PLAGUE STRIKES
AzORE ISLANDS
BuboniC Victims Believed to Be
Isolated However

Horta Azores, Sept. 8 P,-There
| have been four cases of bubonic
plague and two deaths from the dis
earthquake, in which it is estimated
1900 houses were destroyed and at
least 25 persons were killed and sew
eral hundred injured.
The governor of the islands, who
also is a physician, told The Asso-
ciated Press" today that the general
sanitary situation was satisfactory
that the two remaining bubonic vic
times had been isolated.
| The government has commander
| ed all food supplies to avoid hoard
ing and profiteering. The people con-
tinue to live outdoors, as there is no
means available for quickly rebuild
ing demolished buildings.
Bursting of water mains has neces-
stated rationing water from the
| limited reservoir. All through the
! island workmen are busily taking
furniture and valuables from the
partly ruined houses preparatory to
blowing them up. The former occu-
pants are assisting in this work or
disconsolately watching for the final
destruction of their homes.
The quake caught the American
consul, Reginald S. Castleman, at his
morning shave. He rushed into the
back garden with his wife and serv-
ant from where he witnessed his own
and adjoining houses swaying and
other houses falling amid clouds of
dust. Proceeding to the consulate he
found that the stairways had fallen
and that the ceilings of two rooms
and one wall had collapsed. AS oc-
cupation Of the Offices would have
been dangerous in view of the re-
peated trcmors the consul evacuated
the building and established his Of
flee on the veranda of his residence
where business was carried on as
usual.
There have been no reports of cas-
/ ualties among the small American
colony. Most of these are natural
lied Portuguese Americans who have
returned to Horta. An American
woman who went through the great
Tokyo quake says the disturbance
here was equally as violent.
The British consul who also is
superintendent of the Eastern Tele-
graph Company has sent dispatch
to the British government saying
that if any assistance was contem-
plated it should be in the nature of
army huts, rather than food or
money as hundreds Of persons We're

required to rebuild their homes.

RI. MILL STRIKE
OFFICIALLY ENDED
GOV. Pothier Effects Settlement
Suitable to All

Manville, r. l., Sept. lPl-Labor
troubles at the Manville-Jenckes
company textile mills here were
ended today, following settlement
effected by Governor Aram ]. Po-
thier in conference with labor lead
ers and mill officials in the state
house at Providence.
Ratification by the workers, now
regarded as mere formality by Ia
Dor leaders, was all that remained
before 1900 operatives returned to
work after three weeks of idleness.
The strike was called August is
in protest over. the employment OF
non-union loom f1xers. Company Oh
flcials yesterday abreed to place the
non-union labor elsewhere in the
plant provided the workers met sew
eral conditions not made public
Strike leaders assured the conference
that the terms were satisfactory and
that the employees would be urged to
accept them.
National guard troops, ordered in
to Manville after 4S hours of riotous
tie proportions between strikers and
police Tuesday night, today were
preparing to withdraw.
Baled cotton and barbed wire
barricades will be removed and ma
chine guns and searchlights mount
ed on the mill will come down as
soon as formal notice Of the strikes
end is received, said Adjutant Gen
eral Arthur C. Cole.
With the ratification vote set 1oI
an early hour, it was believed tna'
some of the mill workers would re-
turn today and. that the plant would
be running full time again by tues
day.

automatically in resumption Of oper-
ations at the company's Nourse ano

Definite PAYMENT
UNDER DAWES Plan
German Finance Minister Signs
New Agreement

Berlin, Sept. Ups. Parker Gill
bert, agent general for reparatlons
with the approval of the reparatlons
commission and the governments
concerned, has signed an agreement
with the German finance minister
DR.. Renhold, ty which Germany
during the third Dawes plan annWt!
year, ending August 81, 1877, oph-
gates herself to pay a lump sum OF
3oo,oOo,O0O gold marks, in lieu OIL
two supplemental contingent oudg-
etary contributions of 23o,oOo'oou
marks. each payable by August 81
1928. and August 81, 1929.
Under the Dawes plan Germany,
besides paying fixed reparations OF
,2oO,00O,OO0 gold marks during the
third annuity year and 15O,OOO,OoO
marks the fourth year, is contingent
" liable to supplemental payments
not exceeding $50, 1000 marks an
nually, provided the aggregate y1elo
of controlled revenues exceeds l.
0oo.0oO,o00 gold marks during 1870
81 and 1.250,000,000 gold marks
during 1929. The experience OF
the second annuity year showed
these contingencies likely Will arlse'
so that the payment by lump sum
of 30O,OO0,000 marks, while some
what in the nature Of speculatlon'
will mean the saving of 200,0oO,OOO
marks.
To Germany's creditors the agree
ment meant not only substitution of
a definite sum for an uncertain con-
tingency, but the payment OF this
sum during the present annuity year
where otherwise contingent sums
are not payable until the next sue
ceeding year. BY the arrangement
funds available for deliveries In
kind during the third annuity year
will be substantially increased. In
explaining the effect of the agree
ment, Mr.. Gilbert says;
1.-The result is an important
change in the arrangement of an
nuities payable under the terms Of
the plan. Without these new ar
rangements the annuities would
have risen from 1893 100000 gold
marks in the third annuity year to
100000 in the fourth and
2,750, 100000 in the fifth year. This
would have meant an increased bur-
den on German economy of 500, 00o,-
900 marks in the fourth year as
compared with the third, end
further heavy increase in the fifth
as compared in the fourth year.
"The new arrangement means
that the third annuity will amount
to 1900, 100000 gold marks as COM
pared with l, 22O,0oo,0o0 during the
second annuity year, while the
fourth annuity will stand at 1,75o,-
100000 and the fifth at 2,500,000,-
coo. The result is a better arrange
ment of annuities, reducing the
danger of undue strain on German
economy and facilitating an even
flow of deliveries payments.
1.-THE agreement as a whole will
contribute substantially to the
smooth operation of the financial
experts plan, and incidentally will
facilitate its administration by elimi-
mating factors of uncertainty that
might otherwise be troublesome.
The settlement is further evidence
of a spirit of friendly accommoda-
ton and new indication of the good
will and mutual understanding "
ing at the basis of the plan itself. :"
