2 SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE PERISHED Ten Villages Buried Under Volcanic Debris. THOUSANDS FAMISHING Awful Results of the Eruption of the Volcano of Santa Maria Described by an Eye* Witness —The Puin Irreparably . (By the Associated Press.) New Orleans, Nov. 22.—The Picayune today prints the following letter: "Port Barrios, Guatemala, Nav. IC ‘‘Refugees who have arrived here this week from western Guatemala, report a terrible stat£ of affairs as the result of the eruption of Santa Maria volcano. The country for a radius of over thirty miles has been made a desolate waste and every vestige of life destroyed. The loss of life is estimated at over 7,000, the great majority of the victims being In dians. Ten Indian villages, each with a population of from 50 to 5.000 inhabi tants, were wiped out, the rude huts being buried beneath tons of volcanic debris. All of the coffee plantations in the volcanic zone are ruined and their owners left penniless. The. greatest distress prevails throughout the central and western portions of the republic and even on the eastern coast the effects are felt in the scarcity of money and the rise in exchange. "A famine prevails at Quesaltcnango and 10.000 people are starving. Even in Guatemala City, the capital, the inhabi tants are suffering for food. The gov ernment is utterly unable to relieve the distress and suffering and the people are on the verge of revolution. The only thing needed to start a formidable up rising is the appearance of a leader. ‘‘Porflrio Herrera, who owned a valu able coffee plantation seven miles from the Santa Maria volcano, was among the refugees who arrived here today and sailed for Nicaragua. Senor Herrera, in an interview discussing the situation, said: “ ‘The eruption ceased on the morning of November 9, when I ventured to my plantation and found it buried beneath ten feet of ashes, mud, and sand, hurlpd from the volcano. Everything on the place was in ruins.' “His residence was destroyed and out of 112 laborers employed on the plants ttion all but four perished. Those who escaped happened to be visiting a farm right miles further from the volcano that day and when they saw the danger took refuge with a lot of others in a cave. His family was in Guatemala City and therefore escaped. ‘On the trip to my plantation,’ he continued, ‘I passed a number of other coffee plantations which had shared the same fate as my own. The scene along the route was frightful. The dead bodies of Indians and animals who had been suffocated by the deadly fumes were visible everywhere, and the stench was awful. I passed through one Indian village where over 350 perished. All of the bodies had their hands to their nos trils, showing plainly what caused death. The damage to the country is beyond repair. " ‘Two new craters had been formed in the mountain side and were in eruption at last accounts.’ ” BJOPEVELT IN PHILADI-LPHIA. He Declares That the Problem Presented by the Trusts Will be Solvtd. (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 22.—President Roosevelt, accompanied by several mem bers of his Cabinet, came to this city today. During the afternoon the President was the chief speaker at the exercises incident to the dedication of the New Central High school for boys. He mddo two addresses at the institution, one in Assembly Hall, where the formal dedi catory ceremonies took place, and the other from the balcony of the building to the 1,500 pupils of the school. Tonight the President responded to a toast during the Founders’ Day banquet at the Union League. In the interim between these events. President Roose velt was entertained at luncheon by Charles Emory Smith, former Postmaster General, and was tendered a reception at the home of Edward T. Stotesbury. At the school building the President addressed first an assemblage composed mainly of alumni of the institution. The President paid a tribute to the pub lic school system, saying in part: “Nothing like our present system of education was known in earlier times. The training given in the public schools .must, of course, be not merely a training In intellect, but a training in what counts for infinitely more than intellect —a train ing in character.” At the conclusion of the exercises the President and his party re-entered tlietr carriages and were driven to the home of former Postmaster General Smith, where luncheon was served. On the route to Mr. Smith’s residence the scene •of enthusiasm were repeated. Later in the afternoon, the President repaired to 3*fr. Stotesbury’ home, where he met many distinguished gentlemen. After a brief rest, President Roose- if/ V • 1 \ velt was escorted to thp Union League, arriving there at 6:30 o’clock, where he participated in the Founder's Day ban quet and made the principal address of the evening. The President, in his speech, reviewed the policies championed by President McKinley on both the occasions when he appealed to the people for their suffrages ar.<i maintained that those policies had ' been faithfully carried out. President Roosevelt, in conclusion, said: “The question of the so-called trusts is but one of the questions we must meet in connection with our industrial system. There are many of them and they are serious, but they can and will be met. We shall not act hastily or recklessly, but we have firmly made up i our minds that solution and a right so lution, shall be found and found it shall be.” At the conclusion of the banquet, the Presidential party pi#ceeded to the Pennsylvania Railroad station and board ed their special train. The train pulled out of the station en route to Washing ton at 11:56 p. m. CORTELYOU HEROIC FOR NAUOHT- Leaped to Protect Roosevelt From Crank Who Only Wanted to Shake Hands. (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 22.—Some ex citement was caused this afternoon just after President Roosevelt left the resi dence of ex-Postmaster General Smith for the reception at Mr. Stotesbury’s. The carriage containing the President and Secretary Cortolyou had just started, flanked on either side by a squadron of the Philadelphia City Troop. A Secret Service man was on the box of the car riage. The roped-oft sidewalks were packed on either side for several blocks. Suddenly a man pushed his way tthrough the crowd, darted under the rope and rushed straight for the .car riage. The Secret Service man saw him coming and shouted to the police: “Keep that man back.” At the same time Secretary Corteiyou, who is ever alert upon such occasions, caught a glimpse of him and springing up leaned far over to protect the President from possible harm. The man got by the mounted guards, but as it turned out he meant no mischief. ‘I only wanted to shake the President’3 hand,” said he, appealingly to Secretary Corteiyou, extending an open palm. Secretary Corteiyou thereupon sank back into Ills seat and the President gave the man a friendly hand-shake. Meantime the carriage had stopped and mounted police and troopers had formed a close cordon around it. But in the confusion a colored man also had reach ed the carriage. He grasped the Presi dent’s hand and covered it with kisses. The excitement caused by the incident subsided in an instant and the ] reces sion proceeded. NOTHING TO <fOTHINO.

Bicycle*, Cash, Cow*, Boeza and Other Thing* are Told of Here. The Mayor had two cases for his at tention yesterday, though these were not the only offenders in the city, the jus tices also doing business. Willie Earl, the thirteen year old ne gro boy who’ stole the bicycle of Rev. Marion B. Culbreth was sent to jail to await the next term of Wake county court on the charge of larceny. Lydia Chamblee, colored, drunk and disorderly being the charge, was sent to the work house for thirty days. She is a virago, and Amazonian in her behavior, as the tussle she had with the officers proved. She is a regular customer of Mayor Powell’s court. Justice Yearby did business yesterday also. Lizzie Dickson, charged with stealing a pair of blankets from Sylvia Leach, was discharged, and Sylvia had to pay the costs, as it was adjudged a case of willful prosecution. Ed. Colton was presented with thirty days on the roads, being convicted of as sault and battery on James McLean. Justice Yearby also made the first move in a case which has been appealed. George Johnson married Mrs. M. A. Cot ton’s daughter, and jointly they bought a cow from Mrs. Cotton, Johnson con tributing SI.OO and Mrs. Johnson SIO.OO. Later Mr. and Mrs. Johnson separated, but Johnson kept the cow. The mother in-law brought a claim and delivery case for it. and also alleged that Johnson was not supporting his wife, who was living with her. Justice Yearby awarded the cow to Mrs. Cotton, but Johnson ap pealed and gave SSO bond so as to keep the cow till the higher courts have a say. He declares he will go to the Su preme court of the United States before he will be separated from the cow. Out at Milburnie Justice N. W. Pool put William Smith, colored, under SSO bond to appear at court. He is charged with the larceny of $37 from Eli Hinton, one of a party of negroes going home from Raleigh in the afternoon. The money was missed and Smith, who claim- Sing a song o’ sixpence, 4 Waffles’in the pie, Ate the little birdies up ’cause they couldn’t fly.
