VIATKA IN GENERAL REVOLT.
Peasants Resist Army Enrollment, Kill
and Disarm' Police.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 28. Grave
agrarian disorders have broken out in
tho province of Viatka, tho center of
the disturbance being tho important
district of Malmttlsh, with a popula
tion of ovor 100,000, whoro tho inhab
itants of more or leea villages havo
joined in the uprising havo disarmed
and expelled the police and aro pillag
ing and destroying the residences of tho
landowners and devastating tho coun
try. It is rumored at Viatka that tho
administrative police chiefs in the
Malmulsh district and eight of thoir
subordinates have been killed.
The excesses began September 20,
with a riot over the enrollment of army
reserve men for the automobile aeivlce.
At the village of Mttlnaini a body of
peasants attacked tho enrollment sta
tion, killed a sergeant and six rural po
licemen, mortally wounded the assist
ant police chief of the district and de
stroyed the list of reserve men.
' The Viborg manifesto Is thought to
he more directly responsible for the
disorders than anything elre. It had a
wide circulation in Viatka province,
and Its exhortation to the peasants In
refuse to do military service wai spread
by tho membera of the outlawed parlia
ment from Viatka.
Make Final Effort.
Havana, Sept. 28. The Modeiate
party last night decided to make a final
effort to perpetuate the authority of
the Palma administration by deter
mining to reject tho resignation of the
president when presented to congress
today When this decision was reach
ed, Secretary of War Taft and Assist
ant Secretary of State Bacon, tho Amer
ican commissioners, had already con
cluded to intervene, hut they agreed to
await tcday'a developments, as they
are anxioua to afford the Cubans evuiy
opportunity to work out thoir own sal
vation. Salt Trust Raises Price,
New York, Sept. 28. Tho Interna
tional Salt company yesterday raised
its prices on all grades of ealt approxi
mately GO cents per ton. This la said
to be the third raise within a period of
three months. Tho reasons given are
that the shutting down of two of the
largeHt producing plants in the Utica
district haa caused a shortage in the
eupply. that the demand is unprece
dented large and that much difficulty
has been experienced recently in se
curing cars in which to transport the
product.

to 110,000,000.
SCARES MODERATES
They Fear Uncle Sam May Give
Jobs to Liberals,
FORCES CUBANS TO NEGOTIATE
Rebels and Government Will Treat
With Each Other Marines
Needed Anyway.
Havana, Sept. 27. -The government
party laat night abandoned ita basic
contention that it ia impossible to treat
for peaco witli armed rebels, and pro
posed to negotiate directly with a com
mltteo of ita opponents. It agreed to
leave all points upon which under
standing Is not reached to tho final ar
bitration of Secretaries Taft and Bacon.
The government first suggested that it
would treat with tbo Liberals if thoy
would lay down their arms, but tho
Amorlcan commissioners ruled that
this stipulation waa unfair and the
Moderate representatives hold thia
vlow.
It ia beyond question that both par
tloa were brought to a more tractable
frame of mind by tho verbal ultima
tum Issued by Messrs. Taft and Bacon
yesterday in tho namo of Prosidont
RooBovolt, that, unless thoy consent to
a fair arbitration, tho United States
must t'ompol tho Bamo by n temporary
military occupation. Such occupation,
it was declare,!, would not mean Amor
lcan sovereignty. It would continue
only until now elections -had been held,
tho government firmly established and
ordor restored.
Whatovor tho outcomo of tho negoti
ations between the Liberals nnd Mod
erates may be, It is felt here that thoro
will bo need for nil tho American ma
rines within reach, as thero la little
confidence in tho ability of the rebel
leadera to control their men when or
dered to give up thoir arms and returu
to their homes.
It is tactltly understood by the com
mittees of tho two parties that, unless
an agreement la reached this week,
armed American intervention will en
sue. The Moderates declare that the
appointment of a committee to negoti
ate with the Liberala doea not mean
the conceding of new elections. Tho
general disposition to get togother ia
stronger.
NOMINATED IN NEW YORK.
Hearst for Democrats and Hughes for
Republicans Will Lead Fight.
New York, Sept. 27. lly nominat
ing Charles K. Hughes, of New York
city, (or governor, tho Republican state
convention turned down tho old leaders
and recognized tho now ones, headed
by Herbert Parsons, chairman of the
county committee of New York county.
It also bowed to tho judgmont of Pres
ident Roosoveit as to the strongest ran
dldate to nominate, and accepted the
preference of Governor Hlggins. By
electing Timothy L. Woodruff for state
chahman it finally retired "Boss"
Odell, placated Senator Piatt and at
the same time recognized the ability of
a man who is a strong political force
irrespectlvo of his affiliation with any
of the old bosses.
Tho control of new leadera waa furth
er emphasized by the absence of Sena
tors Piatt and Depew, who have not
missed a state convention in many
years. The old leaders, however, wero
pacified by the renoinination of all the
state officers excopt that Lewia was
namoJ for controller in place of Otto
Keleey.
Buffalo, Sept. 27. William It
Hearat, backed by "Bobs" Murphy, of
Tammany Hall, hue been nominated
for governor by tho Democratic state
convention. Tho platform extends fe
licitations to William Jennings Bryan
without eaying anything about the
presidency. With Hearst two cf the
other candidates of the Independence
league nominated for state offices eat
lier In thia month thobe of lieutenant
governor and secretary of state were
nomiated by the democrats.
Wreck Police Chief's House.
Helsingfore, Finland, Sept. 27. A
Becond bomb was thrown during the
night against the residence of Captain
Albrecht, commander ot the police, fol
lowing the unsuccessful attempt made
early yesterday morning to blow up the
pollen reserve barracks. The captain's
house was wrecked, but there was nn
loss of life. It is thought that the
perpetrators of the outrage were actuat
ed by a spirit of revenge for the recent
arrests of the Finnish refugees in
Stockholm, in which the Finnish police
co-operated.
Honors for Japanese Heroes.
London, Sept. 27. Telegraphing
from Tnkin, thu correspondent of the
Daily Telegram fays that, in connection
with war honors, Marquis Ito and
Field Marshals Yamagata and Oyama
tiavd been created princes and Vice Ad
mi ra. Togo a marquis,
PALMA QUITS JOB.
Will Thus Force Intervention by tho
United States.
Havana, Sept. 20. Tho Cuban re
public stands on the vorgo of a Becond
period of American intervention. Tho
Moderate party, which sir woeka og9
waa in control of every offico fn tho Is
land, national, provincial and munici
pal, ia determined to abdicate every
thing and compel the United States to
Intervene. In fact, every government
officinl from President Palma down is
sincerely anxioua to forco bucIi inter
vention rather than yiold to any one of
tho terms offered by tho Liberal party
and those iz arma against tho govern
ment. The Liberal loadora characterize the
conduct ot the government as treason to
tho republic, while Secretary of War
Taft regards it as an unwarranted and
dishonorable attempt to forco the hand
of tho United Statea into intervention.
Thia, it haa boen Btated, ia precisely
what President Roosevelt has been moat
anxioua to avoid.
Senor Palma haa called a special ses
sion of congress for Friday, when he
will present the resignation of himself
and Vice President Mendez Capote.
The Moderates, howevor, will not at
tend that session of congress, for in
their hurriedly called National Mod
erate assembly yesterday afternoon
they decided unanimously simply to
quit forthwith. They will not even at
tend tho approaching session or have
anything moro to do with tho govern
ment ot Cuba, alleging that thoy have
boon unjustly treated by Mr. Roose
velt's commissioners.
FOREIGN IMPORTS EXEMPT.
Moody's Opinion on Meat Inspection
New Ruins for Exports.
Washington, Sept. 20. A decision
has been reached by tho department of
JtiBtico that the meat Inspection law
recently enacted by congress doea not
apply to foreign products shipped into
thia country. Thia opinion waa pre
pared sovoral daya ago and submitted
to Attorney General Moody. Ho con
curred, it ia understood, in tho opinion
prepared by the department.
The acting secretary of commerce and
labor today promulgated certain rules
regarding the exportation of meats and
meat producta, prescribing the manner
of Inspecting carcasses and the issuance
of certificates, labels, etc.
The rules require that both the orig
inal and duplicate certificate shall be
dolivored to tho exporter, who shall
fllo the original with tho customs offi
cer and tho duplicate with the con
signee, to bo ined by tho latter in iden
tifying tho shipment at tho point of
destination by comparison with the
original.
Clearance ia to bo denied to any ves
sel carrying meat producta for exporta
tion whoro regulations havo not been
strictly complied with. Tho rules will
go Into effect on October 1.
CAUSE SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Railroads Refute Cars and Boost the
Prko to Consumers.
Salt Lake, Sept. 20. That tbe rail
roads aro to blame for tho high price
and periodical vhortago of coal in Salt
Lake waa the conclusion to be drawn
from the testimony presented before
Oharleo A. Prouty, of the Interstate
Commerce commission todav. The in
quiry waa adjourned until Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock when it will bn
ro'timoil in Denver. Mark Hopkins,
who opened two coal mines at Cumber
laud, Wyo,, was sworn an an expert
today. Ho ia d that coal could he
placed In care at Wyoming and Utah
mines for f 1 a ton and allow a reason
able profit. Tho present price on board
cars la 2 a ton. Salt Lke dealera pay
f 3 75 for tho coal laid down and the
consumer pays $5.25 a ton.
P. J. Quealy, manager of the Kern
meror, Wyoming, coal company, and
Thomas Sneddon, superintendent of
the Dianiondville mines, admitted that
their output could be Increased to pre
vent the, annual winter ehortages, hut
said that the railroads did not furnish
cars to carry a larger product.
An attempt was made to show that
tho Union Paeifio railway carries sup
plies for Its minea at a lower rate than
that quoted to independent operators,
but this waa not substantiated by di
rect testimony.
Army Is Ready.
Oyster Bay, Sept. 20. Plans for the
transfer of troops from the United
States to Cuba in event of the failure
of Secretary Taft'a mission to bring
about a peaceful solution of the trouble
in the island republic have been com
pleted. The final step was taken to
day, according to an announcement
made here tonight, when the transport
Sumner, now lying at the New York
navy yard, waa put in commission.
Negotiations are already under way for
the acquisition of merchant steamers to
be used as transports.

Washington, Sent. 26, The secre
tary of tbe interior today withdrew
