HORSES AT SEA IN A TYPHOON.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE ON BOARD A
TRANSPORT CARRYING THEM
To MANILA.

San Francisco. Nov. IA (SpeciaD.-A private
letter received here gives vivid picture OF the
terrible experience aboard the transport siam
loaded with horses in a four days typhoon
near Guam II was the last Of October when
the glass fell rapidly in few hours and the
typhoon burst on the ship. She became un-
manageable and rolled fearfully, her propeller
being out Of water half the time. At the first
roll all the horses broke from the stalls The
scene was beyond description. The seas broke
over the vessel and washed the terrified animals
about. breaking their legs and mangling them
in a sickening manner. The soldiers and sailors
could do nothing to save them. 1t was as much
as a mans life was worth to attempt to go on
deck where the frantic horses plunged and
kicked.
The next morning the wind died down little.
but the sea was high. Three hundred and fifty
mutilated horses filled the deck between the
poop quarter and the forward houses. The
wreckage of the stalls was lying about in
mass of dead horsehesh The weather was still
too rough to permit of the horses being thrown
overheard. II was not until the fourth day that
the men could get at them, and by that time the
odor from the bodies empowering The
steamer had drfted a thousand miles out Of
her course and was off Formosa Island Then
\ began the work OF getting rid Of the dead ami
mails. Thousands Of sharks, attracted by the
smell of the decayed flesh followed the trans
port. AS the bodies of the horses were showed
over the side the sharks would fairly leap out
of the water. churning the ocean into foam.

Washington. Nov. II (SpecaD-"The STAR
publishes the following this afternoon:
Some doubt has been expressed as TO the
opinion Admiral Dewey has Of the ability OF
General Otis to deal with the Philippine prob
lem.
THE preliminary report of the Philippine
Commission was silent on the subject Of the
conduct of affairs by General Otis. This pre-
liminary report was made at the request Of the
President to only certain indicated points
with reference to the Philippine question. after
the President had been informed of Dewey's
opinion OF Otis
Dewey made this statement in response TO
a inquiry to whether the conflict with the
Filipinos could have been avoided:
IF Leonard Wood chat is. General Wood. in
the forces at Manila, there would have been
no war; or, If there had been. it would not have
lasted more than six weeks. You the

REPORTED CAPTURE OF GEN PAREpEs.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF GEN. PAREDES.
The French Cable Company has received dis
patch from its Caracas Office 10 the effect that
General Antonio Paroles, who was defeated at
Puerto Cabeo by the Government troops, has been
captured, and is not board OF a foreign war
ship, reported The dispatch also says that
General Paroles Is being brought to the capital.
1t is believed that the Government wished to keep
the capture a secret to avoid any public demon
sration when General Paroles reaches Caracas
Much apprehension Is felt by Venezueans here
over the fate OF General Jose Bolivar The latter
was on the military staff of General Castro, and
was sent to Puerto Cabello to make overtures for
peace to General Paroles. He was made prisoner
and confined in fort by the rebel chief, who
threatened to shoot him If General Castro dared to
attack him. The cable reports say nothing about
General Bolivar, and there Is fear that General
Paroles may have made good his threat

NEWENGLAND COAL FAMINE FEARED.
MAINE INSTITUTION ALMOST OUT OF FUEL

Philadelphia Nov A-The unusual scarcity Of
coal in the wEngland States. and the fact that
the Augusta Insane Asylum. a charitable institution
supported by tho State of Maine. is almost
tirey out OF fuel and its inmates are in danger
OF freezing unless fresh supply can be soon
cured responsible for the charter OF the

fuel for Augusta at 50 80 ton. the highest freight
paid out Of Philadelphia to port In Maine for
forty years.
SO far is known the last rate quoted TO Au-
gusta was between 90 cents and 81 a ton. Phila-
delpha coal shippers cannot begin to MI the orders
that are pouring in from the NewEngland States
and in The opinion OF dealers 1t looks though
that part OF the country is about to experience
coal famine that will mean much suffering and
heavy losses in the manufacturing districts Coal
is scarce at tidewater points, and even upon ITS
arrival at seaport towns the greatest difficulty Is
being experienced in getting bottoms TO carry IL
