Only Water Fit for Use Is Distilled By Revenue Cutter Manning— Natives Panic-Stricken. Cordova, Alaska — Wireless mes­ sages received from the revenue cut­ ter Manning, in Kadiak harbor, and from the Alaska Packers' association Ashing stations at Karluk, Chignik and Naknek, said that there has been 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 the houses are in ruins and those that withstood the attack o f the hail o f ash and stones are uninhabitable because o f the Ane silt which drifted through every crevice, making useless the 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 tute people is a serious one. 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 the Oregon-California line. The road contended that the higher rates in Oregon were justified by the mountain grades, but the commission found there was little difference between the grades o f Southern Oregon and North­ ern California. The new rates w ill go into effect July 16. HOUSE FAVORS BORAH BILL. Irrigation Committee Urges Home­ stead Measure Be Passed.

DON’T TAKE A SUBSTITUTE FOR W.LDi Mexican Insurrectos Would Vio­ late Neutrality Laws. Leader Saya Mexican Consul la Re­ cruiting Troope on American Side—Government Denies. El Paso, Tex.— Mexican insurrectos would not hesitate to fire into Am eri­ can territory from Juarez if any troops recruited by the Mexican fed­ eral government on American terri­ tory attempted to cross the Rio Grande here. Colonel Pascual Orozco, Sr., father o f the rebel chie^and head o f the Juarez garrison, in this way re­ plied to the demand o f Colonel Steev- er, commander o f the department of Texas, that no rifle shots or bombs or shells must cross into the United States from Juarez at any time. Colonel Pascual Orozco Baid that while he would direct his men to avoid as far as possible firing into El Paso in case o f fighting, yet if any men re­ cruited, as he alleges, in El Paso by E. C. Lorente, the Mexican consul here, composed the attacking . force, he would feel justified in giving his men no instructions. The Mexican government officials deny that any force has been enlisted by them on American soil. The arrest o f General Campa, who is one o f the few rebels, it is said, whose aim is to help the poorer classes, is believed to have placed General Orozco in jeopardy with his troops.

Northwestern Railroad la Tied for Long Time, Pry M u r in e Up 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 sable and the alfalfa has been beaten 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. Kalter Don't Appreciate Joke.
