Tho authorities have been compelled to resort, again to sternly repressive measures to pre serve the peace, and the jails are filled with prisoners. Tho people of tho city have not yet given up hope of American In terference. Sympathizers with the revolution believe that a victory by the insurgents in tho bnttlo being fought today may have weight with tho American government looking to ward a recognltlo nof the provisional government, which has been sought by Estrada.

The heating and lighting plants of the Dieu and the Boucicault hospitals were destroyed when the waters entered the base ntonts tonight, and the surgeons of tho two institutions performed oper ations by lamp light. The bitter cola was overcome only by burning cotton wadding saturated in alcohol, in metal buckets in. the operating rooms. At Ivry Home for the aged, It was announced tonight that only enough supplies were on hand to provide food for the 2000 Inmates upon the lightest possible rations. The inmates of the home cannot be removed on account of the swift current of water that is sweeping around the homo like a mountain tor rent. The officials of the home fear that many of the feeble old people will dlo from lack of proper food and warmth, unless some means of pro vidlng aid for the Institution found. And that seems unlikely at present. , The doctors in the hospitals and the keepers in the various homes are doing heroic work. Hundreds of them have not taken off their clothes since Sunday. o STAR WITNESS ORDERED TO PAY WIFE ALIMONEY TRYING TO TEAR HOLES Last Witness for the Prosecu tion in the Hermann Case on Stand.

Glavls, former chief of tho local field division of tho United States land offico, who is now appearing as a witness In tho Bal-Hnger-Pinchot concresslonnl Investi gation at Washington, Is ordered to pay $50 per month temporary ali mony to his wife, Mrs. Mnud E.

Tho allegations upon which tho decree of dlvorco Is asked aro not upon thlt public records, tho com plaint In tho case, which was begun last Octobor, not having been filed.

Portland, Ore., Jan. 27. Prof. Filbert Roth, former- chief of the forestry division of the general land! office, will close the case of the gov ernment in the Binger Hermann trial this afternoon. Prosecutor Heney, it is expected, will conclude the direct examination of Prof. Roth during the afternoon, and with tho direct examination and the recall o some of the witness who have al ready been on the stand the prosecu tion will come to a close tomorrow noon. Attacking Evidence. Col. Worthington, even before the close of Heney's case, has begun his effort to tear holes In the net of cir cumstances which Heney has been wfeaving about the defendant during: the past two weeks of testimony. Yes terday afternoon during the cross examination of McVean, Col. Worth ington attempted to remove the force of ,tlfie witnesses direct testi mony, which was in part to the ef fect that Hermann had tit once taken up the Blue Mountain case and made the temporary withdrawals as soon as he had recelvted the two let ters from F. P. Mays in May, 1902, urging that such action be taken by the land office. McVean had testi fied that he had those letters from Mays before him. when he wrote tho order of withdrawal. On cross-examination Col. Worthington drew from the witness that he had or dered the withdrawal beforehand. This morning Col. Worthington followed the same tactics while Col. A. R. Green, former chief of the for estry division was on tho stand and tried to show that all letters which came to the land offico from senators and representatives In congress were mnrked special an given the right of way by the different divisions of thQ offico. Marked Letter Special. This was to combat the contention of Heney, founded 911 testimony in dicted by him through the different stages of the trial, that the fact that Hermann marked the letters of Mitchell to Hermann concerning the Bluo Mountain case "spl" meant thnt he hnd done so because of his agreement with Mays and because ho was in the conspiracy to push tho Bluio Mountain reserve case through tho land office to final creation. No one has much idea how long It will requlro to put In the case of tho defense. Tho documents which have boon brought Into court by Hormann and his attorneys fill u "big trunk which Is guarded carefully by tho defense. It Is brought to tho court room every morning and at tho closo of the session Is locloed up and takon to a placo of safety for tho night. How much of this mnterfnl In tn u l. ... 1 1 . . uu uMuu its uviuenco in me case is problematical. Dinger Hermann is to go on tho witness stand when tho dofonso has Its inning, and it is probably that this will bo tho chief point of tho defense and will taldo up most of .tho time employed In presenting the counter ovldonco Intended to break up tho attacks of tho prosecution.
