Damage Claims From Hawaii.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Claims ag-
gregating s2,3OO,OO0 or more have
arisen in connection with the efforts
made, principally in Hawaii, to prevent
the bubonic plague from securing a
foothold in this country and its out
lying possessions by burning down a
considerable part of the japanese and
Chinese quarter, where it was thought
the disease might find lodgment. Two
thousand Japanese residents are said
to have lost their homes, furniture and
practically all their belongings. Their
loss is estimated at 100000. The Chi
nese loss was estimated at about 81
100000. The authorities here feel that
1t is matter which Hawaii should ad-
just, but it is hoped that some means
may be adopted by cooperation be-
tween Washington and Honolulu for
adjusting the matter

AN APPEAL FROM GALVESTON.
Ii Says the Loss of Life VIII Reach
Three Thousand.

Galveston, Sept. 12.-The following
statement of conditions at Galveston
and appeal for aid is issued by the local
relief committee, headed by Mayor w.
c. Jones:
"A conservative estimate of the loss
of life is that it will reach 5000. At
least 5000 families are shelterless and
wholly destitute and the entire re-
mainder of the population is suffering
In greater or less degree. Not single
church, school or charitable institu-
tion, of which Galveston had so many,
is left intact Not a building escaped
damage, and half the whole number
were entirely obliterated. There is i'm
mediate need for food clothing and
household goods of all kinds. If near
by cities will open asylums for women
and children the situation will be
greatly relieved Coast cities should
send us water as well as provisions, in
Guiding kerosene oil, gasoline and can
dies"
Some order is being brought out OF
chaos, and something like systematic
attempt is being made to clear the
debris and remove the dead. Idlers are
being pressed into service at the point
of the bayonet and made to work, and
a military Gordon is being drawn
tighter and tighter about the place.
Every horse and mule that was left
In the city is In service. Supplies are
coming in from Houston, and the first
line of communication with the outside
world was opened yesterday via Texas
City. Large forces are working on the
railroads, and in few days the people
of Galveston believe the situation will
be greatly improved.
Among the saddest of many sad in
cidents of the storm was the loss Of the
families of two police officers while the
husbands and fathers were engaged in
rescue work. Officers Joe Bird and
John Rowan were assigned to rescue
work in the East End early Saturday
afternoon, and together with other Of
ficers they worked faithfully to succor
waterbound families near the gulf.
They rescued about 100 people from the
fury Of the storm. They returned to
the station only when the high water
hoated the patrol wagon and threaten
ed to drown the team of horses attach
ed to it. They had no idea that the
waters of the gulf had invaded the
western portion of the city, where
they lived, until they returned to the
police station and heard the report.
Rowan and Bird started Immediately
for their homes, but their families had
been swept away Officer Bird lost his
wife and five children and Officer Row
an his wife and three children.

ding it could have taken place at the

President and Mrs. McKinley's pres
ent to the bride is a highly polished
uuarter-oak chest, with silver mount
ings, filled with magnificent table sill
yer, including everything that Mr.. and
Mrs. Baer will need in the way of
spoons, forks, knives, carvers and off
pieces during their lives. The plate
on top of the chest bears the following
inscription: From Uncle William
and Aunt Ida, Sept. Il, 1900"
Other presents received by the bride
include a generous supply of brilliant
jewels, a bewildering assortment in
silver and cut glass tableware, unique
specimens of the celebrated Favritte
glass, solid gold soup spoons with the
brides monogram, NJ. A. NJ, artistical-
ly moulded in the specially designed
pattern, rare pieces of bronze and
marble candelabra of wondrOus beauty
and design, hand decorated china of
great beauty and value, almond sets OF
silver work, salad sets both in silver
and china, boullion set of painted china
with delicately chiseled silver holders,
silver bread trays of artistic patterns
and great intrinsic value, pieces of an
tique China and japanese ware, a mass
of table cutlery, weighty pitchers of
hammered silver of unique design, sill
yer toilet and manicure sets, an end
less variety of rare pieces of bric-a-
brac and numberless odd pieces of sill
yer. from bon bon dishes to massive
urns. In addition to the presents
mentioned Miss Mckinley has received
a large number of articles for her per-
sonal adornment, valuable oil paint
ings, engravings and etchings, table
linen of the finest texture and choice
speciments of embroidery.
Saturday it was thought that all Of
the presents had been received, but
yesterday the single expressman of the
town was obliged to make two trips
from the express office to the McKin-
ley residence in order to deliver Sun
days accumulations of some fifty
packages, large and small. One large
room in the Mckinley house has been
found inadequate to hold the mass of
presents, and everything that has ar
rived since Sunday has been placed in
an adjoining room. 1t would be hard
to tell which room contains the largest
number or which lot is of the greatest
value. There are enough, however, to
crowd an immense vault. 1t is notice.
able fact that all of the presents with
few exceptions, those which came from
old Ohio and Pennsylvania friends,
came from the close New York friends
of the family. Less than twenty are
from Washington. Many of the pres
ents are unique in that they are not
to be found in jewelry or silversmith
establishments, but have been made
from specially designed patterns.

l0.-The Americans and British are
considering the feasibility of transfer
ring their winter supply base from
TOng-ku to a point near Shan Hal
Kwan, on the Gulf of Liao-Tung, which
is free of ice and is also n railway ter
minus. The chief difficulty in the way
of the project is the lack of troops to
guard the railway.
Boxers are reported massing along
the grand canal.
A Christian refugee from Pao-Ting-
Flu. where Pekin officials were enlisting
troops when he left, asserts that he
saw large force of Boxers between
Pekin ana Pao-Ting-Fu.
He also brings authoritative news of
the massacre by provincial soldiers of
the American missionaries at Fen
Chow-iu On Aug. 15. Mr.. Atwater and
his wife, with their two children, Mr..
Legren and his wife and Miss English
were beheaded.
He also confirms the report of the
killing of % members of the English
mission at Tai-Yuan-Fu. At Tai-Ku,
where Miss Coombs was thrown into
the flames of the burning mission
buildings, and where ten French priests
were killed, all the members of the
American mission were eXterminated,
the men making a gallant defense un-
til their ammunition was exhausted.
He says there is no doubt that Miss
Whitechurch and Miss E. E. Searell
were murdered at Hsiayo, and he con-
firms the reported massacre of Miss
French and Miss Palmer, as well as
hundreds of native Christians in the
Chi-Shien district of the province of
Shan-Si.
The same refugee. giving further de-
tails as to the condition of the party
of foreigners already reported as under
siege, Aug. 25, by Chinese regulars in
the province of Shan-Si. says that the
party consisted of four priests, five
nuns, five European engineers and sew
eral missionaries, and that they were
surrounded by troops who had retreat
ed from Pekin. On the date in ques-
tion the foreigners were entrenched in
the French cathedral.
The latest reports received here from
Pekin say that the empress dowager is
in the province of Shan-Si, and that
the japanese are pursuing her.
