That you find the very latest
Of every thing. Sometimes if
we stay at home, we are INDUCED
to buy something which is repre-
scented to be new, which is not.
At some expense we visit the
progressive cities as each season
advances and see for ourselves
what the prevailing styles are,
and select them with care.
That is why we feel so well
prepared TO please our Gus

stock of new goods arranged, we
will describe some of our good
things in this. In the mean
time you had better come and
see them. Seeing is believing.

ECHOES OF HURRICANE

In Porto Rico = Awflll Devastation
Wroneht-1,6OO People Killed and
1900 Injurcd-GFeat Distress Pre-
walls.
corvtspundence Of the Associated Press,
SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO, Aug
ust 17.-A majority Of the larger towns
and cities OF Puerto Rico in the path Of
the great hurricane OF August s 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 suppos-
ed. At this time It is Impossible to es.
tlmate the loss of life with any degree
of accuracy. but Major John Glen,
chief quartermaster Of the department,
who has visited number OF the striclt-
en- cities, estimates that at least 1900
people have been killed by falling
houses and flying timbers or drowned,
and that 5000 have been Injured.
At Ponce ESQ bodies have been buried.
and It Is certain that the complete list
in the city and Its ''barrios" Will aggre-
gate 400.
In Arecibo, 200 bodies have been re-
covered and 700 persons are missing. 1t
Is thought that several hundred bodies
were swept out to sea.
Reports from the towns made by post
commanders to the adjutant general OF
the department are as follows:
Humacoa-Eighty-nine dead ana 900
Cayey-Thlrty-four dead and the
town entirely destroyed.
tO-Twenty-three dead.
Yabucoa-Best estimate obthlnable
places the number OF dead ut 175. The
town contained a population Of only
$500 and not house or wall was left
standing.
Arroyo-Aii houses were blown down
by the hurricane and a few hours la
Ter the town wns flooded by water to n
depth Of ten feet. Sixteen people were
known to have been drowned and It Is
probable that many others perished.
Guayama-All the buildings with the
exception of the Great Cathedral, were
unroofed or otherwise damaged; thirty
people were killed.
Juana DIaz-Five drowned.
Naguabo-TOwn supposed 70 nave
been swept away by the river Mameas;
Other towns in the path of the hurri-
cane from which incomplete reports by
native carriers have been received and
at which loss Of life has occurred are:
Las Pledras, Juncas. Trujllfo-Alto,
TrujIlio- -Baja, Ysabela, Manuabo. Que
bradlllas, Lares, Hatillo. Clales, Yauco.
Guanica, Patillas Utuado, Adjuntas.
The towns Of Bayamo, and Caguas.
IN the district Of San Juan, suffered
greatly. Four deaths occurred at Gag
uas. The large towns Of MayagusS,
Camuy and Aguadilin, on the west
coast, and Fajnrdo, on the east, suffer
ed very little from the hurricane.
The property loss on the island VIII
amount to many millions OF dollars.
The coffee and orange crops have been
entirely ruined and all other crops have
suffered greatly.
In many OF the towns and villages all
food supplies have been exhausted and
despite the fact that the governor gen.
erai and post commanders are doing all
in their power to supply food, 1t Is very
probable that many deaths from star
walton will occur.

LONDON, Aug. s1.-4The mo Times
says editorially this morning:
"There is the best reason to believe
that the recent note Of Mf. Chamber
lain will be almost the last occasion
on which Great Britain will ask Press
ident Kruger whether be is In earnest
In his promises of concessions The
note undoubtedly called for an iniftie-
diate answer. ana when reasonable
time for answer has elnpsed Great
Britain will nd longer pay mitch at
tentlon to President Kruger's word,
but, wit form her Judgment BY Ms acs
tions,
srhe Beers should bear in taiud that
throughout the whole controversy the
Cologne Gazette has warned the
Transvaai that It was placing Itself
IN an tntavbrable position, and that In
the event Of war nobody would lift q
finger to prevent the destruction Of the
republic"
The Pretoria correspondent Of the
Morning Post says: 1.-THE Boer ofliciais,
after reading the cabled reports Of
Mr.. Chamberldin's Birmingham speech,
consider that war is Inevitable. The
speech has undoubtedly inhamed the
war spirit here. The Beers are all
armed except those in Johannesburg.
Their commlssarIat is fairly good. All
the forts are amply victunlled. The
johannesburg fort has been strengths
encd with several qulck-hters.
president Kruger does not hesitate
to express the view that war is ale
most inevitable. He has stocked the
presidency With ample supplies Of pro-
visions to secure his own person from
privatlons, and he is often heard tss
peating the $50 Psalm"
