Fierce Hurrica sweeps Along the
Coast Of Georgia.
New Orleans. Dot. LA Times
Democrat special from Atlanta says:
A disastrous hurricane swept over
Brunswick and along the Georgia ooatt
this monring. Reports have been re-
ceived from the storm center, saying
the hurricane was most terrific and
that great damage and loss Of life re-
suited.
Wires, telephone and telegraph, and
parts of buildings were blown down
and carried away. People were in
jured by flying objects, and one lady
was killed at Everett. station few
miles from Brunswick. The railroad
track was obstruoted by trees and
poles, and the only train which came
through from Brunswick was preceded
by a wrecking train for distance OF
twenty miles.
A man who has just came from
Brunswick states that the city is badly
damaged, and that three big vessels
were sunk in Brunswick harbor. The
latter were blown away from their
moorings. The waves of the sea and
the wind destroyed much of Bruins
wick's shipping interests. The famous
old gunboat Monitor was blown from
her mooring and was floating helpless
ly in the harbor, in danger Of going
to the bottom. A number of buildings
were wrecked. The water rushed
through the streets in torrents, carry
ing property, household furniture and
valuables toward the harbor. Four
persons were killed outright.

Toxic, Oct. 2.-Terrible accounts come
to hand with incidents connected with
the Mohammedan rebellion in Kan Su.
1t ia estimated that 10000 Mohammed-

frozen to death in the hills and noun

Der $4,000, women and children for the

remained under arms among the hills
In the southeastern district in the mid

The business Of beheading the insur-

vigor, SO soon as their strength had
been broken In any district. An aver

OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN
Frederick S. Craycraft Seriously
Wounded by Spanish Soldiers
and Robbed Of $50.

Key West, Fla, Nov. S.-Passengers
who arrived last night from Havana
bring the intelligence Of another out
rage committed on an American citizen.
Although the details are incomplete,
the facts are positive, since the victim
has filed a protest before Vice Consul
Springer and the case has been sent
to Washington for instruction. It ap-
pears that near the town Of San Jone de
Las Jas, Havana province. q Spanish
force patrolling the country, surprised
3 rebels who tried to sneak into town.
The Spaniards gave chase and the
rebels fled. In order to discover the hid
ing place of the fugitives, the Span
ish force was divided into squads OF
fifty men and they were sent in differ
ent directions. One of these parties
went to the estate owned by a Cuban
where Frederick L. Craycraft, q native
Of Indiana, and only years in Cuba,
was manager. They entered the resid-
ransacAed the premises. The women
present were insulted in the most out
rageous manner. Craycraft protested
that he was an American and showed
papers. This. 1t seems, incensed the OFF,
Ger in command, who drew a sword and
commenced slashing at Craycraft. He
managed to avert death. but was
wounded in the back, receiving a fear
full cash that carried away part Of the
flesh. His forearm was also cut to the
bone. The other officer interfering,
saved his life. Craycraft was forced to
deliver about $3.50 in his possession.
Meantime Craycraft heard from the
great Outcries outside and went later
and found seventeen 'pacificos'' had
been killed. There was not one innsur-
gent amongst them.
All this was reported last week as q
create Spanish victory. Letters receiv-
ed from Puerto Principe give further
details Of the capture Of the town OF
Guairmaro by CalixtO Garcia. The
whole garrison, one hundred and sixty
men, surrendered and are still prison
ers. although Garcia sent word to Cas-
tellanOs that he would deliver them.
Garcia is also attending the officers
and soldiers wounds. 1t is rumored
Weyler has issued secret orders to mill

prohibiting grinding except on Spanish
property. Orders have also been issued
to seize foreigners residing on sugar
estates, to kill cattle and destroy i'm
plements and to simulate u fight In
order to scare the farmers and the
laborers.
Passengers by the steamer Olivette
also report that numerous insurgents
from the command of Gen. Gomez have
entered the province of Matanzas dur
ing the past few days, and have caused
Gen. Weyler to dispatch six thousand
of his troops, stationed IN Pinar Del
Rio district. into .Matanzas. Consider

also in Matanzas, fearing an attack on
the latter place.

OFFICE SEEKERS ON TIME
Major McKinIey's Residence Is Besieged
by Numerous Callers Who Want to
Help Run the Government.

Canton, O., Nov. S.-Major Mckinley
Is rapidly recovering from the effects Of
the mental strain and arduous labOrs
OF the campaign and this evening ex-
pressed himself as being fully rested.
He is in excellent health and spirits.
The president-elect spent very quiet
day. He took short walk early in the
morning, attended church as usual, and
in the afternoon went for a drive. The
passed in his library. Among those who
called were Charles G. Dawes. member
of the executive committee of the ma
tional Republican committee; Ferdi-
nand W. Peck and Alexander Revell. of
Chicago; Captain A. T. Willberly, Of
New Orleans. and Congressman Francis
II. Wilson, of Brooklyn. N. Y.
The determination of Major Mckinley
to remain in Canton until the middle Of
this week on account of the feeble con-
dition of his wife, may keep the storm
cloud of political interest central over
Canton for some days longer. The
character Of the visitors to Major Nc
kinley has changed a good deal since
his election. During the campaign.
when the railways made low rates, hum
dreds and thousands Of people from the
lowly walks of life came to Canton.
Now the visitors are largely Of the
political, oftice-holding, or office-seek-
ing classes. Some Of the callers at the
Mckinley residence are old friends and
others are persons who have been ask
ed to come. Every good citizen il cor
daily received il Major Mckinley has
the time to see him at all. Applications
for official places are beginning to come
in by mail in large numbers and they
include requests for all sorts of appoint
ments from day laborers to chiefs Of
bureaus. Flowers Is unlimited guam
tity continue to reach Mrs. Mckinley
Every room in the house Is radiant with
them and the supply was so large yes
terday afternoon that whole wagon
load was divided among sick friends and
the patients in the city hospital. Mrs.
Mckinley Is deluged with begging let
ters. One woman who wrote recently
wanted money to educate her children,
and a girl asked for enough to GUY a
bridal robe. A score Of churches and
religious societies have sent plaintive
appeals. Some letters requesting IMAM
cial aid by persons in distress are ac-
companied by such cheerful observa-
tions as this: III you don't respond
within twenty-four hours you will prob
ably hear Of my DEATH"

gold mines are to be extensively work
ed by a wealthy English syndicate. On
Tuesday last a carload of supplies con-
sisting of tents, groceries, mining tools,
powder, ETC., arrived at Granite Canon
and was unloaded for operations there,
and a large force of men have been en-
gagged for mining work to be prosecut-
ed by the new company. A contract
has been made with the owners of four
of the best prospects there on the basis
of the company receiving a deed for
three-fourths of each claim, the orig,
