The executive committee received en-

Assurances were given TO the leaders Of
the league that the sentiment in favor
Of good government was growing wider
and drmer. Regardless Of individual views

japanese exclusion, high license, etc, the
citizens and taxpayers insist on a clean
and capable administration of the affairs
of local government. II is suspected that
efforts may be made in certain quarters

attention from the real question, but
judging from the expression of views
there is a firm and settled conviction that
San Francisco must have better local
government in order to achieve and main
tain prosperity.
The finance committee of the league,
William r. Wheeler chairman, held a
long session at headquarters last evening.
The committee is composed of represent
ative business men of high character and
liberal views. There Is not the slightest
doubt of the committees ability to raise
readily sum Of money sufficient to meet
the legitimate expenses of thorough or
ganization Of good government forces in
every district Of San Francisco.
Citizens who entertain the belief that
San Francisco has had enough of Ruef
and Schmitz are asked to join the league.
The number OF voters already enrolled ap-
proximates 1000 When it is considered
that district enrolment has not begun,
the record is regarded as remarkable.

K!LAUEA STILL
SPLITTING FIRE
Special Dispatch to Tn. Cali

HONOLULU, March 16.-The whole
floor of the crater of Kilauea is covered
with lava which is in constant action
The pit is filling up rapidly. When the
outbreak first occurred there was a
sudden roar and a stream of fire burst
out of the side of the pit about six hun
dred feet from the top and one num-
dred feet from the bottom. With the
emission of lava came terrinc ex-
plosions which sent boulders weigh
ing many tons high in the air. These
would fall back on the side of the pit
and then go rumbling down to the bot
tom like fireballs, many times enlarged,
from a Roman candle.
Unlike the outbreak a few years ago,
when visitors had sometimes TO wait
hours for display of the pyrotechnics.
the explosions at this time are almost
continuous And Ii was due to this
fact as much as anything that the fire
apparently ceased a few nights later.
the force. of the outburst causing the
side of the pit for several hundred feet
to fall in and bank the fire. AS the
gas accumulated this mass of earth
and rock was forced aside and the
outbreak increased in ferocity and is
increasing hourly.
What was seen of the volcano in ten
minutes is thus described by DR.. Ar
cher Irwin. visitor to Hawaii:
Il arrived at the Volcano House at
a. M / left the house at $50 a. m.
arriving at the edge of the hot pot
about $50. Suddenly the whole bot
tom of the crater became one living
mass of molten lava. From the mid
die a stream of liquid fire poured and
before my awe-stricken gaze there was
formed q lake about one acre in area
of bubbling, spouting fire.

was the rapid manner in which the.

RIDES FROM
MUKDEN ON
HORSEBACK
After Kuropatkin's Depart
Hre Drunken COssacks
Loot the City.
Russian Left Army, Cut Off
by japanese, Succeeds
in Escaping.

LONDON, March 17.-From a dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph from
Sinmintin, descriptive of the fighting
around and the fall of Mukden, it ap-
pears that General Kuropatkin left for
Tie Pass on horseback on March s, his
stan Following by train the next day.
On March 10 Cossacks began looting
in Mukden and, maddened with drink,
committed the widest excesses and
robberies and killed numerous civil
ians.
The Russians retreat from Mukden
station was wels executed until 1T was
discovered that the Gordon of the Jap
anese in the rear, two and half
miles from town, was nearly COM
plete, when the retirement became a
flight. The Russian left army COM
prising some 15b, 900 men, according to
the same dispatch, was cut Off by the
japanese, but is said to have, ky forced
marches, splendidly executed a juno
tion with the main body at Tie Pass
in three days
The correspondent in Toxic of the
Daily Telegraph learns that the jap
anese left army advanced toward Muk-
den at flying speed and in the
last four days covered respectively
thirty. thirtyfive, twenty and fifteen
miles. One force was sent especially
to search for General Kuropatkin and
his staff, bat they had already gone.

TWO ARMIES
RACE TOWARD
THE SUNGARl
Great Railroad Bridge the
Goal for Which Each
Is Striving.
Rumor That Russians Will
Make Vladiy0stOk
Their Base.

! LONDON, March 17.-An uncon-
firmed report from St. Petersburg
states that General kuropatkin will re-
treat not to Hardin, but TO Kfrin ana
vladivostok. This, however, is regard
ed here as quite improbable, and the
ensuing fortnight is expected to Wit
ness a keen race between the Russians
and Japanese for the great railway
bridge over the Sungari River, as IL Is
believed that after Tie Pass there is
no fortified place of sufficient strength
at which to make stand until the
Russians reach Harbin. If Kuropatkln
should be able to make successlui
retirement thither 1t is likely that ne
would be able to add some $4,000 rresn
troops to his exhausted army.
A question discussed here is the pos
sibility of Russia evacuating Vladivos-
tok and concentrating its garrison at
Harbin.
Various reports giving the alleged
terms on which Russia has obtained
loan through the French syndicate are
current here and on the contlnenI L
These reports are conflicting in details,
but agree that the loan is for snort
term; that the amount Is about slzo'-
OO0. 900 and the rate about 80.

for occupation of Mukden philosophi-
cally. They are, of course, delighted
over the successful outcome of the ope-
rations, but they have too much. hard
work ahead to give them time for cele-
brations.
The Russians in all directions fought
splendidly, making desperate stands
and holding their positions until forced
out by the fianking movement The
holding OF the villages in the angle
against General Oku's army was par
ticularly valuable, as ii allowed the
main force along the Shakhe River
time TO retire in good order.
The destruction of the railroad bridge
across the Hun River probably will in
terfere greatly with the Japanese use
of the railway TO bring up supplies
This is the first time the Russians have
attempted to destroy the railroad
The japanese captured enormous
quantities of supplies and ammunition
at various places, and it is believed
that the retreating Russians succeeded
in carrying off only a small quantity.
A conservative estimate places the
forces actually engaged in the fighting
at $4,000 on each side and the total
number of men on both sides at more
than l 000. 600

s. m.-with the evacuation Of Tie Pass
on Wednesday night the Russian army
abandoned the last stronghold in

GENERAL OKU'S HEADQUAR-
TIERS. Saturday, March 1.-THE work
of clearing the second army's battle
field west of the railway was begun in
earnest to-day. The bodies of the Rus
slams are being buried and those of the
Japanese are being cremated
The battlefield, especially in the vi
cinity of Likampu, five miles west Of
the railway, presents a terrible sight.
Fully 1000 bodies are still lying on the
field. This locality was the scene of
the fiercest fight of the left armies.
A division of Japanese attacked Lik-
ampu and a small village to the south
and drove the Russians out, infiicting
much loss. The Russians on being re-
inforced counter attacked, driving out
the Japanese and inf1icting enormous
losses. The Thirty-t third Regiment.

annihilated receiving in frort and on

The Japanese were greatly outnunn-

Russian dead were scattered over the
field, almost carpeting 1t.
There are evidences OF desperate
hand-to-hand fighting near the viii
lage The bodies of Japanese and Rus
slams are piled together in scores. The
bodies show many wounds, indicating
that the men were fighting to the last,
though wounded.
Likampu was the scene of a fierce
street and house to house struggle.
Every street. lane and compound wall
shows its heap Of dead. Many build
ings were burned, cremating the
wounded who crawled into them for
shelter. To seek cover for the ad-
vancing troops was impossible on ac-
count of the frozen ground, and both
the Japanese and Russian charges were
made across the open fields. The fight
ing at this point was probably the
most deadly and desperate of the en-
tire war thus far.
The Chinese were not allowed on the
field. because 1t was feared that they
would rob the dead.

WITH THE JAPANESE ARMIES,
Friday. March l0.-The japanese occu-
patton OF Mukden completes the seri-
Gus defeat Of General Kuropatkin's ar
mics. 1t is yet impossible to say
whether the victory is decisive enough
TO end the war. but the general belief
prevailing in these armies is that it

The Russian losses have been very
heavy. Although the figures have not
been reported. ii is believed here that
they win reach nearly 100, 900. The
japanese also lost heavily, perhaps
half as many as the Russians.
The fanking movement of the left
armies was entirely successful in every
detail. The resistance Of the Russians
IN the villages northwest of the angle
formed by the railroad and the Hun
River was determined to the very last.
and many Of the japanese attacks were
unsuccessful. The villages were very
strongly defended, the Russians having
at some places three lines of trenches
and several bitches, while they used
many machine guns. Hundreds of lives
were sacrificed in the attempts TO cap
ture them.

field. and this evening great fires are
