GREAT LOSS OF LIFE

West Indian Hurricane

The hurricane OF Sunday was undouhted
u the worst visitation of the kind experi-
enced by the West Indies during the CEN
tury. both in violence and extent The bur-
ricatne swept along the island chain. from
Barbados westward TO St Vincent and
thence northwest to St. Kits. where il
was last heard from.
Barbados suffered mostly from the rain
which destroyed the crops and roads. as if
did at ST. Lucia and other islands. while
the Center OF the storm swept St Vincent
and GUadaloUpe- Details received from 81
incent show that an unparalleled destruc-
tlOn OF life and property has taken place
there Out of Z population of IL 600
Bp were killed and 3r.pU were in
Jured and rendered homeless Resides on
account of the destruction Of the pr,,,i-
sions, they are all starving. The island
has been absolutely gated by the wind
and Hood from the mountainous addtti1,s
to the waves along the coast.
There has been great loss to the shin
ping along the track of the cyclone.

clothing and other necessarics were lost
in the destruction. No details of the work

THE DISTRICTDIVISIONL LAW

Sc little has been heard of the local di-
vision of the League of American Wheel
men during the present season that good
many imagine the organization to be dead
SO far as this city is concerned. Nothing
has been heard of its meeting and some
of the members or rather former members
have complained that the usual custom has
not been followed, and that they have not
received the regular notices of the expira-
ton of their membership cordially request
ing their renewal.
The only sign that the organization was
in existence has been the periodical an
rouncements of the road consul, promulgat-
ing schedule of runs for certain period.
With the membership that the local divis-
ION enjoys the attendance on these runs
is entirely disproportionate
AT the close of the last year the mem
bership reached highwater mark, consid-
erably over 500, it is understood. At pres
ent the membership of the division is only
ABOUT 90, possible little more, and I'M
less something is done by the time the an
nuai election Is held the membership may
90 below the 800 mark According to the
ofhciaI bulletin of the organ, few names
nave been added to the list the present
year. While the renewals are perhaps not
in the proportion they should be-
1t is claimed that the steps of the off,
Gals of the organization in securing the
adoption of the four-inch drop handle bar
ponce regulation have done considerable
harm to the organization. 1t is also as
serted that few Of the promises made by
the division officials have been kept. 1t is
true that road book was compiled and
published, and that some circulars We're
printed advertising the league. The plac-
ing of sign boards and caution signs at the
different roads has not been carried out as
contemplated A number. of other minor
Things tending to promote interest in the
organization in particular and cycling in
general nave never gone into effect. In
fact, 1t is claimed, that nothing has been
done since the alleged league century run
last fall, which, perhaps. caused more dis
satisfaction than didathe5 four-inch drop
police regulation.
Despite the apparent inactivity the an
nual election of officers of the local di-
vision will, according to the rules, be held
between October Is and NaNember il. Cen
orally the election is ReareT, the latter date.
AT the last election lit was practically
agreed or announced that 5he coming year
change would be made Ia the manner of
eiectinS, and that instead of having a
meeting at night a plaza he selected where
voting could be done sfuring the day. So
far there does not appear to be any in
terest at al in the election of the officials
AS few are aware o. the present officers
of the local division, the full list is given:
Chief consul, w. Robertson; vice COIL
sui, w. K. LarrimOre: secretary-treasurer,
Charles E. Wood; member of finance COM
mittee, Clarence Corson; representatives,
E. Z. Simpson, Aleck Girard William Get
finger and Jacobus S. Jones' These con-
others to be filled being appointive offices
within the of the chief consul.

MEAT NOT FIT TO BE USED
Soldiers at Santiago Lose Forty Per Cent Of

Men Sicken for Letters From Home
Thieyish Cubans Refuse to Work

Santiago advices last night conveyed the
following news:
Contrary TO reports that seem to have
been circulated in the United States, rep
resenting that the American soldiers were
dying of starvation at Santiago-reports
that elected an INQUIRY from the War De
partment regarding the matter-the troops
here have ample supplies of every kind,
except that in some instances the fresh
meat supply has been unsatisfactory.
The fact is that the meat sent here IN
refrigerator ships owing 10 the delay in
unloading becomes more or less tainted
before it can be used 1t is estimated that
al least 4O per cent is quite useless. Less
than half the meat issued to Colonel Hood
regiment has been tit to eat. and. naturally,
there has been some complaint.
Near Santiago are great fields of pas
turage, and the United States government
would DO we'll to send live beeves here in
stead of contract meat. The cost would be
less and the satisfaction far greater.

SUNLIGHT KILLED HIM.
Willie Sautter Taken From His Cell
lar Home Died in COnvuIsions.

From the New York Herald, Today.
Willie Sautter, the twelye-year-oId son of
Charles Sautter, who keeps a drug store at
Bedford avenue and South 9TH street. Will
Harrisburg, who was lifelong sufferer from
spinal meningitis, and was compelled to live
in cellar, died in Dobbs Ferry last Sun
day morning at O'clock The BOYS case
was a remarkable one and attracted wide
attention.
He was an invalid almost from his birth
and was subject to violent spasms. He
could not stand the sunlight or open air
His father, whe is wealthy, and who was
devoted to him, his only son, had the most
celebrated physicians in the city treat him
At their suggestion Mr.. Sautter fitted I'D
the cellar under the drug store over which
he and his family lived, for the boys play
room.
The cellar was enlarged and richly fur
nlshed with everything the boy could de-
sire. gymnasium also was put in il
Every sort of plaything was provided, and
every moment of time the father could
spare from his business was passed in this
unique room with his boy. Willie was han
Ply and seemed to thrive in his surround
ings.
This cellar was a marvel to residents of
Williamsburg. 1t was fitted I'D with tanes-
try and brilliantly lighted with electricity.
In each of the hooks and corners were brio
a-brac, and handsome paintings adorned
the walls Medically the treatment was
that of dryness and freedom from the sums
rays.
The boys condition improved very ma
terially. He frequently passed hours in the
store in the daylight without apparent
harm So well did he appear that Mr. Saut
ter determined to see what country air
would do for him.
He accordingly took the boy to Dobbs
Ferry last Saturday, where he left him
the best of health. In the afternoon how
ever, he had a spasm which lasted four
hours he no sooner recovered from this
than he had another. which lasted two
hours, at the end of which time he died
He was buried in Mount Hope cemetery.
