The authorities are showing the utmost
energy IN the protection Of PROF erty.
With the fret terrible shock OF the

walls falling with tremendous noise.
The inmates in many cases were unable
to escape. The shock WAS followed al
most Immediately by fierce storm, the
wind prostrating the walls that had
been weakened by the earthquake, and
these broke trolley wires, which fash
cd incessantly. The second shock WAS
even heavier than the first.

ST. Peter sburg, Aug. 28.-saturday'
unsuccessful attempt on the life of Pre-.
mier stolypin, with its sickeping, use
less sls aghter OF 32 persons. was fol.
lowed today by another revolutionary
outrage, In which General Min. com.
mander OF the Seminovsky Guard reei-
ment, and who since his promotion
to be general has been attached az a
personal adjutant to the suite OF the
emperor, was killed on the station
platform at Pelerhof by young wo-
man, who fired FIVE shots into his BODY
from an automatic revolver and then
without resistance submitted to arrest.
The capture OF the girl was effected
by General Minis wife, who held her
until the arrival OF an officer.
This was the third successive at
tempt ON the life OF General Min, who
was condemned to death by the terror
ists Immediately after the Moscow re-.
volt last December, on account OF stern
repression practiced by battalion un-
der his command, and especially for
the Wholesale execution OF persons con-
demned by drumhead courtmartial for
being caught with arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhof and had
Just greeted his wife and daughter on

then three more into bis body as It
sank to the ground. Further shots
were prevented by Nine. Min, who
threw herself upon the murderees and
seized the hand which held the pistol.
The woman did not attempt to escape. |
but she cautioned Nine. Min not to |

Its interests Are Large and Chilean
Credit Is Good.
New York, Aug. 22.-Quan Tonkin,
Chilean civil engineer, who is now in
New York, said last night:
SIN Valparaiso local and foreign in
terests are so great that 1t is absolutely
certain the city will be rebuilt. The
financial burden of rehabilitation will
not be thrown on Chile alone, but also
on the numerous foreign interests,
which include most Of the nations OF
the world. OF the foreign interests !
believe the English will be the heaviest
losers, especially the many English fire
insurance companies that suffered such
great losses in the destruction OF San
Francisco. However, il must be kept
in mind that Chile enjoys very high
financial credit, especially in the Lon
don market, where her bonds are quot
ed at 9916 per cent. The external debt
OF Chile is about s105, 900, 900, which
has always been scrupulously served,
and it takes only 81 per cent of the
Chilean government revenue to serve
this debt. The Chilean state railway
alone represents nearly as much as the
external debt, while the salt petre
lands represent four or five times az
much MORE"

Deficiency in Appropriations for Ma
neuvers of State Troops.
Washington, Aug. 24.-After month
oil hard work, Assistant Secretary DIV
er, OF the War department, concluded
that he had finally made satisfactory
adjustment OF the many difficulties in
apportioning the appropriation Of $780,.
900 for pay of the militia at the ma
neuvers in different camps throughout
the country, but it appears that all lie
not satisfactory. In some cases more
state troops than had been given in the
schedule were sent into the camps and
more expense was thus added. This
caused deficit in the allotment OF
funds, especially in the matter of pay
Tor the state troops. The pay depart
ment OF the army decided to pay the
troops as long as the funds lasted. those
who came last going unpaid. Another
adjustment may be made after the
camps have finished their work, as
some camps may not use all the money
allotted to them and the funds can be
used to make up the deficit elsewhere.
IL is possible that congress will be ask
ed TO make an appropriation to cover
the deficit and the state troops pain
next winter.

Cuban Insurgents Capture Another
Town From Government.


Town From Government.
Havana, Aug. "a Pine Guerrero
the insurgent leader In finar del Rio
today followed up the capture Of Sal
Luis, by taking San Juan de Martinez
the terminus Of the Western railroad
and by threatening to wreck the rail
road and all it's property unless th.
company ceases forwarding troops FOL
the government.
Alarmed by these insurgent success
es, the government has ordered from
an American arms manufacturing com.
pany four rapid-iire guns and that
these pieces be manned by ex- members
OF the artillery branch OF the American
army now here. II these guns prove
TO be effective, four or more additional
guns will be ordered, and II is expected
that experienced gunners will be pro-
cured In the United Staes to man them.
The United States has not been asked
to do anything In the premises.
The subject OF American intervention
Is not much discussed here, and is re-
garded as a remote possibility, there
being general confidence that the gov
eminent will be able TO restore order In
a short time.
The killing Of the insurrectionary
leader, General Quentin Bandera, TO-
lay in an engagement between rural
guards and band OF his followers is
regarded as dealing the insurrection
heavy blow.
Public opinion appears to vary &C.
'ording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government 10 open
ebellion. In this city the general at
ltude is one OF loyalty, but there has
'een nothing which could be fairly de-
cribed as general rising OF the people
