NEEDS OF THE NAVY.
Rear Admiral Crovvninshie1d says
1t Is Sadly in Need of More
60 Men,

Washingt on, NOVELETTE, startling state
5ment is made in the report of Rear Admiral
Crowninshield. chief of the navigation
bureau, that the present personnel of the
navy would form barely one-fourth Of the
total establishment necessary to fight a
first-class European power. 1t barely suf-
feed for the Spanish war, and no longer
can be considered. the report says, as an eff
fective nucleus about which larger estab-
lfshment could be formed in case of war
Z This need Of the navy for officers and men
is declared to be most urgent. The naval
academy is said to be suffering for want of
instructors, and the present high standard
-of training cannot be maintained. Every
bureau in the department is short of Off
GERS, and the service, the report predicts,
soon will fall behind in the struggle, first,
: for leadership. and then for equality with
the other services. The report severely
criticises the ineffective effort of congress
at the last session to meet immediate needs
for officers by authorizing the employment
of retired officers, and demands the i'm
mediate repeal of that act. 1t Is recon-
mended that for the next ten years appoint
sments to the naval academy be doubled,
the president and Representatives in con-
gress appointing two instead Of one wher-
ever authorized now, and in addition SEN
ators being given the same privilege of ap-
pointment as representatives. Then, to
meet future needs. 1t is recommended that
whenever congress authorizes an increase
OF vessels to the navyit also provide, in the
same act, for an increase Of officers and
men to man the ships.

'PERISHED IN A FLOOD
eight Persons Drowned at
Waco, Texas.
GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
Succession Of ClOudbursts Raised the
Streams to ~ Unprecedentedly
High Stage.

Waco, Tex, April 3O.-A cloud
burst, accompanied by high wind, de.
,cended upon this city at noon today,
md the result is that eight people are
known to have perished in the city linn
it's, and property valued at many thou.
,and dollars has been destroyed or in.
iured. The known dead are: Mrs.
Nancy Caudle, Miss Clara Caudle, Rosa
Chapman, Emma Decker Thomas
Capps, Frank Walker and two negro
men, names unknown.
The downpour of rain commenced
about noon and was incessant until
lark. 1t was in the shape of water
spout, and the rise in the creeks and
branches was SO rapid that it did not
give the inhabitants time to fee.
Three persons, two women and man,
all colOred, were drowned within 100
yards of the city hall. Their bodies
were washed into the Brazos river and
have not been recovered.
There were several people, mostly
negroes, standing on a bridge watching
the rapid rise of Bsrron's branch, when
the bridge, brick structure. gave
away without warning. precipitating
them into the water.
The number positively known to
have been drowned within the city
limits tonight is eight, and it is al
most certain that several more lives
have been lost. Searching parties are
out looking for the drowned and help
ing to move those who are in danger or
distress. In the southern part of the
city, where the two white women,
Mrs. Caudle aud her daughter, lost
their lives, the rise was the highest
ever known. The damage done by the
storm will be heavy.
Incoming reports indicate that one of
the heaviest rainfalls experienced in
years visited many sections of the state,
and rivers and smaller streams are
again rising rapidly. All points along
the Brazos and Colorado rivers have
been notified, and while much damage
to property may result from another
rise, vet it is believed that the timely
warning will enable those who live in
the valleys fully to protect themselves.
Reports from Belmont and Rockport
state that the storm was especially
severe in those sections.

whole Family Hanged. /.

Cambridge, Nd, April 30.-A
German family consisting of Carl Ker-
mig, his wife and son, were discovered
dead in their little farm house seven
miles from this city, each corpse hav-
ing moose about the neck. Strangu-
lation was probably the cause of death
in each case. From the decompOsed
condition of the bodies it is thought
the act must have been committed sew
eral days ago. As far as known the
last seen OF any member of the family
was on last Saturday. when the elder
Kernig came to Cambridge and drew
5000 from q bank. No trace of this
money could be found today. The au-
thorities are of the opinion that yourg
Carl Kernig assisted his father and
mother to hang themselves, and then,
after making a half hitch with the
rope, strangled himself and fell where
be was found today.

Yokohama, April 7.-(Via San Fran

MasampO incident and the fears of Rus
sian encroachments in Corea. are today
entirely in the shade by the tidings
which indicate serious trouble in China
and the approach of another of the
crises of which the empress dowager's
reign has been so prolific.
1t is quite evident that this restless
female intriguer has another coup in
contemplation, and it Is as evident that
this time the western powers are re-
solved by concerted action to prevent
it, as is evidenced by the presence of
their fleets. The China Gazette, in a
recent editorial, has declared that "if

Hsui Tong, on the one hand, and by the
Russian and other continental political

horror and bloodshed is not far of.
The people and even many of the Man

certainly in the middle and south, are
ready to rise and throw of the strang.

PERU AND CHILE UNEASY.

Former Looks to United States to
Smooth Their Difficulties.
Washington, April 28.-The present
dispute between Chilli and Peru is a
legacy of the last war between those
two countries, about Is years ago.
One of the terms of peace was that the
victor, Chile, should occupy the two
valuable Peruvian nitrate provinces of
Tacna and africa, adjoining the Chilean
boundary on the north. for period of
10 years.
At the end of that period the people
of the provinces were to determine by
their vote whether their lands should
remain in the possession of Chile or re-.
vert to Peruvian sovereignty. In the
first case, Chile was to pay Peru 10,-
900, 600 silver soles, while if the prov
ince was returned to Peru, the govern
ment of that country was to pay Chile
corresponding sum of money. The
allegation is now that the treaty pro-
vision on this point was not exacted;
that there was no plebescite and that
no money passed.
Because the United States was deeply
interested in bringing about the peace
which terminated the bitter war be-
tween Chile and Peru, it is probably
assumed by the Peruvians that oul
government likewise retains an interest
in the faithful execution of the terms
of the treaty. 1t must, however, be
admitted that up to this time our gov
ernment has not manifested any par
ticular interest in the subject, and has
not even received any application. Sc
cret or otherwise. from either of the
parties to intervene at this last phase,
though the reports from South America
seem to indicate purpose on the part
of the Peruvians, at least, to enlist our
sympathies in our behalf.
