SAVANNAH, Ga. Sept. 3.--Two more
wrecks were reported to-day off the entrance
to Catalogue sound. Both were dismasted
schooners. There were no signs of life on
either vessel The coast is being patrolled
in the hope of rescuing the crews of some
of the wrecked vessels. but except the crew
of the bark Noe, none is known to have been
saved. In the storm-swept section of the
coast the loss of property is increasing. The
miles of water on the lowlands are being
added to by the floods in the river, and the
waters everywhere in the flooded district are
rising. The first, train from the north in
three days reached hereN this afternoon

southern Philippines, and consisting of the
best and richest natives of Panay, Mindoro,
Cebu and Mindanao, visited United States
Consul Williams yesterday evening and
urged that every possible effort be made for
the annexation of the whole of the Philip
pine islands. The deputation declares that
all classes, the warlike mountaineers as
well as those engaged in mercantile pur-
suits, would welcome the stars and stripes,
and had resolved never to submit to Spain
or Tagal rule They also said there were

near Ioilo ready to support the Americans.
They refuse to join in the clamor for indie
pendence, which they consider a mistake
and impracticable. They only wish for an
nexation to the United States.
The delegates propose to interview Gen.
Otis the American commander, to appeal
TO President Mckinley and confer with Gen.
Aguinaldo's followers with a view to ar
ranging for a combined movement to insist
upon annexation. They will also ask that
the insurgent regiments be enrolled in the
American army with American officers, and
that the insurgent chiefs be given American
appointments under General Otis.
Aguinaldo remains at Dakor. He recently
wrote an impertinent letter to General Otis,
which resulted in his receiving a sharp
snub. The insurgent leader will probably
render himself amenable to the American
authorities

POPULISTS TO REORGANIZE.
National Convention of MiddIe-Road-
ers This Week.

CINCINNATI. o., Sept. 3.--The middle
of-the-road Populists will hold a national
convention here next week, beginning Mon
day, at 10 o'clock, and continuing indefi-
nitely until the work of reorganization of
the party is completed. This convention is
held next week so that the middle-of-the-
readers can get the benefit of the low rail-
road rates prevailing for the National En-
campment of the G. A. r. The convention
is called by the national committee, of
which Milton Park, of Dallas. Tex, is
chairman, and which was chosen at the
Nashville conference. July 4. At the same
time there will be meeting of the Ma
tional Press Reform Association. which is
strongly in favor of boiling and of having
an independent organization and an indie
pendent ticket. An address will be issued
to the people scoring the Populists' national
committee for its fusion record, charging
the committee with arbitrary treatment at
the general conference in Omaha, June IL,
In turning down the anti-fuson proposition
for national convention, and a special APP
peal will be made for the reorganization of
the Peoples party. While no nomina tons
are likely to be made yet the policy for
1900 viii be outlined, and the presence of
Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia, and
Thomas Watson, of Georgia, indicate that
there may be preferences expressed for the
national ticket in 1900. The basis of rep
resentation for this convention is two dele
gates for each State and Territory and one
delegate for every 1000 Populst votes cast
at any election since 1880. Secretary Parker
announces that all Populists opposed to flu
sion are invited to cooperate in the con-

Major Quinn. of the engineer corps. was
advised tonight that the Meigs had been
blown up by a torpedo or mine. The gov
eminent engineers had been unable to re-
cover the mines and torpedoes from shore
by means of the cables to which they had
been attached, owing to the fact that the
sand in the river. had weighted them down
and caused the cables to part On this ac-
count a crew was ordered down on the
Meigs to grapple for the mines and bring
them to the surface The crew had almost

weather Bureau Studying to Learn
Its Real Cause.

1t may become possible to forecast sun
stroke epidemics. The Weather Bureau at
washington is conducting broad investi-
cation with that end in view. Among the
interesting facts brought out by the statis-
Tics collected are that the old notion that
sunstrokes are not apt to occur on dry. hot
days is faIlaci6us; that people in Boston are
more liable to the affiiction than are those
in New Orleans; that sunstrokes are not
due to sudden rises Of temperature but 10
continuous hot weather, and that in order
TO produce sunstroke epidemic the nights,
as we'll as the days, must be hot.
Experiments recently made in France
show that one is much more liable to be-
come sunstruck when tired than when
rested
Like scarlet fever. sunstroke often leaves
10 its Victim some permanent malady. On
the other hand it has been known to have
acted like the gold cure on men who had
previously been addicted to drink.
Many of our soldiers in the tropics have
been victims of sunstroke since the war be-
gan, large number of the cases occurring
on board the transport vessels when the
men were inordinately crowded together
pending delays. "A large proportion of the
strokes occurred at night.
military surgeon who has studied heat
stroke in the army fos twenty years SAYS
he has seen most victims fall when the
sun was obscUred by clouds or mist
Sensational reports that this work of the
Weather Bureau was being done in order
to be able to forecast waves of crime due
to weather conditions has been Somewhat
embarrassing to the department because
there was no such purpose in view. Never
theless some statistics lately collected tend
to show that public morals really are at
lower ebb in summer than in winter. The
Chicago police records, compared with sta
tistics of that city's weather bureau show
that for period CT eight years marked In
crease in crime set in with the hot weather
They also show that crime increases as
rainfall decreases, and that the people Of
the windy city are most immoral when
winds are southwest and least so when
northeast.

WAS A NEGRO FIEND.
Joe Malone. Confessed to Numerous
Outrages on White Women.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 3-Horrible develop
ments are coming in connection with the
fiendish career of "Robie" Joe Malone, the
negro executed here to-day. His written
and oral confessions to officers and others
make it certain that he, in addition to what
has heretofore been published, participated
in five other murders and four assaults on
white women. Two years ago he criminally
assaulted and then killed Mrs. Dudham,
wife of prominent farmer near Cliffe, a
suburb of Dallas. and he and another negro,
whom the officers are now endeavoring to
capture, assaulted and killed three white
women at Eakle Lake, near Houston, about
three years ago. The best detective talent
has endeavored to solve the mysteries of
these crimes.

KNOXVILLE, ~ Tenn, Sept. 3-Heavy
rainfalls last night and cloudburst in the
lower portion of Knox county occasioned a
general flood in this section to-day Sew
eral streams running through the city
flooded and washed away lumber and coal
yards and also did damage to buildings by
filling cellars with water. The tracks of
the Southern Railway at Concord were
washed away, thereby stopping all travel
toward the South. The Southerns tracks
on the Asheville division suffered the same
fate, and at station near Hartman an
embankment was washed away, cutting off
communication with Cincinnati and Louis
vile.
A cloudburst at Concord washed away
from the roof of their floating home. No
lives were lost. The damage resulting from
high water will be many thousands of dol
lars.

YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Twenty-Five Cases and One Death
Now at OsvvOOd, Miss.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 3.-Nine new cases
of yellow fever were reported to the Board
Of Health to-day at Orwood. One case has
developed at Waterford, small village five
miles east of Water Valley. The board re-
CARDS this case as rather serious. Surgeon
Carter, of the United States Marine Hospi-
tai Service, left for Taylor's Station and
Orwood to-day on special train. There are
now twenty-five cases at Orwood. One
death has occurred.
The inspectors of the Board of Health re-
port tonight that they have found four
cases of yellow fever at Taylor's Station.
This is reassuring in view of the fact that
Taylor's has been regarded as the seat of
infection. All the cases are of a mild type.
Water Valley has been inspected and found
free of fever.
