TRANSPORTS SAIL TOMORROW.
More Troops and Supplies Will Go to
Manila

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The Scandal
loaded medical supplies today and the
work of rushing aboard the govern
ment stores is going on as actively as
ever The troops to sail on the Arizona
will go aboard tomorrow, and the
transports will sail for the Philippines
on Monday The fresh meat and the
last of the stores were being hurried
aboard the big transport, and judging
from the manner in which the work
was being done there is no doubt that
the troops will leave for Manila, de-
spite the ending of the war.
Captain Game and a detachment of
Utah volunteers started for the Yo-
semitic reservation today, where they
will do guard duty this summer.
1t is announced tonight that the or
der for the sailing of troops for Ma
Mia on the transports Scandal and Ari-
IONA has been countermanded. The
transports will sail for the Philippines
on Monday, as scheduled, but they will
carry only stores, consisting of medf-
cal. commissary and quarterpaster's
property.

Tennessee Community Swept Away
BY Flood.
CAME WITHOUT WARNING
WHOLE FAMILIES WERE SWEPT
AWAY AND DROWNED.
One Man Lost Wife and Five Children
-Deluge of Water Carried With
It Every Human Being Within
Its Reach-Thousands Of Dollars
Worth of Property Destroyed.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. ia terrible
cloudburst, in which at least 20 lives
are known to have been sacrificed, was
last night visited upon the community
of Beach Creek, about Is miles north
of Rogersville, Tenn, which place is
so miles distant from Knoxville. The
torrent of water fell in the vicinity of
the home of William Figan, well-to-
do farmer, and his entire family, wife
and five children, were drowned and
washed away with the flood. Figan,
however, escaped. The deluge of water
carried with it every other human be-
ing within its reach. but the only
names of the lost reported here up to
late hour tonight, in addition to the
Figan family, are John Arnold and
Samuel Henry and wife. These people
resided within a quarter of mile of
the Figan home.
This information was received il this
city by friends of the deceased. Search
ing parties have been formed, and are
tonight looking for the bodies of the
unfortunate who persisted in the flood.
It is. however, feared that they have
been carried to graves from which they
may never be recovered.
The cloudburst destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of property.
Whole crops were washed away, and
palatial homes suffered the same faye
as the humblest hut in the path of the
food.
1t has been impossible to communi-
cate with the stricken community from
this city on account of the fact that all
wire communication has been inter-
rupted. The complete details of the
catastrophe are, however, expected by
tomorrow night, coming by mail. The
reports received up to a late hour to-
night make it the most terrible affair
of its kind experienced in this section
for many years.

Montserrat.
Commodore Watson was communi-

head Blanco off.
Admiral Sampson at once decided to
go TO the western extremity of Jamaica
to intercept Blanco should he attempt
to escape in that direction. The flag
ship made 16 knots an hour, despite
the foulness of her bottom, and arrived
off Jamaica yesterday morning and
cruised.
Thursday evening Commodore Wat

go to the southern blockading line and
warn the ships of the rumored escape
of Blanco. While leaving the harbor,

Vixen was sent after the New York

afternoon.
Admiral Sampson has inspected the

probably a week or more. Lighters
are to be procured at Santiago.

PECULIAR SUIT DECIDED.
Man Wanted to Aid An Open Air
Fund

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 13-7A very
peculiar suit was decided here today
by Judge Clark of the Superior court.
Some time ago Max Werner, a German
who was possessed of considerable
property and who spent his time in
hunting, made will during his initia-
ton into a lodge of Masons. He died
six months ago and it was found that
the will left one-third of his estate,
about $4,000, to the open air fund of
New York City. There is no such in
stitution. The court today decided
that the money should go to the New
York Tribune's Fresh Air Fund and
Aid society. = ~.

DEATH OF YOUNG LEWIS.

Lieutenant Briant H. Wells has written
Morgan d. Lewis, a leading hotel man
of this city, of the death OF the latter
son, Lieutenant Louis Lewis, before san
tiago. Lieutenant Wells says IN his let
ter:
..On the 1st day of July my regiment
was hurrying along what IS known IN
the Cuban country as HelIs lane, on its
way TO the front. l saw by the side of
the road, with mis- face turned up TO
heaven. your SON.. He was dead, and
turning him over, tears courslng down
his cheeks, was Lieutenant j. c. Nc
Farther, Second infantry, whom l hastily
Joined. The three of us were classmates al
West Point, where everybody loved
Lewis. 1t was raining bullets in that ter
rible place, and the regiments were NOV
ing forward rapidly, so that the services
we held over your poor boys body were
as short as they were affectlonate. Inc
next day l was wounded myself, and on
the way back from the front to the hos
pital. l had the men carrying me stop
where 1 had last seen Lewis, but he was
gone. Some one, L am sure, mad gwen
him burial. l enclose a pocketbook, which
Macarthur took out of your sons blouse.
War is terrible and upon you it has
fallen with great force, but surely II must
be a satisfaction and a comfort TO be the
father of one who loved his country I'M
selfishly, whose disposition was sunshine
around those who knew him, ana VINO,
in spite of the bright future before him
had he lived, was not afraid to die where
duty called him.
