INUNDATED BY TIDAL WAVE.
Every business House In Brunswick, Ga.
Has Five Feet OF Water Around It
Great Damage Elsewhere.


Brunswick, Ga, oc'. A. 4-During the
tropical hurricane Of Sunday, tidal
wave was driven in from the sea and
inundated, for an average depth Of five
feet practically every business house
and warehouse in the city. Conserva-
tive estimates place the property loss
at $500, 900, though when the details
are all in the figures may be consider
ably shaded either way. The Mallory
steamship and South railroad docks
were under water four feet In the
residence section of the city, the water
was from two to eight feetdeep. There
was full sweep Of wind and water
from the ocean into and across the
city. Two fatalities in Brunswick and
one few miles out of the city have
been reported. Those in the city
were negro children. Their parents
are missing and may have been
drowned. A few miles out OF town,
Steritt Aiken, colored, wns killed by
falling bricks blown from chimney.
Meager reports from the Sea islands,
on the coast, are far from reassuring.
At Jekyl island, where the club houses
of New York millionaires are situated,
much damage has been done. Dix
vile, suburb Of Brunswick, inhabited
by negroes, was inundated and the de-
struction is almost complete. Nolives
were lost there. Five vessels are
ashore in Brunswick harbor, two be-
ing the Norwegian barks Record and
Louise, one an American schooner and
two valuable pilot boats, On the
docks are hundreds of thousands Of
feet of lumber and cross ties and
naval stores which will be washed
away. Nearly all the docks suffered
from lifting. While the water was do
ing its damage underneath the wind
was playing havoc overhead.
Several fronts of brick buildings
were blown partly out and the rain
poured through in torrents Every
church in the city was damaged either
by water or wind. All electric wires
were prostrated. Fires in locomotives
in and near the city were put out by
the driving sheets of water. The los.
to railroads has been considerable

which President Mckinley will send
to congress, when 1t assemblies In De-
cember, is awaited with much inter-
est. The work of preparing the mes

tain the president will urge that the

stiles Of that branch Of the military
arm Of the government Persons
close to the president say he is con-
vinced that larger standing army Is
an absolute necessity and that he will
probably adopta suggestion from Gen.
Miles that the military force be in,
creased to a strength of at least 100, 900
men.

Of congress are certain. This is the

The Baltimore and Petrol TO Get as Near
the Chinese Capital as
Possible.

Washington, Oct 4-Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de.
partment showing the existence Of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
point as near the Chinese capital Us
possible for a warship to approach.
The vessels selected for this undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
1t is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts at the entrance OF the Pang-He
river upon which Pekin is situated,
but the Petrol, being Of smaller pro-
portions, may be able to reach Tien-
Tsin, 80 miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin.
The officials regret that there is not
now on the Asiatic squadron light
draught gunboat of the Helena class
which could ascend the river rs far as
