BURGLARS
DARING DEEDS

A gang of burglars is at work in the
night and Thursday morning several
Nuuanu street business houses were
broken into and articles of value and
money taken.
That the gang picked out a street in
the business district in which to oper-
ate in and chose to force the front
entrances indicates that the men are
old hands at the business and know
the police conditions
The shop of On Hing, a Chinese mer-
chant. was broken into in a bold man
ner.
The display window which is very
thick plate glass was shattered by a
trinkats were distracted from the
showcase. The proprietor estimates his
loss Mt about S120.
The strangest feature of the robbery
is that there We're no police officers in
the vicinity at the time. The shat
tering of a plate glass window at deat
of night makes quite noise, but NJ
turb the burglars as they piled theil
trade.
The Hoffman, saloon, corner of Nuu'
anu and Hotel streets. was a sufferer
to the extent of So cash. 1t is suppos-
ed that an entrance was affected by
going through one of the Chinese
stores and getting in at a back win.
dow
~ stepladder made the ascent to the
window an easy matter, and the win
dow offered but little obstruction tC
the thieves entrance. a screen was
placed before the window so that they
could not be seen from the street Ar
attempt was made to open the safe by
means of n chisel, which was unsuC,
cessful. About $3.50 was in the safe.
The next foray seems to have taker
place in the Royal Annex saloon, al.
most opposite the police station clerks
office.
Entrance was effected at the rear by
cutting a hole in the door The lock
was cut out first but an iron bar held
the door and a panel was removed.
Nothing of value was stolen. The
money had been put away in the safe.
The police department yesterday had
not the slightest clue to the identity
of the burglars.
There are a number of rough charac-
ters in town who came into port late
ly. These are being watched by the
detectives.

WORST IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
San Antonio Suffers From Terrible
Storm that Flooded streets ana
Did Great Damage.

San Antonio Suffers From n Terrible
storm that Flooded Streets and
Did Great Damage.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April THE
heaviest rain an electric storm IN 30
years visited San Antonio and the en-
tire southwest last night, beginning IN
San Antonio at night and raging with
dreadful fury until o'clock this morn
ing. destroying all street lights, flood
ing cellars and overfiowing San Pedro
creek and San Antonio river.
Two fire engines worked all night
to save the $4,000 electric light, ice
and cold storage plant in the basement
of the Menger hotel, with only partial
success. With the exception of an es-
timated damage to this plant, the dam
age to overfiowed property in the city
will reach several thousand dollars.
The only train into San Antonio to-
day was on the International & Great
Northern from Laredo. No trains have
gone out. The International & Great
Northern reports two bridges destroyed
between Taylor and Austin. On the
Arkansas Pass railroad the Guada-
loupe river bridge on the Kerrville
branch and also the Cibolo river bridge
on the Gulf Shore road are gone. The
Salodo creek bridge on the Corpus
Christi line had its approaches wash
ed away and several washouts are re-
ported on theWaco line of theArkansas
Pass, and the bridge of that road over
the Colorado river at West Point was
swept away by the flood from the Aus
tin dam, as was also the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas bridge lower down. The
storm was particularly furious at Cor
pus Christi and Rockport, on the Gulf
coast. A schooner is reported lost at
the latter place.
Rain is reported to have done much
damage to growing crops and garden
truck. No Geographic communication
can be had west of, Del Rio, on the
Southern Pacific, and the damage be-
yond that point is not known. 1t will
be many days before trains can run to
Ell Paso.
In Rockport many houses were
blown off their foundations and chin
neys, sheds, fences and windmills are
blown down. Shipping suffered most.
Out of about thirty boats lying at an
Choir in front of the town, only three
rode the storm suffering no damage.
