Captain Olsvlk says Inhabitants of Ro tas Del Toro were panic-stricken, believ ing that place might be overrun with the lava that was belching forth from the peak.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, D. C. April .-SP-clal Telegram.-From whatever angle the result In Illinois Is viewed, represen tatives In congress and by that Is meant, senators as well aa representatives, do not regard the vote yesterday in Illinois ss Indicative of republican sentiment at large. Even the friends of Roosevelt do not believe that the vote cast Is expressive of an honest conviction because of the unusual local conditions which prevailed. They took advantage of the conditions existing and played them for all they war worth. The president suffered in consequence but the result Is by no means etartllng. The Sunday Bee told the atory as viewed dispassionately from Taft head quarters In this city. While Mr. McKIn ley was hopeful hs expected nothing from his stste In view of local conditions snd the result but justifies The Bee's fore csst. The democratic phase of It was differ ent.

A bitter gubernatorial fight; a senatorial contest, factional fric tion In scores of towns and counties com plicated the republican situation, and as Minority Leader Mann remarked, "wiped out party lines" in many instances. Lo ri mer's unpopularity too. was adroitly shifted by Roosevelt so as to overshsdow Taft and Is thought to have had that effect.
