Valparaiso, Aug. 22.--From the plaza de Ia Victoria, as far as the plaza in the section called Las Delicias, four nfths of the houses are completely de- Stroyed and the remaining fifth are bad ty damaged.
 From the Place de la Victoria down to the custom house only about one-third of the houses sustained damage. The banks of the city and the customs warehouses were not damaged. With the exception of Espiritu Santo, all the churches in the city were destroyed as were the hospitals and the theatres. The number of dead is more than 2,000
 The offices of Havas Agency, al- though seriously damaged are still be- ing used for the company's business. The tragic scenes of the San Francisco disaster were reproduced here. There was the fight against fire. the lack of water and robbery and pillage.
 The authorities are now beginning to get in provisions and water again la being supplied. All the fires have been extinguished.

Havenor of Milwaukee. and seconded by T. J Bryce of Columbus referring the whole matter to the National Base Ball Com mission.
 This action was taken in view of the fact that earlier in the day the control of the Minneapolis club passed into new hands. the new owner being Gus Koch of this city Kelley and Lid- yard by disposing of their stock sever their connection as officers of the club, this situation rendering 1t unnecessary for the Board of Directors of the Amer ican Association to take action in their cases
 The resolution includes request that the National Commission, at the ear Hest possible opportunity, take such action in reference to L. A. Lidyard and NJ. J. Kelly as in their judgment seems best and proper.

Drago Doctrine Referred to the Peace

 Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 22.--The Inter- national American Conference today adopted, with slight technical modi- fcation, the Mexican convention reia- tive to the exercise of the liberal pro fcssfons
 The resolution recommending the submission of the Drago doctrine on the matter of the use of force for the collection of public debts to The Hague tribunal was adopted unanimously The preamble states that no definite conclu- sion was proposed by this conference composed exclusively of representatives of American countries. but that the principles in question should be passed upon by an assembly composed of rep resentatives of all nations as the prin- cipal affects the internal and sover- eighty rights Of the nations. The res- olution further expresses the opinion that the declaration should be extended to cover all controversy having pecun- iary origin.
 The session recommends that the Governments represented in this con ference consider the point of inviting the second conference of The Hague tribunal to consider the question of compulsory collection of public debts anu III general means lenulHg 70 uiulin- ish between nations conflicts having ex- clusively pecuniary origin"
 The report of the committee on loca- tion of the next conference will ad- here to the proposition for the choice of Mexico Citq for the next conference, but it will be accompanied by a rec ommendation in favor of Buenos Ayres for the conference of 1910, the centen- ary of several of the South American republics.
