' VOLCANO BREAKS OUT
Praying People Flee from Mountain on
the Argentine Border.

BHenos Ayres, Aug. 1s.-Accordtna
TO the information received here, a
large number Of buildings have been
destroyed in Valparaiso and the loss of
life Is said to have been large.
The disturbance was general thruout
Chile, and was felt at some points In
the Argentine Republic.
The property loss is enormous Many
houses were thrown down, including
the government house.
During the night the volcano Lupan-
gait, on the Chile Argentine border, was
heard roaring and the people fed to the
churches to pray for safety.
At San Juan, in the Andes, high
winds accompanied the shocks. The
shock at Andes City was very severe.
The shocks seriously affected the
towns of Rosario, Aranas, Rio ia, San
Juis and Tucuman
The Central & South American Tele-
graph company early today received
this message from Valparaiso:
"People demoralized; all business
houses closed; no prospect Of an early
restoration Of lines to Santiago OF
Buenos Ayres.'

Secretary Declares His Policy at
Brilliant Function at
Buenos Ayres.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 1S.-The banquet
given at the operahouse in honor of
Secretary Root by leading representa-
tives Of the banking, commercial and
railway interests was a most brilliant
function. The house was brilliantly

Drago on American Solidarity.
Senior Drago, former minister of for:

President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and the people of the United States,
referred to the natural sympathy Of the
people Of Argentina for the country
men Of Henry Clay, who had defended
propitious for drawing closer the bonds
Of amity uniting the two great nations
and adding to the material and moral
solidarity of American integrity. =.
Mr.. Root received a great ovation
and as he delivered sentence after SEN
tence Of a speech more telling and more
eloquent than any he had previously
delivered during his visit to South
America, he was frequently interrupted
by enthusiastic applause.
Drago Doctrine Endorsed.
Tracing the policy Of the United
States for over century he said tho
United States had never employed and
never would employ her army and navy
for the collection of debts contracted
by governments or private individuals.
Such measures, he said, lent themselves
to speculation and the war was based
thus on sordid objects.
He was an advocate Of arbitration
and mediation and all other measures
that made for peace.
Mr.. Root concluded with an eloquent
tribute to Buenos Ayres, its people, in
situations, hospitality and splendor and
resumed his seat amidst the greatest
enthusiasm, flowers being showered on
him from all parts Of the house.

an area Of country the visitation has
laid waste. Nothing has been heard
from Santiago, the capital city of Chile,
and it is feared that the fate Of that
city is as bad or worse than that OF
Valparaiso
Telegraphic communication is cut off
in every direction, and every one here
is too much depressed by the calamity
at home to seek information Of other
places.
No trains have arrived in the city or
left it since the first shock came, as all
the tunnels are filed and the rails
twisted. It is only known from gen.
eral accounts that death and destruc-
ton are on all sides.
Buildings Fall.
There were two distinct and terrific
shocks, the second one following almost
instantly after the first and completing
the work of destruction. The day had
o'clock the whole city seemed sud
denly to swing backward and forward
and then came sudden jolt Of such
mighty force that rows of buildings
toppled to the earth as if made of brit
tie plaster. Whole rows of buildings
went down in a few seconds.
Soon after the second shock had sub
sided it became known that the bust
ness part of the town was doomed
heard, but before midnight fires were
seen burning there and it was learned
that that section of the city was also
doomed.
The city stands upon a formation Of
granite gneiss, which seemed to accen-
tuate the force Of the shock. Before
the stunned people were given time to
realize the magnitude of the calamity,
again the city was shaken with vio-
lence greater than before. The earth
in places lifted and pitched the build
ings forward. In other places there was
a terrible tremor that shook every
structure to the ground. This shock
continued longer than the first.
When it had subsidized fires were blaz-
ing up, and thousands Of terrified per-
sons were praying and panic swept the
city.
Many landslides have occurred around
Lost there. At present it is impossible
to state the number Of dead in the
entire city, but it is believed that there
ARE several hundred, many of whom
sare still in the ruins.
It has laid waste the best part of the
business portion Of the city, and has
doubtless. put Chile back many years
in the scale of civilization.
- The captain Of tho German vessel
sYran, which arrived today at Coquimbo,
plated that when twenty miles at sea
he could see the flames raging in Val
paradise.
Many inhabitants are terrified with
fear of other shocks and the work Of
rescuing the bodies is proceeding very
slowly.
The Bellavista district, which is one
the hills behind the city, is the most
and apparently suffered the same fate
that overlook Mob Hill in San Fran
cisco.

To order around and boss free Ameri-
cans and bullyrag them if they don It
obey "orders'' without question. :
Quite a little chore.
The labor trust leaders tried by
threats and other measures to bully
members of congress into passing some
laws for the benefit Of the labor trust,
but not in the interests Of the people
at large.
They were told they didn It represent
all the people. .:.., -~..
There happens to be 70 millions anti
trust Americans and about millions
labor trust members, many of them
held by force. r.: -, 49,,
Naturally every gain Of either money
or advantage for the members, of any
trust must be absorbed from the "com-
mon' persons outside the trust Every
trust must fatten by feeding off "out-
siders.'' E-Gs- = - ss.--..,
Think it over a moment and see if
that s right. - I'LL,
The beef trust raises the price of
meat.
Who pays the raises
The labor trust raises the price Of
labor and we don't object to that in
reason, but who pays the raise9 The
oil trust tries to freeze out citizen
who starts in an independent oil :, bust
ness. Why's So it can rule and have
its own way and make the people out
side the oil trust "obey" and pay toll.
The labor trust tries to force an anti
injunction bill through congress to pre-
vent courts from issuing restraining
orders or iniunctions, so it can be free
to attack property or independent men
when the protection Of the courts is
withdrawn and thus terrorize the peo-
pie. and make them "obey' the trust
leaders and prevent every independent
American from selling his labor at all,
even though his family may be starv
ing $3.50 ~ 49,.
You are ordered to refuse any labor

of their number badly wounded.s Five
of the peasants were killed and sew

Undaunted by the Cossacks' whips
and sabers, the peasants charged and
forced the Cossacks to take refuge be-

carbines of the Cossacks failed to check
the peasants and finally the Cossacks
were obliged to hee.~
The peasants are reported to have
fought more like wild animals than hu.
