Geneva, Switzerland, April 20
Earthquake shocks were felt here a.
2:45 this morning. The inhabitants
were somewhat alarmed and many OF
them rushed into the street, but the
damage done in this city was very
slight The shocks were felt through.

They were accompanied by subterra

damaged in the Canton VaIers. The
shocks apparently were more severe
at Chamoix and in its neighborhood
than elsewhere. Houses were cracked

BURoNIc PLAGUE IN CHILE.
Reports Say Condition at Pisagua Is
Something Terrible,

San Antonio, Tex, April 29.-Passen-
gers from Chilean ports, according to
an express special from Mazatlan,
Mex, bring the first full information
concerning the terrible ravages Of bu.
bonic plague in the city of Pisagua,
Chile. For some time before their de.
parture the deaths in Pisagua had
ranged from ten to thirty per day, and
the authorities were then unable to
enforce burials. Corpses were thrown
into the streets to decompose and
spread contagion. This little headway
had been made in the fight on the dis.
ease and it looked as If the entire pop.
ulation OF that Chilean port might be
wiped out by the plague. Many per
sons had been shot down by the sol
diers on guard while attempting to es.
cape from the stricken city.

congressman Williams and Governor
Vardeman Want the Place.
Jackson, Miss, April 29.-The an
nouncement of Congressman John
Sharp Williams at Hazlehurst last Sat
urday that he would be candidate for
the United States senate, followed by
a similar announcement from Governor
Vardeman at Greenwood on Monday
has caused considerable comment in
political circles.
Senator Money is remaining consist
emily silent on the subject, and there
seems to be no longer any doubt as to
his intended retirement, despite the
frequent assertion from unauthorized
sources that he is not yet ready to re-
tire to private life.
1t is certain that neither Congress-
man or Governor Vardaman would be
so actively organziging their forces at
present unless they had assurances
of the intention of Senator Money to
retire. To all practical purposes the
fight is on.

Berlin, April 29.-An intimate con

OF the disease.
Scientists appear not to be fully sat

causes influenza has been discovered
in number of cases of meningitis.

Washington, April 29.-General Fitz-

and one Of Virignia's foremost sons,
died at the Providence hospital here
from an attack of apoplexy, which he
suffered early this morning on a train
while enroute from Boston to Wash.
ington.
After General Lee had been removed
to the hospital it was evident to the
attending physicians that his case was
a very serious one, but they believed
that his strong vitality and will-power
would assist materially in partial
recovery, at least, from the alta
His condition remained fair consider
ing the severity of the attack during
the day, but shortly after o'clock
he began to grow weaker and his
pulse lower, terminating in less than
two hours in death. The end was peace
full and without pain, the general re
naming conscious until five minutes
before he died. Half an hour before
death General Lee recognized his
brother, Daniel Lee, who came into
the room for a moment.
In the room when he died were DR..
Montgomery, one of the physicians al
the hospital; Miss Dorsey, a relative,
and nurse, two of the attending ply
sicians, Drs. Edie and Kean, having re.
tired temporarily.
A pathetic feature of the case is that
although General Lee had family
consisting of a wife and five children
not one of them was with him at the
time of his death. The general was 6S
years of age.
