further Details or the Disastrous wind and
Flood In the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-Details Of the great
typhoon in the Philippine Islands brought by
the steamer from Hong Kong shows that it was
much moro disastrous than the cable news indi-
Gated, as over 400 Europeans and 5000 natives
lost their lives.
The storm first struck the islands at the Bay
OF Sanpaula In the province Of SamaT. II dew
astated the entire southern portion Of the Island
and out of communication with the rest Of the
world for two days.
The hurricane reached Leyte and struck the
capital at Tacloban with great fury. In less
than a half hour the town was n mass Of ruins.
The natives were panic-strlcken and tried
to make their way to clear ground. Four
hundred Of thom were buried beneath
the debris OF tho wrecked buildings and
10 bodies or Europeans were recovered from
the ruins when the native authorities instituted
. search for the dead. A strange feature OF the
disaster was the manner in which tho bodies
were mutilated. They looked AZ though they
had fallen in battle and were cut up horribly.
AT Tacloban stood the Government prison, In
which were housed about 200 rebels. More
than half OF them escaped. but were recaptured
the day after the storm, as the condition Of the
roads was such that tho men could not mako
their way out Of the country. The scenes
in Leyti were most distressing. Thousands
OF natives were roaming over the devastat-
ed province looking for food and begging medi
cal attendance. Tho number Of wounded could
not DO estimated. The town Of Hernini was
nearly swept away by the flood. and 5000 in
habitants Of the place could not be accounted
for. Vera, a small station near Loog, disap'
peared altogether, and in LooR only three
houses were left standing.
Reports from the southern coast said that q
score OF small trading vessels and two Sydney
traders were blown ashore and their crews
drowned. The sea at Samar swept inland near
ly one mile. destroying property valued at SOW
eral millions OF dollars and causing wholesale
deaths among the natives.

EUROPE TO UNITE AGAINST U.s.
The Econautc war Goluchowski Foresees be-
tween America and Europe.

aBeotat Coots Dcsputch TO THE BUN
LONDON. Nov. 27.-Count Goluchowski. the
Austrian Minister OF Foreign Affairs, has gained
great prominence recently among European
statesmen, chiefly by reason OF the contamination
of tho Austria-R Russian entente. which was due
almost solely TO his skill No recent uttorance
Of any public man In Europe has attracted SO
much attention as his address the other day to
tho Hungarian Parliamentary delegations, in
which he discussed the general European situa'
ton. II was q clear cut, mastery statement OF
the foreign policy Of Austria Hungary.
But by far the most important and significant
portion OF the speech was the concluding sen.
fences, In which he prophesied q great economic
war between Europe and America. The attcn-
ton which his words are exciting throughout
Europe 10 additional proof OF their Significance,
and under tho circumstances sorious.minded
Americana will not fail to give them due con-
pideration.
A turning point has been reached. he said. in
European development which calls for the UNI
RENTING attention OF governments. The great
problems Of material welfare, which have be-
come moro pressing every year, are no longer a
matter Of the future, but require to BIO taken In
hand at once.
The destructive competition with trans
oceanic countries which has partly to be car
ried on at present and partly to be expected in
the immediate future requires prompt and
thorough counteracting measures II vital in
forests Of tho peoples of Europe are not to DO
gravely compromised. They must fight shout
der to shoulder against the common danger and
must arm themselves for the struggle with all
the means at their disposal. Just as the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries were alb
sorbed by religious wars, as the eighteenth CEN
fury was distinguished by the triumph Of
liberal ideas. and our own century by tho
appearance of nationality questions, in like
manner the twentieth century would be,
for Europe. q period marked by a struggle
for existence in the politico-commercial sphere.
The European nations must close their ranks in
order successfully to defend their existence.
MAY this be realized everywhere. and may tho
epoch OF peaceful development we now conf
IDENTIFY anticipate be employed in collecting our
strength and devoting ourselves chiefly to this
end"
Count G~oluchowski's ideas find most support
In Germany and France. The English press
content themselves with suggesting a protec-
tive tariff against all countries OUTSIDE the
British empire az . possible safeguard against
the dangers foreshadowed by the Austrian
Foreign Minister. The Berlin press is especially
vehement In demanding q European coalition
against American exports. The somi.ofhcial
Post proposes that tho European Governments
begin by abolishing suga bounties thus defeat
ing the obi ct OF the differential tax on sugar.

lingsworth. not suspecting their purpose, opened
the do r. and in a moment was seized and Sc
cureiy tied.
The keys were taken from him., and the Jail
opened. Price was soon in the hands of the
crowd. So quickly was the affair conducted
that 1t was all over before the town realized
that anything unusual was going on. The negro
had been fully identified.
Price came to Starke from Providence. Fla.
with his father about one year ago. The woman
he assaulted WAS Mrs. Spires.

John O. Sheehan became i'll suddenly in his
Office at 25S Broadway yesterday afternoon.
He was removed to his home, and last night
was resting there quietly. His physician. DIR.
James NJ. Ludden Of 2A3 West l2Oth street,
told Mrs. sheehan that her husbands illness
was not serious, but was the result Of overwork
and Indigestion.
MIR. Sheehan had been running around down
town all the morning and had eaten a hurried
luncheon, at half past 1 o'clock in the afternoon
with Coroner-olect yucca of the borough Of
Manhattan. Coronerelect Lynch of the borough
OF the Bronx, wiskinkio Donegan, DIR. 7. II.
Newland, who wouldn't mind being u Coroner's

had been talking for n while, when Mr.. Shcehan
turned to Alderman Oakley and said:
John. l am not vol. Every little while / feel
dizzy, Just as I do now. / feel as II l were going
right over on the floor like this"
Mr.. Shcehan leaned over the side Of his chair
to illustrate what he meant. lie apparently
lacked strength to recover his balance at once
and the men about him started forward in alarm.
DIR. Newland sent out for some tablets that
tend.to aid digestion. Mr.. Sheehan recovered and
resumed his conversation with Mr.. yucca and
the others. Fifteen or twenty minutes later
he had another attack Of dizziness. A carriage
was from the City Hall Park stand,

AGA West Twenty.third street and put to bed.
DR.. Ludden was sent for. Mr.. Shechan himself
was very much alarmed by his own condition,
and was very nervous until the physician came.
DIR. Ludden's diagnosis of the trouble as the
natural and not serious result of overwork,
anxiety, and acute indigestion quoted him a
good deal. At a little after 5 o'clock he fell
asleep. DR.. Ludden was in the house only about
half an hour.
Mr.. Sheehan has been conscious for several
days that his health was threatened with a
breakdown. He made an engagement with DR..
Ludden to have the physician call at his home
on Friday evening. At the last moment he
changed his mind and decided to save the doctor
the long journey downtown. Accompanied by
Mrs. Sheehan, he went up to Harlem. DR.. Lid
den had already started down. Mr.. Sheehar
laughed the matter of. and said he guessed he
didn't need a doctor much anyway.
He has been very much overworked for the
last year. 1t was said at his office that he had

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The Rev. Mr.. Phillips.
United States Consul at Cardiff. was formally
received into the membership of the local Bap-
tist community on Wednesday, and it is only
fair to say that everybody was very kind to
him. said lots of nice things about him and
showed a friendly desire to forget and forgive
his foundations Of Cardiff's immortality and
wickedness.
The attention that was called to his indiscre-
ton evidently had u SOLDERING effect upon the
Consul. for in the course Of a speech on Wednes-
day he protested that Cardiff was a town of
which he was proud. and he loved It more than
any other, and hoped to end his days in 1t.
As the Austrian Government said on the day
after the Turks saluted the Austrian flag at

Special Cable Dcspatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Nov. 27.-Gen. Albertone, second in
command in the disastrous Italian campaign in
Abyssin!a, has finished the book in which he
promised to write a reply to Gen. Baratieri.
The book is about to be published under the
title of Africa Calamitosa." The contents
Justify the title in melancholy interest. 1t will
be remembered that Gen. Baratieri denounced
all his assistant Generals as ipcompetents. and.
needless to say, Gen. Albertone tears Gen. Bara-
tieri's military reputation to shreds. In regard,
particularly, to the battle Of Adowa. Gen. Bara-
teri sought to demonstrate that the italian de-
feat was due to the disobedience Of his orders BY
divisional commanders. and denounced Gen.
Albertone as the chief culprit.
Gen. Albertone now sets forth documents in
symmetrical array to prove that orders were
duly obeyed, as is required by the first principles
Of military discipline. although the man who
issued them was an ass. Furthermore. he
makes out q pretty good case for the accusation
that Gen. Baratieri lost his head at the very
commencement of the battle and mover found IL
again until he got safely back to Massowab. 1t
only remains to say, by way Of completing this
unedifying exhibition Of military manners in
Italy. that the book is dedicated to the Minister
Of War. who has expressed his complete ap
prevail Of its contents.
THE SUNS Rome reporter says that the gen
eral belief in the capital Is that the revelations
in Gen. Albertone's book will provoke a storm
of popular indignation that will compel the
Government to arraign Gen. Bnratieri a second
time before a c~ourt-martial. despite tho fact
that he has been already acquitted of the
charge. 1t is now repeated as not the least
curious thing about the whole business that,
although the Italian Generals denounce each
other as poltroons. fools. and traitors. nobody
seems to consider Il necessary to fight q duel

On Tuesday a complaint was made to the Grand
Jury against Connell
No action being taken by the Grand Jury q
mob went to Connell's house to take the law
into their own hands. Cornell resisted, but tho
mob overpowered him and dragged him out.
When the woods were reached Connell pleaded
for mercy. but in vain. A rope was thrown
around his neck and his body was riddled with
bullets.
Two years ago Cornell murdered the Sheriff
of Montgomery county and since then has been
out on bond. 1t was largely owing to the failure
of the courts to try the murder charge that
lynch law was resorted to.
