Crew Who Had Started to Find an An

Houses Wrecked.

New York, Nov. 29.-Advices have
been received here from Manila that
the island of Guam was visited by a
terrific typhoon on November IS,
which wrecked thousands of houses,
among them being the headquarters
of Gov. Schroeder. TIL. towns of In
drajan and -Terraforo were swept
away. and it is estimated that hun
dreds of the native population in vari-
Gus parts of the island met their
deaths. The cocoanut crops were rem
dered absolutely worthless ard the
vegetation of the island killed by salt
water. The storm came up in the
forenoon and swept across the island
with amazing rapidity.
The United States auxiliary cruiser
Yosemite, which was anchored ada
cent to the colliery Justin, dragged
her anchor and was driven aground
$50 yards from the reef, her bows be
ing crushed in. A launch with a crew
of five men had previously lett the
ship to endeavor to find safe anchor
age for the vessel, the indications be-
ing that the anchors would not hold
where she was. The men were not

is practically certain that the heavy
sea which the storm kicked up
swamped the launch. The bodies of
Coxswain F. Swanson and Seaman
George Anhel were recovered after
the typhoon subsidized.
The storm veered around after the
Yosemite grounded, and she was
driven off Ind carried on to the
Somaye cliffs, where her rudder and
propeller were broken. Boatswain
Sweeny and IL of the crew volunteered
to take life line ashore. A boat was

mite, which had again been blown off
the land, was drifting helpIessly be-
fore the gale, which was blowing at
the rate of 100 miles an hour.

TUNNEL UNDER THE sHA.
It Is Proposed to Connect Europe and AZ
RIGA by Digging Under the straight of
Gibraltar for 20 Miles.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The state de
partment has received a report con-
veying further information as to the
proposed tunnel from Europe to Afri-
ca under the strait of Gibraltar, from
George NJ. Murphy, consular clerk at
Madgeburg, Germany. By working
simultaneously from both ends of
the tunnel, it is believed the date OF
completion could be safely placed at
1907. The proposed length of the
tunnel is 25 miles, 90 miles of this
under the sea. Railway connection
in Europe is planned by means of
line following the Spanish coast and
passing. through Tarifa and Algeciras
into France. In Morocco a line would
be constructed from Tangier, con-
Meeting with the railroad system at
Tiemecen. The entire cost of the
tunnel alone is approximated at over
$23, 100000 and of the entire connect
ing line between Spain and Algiers
at about $40, 100000.

BITTER TOWARD GERMANY.
Kaiser's Military Operations in China Rival
the Boxer Outrages and Troops Are
Committing Excuses.

Washington, Dec. "A growing dis
position on the part of the powers
to show dissatisfaction with Ger
many's military course is being man
ifested. The accounts of the opera
lions of the German expeditionary
forces are shocking. They show that
the spirit of revenge is being carried
to extremes which cannot be coun-
tenanced by civilized nations. The
German troops are committing ex-
cesses which, if not soon checked,
will rival the outrages of the boxers.
just how Germany will be made to
feel that her course is becoming dis
tasteful to the other powers cannot
be foreseen. The official sentiment
is increasing against continuance
of the military operations by that
power.

BUSY RAISING FAGs.
British Officers in the AntipOdes Are An

Name of the Queen.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 3.-AfaiI ad-
vices from Australia indicate that
Great Britain has been busy in the
antipodes raising flags, reading proc
lamations of sovereignty to the ma
tives and anneXing all the available
territory. The governor of New
Zealand, which is outside the Austria
lasian federation, has formally an
neXed on behalf of England the Cook
group, the Harvey group and Nieu, or
Savage island. The Cook group in
cludes the Raratonga, Mangaia, Atiu
Cauke, Mitiero, Takutea, Canae and
Anto islands. Each was visited by
Lord Ranfurly, who explained to the
chiefs of the various tribes the pur-
pose of Great Britain. Royal salutes
were then fired and the British flag
hoisted on each island.

A ROAR FROM CROKER.
The Tamlnany Chtes Must Pay England an
Income Tax Help Supports the
BOer War.

New York, Dec. IA London
special says that Richard Croker finds
the English income tax assessor
thorn in his side. Notice was served
on him Immediately on his arrival in
England that he had been assessed on
an income of 100000. The tax will
be unusuall; high this year because
of the Boer war. 1t is figured that
Mr.. Croker will have to give up about
$4,000. Croker was furious over the
assessment and appealed personally
against the tax to the local com
mittee at Vantage. His protest did
no good. Cookers opinion of the
South African war probably afforded
the assessors additional qualification
in making him pay his full share of
the cost of it.

A lecturer on foods says that the
amount of sugar to be given to chill
dren and the best form in which to
provide it are important questions OF
their diet. 1t is admitted that sugar
is food especially adapted to chill
dren, because of their great activity
and proportionately greater need of
heat and energy. These same author
tiles agree that sugar should not be
combined with the staple food of
the child; that is, put in milk or
sprinllled on cereals, but should be
furnished in Jumps or in homemade
candies.
