AFTERMATH OF STORM
Crops and Houses We're Destroyed In
Porto Rico.
HOSPITAL ALSO WRECKED.
Many Towns and Villages Complete
ly Observation-Disclosures Threat
eMed--Many American Soldiers
Said to Have Persisted.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 1.-the ter
rife wind which accompanied the recent
storm destroyed crops and demolished
houses on the higher ground, while the
floods destroyed bridges and houses and
caused great loss of human life. A large
number of c.lttle were killed. The storm
was most severe in the central part of
the island and along the southern coast.
Three hundred bodies have been buried
In the city of Ponce, and it is estimated
that 1000 persons were drowned in the
Ponce district. The number of people
Of the lower classes lost is not known,
but it is certain that there were few fa-
talities among persons of the better
class and none among the Americans.
The work of clearing away the debris
progresses slowly.
Senior Luis Gautier has been appointed
alcalde, the former incumbent of the Of
fee having been deposed on account of
negligence.
Considerable unrest has been mani
tested among the people, and a cavalry
patrol has been established. The water
supply has been restored.
Municipal Hospital Was Wrecked.
During the progress of the storm the
municipal hospital was wrecked. and its
patients were removed to the military
hospital.
Yabucoa, Adjuntas and Humacao were
devastated, and in some instances entire
Villages were swept out of existence.
One hundred persons are reported to
have been killed on coffee plantation.
Everybody is ruined, pestience threatens
and money and work are needed. and
newspaper appeal has been mad to the
American people for relief. The calam-
ity, with the commercial depression. has
produced pitiful condition of affairs.
Both Americans and Porto Ricaus de-
mand the adoption immediately of a del
mite policy on the part of the govern
ment.

BUXTON Has MILK WAR.

Buxton, October 6..-For the past few
years the farmers on the line of the 2, &
IL. r. r. have been sending their milk TO
III. p. Hood s. Sons. Boston; they agreed
on price for the year and the company
reserved the right to charge bacK to the
farmers the surplus of unsold milk. OF
late this surplus has been increasing until
the past month 1t was one and one-half
tents per can. This has cut the income
Of the farmers down from three to tsn
dollars each.
Those who have kept an accurate ac-
count OIL their expenses. claim that the
milk has COST them the past month more
than they have received. and they pre-.
TERED to go out OF the milk business
rather than work SO hard early and late

ton claim that there Is not milk enough
In Boston to supply the demand, therefore
how could there be surplus Of unsold
milk
After considering their case, one man
said that he would sell his COWS before he
would sell milk any longer. at .the pres.
emit prices. That one word was enough;
the oontagion spread and snon all but
three or four men had struck.
From Buxton depot on Thursday only
"a cans were sent, when the usual ship.
|ment at this season Is l50-l75 cans per
lay. At this writing it Is not known just
the extent Of the strike in the towns Of
Hollis and Waterboro, but there are many
farmers who have stopped shipping milk
from those towns. Some expect to start
private dairies, and others intend to send
their cream to the butter factories at
