The consulate was created less than
ten years ago and the first consul was

gresham who had him appoii ted and
lost his position before he had served
the usual four years. Then Francis b.
Gessner, a Washington correspondent,
was given the place. He had been NJ

paign of 1900, and his health had failed.
1t failed more in the dulness of Zittau
and he left without regret In a year.
Then Muench, of St. Louis, took hold.
lie remained but a short time in zittau
and got promotion. Then Pike was ap-
pointed, and served aCceptably. DE was
offered a promotions and the Zittau place
was given to Estes, of Chicago, who had
been elsewhere in the service. Estes
died four days after his appointment
had been announced. and Pike was
asked 10 remain The pay was almost
doubled. and so Pike remained very well
content He has had success and good
health and is not superstItious about
the 'hoodoo" that was supposed 10 hang
over the Zittau post. Pike is wen
known in Washington and a few years
ago was private secretary to Galusha A.
Grow, the famous COngressman-at-larg

GlenwoOd, Pa.
Pike promises TO remain in The service,

able post. kehl is a small town on the

Chilpancingo, Mex, April 16.-This
city has been completely destroyed by
one of the most furious earthquakes
that ever visited this section. The
utmost panic prevails everywhere and
people are fleeing to the open coun-
try. The earth continues to rock at
half hour intervals and many minor
shocks are completing the work of de.

The telegraph operators have in
stalled temporary quarters in an open
square and are working with the sky

Word has reached here that the
town Of Chilapa, forty-two kilometers
to the northeastward, has also been
destroyed. AS yet no details have
been received.
Midway between the cities Of Chill

JURY FAILS TO AGREE
First Trial Of Harry K. Thaw
Ends Without Result
OUT FOR NEARLY TWO DAYS
Prisoner Again Rsmanded to the
Tombs Without Bail to Await
Second Arrangement.

New York, April 13.-Hopelessly d.
Vided-seven for a verdict of guilty
Of murder In the first degree and five
for acquittal on the ground Of insanity
1.-The jury which since Jan. % had
been trying Harry K. Thaw reported
after forty-seven hours and eight min
utes of deliberation that it could not
possibly agree upon verdict. The
twelve men were promptly dis
charged by Justice Fitzgerald, who de-
clared that he, too, believed their task
was hopeless. Thaw was remanded to
the Tombs without bail to await Sec
ond trial on the charge Of having MUIR
dered Stanford White, the noted archi-
tect.
When this new trial would take
place no one connected with the case
would express an opinion. District
Attorney Jerome declared that there
were many other persons accused of
homicide awaiting trial and Thaw
would have to take his turn with the
rest. As to a possible change of
venue both the district attorney and
counsel for Thaw declared they would
make no such move.
Thaw's attorneys will have a con-
ference with the prisoner to decide
upon their next step. They may make
an early application for Thaw's re-
lease on bail Mr.. Jerome said he
would strenuously oppose it. He added
the belief that as seven Of the jurors
had voted for Equity" his opposition
would be successful. In that event
Thaw has another long summer before
him in the city prison for his case, al
ready on q crowded criminal calendar
cannot possibly be reached until some
time next fall.

Project for Standing Army in Cuba Of
$4,000 Men.
Washington, April 15.-The general
staff has transmitted to Governor Ma
COON complete project for the crea-
ton and maintenance of a standing
army for Cuba, composed entirely of
native troops and numbering about
$4,000 men. The adoption Of this
project involves the abandonment of
the original plan for the increase of
the Cuban rural guard. The original
plan was never highly regarded by
the general staff, but it's details were
worked out in compliance with a re-
quest emanating from the Cubans
themselves and transmitted by Gov
ernor Magoon. Publication of the
plan aroused opposition parties in
Cuba, the principal objection being
that the increase of the rural guard
would result in the disappearance of
the local police forces and the loss by
the municipalities Of all police con-

Unconfirmed Report of Heavy Loss Of
Life in Mexico.

1llC Tx NSN'NOs
City of Mexico, April 16.-Word
from the center of the great destruc-
ton of the earthquake of Sunday night
was first given to this capital by the
Associated Press after repeated trials
to establish communication with the
stricken districts. AS yet wires to the
section are working badly and no
exact estimate of the number Of the
dead has been received 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the total death
list will be large.
From messages received at the tele1
graph Office here up to noon it appears
that the entire southern half of the
republic, including the lower country
and the MESA" belt, felt the shock.
Messages from as far north as San
Luis Pctosi and as far south as the
city of San Juan Bautista, in the state
Of Tabasco, report feeling the shock
in varying degrees. But at no place
up to date has loss of life or great
destruction of property been reported
excepting the state of Guerro.
! The "Banco Nacional" (National
bank of Mexico) has received a tele-
gram saying that 500 lives we're lost
in the destruction of Chilpancingo and
Chilana. The telegram adds that
both cities we're destroyed. In gov
ernmental circles the report is not
credited. 1t is admitted that both
cities were levelled to the ground but
It is not thought that the death list
will even approximate 500, owing to
the fact that the houses are massive
affairs built of stohe in order to resist
earthquake shocks.
