Chicago, April 10. — Western men are to have a long leeway allowance in the selection of capable engineers and contractors for the work of the Panama canal. Not that there is going to be a sectional discrimination in selecting the subordinates who serve under the new canal commission, but, as Chair man T. P.

Santo Domingo, April 6 .— The Bel gian creditors of Santo Domingo have presented a proposition to President Morales and American Minister Daw son for the monthly payment of $25,000 to the Belgians, intimating that then they would favor the debt arrangement being concluded.

Twelve Members Arrested and Placed in Dungeon—Chance Leads to Discovery o f Explosive. St. Petersburg, April 6 .— A t last the' terrorists have succeeded in penetrating the cordon of guards about the czar, and in smuggling high explosives into the palace itself, and as a result there is a feeling of apprehension among all of the high officials and the guards about his majesty have lx>en trebled., Late yesterday afternoon, as the guard at the palace was being changed, Lieutenant Colonel Shiraupsky, who was in command, noticed that one o f the Cossacks who had been posted at the main door was wearing the sword of an infantry officer, and not the sabre of a Cossack. He thereupon called a corporal and placed the man under ar- , rest. He was at once searched and in-v criminating documents were found on ins person. Search of the palace revealed two packages of dynamite, placed against the main door of the imperial suite, in a dark corner where they were not likely to be noticed. A searching inquiry was at once in stituted, with the result that 12 secret police agents were arrested as accom plice, and all were hurried to the Peter and Paul fortress, where they were interviewed by General Trepoff. The fact that the terrorists have suc ceeded in corrupting members of the secret police and soldiers has caused much aiarm, and another attempt against a high official is looked for. DEAD BY T H O U S A N D S . Whole Towns Destroyed by Recent Indian Earthquake. Calcutta, April 10. — Telegraphic commnnication with Dbarmsala has been restored. The latest accounts show that the earthquake was even more disastrous than at first believed. Of a total population of nearly 5,000 in the town of Kangra, it is lie'iieved that only 500 are left alive. Many of these have fled. Of the police only a deputy inspector and four sergeants are alive. Many people are still imprisoned in the ruins- Dbarmsala, Kangra, Palanpur, Dba- wan and all of the neighboring villages were completely wrecked. Scarcely a building remains standing. Not much damage was done at Haripnr, Deragopi- pur, Nadanra or Hamirpur. Suyanpnr, having a population of about 8,000 souls, is reported to be in ruins. The shocks still continue. There is no news from Kulu valley. According to native rumors, a great amount of damage has been done. An official dis patch from Dharmsala says the place is a scene of desolation. Owing to the scarcity of labor, great difficulty is ex perienced in excavating the ruins, but the Goorkhas are doing excellent work. Should Agree on Life-Saving. Washington, April 8 . — The British ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand, called upon Acting Secretary of State Loomis today to urge a reciprocal ar rangement between America and Great Britain respecting the equipment of ocean going steam vessels with life sav ing devices.
