 From the seat of war come brief dispatches of minor encounter in which government troops appear to have been successful in dispersing various insurgent bands and in talk ing some prisoners.

IL is rumored that General Estoneg, the insurgent leader, has been badly wounded
 General Mario Menocal sent mes sage to the president that he was ready to raise a brigade of 5000 men at his own expense and lead them against the rebels under the direction of General Monteagudo. The offer was accepted.

ALASKAN VOLCANOES
 ARE IN ERUPTION
sLuMsERlNG FIRES OF ALEU- THAN MOUNTAINS HAVE SUD-
 DENLY COME TO LIFE.

Seattle. Wash. June s-Three slumbering volcanoes in tie Aleutian mountain range of Alaska suddenly have come to life and are throwing out great quantities of smoke and hot ashes The awakened peaks are Iiimna and Redout in the Cook Inlet 'c0untfys and Katmai, 'which oyeFio0Es Shelikof Strait. It is likely that Bog Cstof, Shishaldin and Pavloff, which are active volcanoes, and much fur ther west, are also spouting flames.
 Dispatches from the north say that the volcanoes are emitting lava and rocks. but the discharge from the Alaska craters usually is only ashes and smoke. and it is hoped there will be no loss of life Apparently Kodiak and its neighboring islands have been covered by ashes.
 Since the change of climate III Alaska, cattle, sheep and hogs have been able to feed outdoors on Kodiak island throughout the year. Tie volcanic ashes, if they fell on the is land Is inches deep, as they did on the decks of the steamship Dora, must have destroyed the grass, which however, will grow again on the ash- es.
 Mount Ilmina is more than l2,O0V feet high and the red sky above its blazing crater is visible seaward for 100 miles distant
 The effort of the mountains to clear the debris from the clogged craters, caused conyulsions which were recorded in Washington and Seattle and elsewhere. After tho lchimneys were opened the needles II the ubseryatories were no longer agi- tated

RUTHvEN ARRESTED.
Railway Signal Promoter Comes to
 Grief at New Orleans.

New Orleans, June Son receipt of a telegram from Cincinnati to- day announcing the arrest of Arthur l.. Ruthven, president of the Ruth ven Railway Signal company, United States District Attorney Charleton R. Beatty made public an indictment returned by the federal grand jury here this week, charging Ruthyen with using the mails for fraudulent purposes.
 Government officials say that Ruth ven and his associates secured prob ably a million dollars through the sale of stock in this company. The concern operated extensively in Cleveland Cincinnati, Memphis, Att lanta and other large cities. It is said the promoters cleaned up about s10,000 in New Orleans in January and secured notes from investors for much larger amount.
 Ruthven claimed to be the inven- tor of the "Ruthven railway signai. device which it was claimed would prevent wreeks.
 The postoffice inspectors brought several witnesses to ew Orleans from other cities to appear before tho grand jury.

 This contention was denied by the Taft delegates Their negro attorneys furnished, however. but part of the argument in the cases The Taft forces, led by Henry L, Johnson, a negro attorney of Atlanta, whose ar sumenF was frequently applauded by the committee members, characteriz- cd the Roosevelt contests in Georgia as "after thoughts and declared there had been no question in Georgia as to the interpretation of the state law until after the advent of a stranger from the north" who reach ed the state about April Is. He did not name the stranger" but the committee laughed as if they though. they guessed his identity
 After the Arkansas cases had been decided Committeeman Lowden of Illinois, insinuated laughingly that General Powell Clayton. the veteran leader of the Arkansas delegation at large, had himself instigated the con tests against his faction.
 From Florida in the cases of the delegation at large and of the first district came two contesting delegav tions, each regarded as pro Roose- welt and each hostile to the other as well as to the Taft delegates.
 some interesting sideiights were thrown on the Republican situation in the south by todays testimony and in spite of the intensity of feeling be- tween the factions, the committee was several times in roars of laughter over the recital of amusing episodes, without much regard to their faction al sympathles. Some of the hottest of the contests were from districts where white Republican voters are scarce.
