LATER
Getting Ready to Sail,

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Chilian
trouble shows its effect at the Brooklyn
navy yard in the renewed activity that
is being displayed in fitting out all tho
vessels now there. The number of
men engaged upon the monitor Mian-
tonomoh has been increased, and from
conversation with her officers yester-
day, it was learned that she could be
got ready for sea within ten days if oc-
lsion required it. She is classed BY
all officers as the most formidable ship
in the navy. and, if necessary, she
could be in Chilian waters within two
months.
1t was learned that three ships, the
Philadelphia, the Concord and the Kear-
sarge, were being prepared to leave
Tuesday for the West Indies. A ship
going from New York to Chilli gener-
ally makes her first stop at St. Thomas,
so it is possible that there may be some
connection between the rumored or
ders from Washington and the depart
ure of these three ships.

THREE THOUSAND SLAIN,


in Japan.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Hiogo, Japan, says
that the terrible earthquake which oc-
Cured in that country Wednesday last
destroyed the towns of Nagoya, Gifu
and Osaki. All the public buildings and
most of the smaller structures in these
places were thrown down. A fire
which started among the wrecked
buildings in Nagoya completed the
work of destruction in the most
crowded quarter of the place. 1t is
estimated that the total number of per-
sons who lost their lives by the disaster
exceeds 5000. Many vessels are
reported to have been wrecked in
the vicinity of Hiogo, and during the
seismic disturbances the waters of the
lakes in the surrounding country were
