Sackcloth and ashes are not, however,

it her business to get rid OF.
Last Lent she had grand routine.

morning after she opened her eyes; then
her tub Of icy cold water; then another
cup Of hot water; then breakfast, which
consisted OF a mou,hful OF dry toast, u

There is not much pleasure in this

purpose admirably.
This year the poor dear is in despair.

figure is an absolute necessity to finding

crous sight than fat woman in the

Well. this poor dear with the tendency
toward embonpoipt has certainly grown
hopelessly hippy, and she was deploring
her fate to me and shuddering at the
prospect OF embracing her Lenten fad
again. That was week ago. Today
che is radiant.
Someone has sent her from Paris a
marvellous ointment that absorbs flesh.
Can you imagine such thing?

Trooper Schoenberg Of Troop c,

brought in dispatches to General Davis
asking for assistance. Seven men of
Troop c were injured during the hurri-

was seriously hurt. The extent of the
casualties among the troops stationed
in Humacao and other towns is not
yet definitely known, but it is believed
that twenty-six were killed in Arroyo
on the southeast coast.

to have been destroyed, but the loss of

In Arecibo, on the north coast, thirty

families perished in the food which
swept away three houses. One hundred
and twenty bodies have been recovered.
In Yabucoa, ten miles south of HUI

Nothing has been heard so far from
the Mayaguez district, on the south
coast, but it is known that coffee,
oranges and growing crops all over the
island have been completely ruined.
Many towns throughout the island
are still under water. and thousands of
cattle have been lost by the inunda-

from all sides with requests to General

~ ARIS. Aug. 12-Following the ar
rest of NJ. Paul Deroulede a num-
Der of members of anti Semitic
J. and patriotic leagues were taken
into custody this morning.
A semi official note issued this morn
ing reads as follows:
A certain number of arrests were made
this morning as the result of magiS-
terial inquiry and by virtue of article SO
of the Penal Code regarding conspiracy
organized for the purpose of accomplish
ing a change in the form of government.
The persons implicated belong TO the
groups of the Royalist Youth and the
patriotic and anti-Semitic leagues. AT
the trial of the Neuilly barracks affair
facts relating TO the incident alone Were
used as the basis of the prosecution, but
searches were then made and documents
were seized which led to the discovery
of an organization dating back to July,
1895 and of plot to seize the Government
by force The documents leave no room
for doubt either in regard to the exist
ence of the plot or as TO the chief actors
therein. After a very close watch proof
was obtained that the same groups were
preparing for fresh attempt at an early
date the proof being such as to enable
the disturbances to be aVerted by imme-
date measures. The investigation of the
affair is intrusted to NJ. Fabre, examining
magistrate.
NJ. Deroulede was taken into custody
by four gendarmes and was driven to
Paris. On his arrival here he was in
carcerated in the Conciergerie prison.
When arrested NJ. Deroulede shouted:
1T is a rascality on the part of the
Government. which is trying to impli-
cate me in the same affair as the Or
Ieanists, whose adversary I am
The arrest of NJ. Marcel-Habert is
expected
The police have closed the offices of
the Patriotic League, which are now
guarded by gendarmes.
When an attempt was made to arrest
NJ Guerin, president of the Anti-Sem-
ite League, he refused to surrender and
barricaded himself in his house. He
says he is prepared TO hold out for
three weeks. having a good stock of
food and firearms. The doors and win
dows of his residence are barricaded
and NJ. Guerin announces he will blow
UP his house before he surrenders.
On the application of NJ Fabre fresh
searches of various houses were made
this morning, including the headquar-
ters of the anti-Semites, where only
unimportant papers were seized.
1t appears that the officials unearthed
kilograms sent by the Duke of Orleans
from Brussels at the time of President
Faure's funeral, the first saying, "All
our men are ready" The second tele-
gram was dispatched the following
day, saying, 1T is useless to come"

against the Government had in the
meantime failed. Later, during the

Major Myers in his report from Ponce
to Governor General Davis says that
the hurricane began at o'clock in the
morDing and increased in violence un-
til 10 o'clock, when there was some
abatement of it's fury. 1t came in again
at o'clock in the evening and blew
with terrific force until o'clock in the
morning without intermission. Rains
in the mountains swelled the rivers un-
til towns are from two to ten feet un-
der water. Great damage was done to
all public buildings, and private losses
are beyond calculation. Barracks were
flooded, and outer buildings. including
kitchens and dining rooms, were de-
stroyed and swept away.

racks Were demolished and their furni-
ture and other contents lost. Commits

contained were ruined. Stables were
destroyed, but horses and cattle were

wrecked and the beef supplies quickly
spoiled. All that could be saved was
given " tic pOoAb hAO were without

There are no beds for the troops, Ma

~ AN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. Il
Reports from the southern coast
of the island. which were received
~ this morning. supply details of
terrible havoc wrought by the hurri-
cane. Conservative estimates place the
number of 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 town by the wind,
rendering their contents unfit for use
The sediment and wreckage in which
the dead bodies are embedded choke
the streets. An ~~idemiC seems certain
and as there are no medicines 1T Will
decimate the population of the island
If it once gets a start.
Destitution and distress everywhere
prevail. People are clamoring in the
streets of Ponce for bread Governor
General Davis has already started re-
lief expeditions, but communication is
difficult, owing to the floods resulting
from the heavy rains, which at many
points have carried away roads and
bridges.
Playa, the port Of Ponce, a town Of
5000 inhabitants, was completely de-
stroyed and on the night Of the storm
there was four feet of water in the
streets of Ponce itself. Playa has been
cut off from Ponce by the washing
away of bridges. and it has no means
of communicating with the mainland
except by boats. The port depends up
on rain caught in cisterns for its water
supply and as these cisterns were filled
with sea water. great distress has re-
suited. Other towns on the southern
coast Of the island suffered similar dis
aster. Yauco, west of Ponce, was de-
stroyed, with great loss of life. together
with its port, Guanica.
Tallaboa and Guayanilla, on the line
of the railway connecting Ponce and
Yauco, were wiped out. Humacao. the
chief town on the eastern coast of the
island. is in ruins, and its 5000 people
are homeless and starving. Sixty-four
