Hurricane Is Approaching Nassau and
Is Headed for the Mafn-
land

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE West In
dian hurricane tonight is rapidly ap-
preaching Nassau, Bahama Islands, where
the barometer has fallen considerably since
morning, and the wind had increased to
velocity of thirty-siX miles an hour at 5:4O
O'Clock this evening. Rain has been falling
all day. While there is still possibility
that the storm may curve out to sea, the
officials of the weather bureau now express
the opinion that it would reach the coast
of Florida and that its influence there may
begin to be felt by tomorrow morning
Hurricane warnings have been sent out
over the state by telegraph and telephone
and every measure taken to put the in
habitants on their guard The maps on file
in the weather bureau show the course
which has been followed by the August

ence in the direction which they have
taken.
The storm IS now travelling much slower
than during the earlier period of its ex-
istence. the total distance covered having
been about 1000 miles. Its center now ap-
pears to be little southeast of Nassau.
A report received by the signal Office to-
day from Major Glassford, stationed at San
Juan, Porto Rico states that the telegraph
wires in the island are down and that the

to restore them to their former condition.
Weather bureau officers are surprised to
hear that the town of Ponce was not warm

in press dispatches from that city. The

STATE RESTS ITS CASE.
Hunters and Doctors Did Not Agree as
to Nature of Pete BIIyeu's
de-

SPRINGFIELD, MO, Aug, 11.-(Special) }
The Bilyeu trial at Ozark was resumed to-
day, a sufficient number of the sick wit
nesses and jurors being able to attend. The
evidence brought out was mainly relative
to the nature of the wounds found on the
bodies of Steve Bilyeu and his two sons.
The testimony on that point was conflict
ing. some of it going to show that little
Jimmie, the boy whom it is alleged Hosea
Bilyeu killed with his Winchester, was real
ly shot with a revolver. Medical experts
and hunters are arrayed against each other
in the trial. The doctors claim that the
bullet which killed Pete Bilyeu entered
TIE front of the head, while the hunters
claim the bullet entered the back of his
head. The state rested and the defense
will begin tomorrow. .
