THE STORM DAMAGE

In Porto nico is not yet Fully Known.
Rivers Still swollen and Communication
Impossible.
NEW YORK, August ia dispatch
to the Herald from San Juan says:
Communication with the distressed
districts is still only partly open.
Arecibo was devastated by the hurri-
cane and later was flooded by the Are
cibo and Manati rivers. Two hundred
bodies have already been recovered,
and hundreds more are missing. 1t is
thought they were swept into the sea.
The town was inundated TO depth
Of six feet. The town is now rapidly
filling up with starving persons from
the country. Only four soldiers were
drowned, liut all are without shelter.
Capt McComb and his men did val
liant service in saving life. Forty per-
sons were rescued from floating wreck
age. A thousand head of cattle were
lost there.
At Naranzatio two persons are known
to have been killed. thousand are
homeless. Meretus is destroyed. At
GALES twenty persons were killed.
Many are missing at Barcelonita. Sew
en- residents were killed. At Cayey
the death roll is at least 80.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
of life and property in the country dis
tricts. Every river is still swollen and
passage is we'll nigh impossible.
The crops are totally destroyed.
Children are dying bJfhundreds from
starvation and exposure.
All the people are focking to Bay
anon for food and shelter.
A courier has just arrived here from
Yabucoa. He says that the town was
demolished by the storm. Already
eighty bodies have been recovered, and
it is estimated that 200 persons are
wounded. Medical assistance is scarce
in all parts of the'isIand. What makes
the present distress greater is the fact
that a month ago all public improve
ments were stopped owing to the lack
OF appropriations. Thousands OF per-
sons were then thrown out of employ
ment. A renewal of public works
would be great relief.
General Davis says the latest reports
show vhe disaster to be greater than
he had anticipated and extends over
the whole island. He is doing every
thing in his power to alleviate the SUI
fering and has every confidence in gen.
erous results from his appeals to the
American people. Where possible, the
troops that lost their shelter in the
hurricane have been ordered to San
Juan.

House dog on Tuesday. This Is a big
ST. Bernard which at times takes possess
sion o. the entire street and makes more
noise and disturbance than 20 drunk aud
disorderlles who would be at once sent
TO the lookup If they assumed the dogs
prerogatives. In the present instance
be Is excused because he did not bite the
child's face off. He was not angry and
did not close his jaws and so the child
escaped with few gashes IN the face.
No one Knows just how the dog was pro-
voked so that the full measure of censure
cannot be visited upon the child who
should have been at home. There Is

The Pilot must say that from all the 10
formation it can gather there is not much
grain sold at any of the stations in this
county. A report comes occasionally
that grain ls pouring in at certain places
IN large quantities but careful irQa!rias
Go not sustsin these reports. 1t is high,
ly important that Manltowoc be made a

can never be done by decrylng it on IN

On Thursday last John Hanson, al
old fisherman who is over 20 years ole
. was robbed. He lives IL a little cabin
on the lake shore at the foot of Chicago
, street. The cabin is built on the street
he occupies the cabin alone.
On thursday night soon after be re-
tired his door was broken open, the
casing being torn away by the pressure
ezerted upon the door. Three people
entered and at once pounced upon the
old man while ne was IN bed. They beat
him about the head aud body and stuffed
his mouth with rags, to prevent his
screaming. This was done with no gentle
hands as the old mans mouth was badly
bruised and be spat blood for several
days and swallowed food with difficulty
IhaY pulled him OF the bad after gag
ging him and administered more punish
ment, tying his hands and feet with cords
and so tightly that his wrists were cnt
mo by the cOru5. They covered his head
so that he could not recognize Ihsm and
then proceeded to rauaack the house
| They tore down the canopy OF the bed
and turned things upside down. They
want up stairs and there found tie ntisct
OF their search, the trunk in which Han
son kept his money. He had d little tray
Sd nicely adjusted to the trunk that il
seemed part of 1t. In this were three
compartments, each filed with so gold
pieces. There were also some bills. The
robbers knew the secret of the tray. They
dumped the contents OF the trunk on the
floor and took with them all the money
a coat, a vest watchcheiu and a gold
sleeve button and earrings.
After procuring the booty they cut the
cords with which they had bound the
old man and made their escape. He
recognized none of them by their voices
The following morning 4 man named
Sa,verson called at the cabin and found
the old man still il helpless condition.
There was about 5000 taken The gold
had neVer been 10 circulation as he had
1t before the breaking out of the civil
"hi' io uldle ouOuSl 10 keep MIN by
tishlng and he was saving up the money
Tor TINA when be would be unable 10
work. The poor fellow is now left destI-
tute.
There can be no doubt that the job |
was done by loca! talent as professionals |
would not seek quarter for their ope |
ratlons so unlnvIting. There is need of !
vigilance committee in the city.
IT now transpires there were two other |
burgaries in this city within the last few |
weeks, but they were hushed up. The |
lore of 2. j. Besch was entered one |
night, the door having bsen bored |
through so that hand coul be inserted |
and the bolt Withdrawn. Some money |
and goods were taken. The saloon of |
Maths Skarda was entered IN the same |
manner, but for some re lson nothing was
taken.
