TERRIBLE GALE SOUTH.
No Loss of Life But Great Damage to
Property.

Atlanta, Ga, August 3l.-The journal
has the following despatch from SaVan-
nah, Ga, sent from that city this morn
ing by train and put on the wires at
Millen:
Since eleven O'Clock last night Sayan'
nah has been in the teeth of seething
gale. So far as can be learned no lives
were lost in the gale. that is, directly in
the city. The adjoining islands are to be
heard from. Communication with Tybee,
Georgia's seaside resort, cannot be had at
this hour. There are about 500 people at
Tybee, many of whom are United States
troops.
Savannah presents a terrible appear
ance. Roofs of houses are scattered
through the streets and in our public
squares wires Of the telephone, telegraph,
electric light and street cer systems make
the streets impossible. The loss to
property will be fully $4,000 The rice
crop will suffer especially.
There must be much suffering on the
island near Savannah, inhabited by
negroes. Their habitations are rude
huts. These could not have stood against
last nights wind and when an inyestiga-
tion comes, it will be found no doubt
that many of these planters are dead.
Charleston reports terrific downpour
of rain but no damage.

outside commission to be composed Of
foreign arbitrators, or to commission of
three composed Of one from the United

taken up by the arguments of the lum-
bermen from the United States. The

GARCIA BIAS RESI- GNED.

Santiago de Cuba, August Si.-Gen.
LaWtof,. the commander of the American
troops in the province of Santiago. re.
ceived advices from most reliable sources
this morning that the Cuban government
had relieved Major General Calixto Garcia
from the command of the Cdean troops
in the eastern part of the island. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will be succeeded By
Gen. Lacret.
Gen. Lawton understands that the re-
lease OF Gen. Garcia was due to his sulky
conduct toward the Americans, caused
by Gen. Skaters refusal to allow the
Cuban troops to enter Santiago. which
furnished bad example for the Cuban
soldiers, majority of whom at this end
of the island are not pleased by the ex-
elusive occupation of Santiago and Guam
tanamo and the administration of the
government hy the Americans.

OF Minister of War.
Paris, August 31.-Lieut. Col. Henry
who was arrested for forging an Inn
portant letter used in connection with
the Dreyfus trial has committed suicide
| by cutting his throat with razor he had
concealed in his valise.
| During the recent Zola trial Henry ac-
cused Col. Picquart of falsifying tele-
grams. A duel followed in which Henry
was wounded.
The next scene occurred in the Chamber
of Deputies where Col. Picquart pro-
claimed the letter forgery and as re-
suit was arrested while Henry's villainy
was rewarded by his being appointed Col.
Picquart's successor in the intelligence
department..
1t Is now evident that Henry forged the
ing Col. Picquart's efforts to expose
Major Count Esterhazy and to get re-
hearing of the Dreyfus case. The letter
was written in bad French, fact which
first led it to be regarded as spurious 1t

that he would have an apopletio stroke.

ceeded to his bedroom to get the necessary
clothing. Henry then clasped his wifo in
his arms and exclaimed: "My conscience

This exclamation is much commented
upon. as going to show that he may pos
