 Waters. From the Devastated IsuDds an Urgent Ap- peal for Financial Aid Is Sent
 Fortb,

broke from their anchorages and were driven to sea. They had not returned when the steamship left Barbadoes, Many local vessels were wrecked or blown out to sea.
 Bridgetown, the capital of the island of Barbadoes, Is scene of desolation and ruin. Demolished or roof1ess houses are to be seen on every side and hardly a tree Is standing. Particulars from the country are still wanting.
 ST. VINCENT, British West Indies, Sept. 15.-The official reports reduce the number of deaths here during the hur- ricane. It was at first estimated that 300 lives were lost, but 1t is now be- lieved that the number is considerably smaller. The exact figures are not ob- tainable.
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept 15.-The island of St. Vincent has been swept by a terrific hurricane and an immense amount of damage has been caused by floods and landslides, as well as by the wind. There has also been great loss of life. The Governor of St. Vincent has cabled to the Governor of Jamaica imploring the latter to send prompt as- sistance to the sufferers. The island Of St. Lucia suffered slightly.
 The American Weather Bureau here locates the storm as passing Saint kitts and going northward.
 BARBADOES, Sept. 15.-The British ship Loandoes, of HAY tons, Captain Dodge, from Rio Janeiro, and the Amer ican bark Grace Linwood, of 592 tons, Captain Gilley, bound from New York to Pcrt of Spain, both lying at this port when the recent hurricane arose, were blown out to sea and have not been heard of since. Many marine losses have been sustained, principally to coasters.
 ST. VINCENT, Sept. 15.-The ship Loandoes and the bark Grace Linwood were cast ashore here and wrecked.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The dispatches British authorities in the West Indies indicate that, as a whole. the earlier re- ports of the havoc wrought by the hur- ricane were not exaggerated. They show widespread devastation.
 Owing to the breakdown of the tele- graph and telephone systems, the real extent of the disaster is still unknown. but financial aid is needed. People are f1ocking into St. Vincent from all the country around for shelter and food. Everywhere it appears that all the small buildings and many large ones were destroyed, and there is no doubt that the fatalities were numerous.
 Sir Cornelius Moloney, Governor of the Windward Islands, cables that two vessels were sunk and that the fate of many others Is unknown.
 The Governor of Barbadoes, Sir J. S. Hay, reports that the hurricane was of ten hours duration. Already he has been officially notified of sixty-one deaths and of thirty-one persons seri- ously injured. The reports from the country districts distant are incomplete, but there has been heavy loss of Gov ernment and private property. Assist ance is urgently required.
 TRINIDAD, British West Indies, Sept 15.-A steamship which has ar rived here from Barbadoes reports that fearful havoc was caused there by the hurricane on Saturday night. The de- struction of property was immense. It Is believed over 150 persons were killed throughout the island and numbers were rendered homeless and destitute
 Shipping suffered seriously. The ship Loandoes, a bark and two barkentines

MANILA, Sept. 15.-The insurgents changed their plans last night, and instead of evaCuatng all the suburbs of the city, as General Otis ordered, they moved from Ern1ita and Ma1ate to Santana, where they appear to be concentrating in strong force.
 It is reported although it is not con- firned, that Aguna1do has ordered that this place be held at any cost It is more likely a move on the part of Pic Pillar to embarrass the dictator.

four months production has gained a
little, but consumption still more and
if preparations for war last only a few
weeks, they will add much to the de-
mand. Other consumption for rail-
road cars, for vessels on the lakes, for
elevators and oil pipe lines, TO ragri-

orders, though now receiving Few.
Iron bar works are depressing prices

While the steel bar mills at Milwaukee
have to put on three eight-hour turns

to have been formed.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, March 11.-R. G. Dun &,
Co., weekly review of trade will say
in its issue Of tomorrow:
1t is most gratifying that no indus
try or branch of business shows any
restriction or hindrance, but some have
been rapidly gaining for the past week
and month. The railways are gaining
even while spectators are selling
their stocks, and the demand for pro-
ducts for all the great industries is
increasing. More gold is coming from
Europe than is needed, 10,86S, 60 hay-
ing been ordered during the past week,
and money markets are nowhere
alarmed or stringent, though reason
ably more cautious. The country rests
assured that its industries, almost all
of its business, the foreign demand for
its products especially, and all its re-
sources are beyond the reach of any
foreign power and that its honor and
foreign interests are in safe hands.
The greatest of all industries is
sending grain forward as if there were
no limit to the supply. Wheat exports
have been All, 497 bushels. -four in
cluded. against 1.26S,171 last year
from Atlantic and Pacific ports, and
for two weeks 1852, $50 bushels against
3.O16.546 last year. Exports Of corn in
spite of smaller yield nave been IL
706 494 bushels in two weeks against

passed all records, wheat declined
