nerves to sing while this dog was
walking up and down the aisle. The
preacher saw the dog before he barked.

that the preacher could no. refrain
from laughing. The dog was hustled

Reported.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dot. 6.-News from
the storm-stricken districts along the
coast is coming in gradually and it is
probable that hundred lives have
been lost. News by way of boat
which has arrived here, is that 80 peo-
pie were drowned at Fernandina.
From Campbell island, inhabited by
about 40 colored people, it is reported
that all but three were drowned. At
Brunswick, four people lost their lives
and at Jessup, 100 miles from the
coast, one was killed in building
blown down by the storm.
At Sterling station, Charles Wright,
a merchant, reports the disasters from
the flood great to lives and property in
the rice fields portion of Glynn and
Mcintosh. There are mum Der
of small islands at various
points around Brunswi Fernandina
and Darien, on which small groups of
families live. 1t will be some days be-
fore accurate reports arc heard from
these points. At Darien the water is
reported high, and the town badly
damaged. There are many rumors of
loss i life, but all Of the reports thus
IA received are oel eyed to be exager-
ated. Many Of those who bring news
left the scene of the storm during Its
height and consequently cannot be ex.
Fected to give accurate information.
The damage by wind and rain is enor-
nous and extends inland 100 miles in

is ell ! III s. Near Darien, the schooner

Principally by Coast Defense Vessels.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. =. ON the next
steamer from Hon olulu, Major General
Merriam expects a report from the
United States engineers regarding
camp sites and Notifications. 1t is said
that the report will be more in the ma.
ture of study than voicing any con.
illusions. General Merriam, when
asked about the matter, said:
"Honolulu's proper defense from an
enemy's feet is very important and
serious question. The coral reefs form.
ing the narrow harbor are low. The
site of the city is also low and the city
is close to the ocean. am not pre-.
pared to say what can or cannot be
done in the way of land fortified lions.
The outlook is not promising. I am
in clined to think that the city must de.
pend for most of its protection from an
enemy's attack upon ships of the coast
defense type. In that case there will
be no necessity for a large permanent
camp at Honolulu.

RAISE DEWEY
Congress to Be Asked to Make
Him Vice Admiral of the
Navy
And in Addition to Lengthen
His Term of Active Service
r Ten Years.
Considerable Space in the Mes
sage Devoted to the Asiatic
Squadron
And the Splendid Diplomatic
Tact Which Dewey Has
Displayed.

NEW YORK, Oct "a special to The
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary of the
Navy Long have determined to recon-
mend to congress the revival of the
grade of vice admiral, to be filed by
the promotion of Rear Admiral Dewey.
President Mckinley in his annual
message and Secretary Long in his an.
nual report intend to devote consider
able space to the achievements Of the
Asiatic squadron, under the command
of Rear Admiral Dewey and the splen-
did Judgment and diplomatic tact that
officer has displayed in handling the
many difficult problems which arose
before the arrival Of the American
troops and the capture of Manila.
AS under existing law Rear Admiral
Dewey will reach the retiring age in
December, 1899, there is strong prob.
ability that Secretary Long will also
urge that congress pass law permit.
ting the retention of that officer upon
the active list for an additional 10
years. A law permitting such action
in the case of officers receiving the
thanks of congress for gallant conduct
in the Civil War is now on the statute
books, but the authorities would be
glad to see the law changed SO that of.
ticers of the recent and future wars be
similarly rewarded.
There is little doubt that congress
will willingly adop5 the rec M, 'nda-
ton regarding Rear Admlra. D wey's
advancement.
