no report o f loss o f life on the island.
No word has been received from the
settlements on the mainland at the
foot o f Katmai volcano, where the
greatest suffering exists, if any o f the
people o f that section survived the
eruption.
Captain Kireland W. Perry, o f the
Manning, reported no more eruptions
have occurred and the air is slowly
clearing o f the smoke and ash, the re
turning light revealing in greater de
gree the real horror and devastation
wrought by the outburst o f the Aery
mountains.
The refugees who were aboard the
Manning have regained a certain
amount o f conAdence with the return
o f normal conditions in the air and are
leaving the ship to endeavor to reach
their former homes, which lie in
ruins. The people on the island have
found it difficult to make their way
about, the ash in some places being
from 20 to 30 feet deep.
Nearly all

o f the Ane silt which drifted through

stores o f food and clothing.
The wharf at Kadiak, at which the
Manning has been lying, was kept
reasonably clear o f ash by constant
playing o f the cutter’s Are hose. Only
a small place was cleared and the
roads are virtually impassable.
The problem o f feeding the desti

Efforts
are being made to reach the govern
ment experimental farm near Kadiak,
which was stocked with a large herd
o f imported cattle and sheep, which,
if found in At condition, w ill be used
for food.
The only water the people at Ka
diak are using is that distilled from
sea water by the Manning, all other
supplies being useless because o f pol
lution.
A t the Ashing stations o f Karluk,
Chignik and Naknek, no loss o f life
occurred, but great damage was done
by the fall o f ashes.
Preparations
were made at the Ashing stations to
take all on board the cannery tenders
and seek safety at sea, but the people
have decided to stay near their prop
erties as long as conditions are en
durable.
It is feared that the Ashing season
at all stations affected by the ash will
be a complete failure because o f the
polluted water, large quantities o f
pure water being necessary to prepare
the salmon for canning.
Total darkness covered the entire
section about the canneries, which are
on the Bhore o f Sbelikoff strait, for 40
hours.
CUBAN T A S K D IFFICU LT.
Naval Forces Prepare to Remain In
Island Many Weeks.
Washington. D. C.— Naval officers
are of the opinion that their task of
policing eastern Cuba will be a long
one, for orders show that colliers are
being made ready to carry supplies to
the vessels in Cuban waters sufficient
to meet their needs for weeks.
The collier Hector is scheduled to
leave Hampton Roads for Key West,
and probably will proceed from there
to Guantanamo. The collier Celtic is
under orders to leave Boston within a
fortnight, and her cruise also in all
probability will end at Guantanamo.
The commander o f the gunboat Pa
ducah reports great uneasiness in San
tiago and vicinity. Reports also came
o f ominous movements o f the insur
rectos and o f appeals for help from
plantation owners.
From one source came a rumor that
Cuba itself had fostered the insurrec
tion for certain political purposes, but
that the movement had gone beyond
its control.
The State department
knows nothing to conArm this rumor.
.There was talk at the War depart
ment o f sending some army officer to
Cuba to make an impartial investiga
tion o f conditions there and if possi
ble to act as an intermediary in re
storing peace between the factions.
It is the common belief that if in
the end intervention in Cuba is a nec
essity, there must
be sweeping
changes in the organic law o f the re
public to guard against the recurrence
o f conditions that have made the pres
ent insurrection possible.
RATE REDUCTION ORDERED.
Medford Merchant* Win Contention
With Southern Pacific.
Washington, D. C.— The Interstate
Commerce commission has ordered a
reduction o f from I I to 12 cents a
hundred pounds in class rates one to
four, inclusive, on traffic over the
Southern Pacific from Medford, Or.,
to Hornbrook, Klamath, Ager, Mon
tague, Gazelle, Edgewood, Weed, Sis
son and Dunsmuir, Cal.
This reduc
tion is based on the showing o f Med
ford merchants that existing class
rates complained o f are materially
higher than class rates over the same
road and for similar distances in Cali
fornia.
Figures were produced to show that
the Southern Pacific maintains two
classes o f rates, one on each Bide of

there was little difference between the

Baker, Or.— The rains, which have
been the heaviest known in this part
o f the country, have caused much
damage. In the Snake river region
there have been more waterspouts
than have ever been known.
The
Connor creek and the Fox creek
bridges were washed out, and dams
on the Baache and Baker ranches de
stroyed.
The Northwestern railroad is tied
up for an indefinite time because dirt
several feet deep has been washed on
the tracks for several miles.
The injury to the farmers will
amount to high in the thousands.
The outbuildings o f the Winslow and
Flick ranches in the Connor creek dis
trict have been awept away and crops
destroyed. Near Durkee the water has
destroyed many thousands o f dollars’
worth o f crops.
The roads in the
Buynt river district are almost impas

flat on the ground.
Lumbering has been abandoned in
the Muddy creek district because o f
the roada. The crops in this and the
Haines district are not advanced far
enough'to be damaged.
