worst is now apparently known. The
town itself is wreck, very few of the
houses standing remaining habitable.
and the population is living in the

Food and medical supplies continue
scarce, but relief ships are hurrying
to the stricken city from many quart

alienation in this respect.
The death list is probably about 700.

Progress is being made in clearing
away the debris. Dynamite is resorted
to in clearing away menacing ruins.
Good order prevails in the city.
Admiral Davis, who is in the har-
Dor with the battleships Missouri and
Indiana, was called on for help in the
work of policing the city, and he
promptly responded by landing ma
rines. These sea soldiers are now
plcketing the streets and assisting the
authorities to maintain order.
All mariners are warned that the
two lighthouses at the harbor entrance
have been destroyed and that the ap-
rroach to the harbor at night is peril

No Americans were killed as a re-
suit of the disaster, despite the fact
that there were many American tour
lists in the place when the visitation
came. A large number of these tour
lists have taken refuge on the warships
Ia the harbor. American aid has been
timely in this hour of trouble to
British possession, and the dispatches
agree it is warmly appreciated by the
stricken people.

FIVE REDS PERISH IN JAIL.
None Near to Unlock Door When FIRE
Burns CeIi.

Burns Celi.
Pendleton, Ore, Jan. 21.-F1re
started in the Jail at the agency on
the Umatilla reservation early sun
day morning, but was not discovered
until the building was a mass OF flames
and before assistance could be given
five Indians were burned to death. Tue
fire was first seen about 3 o'clock by
A. Christianson, a farmer living near
the agency. He gave the alarm and at
once there was confusion among the
employees and Indians, all forgetting
at the time that there were inmates
in the jail. Industrial Agent Gardner
the only person having key to the
Jail, was occupied in getting the small
children up and out of the rooms and
conveying them to places of safety,
end before he could reach the Jail the
building was almost consumed. In the
meantime, others attempted to chop
the door down to liberate the unfor-
tunate Indians, but were unsuccessful.
The dead are: Richard Thomas,
Yakima Indian; Abraham Liman and
fteuIy COOh, OHldlilldo, OLu- oniii'l'N
and Wet-A-Snook, Lapwal Indians.
The bodies of four were found hud-
died together in one corner, burned
to a crisp. The body of Richard Thorn
as was found in another corner and
identified by his wife by the ring he
wore
Wild Scene at the Agency.
When it became known that the In
dams had burned to death, there was
wild excitement among the women and
children and employees had great diff
fculty in establishing quiet at the
agency. Indian police and white men
living near were summoned to assist
in restoring order.
The five men were arrested and lock-
ed up by the Indian police on charges
Of drunkenness. Before leaving the
police searched the prisoners and say
they found no matches on their per
sons. AS no fire has burned in the
stove since Christmas the origin OF the
fire is a Mystery The only plausible
solution offered is that one of the In
dams lighted a cigarette and careless
ly threw match upon one of the
sleeping prisoners. setting fire to his
clothing.

The miners federation convention
has adopted a resolution criticizing
the governors of Colorado and Idaho
for what they termed the unwarranted
prosecution of Meyer, Pettibone and
Haywood. The resolution declares:
1T is not the intention of the courts
OF Idaho to give the accused a fair
and impartial trial. Their extradition
was contrary to law and covered by
fraud, which disgraced the jurispru-
dence of the people"
A robber recently stole a box con-
tanning $500 in gold bullion bound
for the San Francisco mint, from an
express truck at Barstow at o'clock
in the morning. The bullion, with
much other express matter, was being
transferred from the westbound train
at Los Angeles to the San Francisco
train.
The convention of the United Mine
workers of America adopted the report
OF President Mitchell, and refused to
concur in the report of Vice President
Lewis. President Mitchell indorsed
the action of the last convention in
allowing miners to sign agreements by
districts. Vice President Lewis had
taken the opposite position.
