AVALANCHE OF MUD.

Mountain Landslide.

An avalanche of mud and slime over

warning the side of a mountain rising
over the district broke away and people
and cattle were buried.
At least 2J5 persons have been buried
alive. The streets are flooded six feet
deep with yellow mud. Acres of crops
have been destroyed and hundreds of head
of cattle.

were popular demonstrations every
where In favor of the revolution. Of
flcials were turning over towns to the
rebels and the defeat Of the Palma ad-
ministration seemed inevitable. 1t was
these facts which led Palma to appeal
for American sailors.
The landing of the American force
was followed by an extraordinary Incl
dent. Commander COlwell was ap-
preached by an accredited emissary Of
Alfredo Zayas, president OF the Liberal
party, and Gen. LOynaZ Grl Castillo,
commander OF the insurgent forces in
Havana province, with signed offer
from each Of the men named to sur
render their commands and hand over
the sole condition that the United

Commander COlwell, accompanied b.

carried the proposition to President
Palma. The President was immensely
pleased and asked Colwell II he would
accept the surrenders. Commander Col
well replied in the negative, but advised
the President to communicate with the
Washington government on the subject,
which was done accordingly.
Hurry orders were issued to com
manderS of cruisers Newark. Tacoma

This was found in good condition and

Surgeon General Rixey passed some
time in the Philippines and not only visit
ed the hospitals of the navy, but went
through the hospitals in Manila, and es-
pecially studied the sanitary conditions OF
that city. The naval hospital at Cana
Gao, near Cavite, is declared to be in good

point of view. AT Clongopo, which is the

PACKERS BUSINESS INCREASE.
Grilling Has No Appreciable Effect
on the Domestic Sales.


The output of products OF the Chicago
stock yards packing companies for do
mestic consumption, for the first seven
rno4iths of this year has increased mate
rally over the volume of business FOR the
same period in other recent years, in spite
of the severe grilling the big packers re-
ceived during most of that tire at the
hands OF federal, State and cSy officials
and the newspapers Of the ertfre world.
The report of the Depar ement Of Com
merce and Labor, made public in Wash
ington, shows this to be a fact. The
figures of the trade Movements Of the
country are given for July and for the
seven months ending with July.
Shipments of packing house products

been the difficulty of obtaining needed
help at harvest time. AS each year an
additional area has been put under crop
this scarcity of help has been accentuated,
and during the present harvest the cry all
along the line has been "Harvesters
Wanted" The work of preparation and
seeding is spread over several months, but
the ingathering of the harvest has to be
done in a few weeks; hence the necessity
for additional assistance at that partcu-
lar time. The crop of 1903 required lS.-
On - harveStcrs from outside, and this year
it has been estimated that from 22,OJN
10 2J.OOO will be required to supplement
the work of the farmers in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The demand for harvest hands Is not
permanent. the work for which they come
lasting only from early in August until
the end o" the threshing season. Many
of those who come TO work IN the grain
fields. however, remain and become grain
growers themselves, creating additional
demand for the same class of help, and
thus the problem becomes more acute
every succeeding year. The time was
when a sufficient number of harvest hands
could easily be obtained from Ontario,
but in recent years the area taken in by
the harvest excursions has been extended
and in 1904 and 1905 it reached clear
down to Nova Scotia in the call for men
to work in the fertile fields of the West.
This year the limit has been further ex-
tended. and a new movement of British
farm laborers has been inaugurated,
which will be of incalculable benefit to
the prairie country, giving a stimulus to
immigration, and disseminating among

Supervisors Committee
Decides on Syste m of
Distributed Cisterns

The joint committee on fire and wa
ter of the Board of Supervisors. took
preliminary steps yesterday to estab-
lish a system OF salt water cisterns
throughout the city for fire protection.
Chief Engineer Shaughnessy OF tho
Fire Department was called into con-
sultation by the committee and made
the important announcement that the
proposed auxiliary water supply sys-
tenn on Twin Peaks, for which $4,000
was appropriated, is not practicable
for this city.
IT have changed my views since the
disaster as to the desirability of a high
pressure water system, such as was
contemplated in connection with the
Twin Peaks reservoir" he said. The
pressure of 900 pounds to the foot
would be too much, and there would
be danger of the distributing system
being destroyed.
Shaughnessy recommended that els
terms of reinforced concrete of 100000
gallons capacity be constructed In the
ground. principally at the gore cerners
on Market street, about 500 feet apart.
and in the Mission and Western Addi-
ton two blocks apart.
Shaughnessy said he favored pump
ing salt water directly from the ocean
and obtaining the necessary pressure
by pumping through subsidiary sta
tions. He said the Spring Valley Wa
ter Company should be required to con-
meet the cisterns with their mains, SO
that fresh water could be obtained by
means of a gate valve If SO desired.
He also recommended that the cisterns
be built by days labor and that none
but the best materials be used.
Shaughnessy submitted report on
the condition of the cisterns at present
located at various street crossings.
Twenty-four cisterns are in readiness
to use, twelve have been filled in by
certain corporations and twenty-one
are cracked.
The joint committee approved all the
recommendations made by Shaugh-
messy and will proceed to carry them
out at once. The action noted carries
with it the disapproval Of the Twin
Peaks reservoir system as an auxiliary
for fire protection. The City Engineer
was directed to ascertain the cost of
constructing the new cisterns at loca-
tions to be selected by the tIre Com
| missioners. The cost of restoring LIE
damaged cisterns is being ascertained
by the City Engineer. That the COM
| mittee means business was demon
strated by a resolution which was
adopted citing the representatives OF
| corporations which filled up certain
cisterns with dirt to appear at the
meeting TO De held next thursday
afternoon to show cause why they
should not be required to re-excavate
the same and place them In readiness
for use. The corporations include the
telephone company. lighting companies
water company and United Railroads.
| The total capacity of the fifty-seven
cisterns is 100000 gallons During
the fire there were but four in COM
mission. These included one Of 10000
gallons capacity at Dupont and Cali
fornia streets. one of 10000 gallons al
Mason and California and two of t00.-
600 gallons each at Nineteenth and Fol-
som and Twenty-second and Shotweil

Children

Unable to get a supply of vaccine

ment has been compelled to send to
manufacturers east and until these
arrive school children will be permitted
to- pursue studies with unpunctured
skins.
Yesterday DR.. Garcelon, the city
physician who wields the vaccine
needle, was compelled to turn away a
large number of children who came
for vaccination. Some of these children
bore three or four scratches, showing
where recent attempts had been made
to vaccinate them, but the virus had
not "taken."
These scratches had all been inflicted
by needles in the health department.
that were recently purchased, and
which, on account of their failure to
produce results" have been char
acterized as below standard. There
are about 200 of these needles which
must be thrown away.
