CRUISER YOSEMITE LOST
in A TERRIFIC TYPH0ON

New York. Nov. 29-Advices have
been received here from Manila that
the island of Guam was visited by a
terrific typhoon on November 18TH,
which wrecked thousands of houses,
among them being the headquarters of
Governor Schroeder. The towns of In
drajan and Terraforo We're swept away,
and it is estimated that hundreds of the
native population in various parts of
the island met their death. The cocoa
nut crops were rendered absolutely
worthless, and the vegetation of the
island killed by salt water. The storm
came up in the forenoon and swept
across the island with amazing rapid
ity.
The United States auxiliary cruiser
Yosemite, which was anchored ada
cent to the collier Justin, dragged her
anchor and was driven aground hun
dred and fifty yards from the reef her
bows being crushed in. a launch with
a crew of five men had previously left
the ship to endeavor to find n safe an
chorage for the vessel, the indications
being that the anchors would not hold
where she was. The men We're not seen
after they left the ship, and it is prac-
tically certain that the heavy sea which
the storm kicked up swamped their

of the crew volunteered to take a life
line ashore. A boat was lowered for
this purpose, but it was Immediately
swamped by n big sea that swept over
it. Ali its occupants were carried away
from the boat but they miraculously
succeeded in reaching the land after an

FOOTBALL SPECTATORS FALL
INTO VATS OF MOLTEN GLASS

San Francisco. Nov. 30.-As n result
of the most horrible catastrophe that
ever occurred in San Francisco, ten
people were killed and fully fifty bad
ly injured by the collapse of the roof
of the Pacific Glass Works on Fif-
teenth street
About seventy-fve people fell
through the roof upon the read-hot fur
naces and glass watts below. All were
horribly burned and it is feared that
in addition to the ten deaths already re-
ported there will be several more.
Two hundred people. all men and
boys, had gathered on the sheet iron
roof of the glass works to obtain free
view of the annual football game be-
tween Stanford and the University of
California.
About twenty minutes after the game
had commenced, there was n crash,
plainly audible from the football
grounds, and portion of the crowd on
the roof went down to a horrible death
below. The fires in the furnaces had
been started for the first time yester-
day and the watts We're full of liquid
glass.
1t was upon these that the victims
fell. Some were killed instantly and
others were slowly roasted to death.
The few who missed the furnaces or
rolled off, together with workmen in
the glass works saved the lives of
many who lay unconscious by pulling
them away from their horrible resting
place.
The police and fire department We're
soon at hand and every patrol wagon
and ambulance in the city was sum
moned. They We're not enough and eN-
press wagons and private carriages
were pressed into service to carry Off
the dead and wounded. Many of the
injured were unconscious while others
were raced. shrieking with agony, TO

WATER BOND SALE
is ATTACKED

Denver, Colo, Nov. 30.-The legality
of the water bonds of the city of Den
yer has been brought into question be
for the United States Circuit Court. AT
$50 O'Clock last evening Charles j.
Hughes, representing Mrs. Sallie
Grant, appeared before Judge ]. A. Ri
ner and asked an injunction to pre-
vent the sale of the bonds.
The injunction is directed against the
Board of Public Works, and was grant
ed temporarily on the showing that
S1O0, 900 worth of bonds had been de-
livered, that the sale was being COM
pleted and there was no other adequate
remedy. She contends that the bonds
are invalid.
The complaint is lengthy document,
and reviews the whole case, pointing
out what steps taken were not in ac-
cord with the law.
In granting the temporary Injunction
prayed Judge Riner set December 7th
as the time for n hearing on the request
to make the injunction perpetual.
Mrs. Sallie Grant is the owner of the
Kittredge building in this city, and is
resident of Los Angeles, California.
She is the daughter of the late Sena-
tor Jerome B. Chaffee. She is now
the wife of U. S. Grant, Jr., and is the
owner of large amount of Denver
property. AS resident of another
state whose property interests are
threatened by the issue of the bonds,
she opposes them on behalf of herself
and other owners.

majority of the boats had been either
smashed or carried out of the davits.
and those that We're left could not ac-
commodate half the crew, even if it
had been possible for them to live in
the enoIm nous seas that were by this
time running.
A sea anchor had been put out and
this held the Yosemite up in the teeth
of the storm and prevented her from
falling off into the trough of the sea.
She rode to this anchor and drifted
rapidly until g o'clock in the evening,
when the weather cleared. The cruiser
was then sixty miles north and forty
miles west of Guam. She had labored
so heavily that she had sprung leak,
and all hands, including her command
er, Lieutenant Brief, and the chief en-
gineer, worked beroically in trying to
clear her of the water that was pour
ing into and rapidly filling the forward
compartments.
After the violence of the storm had
subsidized efforts were made to start the
engines. They were finally got to work,
and the Yosemite, with her damaged
propeller, struggled landward at the
rate of two knots an hour. The water
kept gaining in the hold, and the ship
was gradually sinking.
At 1:3O p. m, November 18th, the
Justin, which had started in search of
the Yosemite. picked her up and at
tempted TO tow her back to Guam.
Two hawsers We're broken, and it was
then decided that it was impossible to
take her into port. The cruiser was
then scuttled, after which she was
abandoned. all hands going aboard the
Justin.
The Yosemite sank bow first at 3
o'clock, and the Justin stood away for
Guam. Paymaster Ballard saved S6S,-
600 Mexican money from the sinking
ship.
The Yosemite is sixteen-knot con-
verted cruiser of CLIO tons displace-
ment and is provided with a main bat
terry of ten five-inch rapi1-fire guns and
n secondary battery of six siN-pounders
and two Colt rifles. She has n compile
ment of eighteen officers and 26I men.
Her measurements are 391 feet in
length by forty-eght feet extreme
breadth. She has a mean draft of
twenty feet one inch.

According to the results OF studies by
Prof. A. E. Verrill the beautiful Ber-
muda Islands are merely the remnant
OF an island, very much larger than
ths present entire group, but which
has sunk in the ocean. The original
island had an area of 300 or 400 square
miles, whereas the Bermudas today are
only about twenty square miles in
area Within a comparatively recent
period. says Prof. Verrill, the Bermu-
das have subsided at least so or 100
feet Their base is the summit OF an
ancient volcano. while their surface
is composed of shell sand drifted into
hills by the wind and consolidated by
infiltration.

Captain S. p. Emmerson. who has
Just died in Denver. was distinguished
as the leader of company of irregular
Confederate forces, commonly known
as guerrillas, who hoped to capture or
destroy Chicago. Captain Emmerson
escaped capture on that occasion by
stealing a horse and riding away.
Many of the exploits Of his command
were as daring as those of the Quan-
trell, Morgan or Moseby raiders. He
was once captured in Kentucky, but
escaped by cutting a hole In the roon
of his prison. Captain Emmerson was
q warm friend to the James boys. He
never recovered from the grief caused
by the fall of the Confederacy.
