J THE EARTHQUAKE
IN MEXICO
At Colima Seven People Were
Killed Outright and Sixty
Were Wounded.
Public Buildings Were Damaged
Number of Dwellings Were
Wrecked. Traveled Across
Country Prom Pacific to Atlantic.
City of Mexico Jan. 21. News
is arriving from theiuterior points
affected by the earthquake Friday
night and Saturday morning. Much
damage was done to property in
Guadalajara and the city of Coli
ma capital of the state of the same
name was the scene of sad aud
terrifying experiences accompa-
nied with loss of life. The City of
Mexico came off comparatively un-
scathed few accidents occurring
here or in the suburbs although
some adobe huts in the suburbs
fell in and one bridge was partly
wrecked. The subterranean electric
light insulation was not harmed
and the city continues to be well
illuminated. The Church of the
Three Kings at Atzchatzalcd in
the suburbs was cracked and will
will be closed for repairs. Scien
tists are still studying the earth-
quake from data now being receiv-
ed from interior points.
SEVEN KILLED ; OTHERS WOUNDED.
Colima Mex. Jan. 21. An
earthquake shock began here at a
quarter before midnight Friday
and assumed serious proportions
atTenimata many houses being
badly injured and some of light
construction wrecked. There was
great consternation and people
rushed into the streets some bare
ly escaping with their lives. Seven
persons were killed outright and
sixty were wonnded aud are being
cared for by local surgeons. It was
reported that the volcano had burst
into eruption but it now appears
that the phenomeua were confiued
to subterranean manifestations.
Local scientists believe that the
earthquake traveled from under
the Pacific ocean aud that when
news reaches here from the coast
there will be interesting details
The government of this state has
appointed a commission to inspect
the churches and public edifices
while owners of houses injured iu
the quake will be compelled to put
them in condition of security.
Quiet has returned and there is lit-
tle apprehension of a return of dis-1
turbances.
CHURCHES DAMAGED.
.Guadalajara Mex. Jan. 21. At
midnight Friday night an earth.
quake shock cracked the arches audi
staircase of the state palace and
the porticos of the university and
the Degollado theater the latter
one of the most massive structures
here. The cuurches.or. bau i?ran-
cisco and San Jose were damaged.
The former is one of the hand
somest edifices on the continent
and is locally known as the "Gold
en Cup" from the magnificence of
its interior. The government has
closed Sagrario chnrch fearing
the dome will fall iu. Carmen bar-
racks were badly damaged and'pany C. Thirtieth infantry

EXPERIMENT IN JOURNALISM
Rev. Sheldon Author of "In Hi:
Steps" Will Have Charge of
fc Topeka Kan. Papr.
Special to the News.
Topeka Kan. Jan. 2L A ex
periment in journalism will short
ly be made in this city which will
be of national importance. Rev.
Charles M. Sheldon author of "In
His Steps who last summer start-
led the world by asking the dele-
gates to the Christian Endeavor
convention at Detroit for $1000-
000 with which to establish and
conduct a daily newspaper as Jesus
would do were he here will be
given an apportnnity to make the
experiment. He will be given en-
tire control of the Topeka Daily
Capital one of the leading news-
papers of Kansas aud for oue
week will conduct the paper as he
believes Jesns would. To every
piece of news editorial aud ad-
vertisement printed will be applied
the question "What would Jesus
do? If the experiment proves suc-
cessful an attempt will be made to
hare Rev. Sheldon continue in
charge of the paper.
Your correspondent talked with
Rev. Sheldon today concerning the
experiment bnt he refused to make
public his plans before taking
control of the paper. He said:
"I realize that I am undertaking
an enterprise which if conducted
as I hope to see it will resnlt in
untold good to the profession of
jonrnalisra. I will occupy my
time between now and March 13
iu preparing myself for the work.
I will be slightly at a disadvantage
on account of my lack of experience
as a newspaper man.'
The following is the announce-'
ment which the Capital will make
in its Tuesday morning's issue:
"The Capital this morning inak6s
an announcement that is unique in
journalist Rev. Charles M. Shel-
don author of ln His Steps will
ou March 13 next assume the entire
editorial and business control of
this paper. For six days he will
be its absolute owner and unham-
pered he will dictnte its udTertis-
mg. In a word he will embody
his idea of what a Christian daily
newspaper should be.
THEY HID IN THE BUSHES.
Saturday's Insurgent Attack Was
On Convalescents.
Manila Jannary 21 10 p. m.-
The escort (Jf fifty men of com -
which was ambnshed near Lipa ;
as already cabled consisted uf
fifty convalescents from the
- nicy convaiescnus um uic
jpital who were going to re-join
'the regiment. The insnrgents
hid in the bushes along the road
aud opened fire upon tha pack
train from three sides The Auier
icaus in addition to their casual-
ties were compelled to abandon
the train which consisted of
twenty-two horses. The latter
with their packs all fell into the
hands of the insurgents who
pursued the retreating escort for
three miles nlong the road until
the Americans were reinforced.
I Manila January 21 1 p. ni.-
Advices from Negros bring parti-
culars of the uprising last month
from the southern part of the is
land in which Lieutenant A. C.
Ledyord Sixth infantry wa3
killed. Instead of being an unim-
portant revolt of native police
as was at first reported it appears
to have been aii attempt to over-
throw American authority. Tho
movement was started by the chief
officials of the autonomous govern-
ment the men who were elected
and inaugurated with such cere-
mony last November Eleven of
these officials including the presi-
dent and several conncillors wera
lodged iu jail on a charge of plot'
iting treason Several secured the
release under heavy bonds bnt
others remain in prison.
General Smith found evidenG
that the revolting police wera
following the orders of tha
autonomous government which
designed to use forces under its
control to overpower the Amer-
icans. The plot failed through
being started prematurely bu
Negros was in a state of 11 n-
ea.siness for a week. Two com-
paunies of the Twenty-sixth in-
fantry were hurried from lloilo
to reinforce the garriaou at
Bacoloid.
The officials arrested include
some of the most prominent men
iu Negros. It is believed that
will be expelled from the island.

Nicaragua To Settle Difference
With Maritime Canal Company .
Washington D. C Jan. 21.
It was stated tonight by officials
authorized to speak that there is
absolutely no basis for reports
that the State Department has re-
ceived assurances from Costa R-ieu
and Nicaragua of a willingness to
lease territory it the United States
for a hundred years or more for
the construction of the Nicaragua

has practically admitted iu prin-
oiple at least the doctrine of ar-
bitration as the moans of settlement
of any trouble between it and tho
Maritime Canal Company growing
ont of the latters project for the
construction uf an isthmian canal.
