The Indiana are defying the town ahd county officials and are committing havoc wherever they go.

The peasants had become en raged at the overbearing action of the troops and somebody shouted: “If you were so brave as you try to appear, why did not you beat the Japanese?"

DYNAMITE USED TO STOP FLAMES Many Hotels and all Thea tors Razed to Ground By Quake. AMERICANS FLEE BEFORE MAD CUBANS Continued from Pago One. By Private Leased Wire; 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 w'ounded at upward of 800. to attack that city. There arc only 300 rural guards to defend the city. Jose Miguel Gomez with floO men Is heading an uprising In Sanctl Splrltus. u ith Gomez In arms, the reltellion assumes alarming proportions. It Is reported there Is an uprising also In Cardenas. Americans Are Fleeing. General Demetrlo Casrtlll. who was governor of the province of Santiago, and Juan Golberts Gomez, one of tho editors of- La Lucho, of Hnvora, were arrested quietly by rural guards at El Coney, charged with Incitlag revolu tion. They sturteu for Havana wi4h a large escort on a special train. Roth 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 been forced to flee 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. Bandero boasts he will capture the town of Mariano. It Is announced that President Palma will call an extra session of congress , ©f this place, within two days to ask credit and per- VOTE FOR CHARLES I. BRANAN ( FOR- COUNTY TREASURER. By So Doing You Will Say, “7 Favor the'SALAR Y SYSTEM’ FOR COUNTY OFFICIALS WHICH WILL SAVE THE COUNTY ALMOST One Hundred Thousand Dollars Each Year. The present “Fee System” is allowing a number the best county officials in the state to make entirely '0 much money, while the people foot the expense >ill. Also that you favor GLASS FRONTS to protect ie MOTORMEN and PASSENGERS. Also that you are in favor of the Fulton County emocratic Executive Committee being elected by the •ice of the people and NOT at these packed Mass eetings.. DYNAMITE WAS USED TO 8TAMP OUT FIRE, Special Cable—Copyright. Valparaiso, Aug. 21.—Shaking off the panic and terror which followed the awful calamity which has well-nigh destroyed the city, Valparaiso Is now- coming to herself, and thq 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 In the public parks. The soldiers have shot a number of lad rones who were caught rifling the dead and robbing buildings and their bodies wore 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 are very energetic and sup press all law-lessness and are supplying food and camp comforts to the home less population which is encamped In the hills. Blasts Stop Flamss. Profiting by the example of San Francisco, the flames which threatened to completely wipe out the city were stayed by the liberal use of dynamite and other high explosives, of which there was a large supply. It will be Impossible for many days to form an adequate Idea of the loss of life or property. Estimates vary as 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. All Theaters in Ruins. As a matter of fact, 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 cities 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 where the hanks are 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. All 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 has been exhibited the most grat ifying optimism among all classes. PROVI8ION8 PLENTIFUL BUT WATER 18 8CARCE.
