have appointed competent and disinterest-
ed citizens of Cuba as enumerators and SUI
pervisors.
1T is important for the proper arrange

formation sought shall be fully and accu-
rately given, and I request that by every
means in your power you aid the officers
appointed In the performance of thelI
duties.
(Signed) civilian M'KINLEY."

PANIC REIGNS.
Over 5000 Persons Have Fled from
the Boer Republic and the
Situation Is Grave.

London, Aug. 30.-Panic reigns in the
Transvaal, according to dispatches from
South Africa. More than Is, 1000 persons
have already fed from the Boer repub-
lie and thousands of others remain
only because they are too poor to leave.
The London press considers the crisis
more grave than ever. It is pointed out
that the British force available in a war
with kruger's army consists of only
10000 men, while the burghers can mus
ter double that number of well-armed
and trained soldiers.
All governments in South Africa seem
to believe that war is certain and are
preparing to care for their interests.

Hurricane i'm Porto Rico show
= Sad State of Affairs.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Aug. 31.-A.
majority of the larger towns and cities
of Porto Rico in the path of the great
hurricane of August have been heard
from, and the reports show that the
ruin and devastation and loss of life
occasioned by wind and water are much
greater than at first supposed.
At this time it is impossible to esti-
mate the loss of life with any degree
OF accuracy, but Maj. John Glenn, chief
quartermaster of the department, who
has visited number of the stricken
cities, estimates that at least 1900 peo-
pie have been killed by falling houses
and flying timbers or drowned, and
that 5000 have been injured. The prop
erty loss on the island will amount to
many millions of dollars. The coffee
and orange crops have been entirely
ruined and all other crops have suf-
fered greatly.

which will be worthy of the name. It
will be taken under United States aus
