Douglas, Nev„ Aug. 21.—Seven hun dred Ute Indians are oft the reserva- tlon here, and they have spread terror among the farming folk. So great is the number of the war riors that the authorities are helpless. The Indians are defying the town and county officials and are committing havoc wherever they go. They have broken Into scores of homes, routed out the farmers and their families and ransacked the houses. They have driven off cattle, sheep,and horses by the thousands. A repetition of the Meeker massacre Is feared. Every report tells of bolder outrages. The news from the outlying ranches and small farm district Is re stricted today, and up to the early morning hours no murders have been reported. It Is believed that only the presence of Federal troops will restore order. If the outrages continue an appeal for Federal aid will be made today. Vote for J. G. Woodward fer County Treasurer.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS SLAIN IN BATTLE BY CZAR'S TROOPS Hy Private Longed Wire. St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.—Reports from the Kharkoff district bring news of the killing and wounding of 57 peas ants by Russian soldiers at a country fair. The peasants had become en raged at the overbearing action of the troops and somebody shouted: "If you were sp brave as you try to appear, "’hy did not you beat the Japanese?" This taunt was the signal for a con certed charge upon the peasants, who were without defense. A mutiny is reported in Astrakan province.

Americans Are Fleeing. General Demetrlo Castllli, who whs governor of the province of Santiago, and Juan Golberts Gomez, one of tlio editors of La Lucha, of Havana, were arrested quietly by rural guards at El Caney, charged with IncitMg revolu tion. They started for Havana with a large escort on a spectu! ‘.rain. Both men deny treasonable Intentions and assert that their activity has been solely In the Interest of their organiza tion of the Liberal party. Americans who own valuable prop erty have b*en forced to tlee with,their families to the nearest cities. Ill Treating Americans. It is reported that the Insurgents are dealing roughly with the Americans In order to force the United States to in tervene. Rebel proclamations have been distributed among all the soldiers, promising a new Democratic govern ment. A party of Quentin Bandero's forces seized and sacked a store on the out skirts of Wajay, 11 miles from Havana, and loaded the groceries upon mules’ backs.

Santiago de, Chile, Aug. 21.—An of ficial report of the Valparaiso earth quake was received today by President Rlesco from the governor of the state of Valparaiso. The governor estimates the number of killed at 300 at the very lowest and of the wounded at upward of 800. VOTE FOR CHARLES I. BRANAN i FOR- COUNTY TREASURER. By So Doing You Will Say, "I Favor the 'SALARY SYSTEM’ FOR COUNTY OFFICIALS;' WHICH WILL SAVE THE COUNTY ALMOST One Hundred Thousand Dollars Each Year. The present "Fee System” is allowing a number of the best county officials in the state to make entirely too much money, while the people foot the expense bill. Also that you favor GLASS FRONTS to protect the MOTORMEN and PASSENGERS. Also that you are in favor of the Fulton County Democratic Executive Committee being elected by the voice of the people and NOT at these packed Mass Meetings. DYNAMITE WAS U8ED TO STAMP OUT FIRE. Special Cable—Copyright. Valparaiso, Aug. 21.—Shaking off th? panic and terror which followed tha awful calamity which has well-nigh destroyed the city, Valparaiso Is now coming to herself, and the leading men of the community are’ communicating with the authorities In relieving the immediate needs of the sufferers In the camps on the surrounding hills and irt the public parks. The soldiers have shot a number of lodroneH who were caught rifling the dead and robbing buildings and their bodies were suspended from telephone poles at the street corners bearing large placards reading: "Por Ladrone"—a warning to looters. The situation Is now well in hand. The authorities arc very energetic and sup press all lawlessness and are supplying food and camp comforts to the home less population which Is encamped In the hills. Blasts Stop Fiamss. Profiting by the example of San Francisco, the flames Vhlch threatened to completely wipe out the city were stayed by the liberal use of dynamite nnd other high explosives, of which there was a large suppjy. It will be Impossible for many days to form an adequute Idea of the loss of life or property. Estimates vary ns to the death list from 200 to 3,000 In this city alone, and the estimates of loss of property range between $75,- 000,000 and $300,000,000. AH Theaters In Ruins. As a matter of tact, it is impossible as yet to more than guess at either. It Is evident that Valparaiso Is the cen ter of the seismic disturbance, most of the destruction among the smaller titles having occurred within 100 miles of this place. While the destruction was considerable at the capital city of Santiago, 76 miles to the south, that city suffered far less than Valparaiso. The greatest force of the shock here seemed to center around the commer cial district w'here the hanks ate situ ated. Most of the buildings there were either demolished or badly damaged. Practically the whole of the eastern two-thirds of the city also Is destroyed. All the theaters are In ruins. AH Classes Optimistic. The fact that President-elect Montt is expected here today or tomorrow has done much to help the spirits of the people. It Is a notable fact that since they recovered from the first shock there hns been exhibited the most grat ifying optimism among all classes. PROVI8ION8 PLENTIFUL BUT WATER 18 8CARCE.

It Is reported that the secretary of public works, General Montalvo, has been placed In command of all forces employed against the Insurgents. It Is reported also that there is a cabinet crisis, and that Senor O'Farrill, secre tary of the government, will resign. The revolutionists declare their grievances are stolen elections, tyran ny, disregard of the liberators by the government In making appointments, and the preference shown for former autonomists and Spaniards. New Battle Reported. A new' battle Is reported to have been fought in Plnar del Rio province,* In which the government troops were de feated. The report Is to the effect that losses on both sides were heavy. Reinforcements have been hurried to the province and Havana Is awaiting breathlessly to hear the details of an other conflict which, It seems certain, will be fought today. 1 President Palma and his cabinet are working feverishly to Increase the rural guards, but the conviction is slowly gaining ground that the preponderance of enthusiasm is for enlistment In the Insurgent ranks.
