PARIS PEACE COMMISSION
THE FERROUS STORIES RELATING
 TO ITS WORK.
Whenever They Assume to Indicate Failure Negotiations, Renewal of Hostilittes and the Despatch or Naval Force to the Spanish Coast They Are Purely SpecuIative-This Stated on Authority in Washington.

Are Purely SpecuIative-This Stated
 on Authority in Washington.
 on authority that the various stories
 relating to the work of the peace com
 mission now in Paris wherever they as- sume to indicate a failure of negotia-
 tions, a renewal of hostilities and the dispatch of a naval force to the Spanish
 coast, are purely speculative The commission has not progressed so far
 with it's work as to warrant the att
 tempt to draw a conclusion as to the
 outcome. It is not even possible to pre- dict accurately the length of the ses-
 sion. If the American commissioners
 are convinced that the negotiations are
 being conducted with sincerity on the part of the Spanish commission there
 will be no effort made to force them
 beyond reason. But if it should appear that the Spanish position is irreconcila-
 ble with the American demands and that the Spanish with knowledge of
 this are simply prolonging the proceed ings our commissioners are likely to be
 promptly recalled
 The Spanish government Is now fully
 informed of the exact extent of Ameri- ca's demands Whether these are ab-
 solute and not subject to abatement cannot be ascertained for the responsi-
 ble officials declare that it would be bad
 policy to make any admission on this point. But the impression in official
 circles is that the conditions are abso- lute in their general scope, while there may be opportunity for slight amend ments in details. As to these details Admiral Dewey is one of the most trusted counsellors of the American commissioners. Such information as he has been able to collect has been
 mailed to the commissioners and the authorities have cabled certain extracts from the admiraPs observations which are believed to be of special importance. It is believed that the admiral refrain ed from expressing any opinion as to the proper extent of the American de- mands in the matter of territory in the Philippines, but he has called attention to one very important consideration. That is, with all the advantages in a commercial way possessed by Manila, l the place is indefensible unless Subig Bay be also held by the United States. This particular bay is on the whole re- l garded as being superior from a strate- | gic point of view to Manila.

SUNDAYS WEST INDIAN CYCLONE.
Probable Now That One Hundred Lives
 Were Lost.

~
 Were Lost.
 Savannah Ga., Oct. 5.-News from the storm stricken districts along the coast is coming in gradually and it is probable that hundred lives have been lost. News by way of a boat which arrived to-day is that fifty peo- pie were drowned at Fennandina From Campbell Islands, inhabited by about forty colored people, 1t is reported that all but three were drowned. At Bruns- wick four people lost thir lives, and at Jesup, 100 miles from the coast, one man was killed in building blown down by the storm. At Sterling Sta- ton, Charles Wright, merchant. re- ports the disasters from the flood great to lives property in the rice field dis tricts of Glynn and Mcintosh. There are number of small islands at va- rious points around Brunswick, Fer .nandina and Darien, in which small groups of families live. It will be some days before accurate reports are heard from these points.
 At Darien the water is reported high and the-town badly damaged. There are many srumors of loss of life, but all of the reports thus far received are be- lieved to be exaggerated. The damage by wind and rain has been enormous. The damage to shipping is very great. Near Darien the schooner Blanche Hop- kins collided with small schooner, the Minnie, and sunk her. The Minnie had on board three thousand pounds of dy- namite. At Fernandina the tug Dinah is said to have landed in the middle of the town. The Cumberland Island pilot boat Maud Helen was landed high on 8 bluff in Burbanks' yard. The schooner Edna and Emma, with cargo of coal, is on shore at Jekyll Island, near Charleston. The Jekyl clubs launches landed in the clubhouse yard, and the water has destroyed considerable of the clubs property. From Sapelo Island, the national quarantine station, near Brunswick, nothing has been heard. On St. Simon's Island, along the beach, lined with summer resorts and cottages, the tide wrought devastation. Reports state that all the cottages have been wrecked. St. Simon's mills and other property on the opposite end of the is- land were protected by the timber lands.

 Bennington, Vt, Oct. 5.-The heav- jest and most destructive freshet in this section for many years is raging tonight. Rain began falling heavily Tuesday night and continued with lit- tie intermission for eighteen hours, the total precipitation being fully six inch- es. This afternoon the Otter river broke over it's channel sending a vast flood of water over the meadows near the Soldiers Home and continued most- ly along the highway for three or four miles toward North Bennington, talk ing away bridges and fences and wash ing it at points almost beyond repair. Five or six bridges on the Bennington and Woodford Electric railroad and long stretches of the roadbed are wash ed away. A supposedly strong iron bridge of Hoosac Valley electric rail- road was carried away.
 The Bennington and Rutland railroad lost a bridge at South Shaftsbury, seven miles from here, and no cars can be run north.

and rather led the life of Il hermit tie

ing TO another spring. and lying In the
woods not FAR from the path was his
body. His water jug and gourd were
by his side.
