REDS IN BATTLE WITH POLICE
Several Officers Slain in Searching
Houses in ST. Petersburg.

Desperate fighting between police
and workmen occurred in the Okhta
quarter of St. Petersburg Saturday
during domiciliary search. When the
police appeared five workmen who
were in the building extinguished all
the lights and opened fire. The Of
ficers responded and the fusilade con-
tinued for some time. The workmeD
finally retreated after killing two in
spectors and two policemen and
wounding three policemen.
A quantity of firearms was discov-
cred in the house. 1t transpired later
that the five men who fought the po-
lice were leaders of the revolutionary
lighting legion. The information
which led the police to search the
house and attempt their capture was
acquired during the investigation in
to the killing of General Pavloff.
A detachment of police surrounded
the house and had Just broken in the
door, when the revolutionists sudden
ly fired a volley at them and during
the confusion which followed, made a
dash for the door and escaped, main
tanning a running fire for some dis
lance.
over 100 arrests have been made in
connection with the assassination of
General Pavloff. The capture of a
clerk belonging to the engineer corps
was considered to be so important
that an entire company of infantry
was detailed to make the arrest.

KINGSTON STRUCK
BY EARTHQUAKE

Halifax, N. S Jan. Is. - d. 3.
Bulge, the manager of the Halifax
and Bermuda Cable company, has re-
ceived a cable dispatch from William
Sullivan, manager of the Bermuda
Gable company at Kingston. The dis
patch is dated Holland Bay, and reads:
Nearly whole of city destroyed by
earthquake and fire; staff all safe with
the exception of one member, who is
seriously injured"
Kingston has population of SO, GOO,
mostly blacks. This is the sixth or
seventh time in 200 years that the
town has suffered calamity.
Kingston, the beautiful capital of
the island of Jamaica, has been devas-
ted by a violent earthquake.
From meager reports received
through such channels as that are open
it has been learned that many of the
most important buildings have been
destroyed and that there hasbeen SER
ious loss of life.
So far as the reports indicate the IA
tailties number less than 100, though
the hospitals are filled with injured
and the list of victims may be mater
tally increased.
Kingston and other points of interest
of the island are at this time of the
year thronged with tourists from DO tn
America and England and the greatest
apprehension is felt for the safety of
many persons who had recently arrived
at the Jamaican resort.

Washington. D. C.. Jan. e4.--Con
gresham Humphreys Of Mississippi
a member Of the committee on river,
and harbors. expressed himself to
night as being well pleased with thu
bill, which carries the largest ap.
preparation foi rivers and harbori
ever made. Discussing the bill b.
said.
Il have no doubt that il will pass
without amendment. The Missis.
slppi below Cairo gets in cash and
continuing contracts 80, 900, and
this is particularly pleasing. We
get 100000 for the next fiscaI
year for revetment work, and I con.
slider this the most distinct advance
for the leyee interests made in many
years.
The tremendous expense Of main.
tanning the levees is due to the fact
that our lines continue to cave into
the river and have to be relocated
and rebuilt. In the lower Yazoo
district 90 per cent. Of the levee line
has been lost or abandoned in the
past Is years on account Of caving
banks. until recently the federal
authorities have refused TO spend
any money to prevent the banks
from caving, but this bill recognizes
the necessity for such work and car
ries 600 to begin it.
"0f course no one gets all he
wants, but the Mississippi river and
its principal tributaries fare pretty
well, In fact, the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys and their tributaries
get more than one.fourth of the total
carried in the bill, and the bill car
ries more than $S3,000,OO0.
Il am well pleased with the pro-
vision made for the various streams
in the state Of Mississippi. The Big
sunflo1er was my hobby, and l am
highly gratifed that ii has been TAX
en- care Of.
THE only regret that | have 30
far as the state Of Mississippi is con-
cerned is that we we're not able to
get the Tombigbee on the bill. Mr..
Gambler has worked without ceasing
for the improvements, and | hoped
very much the engineers would
make a favorable report on it. If
they had done 70 it Is quite certain
he would have gotten an appropria-
ton. This is not the last bill, how
ever, and the Tombigbee will get
one yet
