PECUNIARY LOSS IS HEAVY.
Rice and Cotton Crop in the Vicinity of Sa-
vannah, Ga, Was Badly Damaged
by Wednesdays Storm.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 2--While Sa-
vannah suffered heavily from the cy-
clone which swept over this section of
the coast Wednesday morning, the
damage on the coast islands and the
interior as far as the storm reached is
probably greater.
The flooded condition of the coun-
try renders communication difficult
and in many sections it is entirely cut
off and no news has been received to
indicate what the conditions are.
. The first news from the Carolina
Sea islands, which. were the scene of
the great tidal storm of 1898 in which
thousands of persons persisted, was re-
ceived Friday. While the storm was
nothing like that of five years ago the
loss is heavy. The beaches north of
Ty bee are lined with wrecks of small
craft and at Bluffton and the other
small settlements all the houses were
unroofed and many were destroyed.
The Norwegian bark Bagna, which
went ashore on Gaskin bank, was a
total wreck Friday The captain and
crew were saved. The bark Noe, III
attempting to rescue the crew of which
Lieut.. Morgan and one of his compan-
ions lost their lives, has about disap-
peared.
Small steamers have patrolled Gala
bogue sound all day searching for the
bodies of the heroic rescuers, but they
have not been recovered.
The loss to the rice crop on the Sa-
vannah river alone is estimated at
100000 to $3.50, OOO Three-fourths OF
the crop has been destroyed.
The loss to planters between Savan-
nah and Augusta will run into the
hundreds of thousands.
A heavy flood is reported in the up.
per Savannah river and messengers
were sent out from here Friday night
to warn planters of its approach.
The cotton crop in the counties ad
joining Savannah is practically ruined

operations in Cuban waters. This
may seem a remarkable statement, but
it is positive fact that dispatch boats
were to DE hurried to meet Cervera
and order him to the Philippines
Plans for coal and supplies had been
carefully laid to meet this emergency.
But Cervera, taking matters into his
own hands, instead of following the
course prescribed leading to Havana,
deliberately locked himself up in San
tiagos
The dispatch boats hunted in vain
for the feet and the naval board found
itself helpless. Thus it was that Ca
mara's nondescript feet was hurriedly
prepared to do what had been planned
for Cervera's more effective squadron.
The Spanish had planned to keep Ca
mara'S feet at home for defense The
Watson bluff ruined this last effort to
reach Manila Adm. Cervera will be
called before a Spanish court of naval
inquiry and asked to ex-
plain why he disobeyed orders.
French naval authorities say that Ger
vera will undou btedly be found guilty
and will be degraded The whole
story gives a curious insight into the
seeming lack of executive force at
Madrid, and shows that the authorities
at the last moment recognized the
hopelessnesst of accom- plishing any,
thing in American waters 1t throws
the first light on the Spanish naval Sit
uation at most critical, oment of
the campaign. -

WENT TO WATERY GRAVES.
Seekers Drowned in Presque Isle
Bay, Erie, Pa.

ERIE, Pa, Sept. 3.-By the accidental
jibing of the sail of a pleasure yacht
on Presque Isle bay Friday evening
four young women were swept off into
the water and drowned before assist
ance could be rendered them. Their
names are: Mary, Della and Ella Para
dine, daughters of VIM. Paradine, an
Erie machinist; and Jessie Moore,
daughter of John II. Moore, an engi-
neer of the Erie & Pitts burgh railroad
The unfortunate girls formed por-
ton of a party of pleasure-seekers who
were enjoying a sail upon the yacht
Carmencita The boat had but a few
moments before departed from the
head of the bay, sailing free before a
light but puffy wind The four girls
named were seated, upon the roof
of the yachts cabin when a sudden
puff of wind coming down from the
wooded shore, an unexpected direc-
ton, the sail jibed, sweeping the four
off into the water. AS quickly as pos
sible the yacht was put about, but
what with the Roadway obtained and
the light wind it was impossible to
re ach the spot in time to save any of
the girls. The bodies have not yet
been recovered.

Boston, Sept. 3.-Amid the greatest
enthusiasm from thousands, both
afloat and ashore, a feet of nine war
ships fresh from hard fighting in Cuba,
headed by the stately Massachusetts,
sailed up the harbor Friday afternoon
and quietly dropped anchor off the
wharves, salutes only being fired in
honor of Commodore HOwison, of the
navy yard, and as Gov .Wolcott left for
the shore.
Friday night the officers in their
best uniforms came ashore and with
Gov. Wolcott and Mayor Quincy held

On Cervera's Return to Spain He May
Be COurt-Martialed.
He Was Ordered From Martinique to Ha-
vans, But Instead He Went to Santi-
ago de Cuba and Locked His
Fleet in the Harbor.

PARIS, Sept. From a responsible
diplomatic source it is learned that
Adm. Cervera will be court-martialed
upon his return to Spain and in all
probability severely reprimanded or
degraded in the service. This action
will undoubtedly arouse the chivalrous
sympathy of Americans against the
Spanish ministry. The trial of Ger
vera, however, is not merely a cloak
to hide the administrative weakness of
Spain in the late war
The Spanish commission, which cor
responded to the war board at Wash
ingtOn, had prepared a definite plan of
campaign. Adm. Cervera was ordered
to proceed to Martinique, where he
was informed of the position of Samp-
sons ships. From Martinique he was
ordered to Havana by certain course
On which he could be reached at sew
sral points by dispatch and supply
ships. All went well accord
ing to the plan up to Ger
vera's departure from Martinique
No sooner had the Cape Verde
fleet left Martinique than the Spanish
board realized the futility of any naval

PARIS, Sept. 2.-The Echo says there
lis reason to believe that the minister
of justice has taken steps toward or
dering a new trial for ex-Capt. Drey-
fuS
1t is significant, the paper adds, that
Lieut.. Col. Henry committed suicide
shortly after being visited by an Off
Ger of the general staff, who, after
prolonged stay, ordered the sentry at
the door not to disturb Henry, as be
the departure of the officer Hen
ry must have written his fare
well letters, including kilograms
addressed to Gen. Boiadeffre and NJ. Ca
vaignac, minister of war, and then cut
his throat. An officer of high rank is
authority for the Statement that NJ.
Cavaignac is convinced that Henry did
mot initiate the forgery of the fabricat-
ed letter, and every effort will be made
to discover his accomplices.
1t is rumored that the arrest of
Lieut. Col Patty de Clam is imminent,
and there is also widespread belief
that a majority of the officers of the
general staff will resign.
Later in the day La Patrie an
nounced that Col. Patty de Clam had
been arrested for completely in the
Dreyfus forgery.
PARIS, Sept. at is now insinuated
that the suicide of Lieut.. Col Henry,
the chief of the intelligence depart
ment of the French minister for war,
was connived at by the French army
authorities. In any case, the sui
eide occurred shortly after the
prisoner had received a visit
from an officer of the general staff,
who, on leaving, ordered the sentry
on duty before Col. Henry's place of
confinement not to disturb the prison
err, as he had lot of work to do. 1t
is recalled that similar opportunity
to commit suicide was afforded to
Dreyfus, who, however, declined to
profit by it.
PARIS, Sept. 2-The Dreyfus case
presents no new features but there is
"a plen tiful supply of rumors. The first
of these is that Dreyfus is dead, no let
ter having been received from him for
some weeks.
Another report is that Gen. Boisdef-
fire, who has just resigned the post of
chief of the general staff, has COM
'mitted suicide Both these rumors are
undoubted ly without foundation. Col.
Patty du Clam is on vacation trip in
Switzerland and there is no confirma-
he had been arrested for com plicity in
the Henry forgery.

Capt. Dreyfus

New YORK, Sept. 2-The Evening
Journals Paris dispatches have this
TO say of the suicide of Col Henry:
THE way out of the world was
made easy for him. Apparently he
was not searched when taken to the
prison, for it is on good authority that
he carried the razor in his satchel. He
can tell no more now. 1t is
charged that the government asked
him point-blank TO commit suicide,
saying it was the best way to avoid
the terrible scandal which must fol-
low his confession, and which would
tarnish the honor of the French army
ultimately Henry did as persuaded
and now many secrets will be buried
with him in his grave"

MINEEXPLOSION
A Vessel, While Removing Explosives,
Badly Damaged.
Column of Water Hurled so Feet Into
the Air and Debris Blown Several
Hundred Feet High--work
to Be Abandoned.

NEW WILLIAMS, OeDL IA rOrC SCs
Philip special to the Picayune says:
When the John r. Meigs had her
forecastle blown off there were six
men hurled by the shock into the
Mississippi river who never came
to the surface. Three others were
thrown into the river but were
not so badly injured as to
prevent their climbing back upon the
boat. Contrary to the advices re-
ceived Saturday night the Meigs did
not sink Immediately. Disabled as she
was, she was carried by the tide and
stiff wind to the east bank where
her stern grounded and her bow
swung out and pointed down
stream. Nearly everything of value
had been recovered before she lurched
off the bank on which her stern rested
and plunged bow foremost into the
| deep water of the channel. The men
hurle to death by the dynamite never
saw the mine that exploded. The
shock came when it was several feet
beneath the surface.
The six men killed were: Capt p. r.
Starr, of Vicksburg; Sergt John New
man, Willett's Point n. Y; Private
Pat Carloe, from the same place; Fire
man j. D. Malone; Ralph Rogers, col
ored; Harry Jackson, colored.
The wounded were D. B. Reddicl1s
and Fritz Koch. They are here in the
hospital. Pilot J. c. Davis was at the
wheel at the time of the explosion and
the flying fragments of the torpedo
and the shattered steel deck tore the
pilot house to pieces. Mr.. Davis,
however escaped unhurt. Lieut.
Henry Jervey was within a few
feet of the pilot house and he
too, was fortunate enough to escape
unhurt. Night Waterman Frank
Coape, asleep in his cabin on the boiler
deck, was awakened by the crash to
find himself in a hole gaping in the
roof and his bed damned against the
wall by piece of the steel deck. He
climbed out through the hole.
Lient. Jervey and Pilot Harris
were also on the boiler deck.
D. B. Reddicks was blown into the
river. A piece of steel went
through his right forearm and another
tore off piece of his scalp. Engineer
Layne was blown into the river and
escaped injury. There were 10 people
in the boat when the explosion oc'
Cured. The explosion occurred about
eleven o'clock. 1t was noon when the
Meigs sank. Her entire. forecastle
was blown off and nothing but her
water tight compartments prevented
her immediate sinking.
A column of water was hurled SO
feet high into the air and debris
blown several hundred feet high.
Portions of the torpedo and steel
deck fell on the bank in front OF
Fort. ST. Philip 1900 feet from the
scene of the wreck
Maj Quinn arrived at Fort st.
Philip at o'clock. He stated
that no more torpedoes would be taken
up. The work will be abandoned
There are 10 still in the water Maj
Quinn and Lieut.. Jervey agree that
the accident is inexplicable. 1t was
impossible for the torpedo to explode.
The torpedo did explode. And that is
the way they summarize the situation.
