STORM SWEPT SOCIETY ISLANDS.
Many Inhabitants of the Islands Lost
Their Lives.

San Francisco, Cal.-News of fear
full loss of Life in a destructive storm
that swept over the South sea islands
last month reached here on the steam
er Mariposa, direct from Tahiti.
The loss of life is estimated at one
thousand.
On January 10, last, huge tidal
wave, accompanied by terrific hurri-
cane, attacked the Society islands and
the Tuamotu group with fearful force,
causing deaths and devastation never
before equaled in land of dreaded
storms, verifcation of mans inability
to contend with wind and sea.
The storm reigned several days,
reaching its maximum strength be-
tween January IA and January l6.
From the meager news received at
Tahiti up to the time of the sailing of
the Mariposa it is feared that later ad-
vices will add to the long list of dead.
The first news of the disaster arrived
at Papeete, Tahiti, January %, on the
schooner Eimeo. The captain of the
schooner placed the fatalities at 500,
The steamer Excelsior arrived at Pa
peete the following day with 400 desti-
tute survivors. The captain of the EX-
celsiar estimated the total loss of life
be 800.
These figures comprised only the
deaths on the three islands of HaD,
Hikuera and Makokau whose ordinary
population is 1900 On Hikuera is
land, where 1000 inhabitants were en-
gagged in pearl diving, nearly one-half
were drowned. On an adjacent island
100 more were washed out to sea.
Maxine and Hao are depopulated. Con-
servatives ,.mates at tahiti place
the number Of islands visited by tidal
wave and hurricane at 80. All of them
are under the control of the French
government at Tahiti.
Tahiti and the other South Sea is
lands are about midway between San
Francisco and New Zealand. From
San Francisco toTahiti, in due south
westerly direction. 1t Is 1858 miles
and from Tahiti to New Zealand 1t Is

ocean far from any other land and lie
about 20 degrees south of the equator.

Inspector Harris of Atlanta Killed 10
an Attack Upon Insurgents.
Manila.-A force of 100 oonstabulary
under Inspector Kelthly, Sunday do
feated body of 200 insurgents near
MariQuina, a small town seven miles
from Manila City, after a severe en-.
gagement, in which Inspector Harris
and one man Oh the constabulary were
killed and two other men of the con.
stabulary wounded. The enemy left
fifteen dead and three wounded. In.
spector Harriss home was at Atlanta,
Ga.
The body of insurgents formed the
main force of the irreconciliable gen.
eral, San Miguel, The constabulary
were divided into three detachments
which were scouting in the Mara
quina valley The detachment COM
manded by Inspector Harris came up
on the enemy, who were in strongly
intrenched position. Inspector Harris
fell at the first volley, being hit five
times. The detachment of constabu-
larry, although outnumbered, held its
position until Inspector Keithly, with
the main force, arrived, when the
enemy were put to rout. Their head
quarters were captured and burned,
and the constabulary seized the re-
cords of General San Miguel, who
claims that he succeeded to the com-
mand of the insurrectionary forces
when the other generals surrendered.
He has only a handful of men under
him and his operations have been Of
no consequence. The wounded Amer
leans are all severely injured.

ADMIRAL WILDEs is DEAD.
The End Came on the Return Voyage
From Manila.

San Francisco.-Rear Admiral Frank
Wildes of the United States navy, died
suddenly on board the steamer China
on a return voyage from Mallla. He
was on his way home on sick leave.
Admiral Wildes had charge of the
feet in Manila and about the Philip
pines. lie had been on the station
since June, 1902. From the first the
trying climate semed to be too much
for the officer. Under the strain of the
continued heat and excessive humidity
he constantly lost strength until finally
the naval board of survey stepped in
and the admiral was condemned as
physically unfit for duty and ordered
home to recuperate.
1t was reported that upon Admiral
Wildes's arrival in this country, If the
sea voyage had brought his health
back, he was to be placed in charge Of
the Bremerton navy yard. The invig-
Grating sea air, however, did not work
the cure hoped for. From the time Ad-
miral Wildes boarded the China for
Hong Kong he grew worse. In Homo
lulu he was unable to leave his berth.
The body was embalmed and brought
into port.

AIN EXTRASESSION
ULTlMATUM TO GAIN ANTITRUST
LEGISLATION.
TRUSTS APPEAL TO U. S, SENATORS
Telegram Signed "John D. Rockefel-
Ter" Received by Senators Telling
Them Attorneys for Trust
Will "See" Them.

Washington.-It can be stated by
authority that unless antitrust legisla-
ton, at least reasonably satisfactory to
the administration, is enacted the pres
ent session, President Roosevelt, March
), will call an extraordinary session of
the Fifty-eighth congress. The presi-
dent himself, has told members OF
congress of his desires and of his de-
termination in this regard. 1t is under
stood that the announcement was di-
rect and unqualified.
1t is further stated that the deter
mination of the president was reached
only after careful consideration of the
efforts that are making to defeat any
antitrust legislation by congress
These efforts have covered a wide
range. They were characterized by one
Republican leader to quote him direct
ly, as 'the most remarkable of which
ever had personal knowledge during
my public life"
These efforts eliminated in the last
thirty-six hours, it is now declared, in
direct appeals from the Standard Oil
company, through its president, John
D. Rockefeller, to members of the SEN
ate not to enact any antitrust legisla-
ton at this time. Six United States
senator's have received kilograms sign
ed John D. Rockefeller" urging thai
no antitrust legislation be enacted. /.
has not been possible to obtain copy
of these dispatches, which, it can be
said, are practical identical Substan-
tally they read as follows:
1--WE are opposed to any antitrust
legislation. Our counsel, Mr.. -,
will see you. 1t must be stopped"
AS STATED, these kilograms (only the
substance and not the exact wording is
here given. were signed John d.
Rockefeller"
Following this telegram one of the
counsel of the Standard Oil company
arrived in Washington and called i'm
mediately upon members of the senate,
as indicated in the kilograms. He did
not remain long. Scarcely had he
made known his business than he was
informed, a bit CURLY, that his pres
ence here was undesirable, and he left
with an intimation that he would bet
ter return to New York.
1t is said by authority that the adj
ministration hopes that the Elkins re-
bate bill, which was passed by the
senate last week, will be passed also
by the house. While this measure, too,
is opposed by those who are in favor
of no trust legislation, the special
opposition to it does not come from the
Standard Oil company, because, it is
explained, that corporation has grown
beyond any effects the enforcement of
such legislation might have upon it.
The president, it is understood, re-
CARDS the Elkins bill as essential to a
rounding out of the administrations
plan for antitrust legislation and it is
believed by those in close touch with
him and with the conditions in con-
gress that it yet may be enacted into
law.

A SECRET ALLIANCE.
Germany and Italy Have a Venezuela
Deal of Their Own.

Deal OF helr own.
Washington.-Discl of a secret
alliance between Germany and Italy
constituted the most important de-
velopment in the Venezuelan situation
of recent date. This fact has been made
known to the British ambassador and
it will put all of the negotiators more
closely on their guard in the drafting
of the protocols which they hope to
submit to Minister Bowen during the
next few days. The German-Italian
alliance was old news to Mr.. Bowen,
the fact having leaked out in Caracus
before he left there Generally speaking,
the alliance is intended to secure to
Italy the same treatment in the allies
settlement with Venezuela as that re-
ceived by Germany and Great Britain.
Several more or less sensational
stories have been in circulation during
the last few days which have caused
considerable annoyance to the British
ambassador and to the other negotl-
ators regarding the note Mr. Bowen ad-
dressed to the former, proposing that
the question of preferential treatment
go to The Hague. That these reports
may be corrected the negotiatos are
DESTROYS that the facts be stated. After
the sending of this note to the British
ambassador, the latter called on Mr..
Bowen and asked that he withdraw
the entire note, on the ground that it
was not diplomatic in character. Mr..
Bowen was compelled to refuse to
grant his request. The ambassador
then asked that the sentence begin
ming:
ION this side of the water, we want
peace and not alliances" be with
drawn. Again Mr.. Bowen regretted
that he coud not grant the ambassa-
doris request. Finally, the ambassador
represented that the latter part of the
sentence regarding the continuance of
the alliance of Great Britain with Ger
many and Italy would cause him en-
barrassment when submitted to the
Italian ambassador and the German
minister. Mr.. Bowen replied that ne
would be only too glad to do anything
that would further the negotiations,
and at once struck out the objection
able clause, which read as follows:
"And it will occasion great surprise
and regret when it becomes known
that Great Britain has even proposed
continuing her present alliance with
Germany and Italy one moment longer
than she must"
With this one change, the note was
finally transmitted by the British am
bassador to the Italian and German
embassies.

URIBE.URIBE A SUICIDE.
The Napoleon of Central America
Kills Himself.

Kingston, Jamaica.-The British
steamer Para, which arrived here from
Colon, brings the news of the suicide
January 80 of the ex-reyolutionary
general Uribe-Uribe. General Tribe
Tribe published letter December Il
advising Colombia to await the lapsins
of the Panama canal concession in
1904, which would leave the Colombian
government free hand in the matter
of the canal The reports brought by
the Para indicate the possibility OF
another revolution in opposition to the
Panama canal treaty.
General Uribe-Uribe, the hero Of
forty-six battles in Colombia, was de-
feated in his last engagement about
three months ago His troops were
routed, he himself surrendered on
promise of pardon and was thrown into
prison. With him died the hope of the
revolutionists.
In personal appearance the general
was much like an American business
man of 40-tall, athletic, very serious
and altogether different from the con-
ventional revolutionary hero" OF
Spanish countries.
The general was born in the noun
tains of Antiocha, famous for mines Of
gold, silver and platinum.
