wounded IN. the great earthquakes
which have shaken this city since Thurs
day will number thousands. Hundreds
Iof bodies are buried in the ruins and may
never be found Those who have lost
friends and relatives are frantically search
ing for them The fire is spreading, and
because Of the lack of water the flremen
can make little headway against it.
Very Few Buildings Escape Damage.
Very few buildings in the entire city
have escaped damage of some sort. Whole
streets caved IN IN places and then the
ruins caught fire, making rescue of the
imprisoned impossible.
Thousands have fled from their homes
and are camping IN the open places. YES
Isels in the harbor are crowded with refu-
gees, who have practically taken possession
of the ships IN some cases. The panic is
appalling.
Railways are cut off, not a wheel is
moving, there is no telegraphlc commu-
nication to speak Of, and the whole city is
plunged in darkness except for the light
from the burning ruins.
Plight of Refugees Is Terrible.
Most of the damage was done yester-
day. The shocks began at 8 o'clock on
Thursday and have kept up at intervals
since then, the worst shocks coming yes
terday morning. The plight of all the
refugees is terrible, as the shocks came SO
suddenly that they were unable to save
ANYTHING. How far the fire will spread If
is impossible to estimate at present.

srlLLlNes ENDORSES REFORM.
Public Printer Believes New Spelling
Order Will Be Generally Adopted.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Public
presidents phonetic spelling order in
letter of hearty endorsement. Mr..
Stillings says he has no doubt that
every department of the government
having printing done in the govern
ment printing Office will speedily
adopt the recommendation of the sim
plified spelling commission. Mr.. Still
ings has appointed commission to
revise the manual Of style" of the big
printery and says the 300 words which
have been reformed" will be included
in the new manual. His letter will be
sent to Professor Brander Matthews,
chairman of the Carnegie committee.
New York, Aug. 27.-Dr. c. T. G..
Scott, secretary of the simplified spell
| ing board, is elated over the presf.
dents order that the reform spelling
be used in official documents issuing
from the white house. He believes
that 1t is the greatest step yet made in
simplifying the spelling of English,
although, even with the presidential
Endorsement, he does not believe that
there will be any sudden change from
the old established spelling. DR.. Scott
said that he had been in correspond
ence with the heads Of all the scien-
tiflc bureaus in Washington, the pres
ident and the public printer, and many
government officials, all of whom had
long been eager to reform certain in
constituencies in spelling.

TO STOP IMPORTATION OF ARMS.
Mexico Adopts Plan to Prohibit Hos
tile Indians from Aiming.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Mexico has
decided to prohibit the importation
of arms and ammunition into the state
Of Sonora for the purpose of prevent
ing the hostile Indians in that state
from procuring supplies. A dispatch
announcing this action OF the Mex
icaa government has been received
by the state department from Ambas-
sador Thompson at the City Of Mex
leo.
The smuggling of arms across the
Mexican boundary from New Mexico
and Arizona into the state Of Sonora
has been very extensive within the
last year, and both the United States
and Mexico have been exerting every
effort to prevent the success Of the
smugglers. Some of the arms and
ammunition taken across the border
are said to have reached the Yaqui
Indians, who have been making a
great deal of trouble for American
miners and other foreigners as well
as for the Mexican authorities. Sew
eral months ago the state department
was instrumental In having the Unit
ed States boundary carefully watched,
but IN spite OF American and Mexican
guards firearms have been smuggled
across the boundary and Msxico's EN-.
barge against the importation OF all
firearms Is regarded as the best plan
for preventing the activity OF SNUG.

Officials Watching Situation.
Washington, Aug. 27.-The Cuban
situation is receiving much attention
from state department officials, who
are keeping carefully in touch with
the developments in the little repub.
lie. The department received no dis
patches Saturday throwing any new
light on the situation. Officials be-
lieve from the general character of
the revolution that it has good financial
support, and Is thoroughly organized.
So far the state department has
shown no disposition to interfere in
any way in Cuban affairs, and, more.
over. officials at the department do
not expect that it will be necessary
for this government to aid the Cuban
government in putting down the in
surrection. However, the state de.
partment is showing far greater in
terest in Cuba's unsettled condition
than it did several days ago.

interference Of America in Cuban at
fairs. The emissaries declare Cuba
has been subjected to g thinly yelled
American tyranny, making liberty q
farce.

Chicos Direct From Maker and
Save Patrons Jobbers' Profit.
The fact that Wadsworth Bros.
sell their Chicos direct to the leading
retailers, thus saving all middlemen s
and jobbers' profits enable me to buy
the Chico so that I can sell them for
five cents straight.
The Chico is a fine, rich aromatic
cigar, with special selection of high
grade Havana filler, and while it costs
me more than any other five cent cigar
in my case, yet I am always glad to
recommend it for I know thata smok=
Ter who buys Chico will come back to
my store for more
The best men in this city, the bank
ers, lawyers, the merchants, those who
can afford to spend ten, fifteen cents
or more for cigar prefer Chico on
account of their mildness, and their
true Havana fragrance and flavor.
When you can get real Havana
cigar for nickle what is the use OF
paying a higher price or smoking a
poorer cigar?
Try Chico and you will agree that
it is the best cigar for the money that
you have ever smoked. au % sep Ills

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the
Common Aches and Ills Of

As one weak link weakens chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking

Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole

Aches and pains and langor and

embarrassing tendency towards diabe-
