RETURNING VISITOR
SEES CAUSE FOR ALARM
Chicago Man Back From Havana Ex-
pected Revolution to Begin
Any Time.
4

New ORLEANS, August 23.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Chalmette,
which arrived here from Havana tonight,
was F. A. Escott, an undertaken of Chi
cago. In speaking of conditions In Cuba
Mr. Escott declared that he and otner
Americans on the island expected a revo-
luton would begin at almost any time.
The arrival of the rural guards at Havana
from Santa Clara and Matanzs provinces,
and their quartering so near President
Palma palace gave rise to alarming ru-
mors, Mr.. Escott said
The authorities, however denied that
the government was preparing for trouble
and 1t was explained that the gtnrds were
brought to the capital merely because of
the policy long SINCE adopted of moving
the troops from one province to another.
The troops were given orders to remain
close to the Presidents palace ready to
move at a moments notice. The conf
manding officer showed exceptional ac-
tivity, and i, the manner in which the
armed forces were suddenly called to Ha-
vana caused the people to believe that
trouble was brewing.
When the Chalmette sailed everything
was quiet, but Americans and other for
eigners were in daily fear and were pre-
pairing to protect themselves against
threatened invasion.
Mr. Eseott explained that he went 10
Cuba for the purpose of engaging in the
undertaking business there, but the ,ex-
istence of radical laws favoring Sle ma
tives compelled him to abandon his plans
and return to the United States.

ferred supreme authority on navy Captain
Gomez Carrieno The project of police is
charged with the duty of collecting and
distributing food One of the first acts of
the military governor was to issue an
order that any persons found breaking

supply is fairly adequate and repairs are
actively progressing at Baron Hill, VIVA
del Mar and Ramaditas. where large
number of mains were broken during the
earthquake.
The mayors office is now in Victoria
square. beside the governors tent.
The whole of Victoria street tonight is
illuminated by electric lamps Two other
streets are also lighted. Electric cars
are already running between Becreo and
Baron Hill, and tomorrow probably the
operation of cars will be extended to Vina

that out of forty employees of the tele-

Among the dead at Valparaiso is Federo
Valara, the famous capitalist and politl-

Heavy rains have been falling at VAL

ships endured by the many thousands of
people camping in the streets and squares
or on the hills surrounding the city.
Considerable alarm Is felt here in view
of the conditions in Chile, as no food
supplies are coming from that republic
to Peru, and the latter covatsg does not
produce sufficient for the use of Its inhabi-
tants. These, therefore, partial starvation
