EXPLOSION SHAKES WARDNER Property Valued at 350,000 to 8300, OOO Destroyed A Train at Iturke Seized br a Mob of 8O0 or l.OOO. . Spokane, May 2. A Wardner spe cial to the Spokesman-Review says: Wardner today has been the scene of the worst riots since the ealy labor war of 1892. One man is dead, anothei is thought to be mortally wounded, and property valued at $250,000 has been destoyed by giant powder and fire. The damage was done by union men and sympathizers from Canyon oreek, about 20 miles from Wardner. This morning a mob of from 800 to 1,000 men, all of them armed and many of them masked, seized a train at Burke, at the head of Canyon creek. There were nine box cars and a passen ger coach, and they were blaok with the mob. The visitors brought with them 8,000 pounds of giant powder; After a parley , of two hours, 140 masked men armed with Winchesters, Burke in the lead and Wardner follow ing, started with yells for the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill and other build ings, a third of a mile from the depot. They Bent pickets ahead, and one of these pickets fired a shot as a signal that the mill was abandoned. This was misunderstood by the main body of the mob, who imagined that non-union miners in the mills had opened fire on them, and they began firing on their own pickets. About 1,000 shots were thus exchanged be tween the rioters and their pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the pickets, for merly of British Columbia, and a noted figure in drill contests, was shot dead. The fatal error was discovered after a few seconds' firing and Smith's body brought down from the hillside. By this time the strikers had taken possession of the Bunker Si 111 & Sulli van mill, which they found deserted, the manager having directed his em ployes not to risk their lives by battl ing with the mob. . , v : Powder - was called for,-and 60 50 pound boxes were carried from the depot to the mill. The heaviest oharge was placed among the machinery of the mill. Another charge was placed under the brick office building. Other charges were placed around the mill. Then the boaiding-house, a frame struoture,was fired. Fuses lead ing -to the charges were lighted, and the strikers carrying the dead body of the picket, retired to a safe distance. ' At 2:36 P. M. the first blast went off. It shook the ground for miles, and buildings in Wardner, two miles away, trembled. At intervals of about 30 seconds four other charges went off, the fifth being the largest and com pletely demolishing the mill. The loss to the Banker Hill & Sullivan Company is estimated . from $250,000 to $300,000.v In a few minutes the 'strikers went back to the station, the whistle was blown for stragglers, the mob soon climbed aboard and at 3 o'olock, just three hours after its arrival; the train pulled out for Canyon oreek. ' During the fusillade from the guns of the mob, Jim Chayne, a Bunker Hill & Sullivan millman, was severely shot through the hips. It js reported that he was carried off by the strikers, and his wound is probably fatal. J. J. Rogers, a stenographer in the em ploy of the company, was shot through the lip, but his wound is trivial. GREAT RUSSIAN FAMINE. Harrowing Stories From the Province of Kazan. 'London, April May 2. Letters from the laraine provinces of Russia tell a harrowing tale of distress. In the province of Kazan, the center of the famine district, the Red Cross So ciety alone is feeding 133,000 people. The relief delegate in the province of Ufa reports that peasants ran after him and begged for food on their knees in the snow. The St. Petersburg Skyya Viemomosti, in a vivid description of the misery and disease . prevalent in Kazan, says: "Crime, mortality and the murder of still-born infanta have increased, and now scurvy and typhus are devouring the population like a conflagration fanned by the wind; but this is a case not of houses and barns, but of human lives being destroyed." . The Conference at Manila. Manila, May 2. The conference to day between General Otis and Colonel Mannel Argulezes and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, who came from General Luna under a flag of truce yesterday to ask for a cession of hostilities, was fruit less. It is understood the Filipino commissioners were given the terms upon which the Americans will consent to . negotiate. The Filipinos admit they have been defeated, and it is ex pected ffill return with fresh proposals from General Luna. Dewey Will Boon Return. Washington, May 2. The moment peace is declared in the Philippines Dewey will start for the United States. CAMPAIGN GOES ON. Major Bell and HI Scouts Capture the Town of Alacabebe. Manila, May 8. General MacAr thur has Bent the officers of General Antonio . Luna, the Filipino com mander, under flag of truoe, carrying money and provisions for American prisoners in his hands, and asking an exchange of prisoners, and. the names of suoh as he may have. . It is reported that the insurgents have two officers and. 16 others, and it is supposed that among these are Lieu tenant J. C. Gilmore and nine men of the United States gunboat Yorktown, who fell into the hands of the Filipi nos last month when the gunboat vis ited Baler, on the east coast of Luzon. Major Bell, with a squad of scouts, has captured the town - of Macabebe, about four miles southwest of Calum pit, the people ringing bells andBhout ing "Vivas." The Americans are now employing Macabebes instead of Chi nese, and they are delighted ito get 50 cents a day, declaring their loyalty to Americans. Major-General Lawton is advancing. He has organized a band of 40 scouts to go ahead of the column. The band, which is under William Young, ah old Indian fighter who killed five Filipinos last week, include Diamond, Harring ton, Somerfield and Murphy, of the Second Oregon regiment. New Peace Proposals. Manila, May 8. The peace envoys from Filipino headquarters, who left for General Luna's camp Saturday, re turned today with hew proposals for ending the hostilities and securing peace. ' ' Dewey Day in Manila. Manila, May 8. Everything, fight ing included, was forgotten Monday in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Manila bay. The fleet had a holiday. Admiral Dewey gave a re ception on board the Olympia to his officers, and received many congratula tory cables. The Nevada cavalry is now -in the city, having been brought from Oavite as part of the change In the rearrange ment of troops for additional fighting expected if the Filipinos decide not to surrender unconditionally. - The bridge near where Funston crossed the Rio Grande and routed the rebels is repaired sufficiently for the artillery and baggage trains to cross. The Macabebes . want . to fight with the Americans, and are so anxious to do so that they gave up five Tagal pris oners ready to execute today, when Major Bell and a party of American scouts reaohed the town this after noon. - Dewey Given Great Power. ' Washington, May 3. As a Dewey day present to the admiral at Manila, the navy -department Monday made the first order of the kind on record. It virtually makes Dewey the whole navy department, bo far as the Manila squadron is concerned. He is given absolute power in practically all mat ters without reference to the Washing ton authorities. He can make changes in the personnel of the squadron as he may deem proper; has power to move officers fiom one vessel to another, and detach and order home those he may believe are not required with the fleet. It is also said the commands of the new gunboats captured from Spain, now being overhauled at Hong Kong, will be distributed by Dewey. HEAVY DEFICIT LAST MONTH. Expenditures More and Revenue Less Than Preceding One. New York, May 3. A special to the Herald from Washington'says: Treas ury receipts for April fell $15,400,000 below those for March; while the ex penditures were $22,800,000 more than those for the month previous. This great difference does not, how ever, indioate either a large falling off in the ordinary receipts or a large in crease in the ordinary expenditures. The receipts for March were increased by the payment to . the government of nearly $12,000,000, on account of Pa cific railway settlement, while the ex penditures for April were increased by the drawing of the warrants for the payment of $20,000,000,000 to Spain. Leaving out of account these two items, the receipts for March were only abont $3,000,000 larger than those for April, and the expenditures for the latter month were less than $3,000,000 greater than those for March. -Notwithstanding that the interest pay ments for April were $41,611,687, and the expenditures,- including the pay ment to Spain, were $65,854,000, show ing a deficit for the month of $24,207, 099, and fiom miscellaneous sources, $1,758,541. The defioit for the fiscal year to date amounts to $109,300,288; but the probabilities are that the deficit for the entire year will not be in excess of the estimate of $112,000,000, made by Sec retary Gage in his annual report. " Troops Are Wanted. Spokane, May 8. The special corre spondent of the .Spokesman-Review at Wardner telegraphs that, pending the arrival of troops, the town is in a state of strained suspense. What heightens the anxiety is the general doubt as to when the troops will arrive. In the absence of troops it would be folly to attempt the resumption of woik at the Bunker Hill under nonunion control. Any attempt to do so would assuredly result in a revival of the riota of 1892, MUST KEEP THE PHILIPPINES Their Necessity as a Base for American Trade. THE ONLY GATEWAY TO CHINA Recent Anc;lo-Bnssian Agreement Pur. the Matter In a Mew LI (jilt Talk of Alliance With Japan- Washington, May 8. The necessity or holding the Philippines lias become greater than ever, in view of the Anglo Russian agreement regarding China. If the United States is to have any place in the Eastern trade, it will need an important base like Manila and the rich islands of the Philippine archipel ago. .This is conceded by all officials who have dibcussed the matter. If the United States should be shut out of the China trade, as some En glish journals seem to indicate, it will be a veiy serious setback to a large scheme which has been under contem plation in the United States. It was originated by James J. Hill, of the Gieat Northern railroad, and was for a market in China for an immense amount of surplus cereal products of the United States. The discussion of this particular phase of the subject in Washington indicates that the large market that the United States expects to secure in China wouldK under the concession claims of Russia' and Eng land,. be supplied by the products of Russia and British India. Already there is talk, of closer trade relations with Japan, wh ich, together with the Philippines, and what con cessions we already have in China in ' the way of entrance to treaty ports, will still build up an immense Pacific trade. . , " - " With this new alliance between Eng land and Russia, the necessity for the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and a Pacific cable, under con trol of the United States, beoomes more imperative. With these two promoters of commerce in the hands oi the United States, and the growing Pa oific coast trade, it is believed by .well informed persons here that the United States would still be able to rival all European governments, notwithstand ing the game of grab which has been going on in China. COMMISSIONERS DISAGREE. No Report Yet on the Proposed file- aragua Canals JJJew York, May 8. A special to the Herald from Washington says: On ac count of the difficulty of reaching an unanimous conclusion as to the cost of the proposed waterway, the Nioa rgua canal commission, has not yet sub mitted a report, and it is not expected to do so for some time. When the report is submitted, the president will, appoint the isthmian canal commission, authority for which is given in the river and harbor appro priation bill. Rear-Admiral Walker, and Civil Engineer Haupt are practio ally agreed on the question of cost, but General Haines, the third member, thiqks the estimate of his collergueE too low. When all the figures as to the amount of material to be removed and required in the construction of the canal, with the conditions prevailing, had been received, the three commis sioners reported an agreement on the cost of each feature of the work. Rear Admiral Walker was quite willing to let this sum, with -an addition of 10 per cent for emergencies, stand as the estimate of the construction, but Gen eral Haines thinks the canal will cost , more than the sum estimated by Rear Admiral Walker and Mr. Haupt. When the preliminary of the com mission was submitted, Rear-Admiial Walker and Mr. Haupt estimated $125,000,000,000, but General Haines added a minority report, which, while it approved the route selected by his colleagues, added 20 per cent to the estimate of cost. Payment of Cubans. . Havana, May 8. Governor-General Brooke, proposes to bring the matter of the payment of the Cuban troops to a head immediately. He sent a request to General Maximo Gomez that the latter and the junta of consulting Cu ban generals should come at once to a decision as to whether the Cuban muster-rolls are to stand now as made up or are to be reduced as General Gomez has been expeoting. If he could con sult his own desires, General Brooke would pay $100 per man to such as are entitled to share in the $3,000,000, but if General Gomez continues to vouch for 89,930 troops, payment will be be gun without further delay on. that basis. ' Samoan Rebels Quiet. Apia, Samoa, via Auckland, May 8. The rebels, since advices under date of April 18, have retired from their fortifications at Vaillima, which they demolished, together with other forts along the coast. '. There has been no further serious fighting, although some skirmishing between the rebels and friendly natives has occurred in the vicinity ot Apia. The British armed sloop Torch has arrived -with ammunition from Syd' ney, N. .S. W, . :; ;, , V J.
