Los Angeles. Cal., Jan. 6. The grand Jury in the Los Angeles Times
explosion case returned 22 indict- .
ments. All of the Indictments charge murder In connection with that crime. It Is not likely that the names of any of the Indicted will bo made public until after arrests have been made. It is believed a number of San Fran
ciscans have been indicted. Wholesale Murder Is Charge. Wholesale murder, tho outcome of a dynamite plot. Is understood to bo the charge set forth In all the indictments, but it is believed that not more than three or fcrur men are named In the true bills. The return of the indictments today was the culmination of a dlsnster that excited the people of Los Angeles to a degree that for a few days bordered almost upon panic and resulted In the offering of rewards aggregating almost $100.000. Two Theories Presented. Union labor, which tho Times and Its proprietors had opposed, was injected into the situation, and when the special grand Jury was impaneled on October 25 It was immediately confronted with two conflicting theories. One of these, supported by the findings of an Investigating committee ap
pointed by Mayor Alexander, was that the Times plant had been blown uo
by dynamite conspirators. The other, presented by a committee named by the state building trades convention, then in session here, was that gas was responsible. More than forty witnesses, the ma
jority of them Identified with the union movement, were summoned , TAFT TALKS ON PHILIPPINES from San Francisco and other cities, j
Rio Janolro, Jan. 7. According to the Journal do Commerclo, Joao Candido, leader of the recent revolt in the navy, and forty-four other mutineers have met sudden deaths. Candldo succumbed to gangrene while a prisoner, twenty-six of his associates died from sunstroke while
engaged in repairing the fortress on Cobras Island and eighteen others nere suffocated in their colls In the trison on Vlllogalnon Island. When tbo latter of the two recent naval revolts In Hrazll was put .down, three weeks ago, it was announced that the mutinous sailors had been sent to states remote from Rio Janeiro, where they would bo employed In the construction of highways and railroads. The mutineers had surrendered, and It was officially announced that the disorders were at an end. Reports cf New Uprisings.
There are persistent rumors of disturbances in the State of Para, on the north coast, due to political dissatisfaction. Rioting Is said to have occurred at Para. Nlctheroy, the capital of the State of Rio Janeiro, and situated across the harbor from the federal capital, is under martial law. and the troops occupy all tho public buildings. The rigid censorship maintained by the government since the revolt in the navy was put down makes it Impossible to confirm officially these rumors of rioting at Para and elsewhere In the republic. The censorship includes the newspapers here and extends to press dispatches cabled to other countries.

Washington. Jan. 9. President Taft generalized about his attitude toward Philippine independence in an Informal speech at the annual dinner of the Military Order of the Carabao. Incidentally, he was installed as a member of the order. The Order of the Carabao. nntn"d for the buffalo, which Is the Philippine beast of burden, is composed of commissioned officers of the regular and volunteer service who honorably served In the Philippines during the Spanish war. Tho burden of the president s remarks was to the effect that, white he was unwilling to say that the Philippines never would be independent, "in my Judgment, we are likely to retain them for a considerable time."

Viterbo, Italy, Jan. 9. Thirty-two members of the Caraorra, who have been in close confinement for three years, were transferred from Naples to the prison here for trial, after a rioting mob of relatives and sympathizers failed to rescue them from the police.
