WASHINGTON, Oct. GA cable mes
sage from Gen. Otis to the war depart
ment Thursday brings word of the loss
of several hundred horses and mules
on the transport Siam. The message
follows:
MANILA, Oct. 6.--Steamer Siam
which left San Francisco August 10.
with 45 horses and $50 mules, encoun-
tered typhoon first instant. north of
Luzon, in which all but 10 mules were
lost. Animals killed by pitching of
vessel and lack of air from necessary
closing of matches. No casualties
among passengers, OTIs.
1t is stated at the quartermaster's
department that the mules which were
lost on the siam were the trained pack
mules which were considered the most
valuable sent to the Philippines.
The Siam left Honolulu 81 days ago
and encountered the typhoons early
this week. One lasted 40 hours. Most
of the forage which was on deck was
swept overheard, all the boats were
smashed and the steamer rolled tre-
mendously in the trough of the sea,
although the officers made every effort
to bring her about.
The mules were hurled from side to
side and frightfully mangled and dis
emboweled. Their legs and necks were
broken, and the wretched animals fell
in such confused mass that the at
tendants were unable to relieve them.
Then the storm abated, the injured an
imals were killed and their carcasses
thrown overheard.

TO REINFORCE THE NAVY.
Gen. Otis and Adm Watson Notified of tho
Governments Intention to Send
l. More Vessels to Manila.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.--Notification
was sent by cable Friday to both Gen.
Otis and Adm. Watson at Manila, of
the intention of the navy department
to reinforce the navy in the Philip
pines to a considerable extent and
stating that the Brooklyn and several
other vessels would be dispatched at
the earliest possible moment to the is
lands. So far the only order issued
are to the Brooklyn, the
Nashville, the New Orleans and the
Badger, but in the course
OF few weeks others will be added to
the list, in the shape of some of the
smaller gun boats. The navy depart
ment is not yet aware of the use to
which Adm. Watson and Gen. Otis
will put this force, but undoubtedly it
is the purpose to make supreme eff
fort to crush the insurrection at
an early day. Adm. Dewey re-
garded as essential that the insur-
gents should be cut off from the
bountiful supplies>they have been re-
ceiving through the ports which have
not yet been closed, and he expressed
the greatest satisfaction at the in
formation contained in the latest Ma
nila advices to the effect that the in
surgents were in straits to secure food,
pointing out that this presaged an
early collapse of their resistance if the
avenues were kept closed against fur.

ADM DEwEY'S NEW HOME.
He Accepts the Gift and Expresses Grati-
0cation That 1t is From the Ameri-
can Poop @.

WAsTIN NGToN, Oct. 6.-Adm. Dewey
has elected to accept house in Wash
ington, already constructed, instead of
having one built for his occupation. In
accordance with the invitation of the
committee which has had in charge the
Dewey home work. he called at the Of
flee of Acting Secretary Allen in the
navy department at II o'clock Friday
to indicate his preferences in the mat
ter of residence.
The admiral was officially informed
of the purpose of the people of The
United States to present him with a
home in Washington. He frankly en-
pressed his qualification at the tender.
which he Immediately accepted. He
said, had the proposed home been the
gift of a few wealthy men he should
feel indisposed to accept it, But he
noted that the fund had over AZ, 900
subscribers, indicating that the home
was to be really the gift of the Ameri-
can people, and as such he would accept
it with as much pleasure as he had the
sword bestowed upon him by congress.
The admiral showed a decided pref
erence for the section in which he had
made his home during his former details
of duty in Washington. He wished the
house to be located in the northwest
section, somewhere west of Sixteenth
street, and not too far north, thus in
dicating the neighborhood of his for
mer residence and the clubs where he
spent good deal of his leisure time.
First of all he wanted the house at the
earliest possible moment, SO that he
might ''go in and hang up his hat at
once" as he put it. Of course that pre-
cluded the idea of erecting a4ouse to
meet his special needs.
He expressed his ideas as to the char
acter of the home he desires, and asked
that the house be modest enough in ap-
pointments and cost to permit of the
retention of sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund, to defray the
expense of furnishing it. The commit
tee listened attentively to all these
wishes and saw no reason why one and
all could not be gratified. The admir-
al is going to New York tomorrow,
and will stop over if he can to see the
yacht race on his way to Shelburne
Farms, Vt.
The fund at the disposal of the COM
mittee now amounts to about $50, 600.

the court house, and by its side had
been constructed a platform, upon
which the president and members of
his party took seats to review long
procession of militia, veterans of the
war and returned volunteers of the
Spanish war.
The concourse of people surrounding
this platform and packing every street
IN its vicinity was by far the largest
which has thus far greeted the presi-
dent on his western tour. After his
review of the parade the president
took his seat facing the veiled monu-
ment, by the side of Hon. Martin King
man, chairman of the exercises. After

THIRD RACE DECLARED OFF.
Neither Yacht Could Finish in the Time
Limit-The Columbia Had Overcome
tho ShamrOck's Lead

New YORK, Oct Sat sunrise Sat-
urday morning a strong northerly
breeze was stirring. up the whitecaps
on the upper bay.
The Shamrock was inside the Horse
shoe as usual and by $50 her tender,
the tug James A. Lawrence, was max
ing preparations to tow her
outside. The Columbia was being
towed down from Bay Ridge.
The breeze was so fine and true off the
Hook that the Shamrock dispensed
with the aid of the tug and started out
for the lightshio under sail. Just as
she got under way the Colum bia came
down the channel and rounded the
southwest spit in tow of her tug.
The starting gun was fired at 11:2O.
At 1851 the yachts had sailed about
mile of the course and the Columbi
was in the lead. During the next is
minutes the Columbia seemed to draw
away from the Shamrock.
At 1908 the Columbia led by about
an eighth of a mile. A few moments
after the Shamrock blanketed the Co.
lumbia and was passing the American
on the starboard side.
At 1918 the Shamrock passed the
Columbia to starboard and took the
lead.
Off Highland at 12:45 range on
the yachts showed the Shamrock to be
minutes and 40 seconds ahead of the
Columbia.
At 1:l5 p. m. the Shamrock appeared
to have increased her lead. The boats
seem to be quarter of a mile apart.
AS they were preparing to round the
stake boat at 1:35 the Shamrock led by
only % yards.
At 1888 both boats were seem
ingly starting for home, with the
Shamrock in the lead, which seemed to
be increasing at 2:lO.
At 3:05 the Shamrock was still ahead,
but at 1888 it appeared the Columbia
had passed the Shamrock and had a
slight lead.
At 4:l7 both boats are standing on
starboard tack and not over so yards
apart. The Columbia manages to hold
her windward position, and neither is,
at this minute, getting any advantage
over the other.
At 4:32 it was evident neither boat
could come within the time limit and
the race was declared off for the third
time.

has moved practically to the border,
eight miles from Mafeking, intrenched

The garrisoning and fortifying of
the town are practically completed.
The streets are barricaded and per-
feet system of mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting of three bullet
proof cars, the first of which carries a
searchlight, while the sides of the
cars are loopholed. Each train is
complete in itself and carries it's own
provisions. Experiments with lyddite
in the mines prove that it is an ex-
tremely powerful explosive.
Col. Robert Stephenson Smith Pow
ell, commanding the 5th dragoon
guards, has issued a notice that the
Beers who are massed on the Natal
and Buchuanland frontiers have or
ders not to fire until the British fire
first, and the town is we'll prepared
for eventualities, but as the Beers
may shell the place, every endeavor
should be made to safeguard the wom-

Cape army says that 5000 Beers are
encamped midway between Boshof and
Kimberley. They are well armed and
great religious fervor is shown in the
camp
The Beers, however, are chafing un-
der the delay. They patrol the border
nightly and have been ordered not to
permit a British uniform to approach
the frontier under any consideration
whatever.
A special order. was gazetted on Sat
urday announcing what British resi-
dents would be allowed to remain In
the Transvaal and under what con-
ditions.
Whatever may be the result of
Great Britain's controversy with the
South African republic, every depart
ment of the government Sunday was
as busy S though actual hostilities
had begun. The electric flash that an
nounced the mobilization of the army
reserves and the summoning of par
lament set every wheel cf the govern.
ment machinery in motion.
At Woolwich Sunday it was asserted
that 95 per cent. of the reserves would
be fully equipped within the next six
days.
