ANOTHER earthquake has destroyed
MANY lives and millions of dollars
worth Of property in Italy The land
Of the Caesars has for many years been
the scene of similar horrors. Scarcely
q wear and half ago Messina and
Reggie we're almost demolished by
seismic disturbances and thousands OF
people killed. But a short time before
Mount Vesuvius had spurted out lava
destroyed much property and caused
much terror in southern Italy. The
zone affected by the earthquake shocks
Yesterday is vast one, embracing
practically the whole of southern Italy,
as we'll as portion of Tuscany and
Venetia. to the north This region has
suffered much in the past from earth
ouakes. and in 1851 800 persons were
killed The number of casualties re-
sulting from the earthquake yesterday
has not yet been definitely ascertalned.
II is feared that there are many persons
hurled in the ruins of the houses which
were thrown down in Calitri, while
great damage was done at other places
which doubtless caused considerable
loss Of life.

nEEIEs UNITED STATES.

AT the first shot fired against the
American flag or an American vessel,
will level the bluff "
This is the reply made yesterday by
Commander Harold K Hines, com
handing the American gunboat Du-
buque, to a threat made by Gen. Rivas,
of the Madriz force holding Bluefields
Bluff, to stop by force any vessels OF
whatever nationality entering the har-
Dor.
Gen. Rivas has practically defed the
United States, declaring that he will dis
regard the proclamation issued from
Washington on May 81 to the effect that
the Unitel States government deny the
right OF either faction to seize Ameri-
can-owned vessels or property without
consent OF and recompense 10 the
owners.
He has warned Commander Hines
that he will prevent by force, regardless
of flag, any further vessels from enter
ing the harbOr. In response to this the
American commander Immediately sent
10 him the above message,
IA critical situation has thus arizen
which may involve the United States.
There are constant rumors OF threats
against the life Of Thomas P. Maffatt,
the American consul at Bluefelds, and
the whole situation at Bluefelds, instead
of quieting, has assumed more serious
aspect.

TIE EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY.

Great apprehension has been caused
again in Italy by seismic disturbances,
the official reports showing that the
zone affected by the earthquake shocks
yesterday is a vast one embracing prac-
ticaly the whole Of southern Italy,
as we'll as a portion of Tuscany and
Venetia. to the north But the district
where serious damage occurred only ex-
tends about 80 miles around Mount Vul-
turer which is an extinct volcano near
the town Of Calitri, in the province OF
Avellino.
This region has suffered much in the
past from earthquakes, and in 1851 500
persons were killed. The number OF
casualties resulting from the earthquake
yesterday has not yet been definitely
ascertained, some of the reports esti-
mating the dead at 30 and the injured
at several hundred. IL is feared
that there are many buried in the
ruins of the houses which were thrown
down IN Calitri, while great damage
was done at other places, which doubt
less caused a considerable loss OF
life.

THE RAILROAD BILL.

A temporary adjustment Of the
threatening railroad rate situation was
reached late yesterday afternoon at a
second conference held at the White
House between President Taft and the
railroad representatives.
The eastern and central railroads,
represented by their presidents, agreed,
it is understood, to file no further in
creases pending the enactment of the
railroad bill. But in view Of the fact
that the president yesterday sent to Con
grass a special message urging an
amendment to the measure rendering
it effective Immediately upon its pas
sage, the ground was taken that no
withdrawal Of the rates proposed by
the roads that have not been enjoined
by the government is necessary, as
they were filed to take effect July l,
and if the bill is itself law at that
time the Interstate commerce commits
sion will have jurisdiction and power
to suspend the rates pending investiga-
ton. Because he wished to have a
provision adopted making the bill take
effect as soon as it is signed, the presl-
dent was anxious to have the bill 60 to
conference. His supporters used every
effort to defeat the attempt of the dem
ocrats and insurgents to secure the
acceptance of the Senate bill by the
House
In conference the amendment urged
by him will be incorporated in the bill,
which, as it stands now. would not be-
come effective unzil 60 days after It's
passage The understanding reached
by the president and the railroad men
today is that if anything should occur
to prevent the passage of the railroad
bill by July l the railroads would file
their increases with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in accordance with
the provisions of the new law.
At the conference it was agreed that
if the amendment recommended in
the message of the president yes
terday to the pending railroad bill
was adopted and if the bill became a
law on or before July /, no agreement
was necessary to bring the rates in
question before the Interstate Com
merce Commission for investigation
and decision before, they became effec-
tive. But it was further agreed that if
the enactment of the railroad law was
deferred, or it should otherwise become
necessary, the railroad companies
would submit the proposed advance in
rates to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in accordance with the provis-
ions of the new law.
The railroads gave no assurances that
they will not raise rates in the compro-
mise effected with President Taft and
the attorney general.

The Senate has passed the BED Cross
bin which was introduced in the House
by Representative DENLY and has been
stanchly advocated by Miss Mabel
Roardman. This bill makes 1t unlaw-
ful for any one falsely to represent
himself as a member or agent OF the
Red Cross or to use the emblem OF the
Red Cross as a trademark or for adyer-
Using purposes unless such persons had
so used the emblem prior to January
;. 1905. The bill provides that the
endowment fund of the Red Cross shall
he kent and invested under the manage
ment and control of a board of nine
trustees. who shall be elected from
time to time by the incOrporators or
their successors, etc. 1t is expected
that this legislation will serve to pre-
vent number of frauds which have
been perpetrated through the unauthor-
lied solicitation of funds for the Red
Cross. and that it WILL further serve to
prevent the continued advertising OF al
sorts of Red Cross articles and nostrum'
which have no right TO the Endorsement
the use of the emblem implies.

This is the 10th anniversary Of the
battle of New Ross, County Wexford,
Ireland, which resulted in the Irish
completely routing the British after be-
ing repulsed by the enemy four times
amid frightful carnage on both Sides
In this battle the Irish were greatly
handicapped by lack of proper arms,
and this made the victory doubly
earned.
In after years much was said and
written about this battle, and perhaps
nothing said of it was more appropriate
than the following lines delivered in a
speech many years afterward, which
follow:
There is no one that has an Irish
drop OF blood in his veins that needs
be ashamed OF the heroes Of '9S. They
fought for six days and with a. very
poor outfit OF war, only which they had
