Volcano of folmt la Mexico, R
" Hm Artlvlty, Accompanied
Kartbqoake Shocks.
by
City of Mexico, Feb. 25. A dispatch
from Ciudad Guzman says that the
most violent eruption of the Colima
volcano in years occurred at a quarter
past 5 o'clock Tuesdaj- afternoon. At
3 o'clock in the afternoon there were
20 severe earthquake shocks of 14seo
onda duration. At Tuxpaiv a heavy
pall of smoke hung over he .entire
vicinity. During the eruption of Sat
urday afternoon stones of all sizes
were hurled from the crater. Clouds
of volcanic dust descended for miles
around. A deafening explosion shook
the surrounding country. Simultane
ously there was- a discharge of fire
and smoke, dust and stones. Dust
and stones fell upon Ciudad Guzman
and Tuxpan, which are near iht vol
cano. No details have been received
concerning Tuesday afternoon's erup
tion. fColima Is one of the largest moun
tains of Mexico. It is near the Pacific
coast, in the province of Jalisco, form
ing the southwestern extremity of the
chain which traverses "the country
from east to west. It is 12,750 feet high.
Its most violent eruption in moilern
times was in 1869, when after 40 years
of inactivity and at a time when it was
supposed to be extinct it sent forth
great volume of pumice stone in
tensely heated, covering hundreds of
acres of land nearby. Another erup
tion occurred in- 1881, and again in
lf00 the volcano became active. Since,
then there have been many signs of
approaching eruption, which have
greatly alarmed the inhabitants of
the region. . These were particularly
noticeable soon after the Martinique
disaster. Near the vojejtno are the
cities of Tux pan and Ciudad Guzman,
the former. place of about 7,000 in
habitants. The country Jibou.tr the vol
;ano is very fertile.. but is inhabited,
mostly by Indians.
DEED OF INDIANA BOY.

Oirn Life.
Frankfort, Ind., Feb. 25. Earl
Woods, the 17-year-old son of a promi
nent farmer seven miles west of this
city, Tuesday evening murdered his
father, shot and fatally wounded his
mother and sister and then committed
suicide. The motive for the boy's
bloody crime Is not known. After the
shooting the young man went to tho
home of a neighbor and said that rob
bers had entered the Woods home nnd
killed his father, mother and sister,
and that lie escaped after n running
battle with the desperadoes, lie was
apparently greatly excited, and said
he was organizing a posse to pursue
his father's slayers. The boy then
continued on his way towards this city,
and, stopping nt the next house, told
the same story. When he was ques
tioned concerning the shooting he be
came confused, and resented the in
quisititenrss of the farmer to whom he
told the story. Young Woods said he
had no lime for further words, as he
had to run down the robbers, and he
started toward the barnyard at the
fanner's home. After the boy disap
peared behind the barn a shot "was
heard, and the farmer to whom the boy
had been talking but a moment before
hastened to the barn, to find theyouth-
ful murderer dying with a bullet
through his breast. The father of the
boy is dead, and it is said his mother
and sister cannot recover from their
wounds. The sheriff nnd coroner have
left for the scene of thecrime.

CZAR TO AHe ARBITRATORS.
Minister llovrva Propoaea to AMIt
That llnaalan Itoler Select Yea
.riaelan Judgtt.
Washington, Feb. 25. Mr. Bowen,
the Venezuelan plenipotentiary, has
proposed to the allies tWt the czar of
Kussia be asked to name the three ar
bitrators who, as The Hague tribunal.
shall decide the question of preferen
tial treatment. The suggestion has
been approved by the state depart
ment. In diplomatic circles the announce
ment of the proposed compliment to
the - czar ia a subject of comment.
The allies have not yet signified their
acceptance of the suggestion, but
this ia regarded as well-nigh certain.
Comte Cassini, the Russian ambassa
dor, will not be officially iuformed of
the fact until all the powers have
agreed to the suggestion, when he
will be asked to present the Invita
tion to his sovereign. The ambassa
dor evidently was pleased' on hear
ing of this renewed evidence of
friendship for his country on the part
of the United States and expressed
his appreciation of the courtesy of
Mr. 'iowen in suggesting the czar for
this Important duty.
"I can only say," the ambassador
said, "that his majesty will deeply
appreciate the compliment to hini,
which Mr. Bowen has proposed. As
the parent of The Hague tribunal,
his majesty has all along watched
with gratifying interest the support
the great peace court has received
from the United States, and for whose
president and people he cherished
the friendliest esteem nnd regard."
At the French embassy, an offi
cial suggested that it was nn espe
cially appropriate tribute to the
founder of The Hague tribunal,' that
he be invited to select the personnel
of the court which will pass on tho
firs't .case to be submitted to it ;by
European powers. , .
A feature of the protocol for send
ing the question of preferential treat
ment, to The Hague, as proposed by
Mr. Bowen, is that the court of arbi
tration is to begin the consideration
of the question on the first of Sep
tomber. ii ml that its decision shall
be rendered within six months. Tho
court, he proposes, shall decide when,
how ami by whom the costs of the
arbitration are to be paid. The pre
sumption Is that by tho first of next
September all the mixed commissions
which are to sit at Caracas unit ad
judicate the claims of tho various
nations will have passed on all the
claims presented. The claims of
some of the nations are small, one
of them being as low as $20,000, nnd
the suggestion is that The Haguo
court in view of this fact may pro
rate the. charges incidental to the
arbitration according to the amount
of the claims allowed, Instead of as
sessing each one an equal amount.
Berlin, Feb. 25. German foreign of
fice attaches no importance to the re
quest made to Mr. Bowen by Ilerr Bal
tazi, the former German charge
d'affaires at Caracas, for the immediate
payment of the $27.M)0 forming the
first installment of the sum to be paid
to Germany by Venezuela, but vthich
is not due until March 15. Foreign Sec
retary von Richthofen sent no such
Instructions to Minister von Sternberg,
and it is assumed that there has been
a misunderstanding in the matter. The
foreign office does not doubt that Ven
ezuela will strictly Carry out the terms
of the protocol.

The document had been previously
signed by President Palma nnd was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squlers. It does not specify the price
of the properties to be acquired by the
United States and this detail is left to
be settled by the usual legal condemna
tory proceedings after the navy de
partment has decided exactly the
amount of land it wishes nt each place.
