GUATMAS. Mexico. March 1s.-A de-

Taoui savages near Batamote Thurs
day morning. killing fifteen OF the IN

The first report OF the engagement
came through an Official dispatch from

Barron was sent 10 san Jose de Quay

vice. for on Wednesday reports reached
that place that a bowling band Of
savages had come down out OF the very
mountains which the Federal troops
had supposed TO have cleared Of the
ssvages in a campaign which ter
minated about ten days ago.
Barron had no accurate reports as 70
the numbers OF the foe, but set out in
pursuit with his hundred men. He came

chances and they poured a whitening
fire in upon the savages. killing and

CONDITIONS

IN DOMINGO
Country Black as It
Is Painted, . Says
LOOmiS.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

WASHINGTON. March 1S.-"Santo
Domingo is just as black as it is painted. :"
is the verdict of Assistant Secretary
Loonis OF. the State Department, who
returned to Washington on the United
States ship Mayfower with Admiral
Dewey to-day. While in the Carib-
bean Sea during last month Loomis
visited many of the principal ports of
Santo Domingo, where the revolution
is now raging. The Mayfower did not
go up to Santo Domingo City on ac-
count of fighting there.
Loomis will make report to the
President about conditions in Santo
Domingo and he has some idea of ac-
ton which will tend to restore order
in the black republic.
He found affairs throughout the re-
public in a state of most deplorable
uncertainty on account of the revolu-
ton. The natural wealth of vegeta-
ton on the island made chaos and dis
regard of law and order the more de-
plorable. Loomis found W. F. Powell,
United States Minister to Santo Do
mingo. apparently respected and rec
osnized by Morales Government, but
IL seems he was extremely tired of
the great amount of work devolving
upon him as result of the revolution.
He told Loomis that the house in
which he formerly lived has been
made a target for artillery fire until
there are now. no less than dozen
shells in its walls.
Loomis was disinclined to say much
about his visit. except that reports of
disorder were not exaggerated.
While this Government will do what
il can toward bringing order out of
revolution in Santo Domingo, it is not
likely any radical action will be taken
at this time.

People Shudd:r at Thought Of Break
Which Would hean Loss
Of Millions.
Special Dispatch to The can.

RENO. New, March 1S.-From Tahoe
to Pyramid the banks of the Truckee
River are lined tonight with men
dreading the signal that may come an
nouncing the breaking of the big Lake
Tahoe dam, now being strained to re-
tain a body Of water ten feet in depth
and covering an area of 1S6 square
miles. The danger Is increasing every
moment and in the event that the mea-
ger restraint gives way millions of dol
lars worth of property will be de-
stroyed and miles upon miles of the
richest and most productive land in
this section Of California, as we'll as in
Washoe County, Nevada, will be
stretch Of desolation and ruin.
1t is thirty-five years since the dam
was built, but little work has been
done on it since that time, and for
years il has been known that in the
event OF a rise in the lake there would
be great danger. The Lake Tahoe
Railway viii suffer first. This line fol-
lows the river from its source to this
town. The grades would be destroyed
y. /
would be almost impossible to have the
road repaired in time to handle the
summer traffic. In addition there are
thousands of cords of wood in the river
bed between here and Tahoe. This
would be swept away. Truckee, with
its box factories and lumber mills,
would suffer most. The loss in dollars
and cents TO that town can hardly be
estimated AT this time. Floriston, with
its one million dollar paper plant.
would suffer next Located as it is be-
tween two steep mountains and right
on the bed of the river. it would be
wiped out Of existence. Verdi. the next
town in its course, would also suffer
greatly. Reno proper. though on he
banks Of the river. is so high above the
stream that it is thought but little
damage would result. However, in the
Glendale district, the damage would be
almost irreparable. Wadsworth would
suffer to some extent, but by the time
the water could reach that place the
residents would have ample time to
carry their belongings TO places of
safety. Reno residents can be warned
four hours before the food reaches
them.

TOXIC. March 1S.-The first as
sauIt in force on the Russian line
west of Port Arthur has practically
begun. The British fishing boat
Seamew, arriving at Weihaiwei from
Shaleithien Island. reports that six
teen transports are at Kaoshan. in
the Mao group of islands. on which
troops were embarking yesterday.
Two warships of big build and several
.torpedo-boat destroyers were south
east of Kaoshan. 1t has been known
for some time that the Japanese
army was somewhere on the Maio
Islands in force, but as Admiral Togo
stopped all transportation between the
northerly group and this point no in
formation has come from them in
three weeks.
The Seamew passed within four
miles of the westerly end OF Kaoshan
Island and says there were several
hundred small boats engaged in con-
veying soldiers to the transports.
The point of destination of this army
division is in all probability west OF
Port Arthur. English army officers
here say If an invasion were intended
east of Port Arthur these soldiers
would have been landed on some one of
the Elliott Islands. where there Is
known to be considerable force o.
Japanese The departure of this di-
vision now indicates an attack not later
than Tuesday. which in all probability
can be carried out successfully, as the
ice has moved rapidly from the gulf
OF Lioatung in the last ten days. Boats
are coming in regularly now from Ian
chichang laden with lumber and they
say the gulf is free of ice. The report
by the seamen has excited great inter-
est and it is now confidently believed
that the first real operation of the war
is now under way.
