Supplies For Next
Five Months.

Washington, Aug. 19-Two dispatches
from Governor General Davis of Por-

fearful havoc wrought by the hurricane
Of last week, were received at the war
department. They were Immediately
sent to Secretary Root, who already
has taken measures for dispatching re-

The secretary expects that the trans
port Mcpherson with large quantity
Of rice and beans will leave New York
tomorrow and this will be followed by
other vessels as fast as arrangements
can be made for sending supplies. He
thinks it is the duty Of the government
to make provision for feeding the peo-
pie until aid given by the citizens Of
this country reaches them, and will ex
haust every means at his disposal to
this end.
The secretary contemDlates supple

the mayors to assist in raising subscrip-
lions and tomorrow will issue an ap-
peal to the governors of the states
with view to arousing general inter-
est in the relief work. The dispatches

clan, DR.. II. Robinson. Father Nevins
died from Bright's disease, which devel-
oped into serious stage nearly a year

poor. Two weeks ago he had stroke of

Father Nevins was born in Philadel-

the schools there, and later attended An
Mandate College at Annandale, N. T., in
preparation for the Episcopal ministry,
and became a deacon of the Episcopal

STORM NEARLY SPENT.
West India Hurricane Has Almost
Died Down.


Died Down.
Washington, Aug. 13-The West In
dian hurricane appears to be gradually
decreasing in strength, and the chances
are that it will spend itself before MAX
ing much further progress. This is the
welcome news given out by the officials
of the weather bureau tonight 1t is
based on the fact that there has not
been any decided fall in the barometer
in the localities that should feel it's eff
feet and by the presence of it's pressure
In the northern part of the United
States which tends to keep the storm
from continuing it's onward march.
The movement of the hurricane is
apparently very slow and even at Jack
sonville the velocity Of the wind this
morning was but % miles an hour. The
opinion of the officials is that by the
time that Charleston is reached there
will be nomore than an ordinary blow
Wilmington, N. c.. and Norfolk have
taken down their hurricane signals
The storm now appears to be on the
east coast Of Florida and the latest re-
ports from Jupiter dated at 4 O'clock
this morning indicate pretty severe
blow at that place. 1t is now south Of
Jacksonville, indicating a slow north
ward movement since last night The
bureau has had no wire reports south

low Jacksonville, since last night and
nothing from Nassau, Bahama islands.

EXCITING TRIP.
Centennial Arrives From
Manila After Many
Adventures.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The Trans
port Centennial arrived here today
from Manila after very exciting
round trip. She narrowly missed a
couple of typhoons, was ashore on a
coral reef where the entire crew bare
ly escaped capture at the hands of the
Filipinos; one of the sailors was killed
by a parting hawser, and one of the
quartermasters was stabbed by col
ored cook.
Because of the stabbing, Charles
Wilson, one Of the CentenniaPs galley
staff, arrived here in irons, while Her
man Bravey, the transports quarter
master must go to a hospital During

on her outward trip, a quantity of
government stores to the value of $13.-
600 had to be jettisoned and were eag-
erly appropriated by the Filipinos who
swarmed about the reef and made
more than one attack for the purpose
of capturing the vessel and crew
Upon her return trip to this port, the
Centennial brought a number of inva-
hded officers and men from various
regiments. The wives Of officers are

At Macoris there was not much dam

the river caused the loss Of many light

No reliable news has yet been re-

known, however, that everywhere
throughout the country the rivers over

COAL and WATER.
Those Are Ensign McFar-
lands Two Requisites
His Brilliant Work.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Following is
the text of Commander Sperry's report
reoiting the exploits of Ensign Fl. G..
in the vicinity of Manila:-
U. S. S. Yorktown, Ilollo, P. L, June u.
Sir: The gunboat Samara, Ensign H.
G.. MacFarland, U. S. N, commanding
which sailed from this port on the Sd
inst, returned on the 9th, requiring
COAL for which she appears to carry
about six days supply for active cruis-
ing with frequent chasing.
The Samara passed along the west
coast of Panay three times, visited Cat
alog on the island Tablas once, Rom
blomo three times, the north coast Of
Sibuyan once, Capiz on Panay twice,
passed along the north coast of Panay
and returned to Iloiio from the north,
having made a complete circuit of Pa
nay, close along shore.
Inclosed herewith Is a copy of the
commanding officers report of the cap
ture of the 1S vessels, all but one of
which was destroyed. However active
the trade might have been on the west
coast Of Panay formerly, I am of the
opinion that the insurgents are mainly
occupied in throwing troops into Me-
gros and Leyte from southwest L.uzon
and Panay, and Gen. Hughes is Of the
same opinion. With the intention Of
beaking up this traffic the Samara has
been set out on the cruising orders
communicated to you today in cipher.
The manner in which Ensign Mac
Farlond exercises his command is ex-
tremely satisfactory. He is ready, en-
ergetic and makes no requests, except
for coal and water 1t is very desirable
that the springs telegraphed for should
be supplied at once for the Samara' s
INordenfelder, but in the meantime En-
sign mcfarland has made what he re-
ports as satisfactory temporary ar
Irangements, and he appears to have a
genius for making things work.

Rennes, Aug. 13.-The battle has be-
gun in earnest. Its political bearings
are shown in the arrest of Paul De-
roulede, the deputy and poet, and %
Of his numerous royalist and Bona
partist allies, who have pooled with
him against the republic. AS in the
Boulangist conspiracy, the pool would
be of little consequence but for the mil
itary caste which has found represent
alive men in Gen. Negrier and some
other generals having great commands.
1t is strange how the fight thickens
around the shadowy and emaciated
redrhanded Jew, whose uniform of an
artillery captain so ill fits and BELTS his
figure and physiognomy.
| Last Mondays sitting of the court
martial and the subsequent non-public
sittings were the first skirmishing OPP
erations; but yesterday was field day,
in which the two hostile forces into
which France is divided and has. been
since the revolution set themselves in
in array of battle and drew the first
blood Each side stands committed to
a certain course, and has burned it's
ships. The actual Dreyfus trial is a
| trial of strength I cannot see a pos
sibility of its ending in drawn game.
1t is now a meek or nothing" combat,
desperate fight, in which neither side
will give in unless utterly routed.
The moral situation of the forces en-
gagged reminds one of that Of the armies
of the French revolution, and those
they had to fight The Dreyfusites
have the brains, the forward impulse,
the dash and the fiexibility. At the same
time, they are raw recruits, gathered
spontaneously from the four points of
the compass. Hatred of the military
caste. and, it may be, the secret hope
of rewards have made them homoge-
neous.
The nationalists have social and other
prestige, numbers and organisation.
Their centre is composed of the major
NY of Prenchmen and Frenohwomen;
their left wing is formed of 1900 off,
GERS; and their right wing consists OF
the church. All profess respect for le-
gality, but only from the lips out.
One side is just as INSCRIPTIONS as
the other; but the most active and less
numerous side does really fight for the
cause Of humanity, justice and truth.
The Dreyfusises have, at any rate, won
belligerent rights, and they are sure
of the friendly neutrality of the sov-

Doubtless the Dreyfusites are supplied
with Jewish funds without accepting
N. de Freycinet's estimate of 3S, 900 900
