ON A ROCK IN
WASTE Of LAVA
Thirty-three Starving Japanese
Refugees Are Found.
RESCUED BY NAVAL CREW.
They Hid In Cave During the
Eruption and Afterwards Climbed
On the Rock and Sought To
Attract Attention.

Kagoshima, Japan. - Telegraphic
communication between this city and
the north has been restored. The off
GERS of the cruiser squadron sent by
the japanese government have taken
charge of the situation and are rapidly
restoring a semblance of order along
the waterfront. Many of the people
of Kagoshima have returned to the
city. All their houses are in ruins and
the returning refugees are compelled
to camp in the open spaces. The war
ships brought large stock of food
and supplies, which are being freely
dispensed.
The property loss in this city is i'm
mense. The clearing away of ashes
and debris has not gone far enough to
allow even an approximate estimate Of
the loss of human life.
A group of SO refugees was rescued
from amid a great waste of steaming
lava at the foot of the volcano of
Sakurajima. Their escape was little
short of miraculous; with their rescue
no living being remains, so far as
known, on the entire island of Sakura.
The rescue was effected by a boats
crew from the Japanese flagship. AS
soon as the cruiser squadron arrived
here crews were sent out to circle the
island of Sakura, on which the vol
cano is situated, three miles out in
the bay. The contour of the island
has been entirely altered during the
last week.
The sailors did not risk landing on
account of the terrific heat and
noxious gases, but made a systematic
scrutiny along shore The entire is
and hot lava.
All was desolation and no sign of
human beings was seen until late in the
day, when an officer in one of the
launches noticed something being
waved in the air at a short distance
heavily bundled to protect them from
the heat, was landed. After a hard
struggle they succeeded in making
their way through soft warm ashes
breast high until they reached a great
rock. Sheltered behind this rock they
found SO people, still living, but coated
with thick dust and weakened by star
walton and thirst. Among the rescued
was a school master who had borne
with him from his school house the
portrait of the Emperor; the village po-
liceman, who had saved the records of
the station house and the postal clerk,
with a small bag of mail.
The refugees were taken on board a
warship and provided with food and
drink. They explained that they had
hidden in great cave near the shore
until the rain Of ashes was over and
had then tried hour after hour to at,
tract attention.

Mr.. AItfeid's Progressive Bills.

Delegate E. Milton Altfeld, of the
city delegation, has in preparation two
bills which are in line with progress
sive legislation in other States. The
first bill provides that children, when
able to do so, shall be compelled to
take care of their destitute parents,
thus saving the State the expense of
their care. The second bill will so
amond the law as to increase the age
at which girls in Maryland may marry
to 16 years. Maryland and Louisiana
are the only two States in the Union
in which the legal marriageable age
is IL years.

GEN. HUERTA MAY
LEAD HIS ARMY
Reported to Be Preparing to
Quit the Capital.
REALIZES IMPENDING DANGER
Particularly Mentions General Mer-
cado, Who Fled From ojinaga,
Leaving That City To General
Villas Rebel Force.

Mexico City-Relatives of the dicta-
tor admit that Huerta is getting ready
TO go away and said the report was
that he intended to take charge of the
federal troops in the north and at
tempt to regain Chihuahua City, now
in the hands of the rebels.
In an interview, Huerta intimated
that he would take the field personally
against the constitutionalists In his
conversation with Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, American charge d'affaires, at
General Joaquin Mas funeral Huerta
complained bitterly against some of his
generals, who, he said, were inefficient
and open to suspicion of disloyalty.
He particularly mentioned General
Mercado, who fled from Ojinaga, leav-
ing that city to General Pancho Villas
rebels.
Mercado who was sentenced to be
shot by Minister of War Banquet, was
accused of being traitor and of refus-
ing to fight, accepting brides instead
to escort wealthy Mexicans to the
American border
When it was rumored that Huerta
was preparing to leave the capital
many curious persons watched his
movements as far as possible. There
have before been circumstantial re-
ports that Huerta was about to go
away, but nothing came of them. Also
it was remembered that every Mexi-
can ruler who has reached the end of
his rope has left the country by way
of Vera Cruz or lost his life in attempt
ing to leave. Huerta, though is es-
sentially fighting man. He has talk
ed all the time of it being his duty to
pacify his country. 1t would cause
little surprise among the Mexicans and
foreigners if he does take the field at
the army's head.
