REQUIEM FOR 1900.
Death List in Costa Rica Earthquake
Grows AppalIinglY.

San Jose, Costa Rica, May g.
Chimes of the historic Church Del Car
men, the belfry of which withstood the
earthquake shock of Wednesday, tolled
a requiem at sunset tonight for Car
tago's dead.
While the bells pealed out the It'd
ings of sorrow, 5000 homeless men,
women and children, their uncovered
heads bowed with grief, stood in silent
prayer upon the hill tops overlooking
the ruins Of the ancient city. Hour by
hour the magnitude of the disaster be-
comes more apparent.
Eighteen hundred are dead. Almost
as many are wounded. many of whom
will die. Ten thousand are homeless,
hundreds are starving. Scores have
been driven insane.
For the brave survivors, who for
three days have witnessed almost un-
speakable horrors, perils of famine
and pestilence remain to be faced.
Pioneers of Costa Rica are facing
them with undaunted hearts.
Huddled in camps of refuge, biv-
ouacked under the shadow of the vol
cano Poaz, the city's wealthy and
poor alike arose today from third
night of terror, ready to plan for the
task of reconstructing new and
grander city over the smoking rem
nant of what is Cartago, waste of
ashes and tumbled masonry.
Hundreds of victims were laid to
rest today. Long trenches were dug
and whole families buried together.
Many of the dead were unidentified.
From the ruins scores of bodies are
being removed hourly.
Some Americans are reported killed,
but indentifcation, even by the records,
is now impossible.
The American colony Immediately
set about to rescue those pinned down
by wreckage.

uMATILLA OUT OF DEBT.
Treasurer Issues Call for All Warrants
and Will Pay Cash.

Pendleton-Umatilla county is now
out of debt and on cash basis. This
was made known in the semi-annual
financial statement of the county clerk
just made public. A call has been
issued by the treasurer for every road
warrant outstanding, all warrants is
sued up to January l of this year have
been called in, and there is money
enough to pay every warrant to the
present time, and leave a small bal
ance on hand.
The statement is dated April l and
shows the amount of cash in the treas
ury at that time as 1858, 433.27. Since
the report was prepared call has been
issued for general road fund warrants,
$64, 900 has been paid out of the school
funds, and several thousand dollars
have been-paid out of the city and other
funds, leaving little more than $143,-
900 on hand. Less than $4,000 of
this belongs in the general and road
funds, which sum is amply sufficient to
meet all claims.

DYING CAPTAIN BEos PARDON
Wrecked Submarine Yields Last Mes
sage From Commander.

Wrecked Submarine Yields Last Mes
sage From Commander.
Victoria, B. c., May 9.-While Com
mander SalSuma and his IA men were
living in wrecked submarine off Kure
on April Is, the commander wrote a
letter to the emperor begging forgive
ness for loss of the vessel and COM
mending his officers and men. The
letter was found after the submarine
had been raised.
The submarine was of the newest
type, and was engaged on April 15near
Hiroshima bay, carrying out her part
in the maneuvers, being submerged J.
500 yards east of her parent ship. Two
hours passed without notice of the sub
marines failure to rise and then, sig-
nails being unanswered, boat was low
cred and efforts made to locate the
submarine.
Much of the letter was not publish
ed, but it is stated that Lieutenant
Sakuma expressed sorrow to the en-
peror for the loss of his vessel and
brother officers and crew, whom ne
praised for their heroism and calm
wait for death, and he requested the
emperor to succor their families. The
last writing was made an hour and 20
minutes after the boat was submerged,
and conveyed messages of farewell to
the minister of the navy and friends,
stating that breathing had become so
difficult that further writing as i'm
possible.
The letter said one of the crew had
tried to close the valve of the ventila-
tion pipe, but the chain had broken.
He tried to close the valve with his
hand, but was too late. Water began
to enter by the rear part Of the boat,
which fell 25 degrees. The dynamo
was submerged and all the lights
went out, bad gas accumulating al
most simultaneously. The crew drove
the current of water from the main
tank and tried to get rid of it by hand
pumps. They were drenched as they
worked and chilled. The message end
ed with statements that all were ready
for death. The submarine was being
tested on a gasoline semi-submerged
voyage.

IS BLOWN TO BITS
Powder Works and Magazine al
Hull, Quebec, Destroyed.
Baseball Crowd Gathered to Watch
the Fire, Disregards Warning,
and Many are Slaughtered.

Ottawa, Ont, May 10.-In an ex-
plosion today the plant of the General
Explosives company, Of Canada, near
Hull, Quebec, was totally wrecked.
Fifteen persons were killed and so
others injured. The force of the ex-
plosion was terrifying. The country
for miles around was laid waste and
many small buildings in the city of
Hull, on the side nearest the explosion,
were laid flat on the ground.
A baseball game was in progress a
short distance from the powder works.
about O'Clock this evening. The
teams were playing the last inning and
when fire was seen in one of the
small buildings of the powder plant,
the crowd began to swarm up the hill
to get better view of the blaze.
Warnings of danger soon came to
the onlookers in two small explosions.
Sparks and fragments of the wrecked
building fell among the spectators and
there was scurrying from what was
considered the danger zone.
Some men in the crowd, aware of
the possibility of the danger when the
main magazine should be reached,
pleaded with the crowd to go still fur
ther back. Many needed the warning.
Others, apparently enjoying the ele-
ment of danger in the spectacle, stood
within 1000 yards of the burning
buildings. They were kept on the qui
vive by the continuous detonations
that sent showers of burning brands in
all directions.
The scene where the crowd from
the ball game stood resembled battle
field. Headless, armless and legless
bodies were lying about among scores
Of unconscious forms. The silence
that followed the final death-dealing
blast was broken by the terrifying
cries and means which came with re-
turn to consciousness of the badly in
iured.

RECLAMATION sHAKF-UP SURE
BaIlnger Says If He Stays Every Dis
loyal Subordinate Must Go.


Washington, May 10. -Reorganiza-
tioR Of the reclamation service, long
rumored, is regarded as a certainty
since the declaration on the witness
stand yesterday of Secretary Ballinger
that if he continued at the head of the
department of the interior, the
"snakes" would call be killed-every
one of them"
Secretary Ballinger makes no secret
of his determination to have a loyal
force around him. Washington knows
pretty we'll the difficulties with which
he has had to contend, which are the
difficulties that beset any man in high
position whose subordinates resort to
"ofice politics" to prevent the results
he is seeking to attain. Hence, re-
gardless of views as to the merits of
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy it
self, there is a general sympathy with
the attitude of Ballinger himself.
Any secretary, says that part of
Washington officialdom that has had
real experience and undertands, would
be justified in enforcing loyal action
by those lower down and in discharg-
ing those subordinates who are insub-
ordinate. Consequently Washington
again without reference to how it
may divide upon the personal issue
applauds the secretary's statement
yesterday:
81 have found that the only way to
control some of these fellows is to dis
charge them"
For other official Washingtonians
have been in the same boat.
Ballinger refused pointedly to speci-
fly which "snakes" will be Killed, but
his previous Testimony has helped
Washington to make some predictions
as to heads that will fall.

BIG WHEAT BELT.
Stockraising Will Give Way When
Transportation is Provided.

transportation is Provided.
Mayville-The Mayville wheat belt
is one of the finest in Eastern Oregon,
and has never known a crop failure.
There would not be heavier initial
grain shipping point in Oregon than
Mayville, were it possible for farmers
to reach the railroad within reasonable
distance. The long hauls make grain
raising improbable business in times
of low prices.
The magic wand of railroad or rail-
roads ushers in new era. Wheeler
county will show to the world that it is
second to no county in Eastern Oregon
in diversified farming, stockraising,
dairying, fruit raising and numbering
The undeveloped counties of Eastern
Oregon are not all as rich in resources
as Wheeler and Grant counties. All
along the Jonh Day and its tributary
streams the soil and climate are espe-
cially adapted to producing the finest
of fruits, especially apricots and
peaches, up to an altitude Of 2, 800
feet above sea level, and unbeatable
apples and others of the harder fruits
at still higher attitudes.
Thus far this valley has never been
touched by a railroad. 1t has been
fianked by the Sumpter road on the
East, and by the Heppner, Condor and
Shaniko roads on the North, all from
20 to 100 miles from the fertile John
Day country, but each drawing from it

EARTHQuAKE RUINS CITY.
Hundreds Killed at Cartago, Costa
Rica-Bodies Being Recovered.

Rica-Bodies Being Recovered.
San Jose, Costa Rica, May THE
earthquake that laid waste the town
of Cartago occurred at $50 o'clock
Wednesday night and continued about
18 seconds. In that brief time the
buildings of the place collapsed, bury
ing hundreds. The dead were first es-
timated at 500, but it is believed to-
night that the fatalities were much
greater.
Four hundred bodies were recovered
today.
Following the shock twilight was
turned into darkness of midnight by
clouds of dust that rose from the
ruins. Panic ensued and the cries of
the injured and fleeing survivors filled
the air.
Cooler heads went to the telegraph
Office to summon help, only to find the
operators dead, lines down and traffic
impaired on, the reailroad.
AS soon as the news reached San
Jose, President Gonzales Vicques, ac-
companied by President-elect Richard
Jiminez andd many doctors and nurses,
started on a special train to aid the
survivors. Upon the presidents ar
rival at Cartago, martial law was pro-
claimed. Provisions, medicines and
clothing were dispatched from here.
Throughout the day special trains ar
rived here, bringing the wounded.
Hundreds of survivors were camped
outside the ruined city awaiting trans
portation to other points. They are
being fed at public expense. Seven
carloads of provisions have been dis
patched from here and Alajuela.
The beautiful peace palace, the gift
of, Andrew Carnegie, erected at cost
of 500, 900, was converted into pile
of debris. Other public buildings met
the same fate.
Many students at the college of the
Silestan Fathers were killed.
The tremors continue tonight and the
terror of the people increases. The
fear of further shocks has extended to
the neighboring towns.
Only the early hour of the evening
at which the disaster occurred pre-
vented much greater loss of life. At
the time many people were in the open.
So far no deaths have been reported
among the American colony.
The disaster was not preceded by
any activity of the volcano Poaz or of
other volcanic vents. The shock was
felt throughout Costa Rica and in parts
of Nicaragua. Great fissures opened
at many places in the volcanic zone.
The ministers of Mexico and of Cen
trail American countries have asked
their governments to contribute to the
aid of their sister republic. Several
prominent Spanish-Americans are
among the dead. These include the
wife of DR.. Becanegra, the Guatema-
Ian magistrate to the Central Ameri-
can arbitration court, and Senor Trejos.

Date for Revolution Set.

Changsha, China, May 1O.-The gen.
eral uneasiness has been greatly in
creased here by the appearance of a
large number of posters unsigned de-
manding the destruction of foreigners
and of native Christians, and setting
May q as the date for a general anti
Manchu uprising. Government off
cials have destroyed the posters and
the city is being strongly patrolled.
Agitators are holding secret meetings,
but it is believed that the presence of
foreign gunboats will act as a check to
the movements.

APACHES ATTACK WOMAN.
Prospector With Clubbed Revolver
Makes Rescue Against Odds.

Globe, Ariz., May 7-Drunken ..Apa-
ches attacked the ranch of Daniel Ma
ben, four miles East of Globe, last
night in quest of Maben, who had
killed an Apache several months ago.
Maben is now in the territorial insane
asylum and only his wife and 16-year-
old daughter were at the ranch.
Eugene Barrows, prospector, res
cued Mrs. Maben and her daughter af-
ter thrilling encounter.
Using his weapon as a club, Barrows
fought his way through the Indians,
who numbered half dozen. The last
one attacked him with a knife and
Barrows broke the revolver over his
head.
Barrows and the women succeeded
in reaching the Sixty-Six ranch, half
mile away, and came into Globe this
morning

Big Soap Factory Burns.

Kansas City, Mo-, May THE plant
of the Peet Bros. Manufacturing COM
pany, one of the largest soap and gly-
cerine factories in the southwest, was
destroyed by fire tonight, entailing a
loss estimated at 1880, 900. The
flames for time threatened the plants
of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
Packing company, and the American
Dressed Beef company. Energetic
work on the part of the firemen pre-
vented serious damage to the Schwarz-
child plant when the south wall of the
Peet plant fell upon it.

Great Northern to Build.

Great Falls, Mont, May THE
Great Northern Railway company to-

miles long, from Hauck's siding on the
Billings & Northern, Great Northern
branch, to junction with the main
line on the Great Northern at a point
near Mondak, on the Montana-Da Dakota

Mud Spring school house. The we'll
has reached depth of 1893 feet, water
rising to height of so feet. The out

dents of the neighborhood, as it is the
first undertaking of the kind attempt

RooseveIt's Name suggested.

New York, May 9.-That Theodore
Roosevelt be named as the speciael
representative of the United States to
attend the funeral of King Edward is
the suggestion which will be put be-
fore President Taft by members of the
Roosevelt Welcoming committee here.
The appointment of Colonel Roosevelt,
however, would depend on the date set
for the funeral, as it is possible that
the obsequies may not be held until af-
ter he leaves for the United States.
