Lost In u Typhoon " lille Oh Their Way to
Manila.
WASHINGTON, d. c., October g.
A cable message from Gen. Otis to the
War Department to-day brings word
of the loss of several hundred horses
and mules on the transport Siam. The
message follows:
MANILA, october 6.
Steamer Siam, which left San Fran
cisco August 10 with forty-five horses
and three hundred and twenty-eight
mules, encountered a typhoon on the
list instant, Northern Luzon, in which
all but sixteen mules were lost. The
! animals were killed by the pitching of
the vessel and lack of air from neces-
sary 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, which left Honolulu thirty
one days ago, encountered the typhoons
early this week One lasted forty hours.
Most of the forage which was on deck was
swept overheard, all the boats were
smashed, and the steamer rolled tremen-
dously 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 disembowel-
ed. Their legs and necks were broken and
the wretched animals fell in such a con-
fused mass that the attendants were I'M
able to relieve them
In the meantime, the deck Dad was wash
ed off, the ship lightened and the rolling
increased.
When the storm abated the injured ami
mails were killed and their carcasses
thrown overheard.
When the Siam arrived her propeller
was high out of the water and the wrecks
of her boats were hanging from the dav-
its.

or the Intention Navy Department
to Send ReinforcemenIs.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October g.
Notification was sent by cable to-day
to Gen. Otis, at Manila, of the inten-
ton of the Navy Department to rein
force the navy in the Philippines to a
considerable extent, and stating that
the Brooklyn and several other vessels
would be dispatched at the earliest pos
slble moment to the i-lands. So far
the only orders issued are to the Brook
lyn, the Nashville, the New Orleans
and the Badger, but in the course of a
few weeks Others will be added to the
list, in the shape of some of the smaller
gunboats, The Navy Department is
not yet aware of the use to which Ad
miral Watson and Gen. Otis will put
this force, but undoubtedly it is the
purpose to make supreme effort to
crush the insurrection at an early day
Admiral Dewey regarded it is essential
that the insurgents should be cut off
from the bountiful supplies they have
been receiving through the ports which
have not yet been closed, and he ex-
pressed the greatest satisfaction at the
information contained in the latest Ma
Mia adyices to the effect that the in
surgents were in straits to secure food,
pointing out that this augured an early
collapse of their resistance if the ave-
| nues of supply were closed against
them

LIN AND Upton ARE BOTH

SHAMROCK STOCK HAS GONE
UP SEVERAL POINTS.
NEW YORK, October 6.-This has
been day OF rest on board the inter-
national racers. The Columbia was
towed from Sandy Hook to Bay Ridge
to get her out of any danger from the
northeasIer. The Snaml ock renamed at
her anchorage at the Hook, her people
willing to take the chances. The wind
blew up pretty fresh ABOUT 6 o'clock,

the feeling on both sides is one of

win. Sir Thomas Upton mas nice
little corner in the Ell all ready for
the cup. The public is IN DOUBT, and
it must be said that there is a feeling
OF indecision among expert yachismen.
The two days OF drifting have furnished
almost nothing on which 10 base opin-
bnrraTar n
strengthen the belief that the Sham
rock Is a thoroughly dangerous propo-
sition This is now a Well-grounded
opinion and if the two days of light airs
have done anything, they have shaken
that confident feeling that mas prevailed
among tbs hackers OF the Columbia
Those who have watched most closely
every movement of the two yachts, are
firm in the belief that there is little
to choose between them in drift, and
when it is remembered that the Sham
rock people have never asserted that
she was a good drifter it can readily
be understood that there is reason for
the rise in Shamrock stock.
Twice in the two days Of racing there
have been times when both boats were
sailing under exactly similar conditions,
for an hour after the start on Tuesday
and for a like length of time after the
start on Thursday. Both were sailing
dead before a light wind with the same
spread of canvas. On Tuesday the
Shamrock drew away from the Column
bia. On Thursday the Columbia drew
away from the Shamrock. No one
can draw lines on the racers from this,
and it can safely be said that the only
change that has taken place in the
feeling of observing yachtsmen is one
that tends to increase the doubt.
1t now looks as though the first race
to a finish would come in a good stiff
breeze.
At shutdown the wind was blowing
hard from the north. The weather was
clearing and there were good signs of
pretty hard Northwestern in the
morning. If it comes the world will
see the greatest struggle for yachting
supremacy in the history of interna-
tional racing.
The observer at Galilee, N. j., to-
night reports:
"The wind tonight is north, north
west, with a heavy sea running. The
indications are that there will be fresh
wind at the commencement of the race
tomorrow, also heavy sea, but that
the sea will go down as the race pro-
cee0S"
