London, April 29.-The news Of III,
resumption of fighting in Manchuris
Is supposed here to show that the Jap.
anese have decided not to await the
issue OF the impending naval contest,
but to utilize the few weeks interven.
ing between the drying up of the
thawed-out roads and the arrival of the
summer rains in June for the resump-
ton of the land campaign. The com
pletion of the railway to Mukden will
greatly simplify Marshal Oyama's task
OF provisioning his army, and will thus
facilitate the renewal of hostilities.

DEAL WITH LOOMS.
Assistant Secretary of States Con-
nection with Proposed Loan.

Columbus, o., April 27.-President
G. F. Mayer, of the First National bank
OF Columbus, this afternoon told the
story of the Venezuelan loan features
of the charge against Assistant Score
tary of State Loomis. Mr.. Mayer is
president of a syndicate which has for
some time been negotiating with Vene-
zuela for floating the $3.50, 900, 900 loan,
that French, German, English and
other loans might be taken up.
Mr.. Mayer says negotiations were
made with Mr.. Loomis, when minister
to Venezuela, to act as the representa-
tive of this syndicate, but he said Mr..
Loomis intended to resign as minister
to Venezuela on accepting employment
with the syndicate. The syndicate
was to receive a profit of 81 900, 900
net for floating the loan and was to
have the receipts of the Venezuelan
ports as security for its commission.

RUINED BY TORNADO.


Almost Every Building in Laredo
Texas, is Gone.
! Laredo, Tex, May At least u
persons were killed and score injured
in Laredo and New Laredo by tornado
that tore through the city late last
night. Sixteen were killed here. Ru-
mors of many others killed In places
outside OF Laredo are heard, but as yet
they lack confirmation. Property
damage Is large. Four of the dead
were members of one family and were
working on the ranch of George Wood
man. Thcy were all crushed to death
by the falling in of the heavy walls OF
the adobe house they occupied. The
others met their fate In like manner.
The damage wrought at the Laredo
seminary Is severe. Not one of the
group Of buildings that go to make up
the institution escaped damage. The
escape from death OF the teachers at
present quartered in the institution is
considered miracu GUS, as the walls OF
some of the buildings that they occu-
pied were demolished. Mrs. Early,
one of the teachers, was heroically res
cued by several young cadcts, students
of tho institution, they lowering her by
a rope from second story window.
She was badly bruised.
The Mexican National hospital build
ing roof was lifted, and it will require
much time to repair the building.
A trip through the town fails to
show locality that has not suffered
from the storm. Telegraph and tele-
phone poles, corrugated roots, Chin
neys and walls; in fact, debris OF all
kinds strew the streets.
The city authorities are at work clear
Ing away the wreckage of the storm and
tonight the city began to assume its
customary tranquil appearance. Line
men are at work endeavoring to
straighten out the tangled wires, and it
Is believed that within two days the
electric light service can be resumed.
Il is hoped to re-establish telegraphic
communication at least partially with
n two days.

HER GUNS ARE A FAILURE.
British Navy in Very Poor Condition
for Battle.

London, April 28-The Daily Graph.
ic this morning commences a series oil
articles calling in question the dura-
ton of the armament of modern Brit
ish fleet in manner which, il the facts
should be substantiated, is calculated
to cause great sensation. The writer
alleges that 10 warships unfit for ac-
ton have been discovered, as the 35-
calibre l2-inch guns constituting the
main armament of three vessels are in
capable of firing full charges. The
latest Woolwich pattern 50-calibre six
inch gun has also failed under expert
ment, and the question naturally arises
as to the endurance of the armament
OF the whole modern feet. The article
states facts unfortunately beyond dis
pute, and points out that the present
is the time for action and not for
blame.
The facts came to light through de-
ve.opments of weakness in new long
guns under experiment and the stimuli
taneous failure of the 12-inch guns in
the Majestic class of battleships and
through the bursting of shells in seven
out OF IL British made guns on board
Of Japanese battleships.
The writer points out further that
Great Britain is the only power that
has adopted the manufacture Of tbe
wire guns.

NEW SYSTEM OF BIDDING.


Washington, May lit will be vel
come news to Pacific coast dealers to
know that the quartermaster general OF
the army has decided to obtain bids for
forage for army purposes under new
system, which shall permit competition
on three-months as an annual basis.
1t is believed that more satisfactory
bidding will be obtained, if it is posi-
BILE to secure proposals for furnishing
forage for period of three months.
This will enable closer competition,
hence it will afford bidders an opportu-
nifty to estimate more closely as to
market conditions.
In presenting bids for the annual
supply of forage at all the military
posts, 1t is found that bidders are re-
quired to specify largely as to the prob
able condition of crops, and this, Of
course, must have it's effect upon prices
named for a yearly supply of army
forage. Bidding will, therefore, be
permitted for quarterly as we'll as for
an annual supply.

WILL OUT THE HUNT SHORT


President Decides to Return and At
tend TO Urgent Business.
Glenwood Springs, Colo, April 2s.--
President Roosevelt will break camp
on May s, week earlier than he in.
tended, and will start for Washington
at once. The only stops he will make
are at Denver and Chicago, where dates
for his reception have been advanced to
meet the new arrangement.
Secretary Loeb came from the camp
early today, where he conferred with
the president all of yesterday. He an
nounced upon reaching here that affairs
in Washington made it necessary that
the president curtail his trip.
That there is nothing alarming in the
situation is manifested from the fact
that the hunt will be continued ten
days more, in spite of the condition OF
affairs which resulted in the altered
plans. The Venezuelan situation, it is
believed here, resulted in the order to
start home on May g.
The party will leave Glenwood
Springs at about O'Clock on May 8,
reaching Denver the same evening.
After the banquet there the party will
spend the night on the train, which
will leave Denver over the Union Paci-
fic at about a. m. on May 8.
There la much speculation here as to
the presidents reasons for advancing
the time OF his departure from Colo
RADIO. Mr.. Loeb announces that there
is no pressing business that requires
the PRESIDENTS attention, but there are
q number of things coming up about
the middle of the month in which he is
greatly interested. What these are the
secretary would not say. 1t was said
also that there is nothing in the Vene-
suelsn or Dominican situations that
,annot be attended to by Secretary Taft.

Denver - Gold discoveries near the
headwaters of the Salmon river in Ida
no are reported and presage the open
ing OF new mining district which may
rival any heretofore discovered. Spec.
linens of extremely rich ore, said to
nave been found in this region, have
been brought to this city by 7. NJ.
Howell, a former Denver newspaper
man, one of the pioneers of the Cripple
Greek district and well known pros
pector. One piece of float sawed in
twain revealed streak of almost pure
gold half an inch thick and assayed at
the rate of 3,645 ounces per ton. The
ore is rusty sugar quartz, mixed with
iron that looks more like coal cinders
than phenomenally rich rock.
Mr.. Howell sail that the ore was
found near Yellow Jacket creek, one Of
the tributaries of the Salmon river,
along which many millions Of dollars
worth of placer gold has been found.
The district is 125 miles from the near
est railroad station, Red Rock, Mont,
over which hundreds of persons passed
going to Thunder mountain.
Il believe that the finds" said Mr..
Howell, go long way toward soly-
ing the problem of the source Of the
placer gold of the Idaho streams. This
ore is porous formation, entirely dir
ferent from the white quartz veins
which have heretofore been prospeeted
by the placer minerg of that country IN
their search for the lodges containing
gold values. Idaho has produced over
$500, 100000 of placer gold, yet there
has been comparatively little gold
quartz mining in that country"
