A THOUSAND DEAD.
Hurricane That Struck Porto Reco
Wrought Terrible Havoc.
Sediment and Dead Bodies Choke the
Streets of Ponce, and an Epidemic May
ResuIt-United States Carrying on
the Work of Relief.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug, H.-Re-
ports from the southern coasts of the
island supply details OF the terrible
havoc wrought by the hurricane. Con-
servative estimates place the number
of persons killed at Ponce at 1000.
Many others received bodily injuries.
Five hundred of the dead are lying in
the morgue OF the city. There is much
illness, owing to the scarcity OF food
and water. Cisterns were filed with
salt water when the sea was forced
into the town by the wind, render
ing their contents unfit for
use. Sediment and wreekag@ in
which the dead bodies are inn
bedded, choke the streets, An epidemic
seems certain, and, as there are no
medicines, il it once gets start it will
decimate the population of the island.
Destitution and distress everywhere
prevails. People are clamoring in the
streets OF Ponce for bread. Gov. Gen.
Davis has already started relief expe-
ditions, but communication is difficult
owing to the floods resulting from the
heavy rains, which, at many points,
have carried away roads and bridges

Immediately sent to Secretary Root,
who already has taken measures for
dispatching relief to the people of the
island. The secretary expects that the
transport Mcpherson, with a large
quantity Of rice and beans, will leave
New York to-day, and this will be fol
| lowed by other vessels as fast as ar
rangements can be made for sending
supplies. He thinks it is the duty OF
the government to make provision fol

Washington, Aug. 12. Maj. Gen.
Otis will remain in supreme command
of the Philippine islands. Should he
request to be relieved, Maj. Gen. Law
ton will be assigned to duty as his sue
cessor. This is the decision reached
by the president and Secretary Root
during the conferences at Lake Cham
plain. Secretary Root made no secret
of the purpose of the president to
retain Gen. Otis in control at Manila
and so informed Gen. Miles at long
pmaerenee 1t is evident that, not
withstanding the fact that Gen. Mer-
ritt expressed desire to return to
Manila, he will not have the oppor-
tunity, and even Lawton's promotion
is conditional upon the request Of Otis
to be detached from command.

DREYFUS' LAWYER SHOT.
M. Labori Ambushed by Two Assassins
Early Monday Morning while on His
Way TO Court.

Rennes, France, Aug. 1.-two men
ambushed Maitre Labori, counsel for
Dreyfus, and one shot was fired, hit
ting Labori in the back. NJ. Labori
fell in the roadway. He is still alive.
Maitre Labori left his house alone for
the court at about six o'clock this
morning. His residence Is situated in
the suburbs of the town, about quar-
ter of an hours walk from the Lycee,
the route being along a solitary road
beside the River Vilaine. He had
reached point half way on his jour
ney, when two men who had evidently
been lying in wait for him rushed out
of narrow lane and one of them fred
a single shot from a revolver. The
wounded man uttered an agonizing
cry and fell fiat on his face. The MUIR
derers Immediately fed through the
lane from which they had emerged and
beth escaped. Physicians believe that
NJ. Labori will die from the wound.
The Assassin stlIi at Large.
Rennes, Aug. 15.-There were several
reports that the assailant of NJ. Labori
had been captured, but they proved to
be unfounded. Detachments Of troops
and gendarmes are beating the woods
and securing the country. A great
number of people saw the murderer
fleeing, but he was either too far dis
tant from them or else he succeeded in
cowing them by threats to use his re-
volver.
II Is bad for Dreyfus.
London, Aug. 15.-The correspondent
of the Times at Rennes, who comments
upon the ''prodigious drama being en-
acted" and the loss TO the Dreyfus
cause through the disablement of La
bori, says: "There is terribly sug-
gestiye timeliness in the crime. II the
fates had been combining against
Dreyfus they could not have armed
more efficient agent Of their designs
than the unknown man who shot La
bori Just as he was about to riddle with
shot and shatter with invective, irony
and scorn the last arguments OF the
public accuser, Mercier."

Capt. Gleason called upon Capt Brans-

cut Regiment had managed to get to Cuba,
that Mecca to which the faces of the First
Georgians were so eagerly turned. but the
officer from the Nutmeg state said 1t was

Mad all tried every pull they knew of, but
had not been able to hit the right one.
With CONGRATULATIONS to the company,
praise of Savannah and assurances of es-
TEEN, Capt Bransield concluded his talk,
and was followed by Rev. Mr.. Cook, who
was chaplain of the First Georgia when
1t was in the service.
Mr.. Cook had an explanation ready for
the inability of the First Georgia 10 get
to the front. He said the President had
found thai there were SO many brave men
who wanted to go to fight the Spaniards
and was so anxious to obhge as
many as possible that he did
not dare send the First Georgia over. Tor
that would have meant all the Spanlards
would have been wiped out too soon TO give
the other fellows who wanted TO get
crack at them a chance. He said that dur
ing the time he was connected with the
regiment in camp, there was not "a com
pany In 1t that impressed him more strong
ly on account of the soldierly bearing and
deportmen Of the men than had Company
l., and he said he was sure that If need
for its services and those of the First Geor-
gia should ever again arise, there Will be
no reluctance, but a rushing of the flag TO
the front.

said when he heard the first volley that
was fired by the company. There goes the
first accident in the Cathedral" he
thought, as there seemed to him some sug-
gestion of falling seaffolding in the sound.
The officers of the Greens thought Father
Kelley was laying 1t on little too heavy
when he said their volIeys could be rikened
to any such long drawn out sound as that
of falling scaffolding.

proven such that 1t will be a permanent
fixture in the scavenger department Mr..

upon the inventive genious he showed in
devising a vehicle of the kind. It will be
