Hurricane in Porto Rico.

San Juan, Aug. "a terrible hurri-
cane has been raging in Porto Rico,
being especially severe along the
southern coast. A railway train was
blown from the track and many dwell
lings in the residence suburb of San
turce were destroyed. AT Ponce the

al vessels were blown on shore. Tele-
graph wires are down, SO that it is i'm
possible to learn full details of the
damage and fatalities.
Washington, Aug. Information of
a terrible hurricane in Porto Rico was
received at the War Department this
evening Cavalry barracks and other
government buildings at San Juan
were destroyed and several killed.

Plunged Down to Death.

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug. o,-Nearly
forty persons were killed by an ac-
cident on the Stratford extension of
the Shelton Street Railway Company
at a o'clock this afternoon, when a
loaded trolley car went off the trestle

about six miles north of Bridgeport,
and sank in the flats forty feet below.
Thus far thirty-six persons are known
to be dead and several more injured.
Only two persons are known to have
escaped unframed. 1t is believed that
there were fo1ty-three passengers on
board, but the indicator was removed
by the conductor Of another car and
taken away, so that at present il is

Trouble Expected i'm HIayti.

Washington, Aug. S. Haytl is in a
state of ferment, perhaps from SYM
pathy Domingo. United State Minis
ter Powell has cabled the State De-
partment that the presence Of United
States warshlp may be required, if the
present threatening conditions con.
tinue to insure the srfety of the United
States legation and consulates.
The Department is closely watching
developments and has been in COM
with the Navay Depart
ment on the subject, ready to dispatch
orders at short notice to Commanders
Longnecker and Logan, to the New
Orleans and Machias, respective. These
vessels are now at Santo Domingo,
only half days sail from Port-au-
Prince, and will, it is believed, be
quite sufficient to meet the minister's
needs.

Yellow Fever Situation.

Newport News, Va, August =
There was one new case of yellow
fever at the National Soldiers Home
today. There were no deaths. This is
the official report. The case found to.
day is the first reported since last
Thursday night.
There is now no doubt that the back
bone Of the yellow fever epidemic is
broken and in two weeks it is probable
that the scourge will be thing of the
past. The quarantine, however, will
be raised before that time as the situa-
tion is improving so rapidly that it will
be unnecessary to block business and
traffic after the next few days.
A house-to-house canvass Of Phoe-
bus by Surgeon White and his assist
ants developed no new case under
suspicion. There is now but one c. Sc
under treatment in Phoebus, the bar
Der Spraggins, who is almost well
enough to leave his home.

sure source that when certain words
and expressions could not be exactly

dictionary, Dreyfus, who is perfect

nations which were of valuable assist.

age, was lynched at 80 o'clock to
night, for attempting an assault upon
Lillian CLARKE, the eight-year old

which gathered around the Jail about
II o'clock from obtaining possession
of the prisoner, but were unsuccessful.

the scutfle which ensued Chief of Police
Webster was hurt.
The prisoner was foukd in the Gel
lar of the building and brought out,

was not the man and he was released.

ever, when the mob concluded that
Thompson wss the man they were
looking for, and after short chase he
was captured and strung up to an
electric light pole. The prisoner was
roughly handled on the way to the
place Of the hanging, his clothing be.
ing cut almost to shreds.

Washington, Aug. 4-Admiral Crom-
we'll, commandant of the Naval Station
at Havana, has advised the Navy De-
partment that suspicious case resem-
bling yellow fever occurred among the
marines constituting the small garrison
at the Machina Wharf in Havana. The
marine was at once removed to a
hospital and the case isolated.
The dispatch was received two days
ago, but was not made known until to-
day. Since then no word has come
from the Admiral or from the naval
surgeon in charge and this is taken to
indicate that nothing serious is ap-
pretended.

Dewey at Naples.

Naples, August S.-Admiral Dewey
exchanged visits today with the gen.
eral commanding the army corps here.
The reception accorded the Ameri.
can admiral by Vice Admiral Gonzales
commander.in-chief of the Maritime
Department of Naples, yesterday, was
of a brilliant character, and Admiral
Dewey is delighted with the cordial
hospitality everywhere extended to
him. In an interview with repre-
sentatives Of the Associated Press Ad-
miral Dewey says:
II do not desire fetes or demonstra-
tionS at home. 1t is enough for me
that my country knows did my duty
as soldier"
Mr.. Lewis Iddings, Secretary Of the
United States Embassy at Rome, has
gone to Sorrento, where he will give a
luncheon to Admiral Dewey tomorrow.
Washington, Aug. S.-The report
that Admiral Dewey will go to Rome
tomorrow, where he will be given an
audience by the Pope and will later
visit London en- route home, has at
tracted general interest at the Navy
Department today, although the De-
partment has not been apprised of his
programme. For many reasons, the
officers, ofthe navy would be pleased
if the Admiral should visit London
The cordiallty of the relations between
the two countries and the fraternizing
spirit shown by British and American
army and navy officers toward each
other would, they believe, insure for
the Admiral gratifying reception.

Foster, of Louisiana, copies of natural
ization papers issued to Charles Frond
