The town of Keystone, while much damaged, is not wiped out. as was reported. No estimate of- property loss ha* been made either by coal operators or by the railroad officials' The loos, however. is far up in the thousands. No definite news has been received from the coal fields, as all wires are still down and there is no means of communication. The Norfolk and Western Railroad Company's loss will reach $500,000 Men and materials are being hurried to the coal fields from all over the line of the

Norfolk and Western.

A telegram dated Ennis. W- Va.. from General Manager Johnson, of the Nor-

folk and Western Railroad, says:

"The best information is that about 60 people were drowned in the North Fork of the Elkhorn. Property loss about $*00,000. The Norfolk and West

INDIGNATION IN GUAM I SMART CoaauaOtr Scbrocdor Has SUmd Up a

Teapcst-Roaarkabk Order.

San Francisco (Special).—There seems to be something about the climate of Guam which makes men autocratic. Captain Leary was recalled lor playing czar and now Commander Schroeder, the present governor, has stirred up a tempfst in this far-away island by k remarkable order that is bitterly resented by the 150 tailors and marines. It teems that the last barrel of whisky in the hospital stores was

stolen recently.

Governor Schroeder made great •!- forts to discover the thieves, but failed. He decided that as the men would not tell of the thieves all should suffer, hence he had them lined op on the plaza, publicly censured them in a speech and punished them by confining them to the barracks and forbidding all

liberty after "ups."

He also declared that there had been numerous thefts from sailors and marines of money and clothing, and hinted by expressing the hope that the rogues might be. exposed, so that the command cease to be a source of shame to its officers and a disgrace to iu coun-

:ry and uniform.

The enlisted men are greatly wrought ap over this order, as they say there is 10 justice in punishing 150 men for the

lin* of a few.

They also object to the additional order which bars ont liquor, beer and any other beverages containing alcohol, without a permit from tbe governor. The* officers can get the permits, but they are denied to the common sailors. The indignant sailors posted a protest on the wails of the barracks, declaring the order high-handed.and one which no governor of a State at home wpuld dare to publish. They declare also that the governor’s arbitrary rule is resented by the people of Guam, who find it more harsh than the corrupt administration of the SpaxCAIU.ES TAKES OATH. S’* HumSi. losorgtots.
