PEACE MADE WITH REBELS.


Buenos Ayres, Sept. 28.--Confirma-
tion has been received here OF the re-
port OF the conclusion OF peace bet w.en
the Uruguayan government and the
revolutionists under General Munox.
In explanation OF the government forces
surprising the insurgent camp, 1t APP
pears that notification of the recent
rupture OF peace negotiations was COM
municated to Fernandez, a revolution
AIRY political leader, but not to those
under arms; and up to the mon ens
OF the unexpected attack by the gov
eminent forces, the commanders oil
the rebels had not been informed that
a rupture OF negotiations had taken
place. The fact becoming known that
the revolutionists were not actively
hostile led to the resumption OF con-
ferenees. with the result that terms Of
peace were agreed upon.
There is general rejoicing here AND
In Uruguay over the outcome. 1t IL
expected thai claims will be presented
by diplomatic Representatives OF foreign
governments for damages and losses t.
foreign residents to the amornt of sew
efal million dollars, and the financia
outlook Is, consequt ntly, gloomy.

CHINA HAS ApOLOGIzrD.
Rcparafion Made for Attack on the
Guard at pekin.

Paris, Sept. 26.-The foreign Office
has received report from the French
minister at Pekin saying that China
has given the most complete apology
and repsration for the attack OF Chi
nese soldiers at Pekin upon Captain
Laribe, of the French legation guard,
on Monday last. The captain was in
suited and struck with stick, but he
was not seriously hurt. The French
minister energetically protested to the
general commanding the Chinese, who
wrote the minister an abject apology
while the Chinese captain commanding
the assaulting soldiers made personal
apology to Captain Laribe.
The Chinese general condemned the
five ringleaders to punishment only one
degree short OF death. Owing to the
action of the general, the officials here
do not consider that this incident and
the assault on the Italian soldiers Sep
tember IL indicate another general
anti-foreign movement. Therefore the
reparations have been accepted and the
incident Is closed.

vrsuvius VERY VIOLENT.


Naples, Sept. 28.-The eruption OF
vesuvius continues to increase In force,
and is now more violent than any time
since 1879. Red hot stones are hurled
10 height Of 1000 feet, falling down
the TANKS of the mountain with deaf
ening sound.
The director of the observatory says
that between o'clock this morning
and o'clock this afternoon his instru-
ment registered 1874 violent explo-
sions, and that one stone thrown out
weighed about two tons. Lava flowing
from the crater has melted the metal
Of the Funicular railway, and destroyed
the wooden huts in which the guides
live. All vegetation within a radius of
one mile OF the crater has disappeared
Several earthquakes we're felt today
Some OF the people in the surrounding
villages have left their homes and are
camped in the open air. The curiosity
OF tourists to approach the volcano is
such that large number of carbineer
guards have been detailed to prevent
them from pressing beyond the pre-
scribed limits.

Cincinnati, Sept. 26.--At least nine

the same horrible death.
All Of the victims were from the

Principal 7. l.. Zimmerman and seven
female teachers ran to the rescue. Mr..
Zimmerman secured ladder, on which

COST or UNSTABLE CURRENCY.
Philippines Out 81 ,294,059 as Re
suit of fluctuations In Silver.

Washington, Sept 24.-The bureau
Of insular affairs of the war depart
ment in its review and final audit of
the finances of the Philippine govern
ment has definitely fixed the loss sus-
tanned by the insular treasury, up to
June 80, 1908, due to the fuctuating
value of the silver currencry in general
circulation in the islands until recent
date at 81 ,294,08
This loss to the insular government
was brought about largely by the fact
that when silver was dear Mexican dol
lars were almost exclusively offered for
payment of government dues, but when
silver was cheap and the Mexicans
over valued comparatively little was
offered in payment of dues, and credit
ors of the government sought by every
meanns possible to obtain settlement by
the government in Mexican money.
In this way silver money would be
taken in at a high rate of exchange to
gold and paid out at much lower rate
than received.
Under the new coinage act, which il
now in successful operation, Mexican
money is no longer RECEPTACLE for pub.
lie dues.

NEW LAND POLICY.
Tracts Withdrawn Will NOT Be Sold
as Soon as Restored.

Washington, Sept. 24.-1he secre-
taly of the interior has ordered restor-
ed to entry a portion of the lands in
skagit and Whatcom counties, Wash
ieton. that we're temorarily withdrawn
in December, 1902, with view to en-
larging the Washington forest reserve
on the west side. These lands were
examined by the forestry bureau and
found unsuitable for forest reserve pur-
poses. Some are agricultural in char
acter, son 9 grazing lands, but con-
sidera bic area is valuable for its tim
Der. The reason the timber lands are
to be turned back to the public domain
is because they are isolated tracts, To-
Gated among lands now in private
ownership. 1t would not be practica-
Bile to reserve them without reserving
the adjoining private lands. and this
policy is not favored.
In restoring these lands to entry the
interior department is adopting a new
DO icy. These and all other lands
hereafter restored to entry will not be-
come subject to settlement Immediate
", but will be advertised for 80 days.
This is to give every one an equal
chance to take up newly opened lands,
and to prevent any one getting unfail
advantage. This was not done in the
case OF the Blue mountain lands restored
in Oregon, but the rule will hereafter
apply to all lands eliminated from
Withdrawals, as we'll as lands which
are cut out OF established reserves.
