Ell Paso, Texas, Jan. 17.--Three Jap

mysteriously disappeared. They came
to the fort two months ago disguised
as laborers and applied for work.
Their actions in examining the fort,
the equipment and close attention to
the drilling, their large supply OF
money and the discovery that they
were frequently making memoranda,
coupled with their military bearing
and the Difference shown to one by
the other caused suspicion and fin
ally led to the discovery that they
were Japanese officers. One OF them
overheard the officers of the post dis
cussing the matter. Immediately all
three disappeared.

BEAR SKULKING
AROUND SANTA FE
'1uh'ers FAN to Find Bruin or ANY
tracks of Him-Was II
a Hoax?

An lmpromptu bear hunt was in
progress yesterday i'm the foothills
north of Santa Fe. Word reached the
city in the morning that big black
bear had been seen coming down from
| the mountains and there was a hasty
exit OF local sports on foot and horse
back armed with rifles and shotguns
Although the foothills in that vicinity
were secured by the intrepid hunters
no besr could be found.
A native wood chopper is said to
thave brought the first news to town.
He claimed to have seen it himself
but little credence was placed in the
story then. However, when several
boys of-the ncighborhood also report
ed that bear was roo.-aing around in
the foothills north of the city; -ea.a
sporting fraternity became aroused to
action and fifteen or twenty Of them
were soon headed for the place where
the animal was alleged to have made
its appearance.
The hunting party scattered in all
directions but Mr. Bruin wisely kept
out Of sight. If he had indiscreetly
come within range it is safe to pre-
sumo that his hide would have been
so perforated with bullets that there
wouldn't have been anything left of
it but the bare skin. After spending
several hours in a futile search for
the animal the hunters came to the
conclusion that they had been made
the victims of hoax. At least they
could not discover any bear tracks in
the snow, and the only footprints Wis.
ible were those of dogs or coyotes.

this afternoon, to give any official fig
ures of the death roll and the extent
of the destruction, yet from many re-
sponsible sources the information
concurs showing the growing proper
tlons of the catastrophe. A dispatch
received from Sir Alfred Jones during
the night says tina every house in
Kingston has been destroyed and
that the city was heap of smouder-
ing ashes. This dispatch has awak-
ened the British public to great
extent as this is terrible blow to
their favorite colony, as Sir Alfred is
among the most Trustworthy figures
in the commercial world.
First Shock Was Terrific.
London, Jan. ia dispatch just
received from Holland Bay, dated the
18th says that the first shock at King
ston occurred at 1886 p M, Jan. ID
and did all the damage, the subse-
quent shocks having little effect
Fire Immediately followed and spread
in three directions, being famed by
strong winds and the firemen were
handicapped by the absence of water
supply, which was cut off by the
earthquake
Loss Estimated at $10,000,000.
The dispatch, after confirming the
report that hundreds were killed,
says at least thirty or forty were
killed by the collapse of the Myrtle
Bank Hotel. The sender of the dis
patch does not mention any looting or
violence, except in the case of few
rumshops which were invaded by
negroes Reports from st. Thomas
estimated the dead at 1000 and placed
the damage at ten million dollars.
Remarkable Escape Of Jones Party.
Alfred Jones and several members
of his party had remarkable es-
cape. They had lunched at the Myr
tie Bank Hotel and then went to the
pier to toss coins into the water for
negro divers. The visitors had just
left the pier on their way back to the
hotel lawn when The earthquake came
and the hotel toppled over The pier
which they had just left was also de-
stroyed.
Shocks Felt Elsewhere.
Reports from Austria and Switzer-
land show that seismatc disturbances
also occurred there on Monday at
about the same time as the ones in
Jamaica, indicating a widespread un.
rest of the earth's crust.
Unrest In Earth General.
London, Jan. 17.-That there is a
general state of unrest in the earth,
of which the Jamaica disturbance is
only one instance. is the belief of
Professor Belar, the famous seismolo.
igst and astronomer at. Laibach Oh.
servatory. His instruments not only
registered the Jamaican disturbances,
but gives other proofs of terrestrial
phenomena in the shape of light
shocks elsewhere, hailstorms and
rockfalls.
