death in the forward turret of the bat-

for sailors because of their obscure or­

The Atlantic fleet had been for weeks
engaged in most severe drills in the
waters of the Caribbean sea, culminat­
ing in the quarterly target practice.
This practice was just about conclud­
ing, with most satisfactory results up
(o Friday, and it was confidently ex­
pected at the department, upon the
basis of preliminary reports received,
that all records would be broken in the
matter of rapidity of fire and efficiency
of the gunners.
But today came a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans,
commanding the Atlantic fleet, telling
of a dreadful accident on one of his
best sbip9, the Kearsarge.
The news
came from Caimanera, a little cable
station at the mouth of Guantinamo
bay, indicating that the Kearsarge
itself liad arrived at that place.
The
message read as follows:
“ Caimanera, April 16. — Secretary
Navy, Washington:
On April 13,
about 3:16 p. m., shortly after comple­
tion of target practice of the Kearsarge
forward turret, while the powder was
going below, three sections of a 13-incb
charge of powder were ignited. The

Doubts—Amendments Will Be

Washington, April 14. — The bouse
committee on rivers and harbors today
voted unanimously to favorably report
the bill appropriating $400,000 for con­
tinuing the construction of the jetty at
the mouth of the Columbia river, Rep­
resentative Joues was directed to make
the report.
This action was taken after Majrr
Langfitt had submitted to the commit­
tee his charts and drawings explained
in these dispatches yesterday. The
showing made was so strong a& to con­
vince every member of the committee
of the advisability of immediatly mak­
ing this appropriation. The committee
reported the Jones bill, which is iden­
tical in every respect with Senator
Fulton’ s bill that passed the senate
several weeks ago, because several
members believed appropriation bills
should originate in the honse. Once
the house pastes the Jones bill, the
senate w ill readily pass it, inasmuch as
it is identical with the Fulton bill pre­
viously passed by that body.
There is every reason to believe this
bill will soon pass the house. The re­
port w ill be printed immediately, and
some time today Mr. Fulton and
Mr. Jones will call on the speaker to
get him to agree to let the bill be
called up for consideration and vote.
Mr. Jones believes be w ill be allowed
to call the bill up under suspension of
the rules on Monday. I f he can do this
he will successfully shut off all amend­
ments and probably secure prompt
passage of the bill. I f the bill is not
brought up Monday, Mr. Jones will
ask unanimous consent for its consider­
ation at an early date. In that event
the bill w ill not be subject to amend­
ments.

Great Britain, France and Russia Unite
Against Germany.
8t. Petersburg, JApril 14. — Great
Britain haB begun vigorously to press
negotiations for an Anglo-Rnssian en­
tente, with the purpose of completing
the triple alliance of Great Britain,
France and Russia against Germany,
which has long been the aim of British
policy.
The development at the Alge-
ciras conference, where Great Britain,
France and Russia acted in unison, and
the participation of English bankers in
the big Russian loan furnish a practi­
cal and favorable moment, and Great
Britain is striking while the iron is
hot.
Besides, the British government has
recently given Russia proof of her de­
sire to settle outstanding difficulties by
inducing English bankers not to take
the Persian loan, on the ground that
it might be regarded as prejudicial to
Russian interests.
LAV A C O O L S AND ASH ES F A LL.
Naples Recovers From Panic and is
Cheered by King and Queen.
Naples, April 13. — Frequent deton­
ations are still heard on Mount Vesu­
vius, but faintly. The main crater is
gradually enlarging.
Th* most con­
soling news is that the lava is cooling
on all sides.
Ashes are falling everywhere, house*
are collapsing and burying their occu­
pants. Roads near the volcano are no
sooner opened than they are closed
again. The heaviest fall is now over
8omme, Banta Anastasia, Ponticelli
and other villages in a section opposite
and distant from the city.
The people have recovered from the
panic of yesterday, are less sullen and
downhearted. It is largely due to the
presence of the king and queen. They
are mingling freely with the populace,
doing everything in their power to alle­
viate the condition of the injured and
mingling their tears with those who
have lost friends or relatives.
The inhabitants of this city are en­
during the yellow gray atmosphere of
yesterday, which is even more oppres­
sive than before. The popular costume
of those who can afford it consists of an
automobile coat, cap and goggles, which
enables the wearer to maintain a semb­
lance of cleanliness, but the people
generally have to be contented with
paper masks and raised umbrellas. The
drivers of trolley cars are _ wearing
masks of some transparent ‘material
under the visors of their caps. More
shops were opened today and the city
is slowly resuming its normal Ijfe-

it is impossible to determine the ex­
act number of buildings demolished at
Torre Annuniiata. It is estimated that
about 5,000 houses in all have been
partly or entirely destroyed.
In villages on the Ottajano side of
the mountain all the houses are dam­
aged.
A t Nola desolation reigns, the
place having been almost entirely
abandoned.
A committee has been formed to col­
lect funds and organise assistance for
sufferers.
It is presided over by the
Duke of Aosta. The government beads
the subscription list with $100,000.
The amount collected up to the present
time is $300,000.
Firemen have been sent from Paler­
mo, Sicily, and other places to the vil;
lagee in this vicinity which have suf­
fered the most from the fall of ashes,
to assist in removing the ashes from
the roofs and .relieve the exhausted
soldiers.
Camp kitchens have been established
and free meals are being served.

Eastern Roads Admit They Have an
Agreement as to Rates.
Philadelphia, April 13.— That rates
are fixed by the Traffic association com­
posed of various coal carrying roads was
the admission drawn from railroad offi­
cials at the final hearing o* the Inter­
state Commerce commission investiga­
tion into the affairs and abn-es of the
coal trade. Through Joseph G. 8ear!es,
coal traffic manager of the Pennsylva­
nia railroad company, who is also
chairman of the Ad-Kail Traffic asso­
ciation, it was learned that this organi­
zation not only fixes the percentage of
tonnage alloted to each read, but also
establishes the rates.
Counsel for the commission produced
the minutes oi the meeting of the Tide­
water Bituminus Steam Coal Traffic as­
sociation, held on September 19, 1900.
The records showed that a resolution
offered by the Norfolk A Western com­
pany permitting that company and the
Chesapeake A Ohio railroad to carry
tidewater coal at the rate of $1.25 a ton
was voted down and that the rvate was
fixed at $1.40 a ton. Mr. Searles ad­
mitted that there had been an agree­
ment as to the tonnage to be allowed
each road, and that, if one road ship­
ped more and another less, a rettlement
was made.
He adds that there had
been no settlement since 1896.
Mr.
Hearles denied tbat there was an under­
standing to maintain rates between all
rail and all water associations for the
purpose of preventing competition.

nrging the kaiser’s government to sta­
tion a special diplomatic representa­
tive in Rio Janeiro during the Pan-

of watching, and, if possible, thwarting
“ North American intrigues.”
It is

arranging to play one Latin republie
against another at the conference for
selfish purposes.
