searching for the SpaniR rtl n.

swift auxiliary cruisers are cruising the
ocean in serach of the Spanish fleet
these facts all point to the theory that
there Is to be union of the armored
ships under Admiral Sampson with those
under Commodore Schley at a point in
the ocean previously agreed upon, and
that the scouts are to report to them
there the location and direction of the
Spanish ships.
1t is not beleved.to be possible that the
Spanish ships will be able to avoid all
of the scouting vessels. As soon as Rear
Admiral Sampson learns the whereabouts
of the Spanish fleet and the direction in
which it is sailing, he can get under way
to intercept it, throwing his scouts out
IN front SO as to cover wide expanse
of sea and following with his armored
vessels in line of battle and ready to
give fight as soon as they come in con-
tact with the enemy.
Opinions differ somewhat in naval cir
cles as to the destination of the Spanish
fleet Many naval officers can scarcely
conceive it to be possible that the Span
ish admiral would be so rash as to bring
his vessels within reach of such an over
whelming force as that which Admiral
Sampson could bring against him. They
believe that if he has held westerly
course, he counts on being able to reach
Puerto Rico and get his vessels safely
into the harbor of San Juan before he
can be attacked by an overwhelming
American force.
When Nillami left st. Vincent the
American force vas divided. Rear Ad-
miral Sampson apparently was fully oc-
cupied with the blockade of Cuban ports
and the only vessels available to be sent
against him were those under Commodore
Schley.

SEVERE STORM IN THE WEST
Heavy Snow Fall, With Decided Drop in
Temperature.
Around the Lakes the Storm Assumed
the Character of a BIixzard-
Danger to Shipping.

CHICAGO, October 26-A wintry storm.
which was central over the southern end
of Lake Michigan, prevailed throughout
the northwestern states the past twenty
four hours. To the west of Chicago snow
fell to the depth of from two to eight
inches, and here and to the eastward there
was a heavy rain, which changed to a
heaVy wet snow at midnight
A nigh gale from the northwest whipped
the snow into raging blizzard at many
points. Telegraph wires were blown down
at some places and the telephone service
demoraiiZed Deep drifts which interrupt
ed street car traffic and threatened to i'm
pede railroad trains and paralyze business
placed some of the smaller cities in the
grip OF winter. Such severity Of weather
was entirely unexpected so early and has
brought suffering to stocks.
On the lakes the gale registered great
velocity. and in several instances PLAYED
havoc with shipping. For vessel men this
storm is The toughest of the season. DAN
ger signals are up all around Lakes Michi-
gan, Huron and Superior
AT several points on the lakes vessels
were reported in distress, and the crews
mad narrow escapes from drowning. In
Chicago harbor alone twenty-five vessels
put in for safety.
The force Of the storm was felt as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico Its effects at
diiieleHl were varied. and at night
fall the rain had been falling in the Ohio val
ley and in the central and lower Mississip-
pl valleys turned into snow and soon a gen.
uine winter blizzard was raging in those
parts of the country. When the snow start
ed the velocity of the wind increased In
some places the change in temperature
was so rapid as to be almost dangerous to
health. The greatest drop reported in the
south was at Abilene, Texas where the
mercury fell 26 degrees in a few hours
At Sprir gfield, ILL.,, and Springfield Mo-,
the temperature dropped 2S degrees during
the afternoon: at Davenport and Dubuque
Iowa, 26 degrees, and at Chicago, % de-
grees.
The lowest temperature at these places
was as follows: Dubuque, 80 degrees
Springfield, Ill, 80; Springfield, Mo-, 80;
Davenport 80; Chicago, 81; Abilene, So
The rainfall In this section so far this
month is one inch more than the normal
for October.
Worst in Years at Renton Harbor
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, October 26-
The worst storm in twenty-five years is
