago. when beard
of army surgeons were sent to Chicka
mauga to investigate the appearance of
typhoid fever among the soldiers and
to report whether or not the disease
was due to LEGAL conditions. The opin-
ion of the medical officers is that the
epidemic of typhoid of 1898 is in no way
responsible for the recent cases, that
the water supply is not infected. and
that nothing exists to prevent the es
tablishment CT permanent army post.
Should the post be established the
park will be declared military reser-
vaticn, and in the near future will be
used for annual field mancuvers by
Regular Army and militia organiza-
tionS.

RULES FOR SELECTION
OF CLASSIFIED LABOR
Draft Prepared by Seore-
tary Wilson.
To Govern In All Executive Depart
ments-Fitness for Manual Labor
Only Qualification.

The officials of the Department o
missioners, in pursuance of the recen,
ruling Of President Roosevelt announc-
| ing the future organization of boards o.
labor employment, have prepared rules
for the governance of the board which
will select and appoint the laborers fol
the Department of Agriculture In the
future.
The other executive departments will
use the rules drawn up by Secretary
Wilson and his staff as model from
which to prepare similar rules to gov
ern this new classified service.
The board is to consist of no less
than three persons selected from diff
ferent political parties as far as prac-
ticable. Political or religious aftilia-
tions are to have no weight in the Sc
lection of applicants for position, and
no person incapacitated by wounds. ex-
cept United States soldiers, are to be
employed.
Fitness for manual labor is the only
other qualification necessary besides
those named. and it makes no difference
whether the applicant can read or
write. The Civil Service Commission
will have supervision over the govern
ing boards.
The rules drawn up for the, Depart
ment of Agriculture further state that:
"A person selected for appointment
shall receive certificate for a proba-
tionary period of six months, at the
end OF which period, II his conduct and
capacity are satisfactory to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, his retention in the
service shall be equivalent to his abb
solute appointment; but /: his conduct
or capacity be not satisfactory he shall
be notified that he will not receive alb
solute appointment because of such un-
satisfactory conduct or want of capac
ity, and such notification shall dis
charge him from the service.
Removal during the probationary
period or after absolute appointment
shall be made without any regard to po-
litical or religious affiliations When
ever person is separated from the po-
istion OF mere manual laborer for any
reason, he shall be given what may be
known as separation card, upon which
shall be entered statement of the
reasons for his separation. and of the
character of service rendered by him."

in a broader and more public spirited
sense. The law confers arbitrary power

This communication was referred to
the building inspector who. In report
ing on the matter, stated that THE ap-
plication was informally made for a
covered porch extending the full width
of the buildings therein referred to. and
that the applicant was informed that
the same would rot be granted in view
of the requirements of the schedule of
projections. which provides for no pro-
jections, except steps, on any building
less tHdn sixteen IeeJ WIQe. MS TeRu-
lation was adopted after a careful study
Of the building regulations of other
cities. which were found in several in
stances to contain regulations prescrib-
ing fourteen feet as the minimum width
for dwellings.
Not Clearly Shown.
THE case referred to by the writer
is not clearly and concisely stated. The
courts did not order permit issued fo.
twelve-foot front house, but merely
passed on the regulation relating to
sixteen-foot front houses. and holding
that no arguments had been advanced in
the particular case in question. which
was brought on the ground of the sub
division of lots and not as to the width
of dwellings or buildings to be placed
thereon.
LAS reported to me. the courts held
solely that sixteen feet was an unrea
sonable- width to require, but did nctI
state what minimum width might be-
reasonable. and this point was not ar
gued during the case.
1T is still held by authorities that
fourteen feet is fair and reasonable
limit for dwellings, but the question of
projections does not hinge en- the sound
