ANOTHER GERMAN "PLoT."
the KaIser's Intentions Regarding
the Philippines.

San Francisco Sept 94.--The Post
prints an article in which it makes
known the plans of the Germans in
regard to the disposition of the Philip.
pines The details of this plot on the
part of the government are furnished
by gentleman high in the opinion of
government officials of both this coun-
try and Germany. The same gentle
man now states that the German en-
peror is endeavoring to embitter the
followers of Aguinaldo against the
Americans, and that he has officers
in their ranks secretly drilling
them. The gentleman in question
says that this has been going ON for
years and, prior to the interference of
the United States in Philippine af-
fairs, almost every German vessel that
landed there carried one or more Off
GERS in disguise and stacks of arms and
ammunition for the insurgents. The
Posts informant has just received
letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg, giving the
details of Germany's future plan
in regard to these islands. The
plan is as follows: Germany will send
numerous trading vessels to the islands
and will arm 100000 Filipinos, beside
furnishing Krupp guns and artillery
for field use. The islanders are to be
thoroughly drilled by German officers,
and by February Senior Aguinaldo will
be prepared to make an onslaught on
the American forces.

little only because Of It's short duration, but
great on account OF tho principles defended

noble soldiers who fell in the struggle which

People OF Cuba, we owe debt to those heroes
for their efforts in behalf of Cuban independ-
ence-efforts which would have been useless,
no, not useless for we have triumphed but
not speedily effective-if the American people
with It's famous fighters, great ships and
dauntlessar army had not sent its own sons TO shed
their blood with ours, A grand nation 1t must be,
when the sons Of milllonaires, who had nothing
TO gain in Cuba but o soldiers glory, should
come here to die side by side with Cubans no
this great nation-to this noble country which
has always fought for the rights OF liberty-we
owe the achievement OF our independence and
the consummatlon Of our ideals Our gratitude
will long live for America

THREE ISLANDS IN RUINS.
Early Stories OF tho Awful Destruction
Wrought by West Indian Hurricane
Made More Dreadful by Later News.


Kingston, Jamaica, Sept 24--Mail
Rdvices brought melancholy relief to
the suspense regarding the full ex-
tent of the hurricane disaster at the
islands of St Vincent, st. Lucia and
Barbados, showing that the first ac-
counts were not exaggerated. AT
st. Vincent about 800 lives have
been lost, not counting the loss
of life suffered through the de-
struction OF shipping. The coast
is strewn with wrecks of vessels,
many of which were from Barbados.
At the capital, Kingston, fully 200
houses were demolished, while the
suburbs, CoXheath and Monte Bello
were obliterated. Cloudbursts from
the mountains swept much of the
ruins into the sea, as we'll as several
dead and injured persons. The fol-
lowing towns and villages were de-
stroyed: Rose Place, Grand Sable, Ar
nosvale, Mount Pleasant, Argyle,
Wallilabo, Parrorallio, Layon and
Buccament, and the second city,
Georgetown, was considerably DAM
aged.
The hurricane struck the island of
Barbados on the night of the 10th,
completely wrecking that fat, exposed
island, and sweeping away 10000
houses, while damaging thousands
more. 1t left three-quarters of the in
habitants homeless. Over 100 people
we're killed. The total estimated
damage, besides the loss from the cane
crop and provisions, is about 81, 500, 900
nj barbados.
