Hundreds of Villages Swept Away
and Thousands Of People
Drowned.

VANCOUVER, Oct. 20.-Disastrous
typhoons, sand storms and floods have

erty in the Orient.

Feng in Japan, hundreds of villages
have been swept away, and 5000 people
have been drowned.
Another report says 25O towns are
under water. Thousands of refugees

PUT A BULLET INTO HIS BRAIN
An Unknown Man Commits Suicide
at Omaha.

OMAHA, Oct 20-An unknown man
has committed suiside at the Public Lii
brary here under mysterious circum-
stances.
Everything points to the fact that he
had secreted himself in the building the
night before with the intention of rob-
bing the priceless collection of coins of
the Byron Reed donation. When de-
| lection and capture confronted him. he
coolly placed a revolver to his temple
and fired a bullet into his brain. When
the watchman rushed upon the scene
the man was dead.
The body appears to be that of a man
of culture. There is nothing by which
it might be identified. He was evident
ly a Russian, and some slight marks on
the clothes would seem to indicate that
he was nobleman. The police believe
the man was a visitor at the exposition
who possessed technical knowledge, and
was, perhaps, collector of rare coins
himself. Recognizing the value Of the
treasure, separated from him only by
the glass case, he determined to seize
1t, and for that purpose visited the IL
brary in the evening and secreted him
self ready for the work Early in the
morning the watchman noticed the
burglar alarms leading to the Reed col
lection ringing violently. An investiga-
ton followed, and then the suicides
weapon exploded and the man fell dead
IN the hall in front of the watchman.
The door leading to the Reed collec-
ton had been tampered with This is
the fourth time burglars have attempt
ed to rob this collection. The thousands
OF gold coins of all nations it includes
represents large fortune, to which is
added the value of the coins as rare
specimens and complete sets of the
specie of all nations
The Coroner is investigating the case
The suicide was a large, fine looking
man. He was not seen around the
building previously and the police can
learn nothing concerning him. He was
probably 40 years old, but there was
nothing in his pockets to indicate his
identity.
The name John Schmidt was found
written on the margin of a small map
of Europe found in one of his pockets
The map was torn from a Russian
geography. A pair of sun glasses, the
case of which bore the label Riga, Rus
sia, was also found. On the corner of
pocket handkerchief in red silk were
embroidered the letters u K. p"
The dead man, from the cut of his
clothing, had not been in this country
long. From the appearance of his wear
ing apparel and his general appeara nee
he was above the ordinary station of
life.

SANTIAGO NAVAL BATTLE.
Positions Of Warships During De
struction Of Cervera's Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The report
of the Wainwright board, convened for
the purpose Of determining the posi-
tions and courses of the ships engaged
in the action at Santiago July Sd, was
made public to-day. 1t shows in detail
the positions at various times of the
vessels engaged in the fight.
The tracings on charts which accom-
pany the report show that the Spanish
vessels sailed on courses not more than
three-tenths of a mile apart until the
Oquendo ran ashore. Then the Vizcaya
veered out to sea, and the Colon kept
nearer the shore, their courses being
about seven-tenths of a mile apart
Up to the time the Oquendo went
ashore the Iowa, Indiana, Oregon and
Texas sailed on courses within three
tenths of a mile of each other. the Iowa
being the nearest and the Texas the
farthest from the Spanish vessels
The Brooklyns course was from
threetenths to one half of a mile out
side that of the Texas. The swing to
the right which the Brooklyn made at
the beginning of the engagement shows
an oval four-tenths of a mile across
She crossed the courses of the Texas
Oregon and Indiana twice while making
the turn, but before these vessels had
gone over them.
The course of the New York after
passing Morro was nearer the shore
than any other United States vessel
except the Gloucester and a mile be-
hind where the Oquendo turned to run
ashore she passed inside the courses Of
the Spanish ships. Ten miles west of
the Vizcaya disaster she crossed the

Navy Department show that it is alb
surd to speak of an insurgent navy
seriously, for the entire force consists
of few schooners and one or two lit
tie coasting steamers, altogether not
being a match for the least of the yes
sells under Dewey's command
The explanation of the Admirals IN
reference with these vessels in their
operations is desire on his part 10
maintain the status quo in the Philip
pines pending the conclusion Of the
Peace Commissions work in Paris. 1t
is said here that it is not surprising
that the Spanish Cabinet is trying to
make much of this incident, that can
be twisted into a demonstration or
actual hostilities between the American
forces in the Philippines and the in
surgents, for that would make ground
to- assist in the contention they are sure
tO put forward when the Philippines
come under consideration before the
Paris Peace Commission, that the UNI
ted States forces have never been aple
to take possession of and hold this ter
ritory outside of Manila proper. Under
the rules of international law such
point would be entitled to serious con-
sideration in determining what dispo-
sition should be made of the territory.
ANARCHY IN SOUTHERN PHILIP

Reports have reached here of a terri
BILE state of anarchy in the southern
Philippines. The Spaniards there are

The Americans continue capturing
the rebel vessels as they arrive at Ca

BosToN, MASS July Is, 1898.
Last weeks important events appeared
to have no influence at all upon the stock
merxet, despite the fact that the war
with Spain was brought 80 much nearer
to an end by the surrender OF the Spanish
commander at Santiago. Stock market
operators have been discounting the sue
cess OF the American arms ever since the
beginning Of the struggle, and each sue
cessive victory adds nothing more to
what has been anticipated. Possible
future events have more effect upon the
stock market and fears OF what might
happen are more.poteDt than facts, how
eyer. favorable.
Thus the presence OF yellow fever in the
army is egarded a. a terrible epidemic
