INUNDATED BY TIDAL WAVE.
Every Business House in Brunswiek, Ga,
Has Five Feet of Water Around 1t
Great Damage Elsewhere.

brunswick, Ga, Oct. 4.-During the
tropical hurricane of Sunday, a tidal
wave was driven in from the sea and
inundated. for an average depth of five
feet, practically every business house
and warehouse in the city. Conserva.
| tive estimates place the property loss
at $500, 600. though when the details
are ali in the figures may be consider
ably shaded either way. The Mallory
steamship and South railroad docks
were under water four feet In the
residence section of the city, the water
was from two to eight feet deep. There
was a full sweep of wind and water
from the ocean into and across the
city. Two fatalities in Brunswick and
one few miles out of the city have
been reported. Those in the city
were negro children. Their parents
are missing and may have been
drowned. a few miles out of town,
Steritt Aiken, colored, was killed by
falling bricks blown from a chimney.
Meager reports from the Sea islands,
On the coast, are far from reassuring.
AT Jeltyl island, where the club houses
of New York millionaires are situated,
much damage has been done. Dix
vile, a uburb of Brunswick, inhabited
by negroes, was inundated and the de-
struction is almost il complete. No lives
were lost there. Five vessels are
ashore in Brunswick harbor. two be-
ing the Norwegian barks Record and
Louise, one an American schooner and
two valuable pilot boats. On the
docks are hundreds of thousands of
feet of lumber and cross ties and
naval stores which will be washed
away. Nearly all the docks suffered
from lifting. While the water was do
ing its damage underneath the wind
was playing havoc overhead.
Several fronts of brick buildings
were blown partly out and the rain
poured through in torrents. Every
church in the city was damaged either
by water or wind. All electric wires
were prostrated. Fires in locomotives
in ana near the city were put out by
the driving sheets of water. The loss
to railroads has been considerable

terminal property. Communication

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct TT is the
well-grounded and almost unanimous
opinion of the medical staff of the

condition of the volunteer forces here
necessitate their removal north. Sick

of the troops are on the sick list
This, however, does not mean that
there is an effective strength of

from the hospitals as fit for duty are
