TO REINFORCE THE FLEET.
All Possible Being Done to Hasten Ships to
Asiatic Waters.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, Sept. 24.-The Navy De-
partment is doing everything in its pow
er to expedite the dispatch of the ships
which the Government has decided to
send to the Asiatic station to reinforce
our fleet there. The Wilmington, at
tached to the South Atlantic station, has
sailed from Palmyra for Montevideo,
where she will coal and sail Immediately
to China by way of the Mediterranean.
Tine cruiser Albany, now in GreciaG
waters was today ordered to proceed to
Manila. The other ships selected for
service in Asiatic waters, the battleship
Kentucky, the gunboats Annapolis and
Vicksburg and the converted yacht Doro-
thea, are in American waters. All will
go into dry dock at once. 1t is expected
that all the vessels will have arrived at
their destination by December 1st.
With the addition of these six ships
the United States feet in Asiatic waters
will consist of thirty-four vessels, by far
the largest American fleet ever employed
on strictly foreign service.
Rear Admiral Remey will remain in
command of the American naval forces
and probably will make the port of Ma
Mia his principal headquarters. The fleet
will be divided into two divisions, the
first cruising in the Philippines to be
under the direct command of Admiral
Remey and the second which will con-
fine it's cruising to Chinese waters will
be commanded by Rear Admiral Kempff,
who is the second ranking officer on the
station.

Wherever we attempted to stop, however,

campment at Harausa We saw that fight
across the great Cobb desert was inevi-
table. Having secured a caravan we
started June 23rd. Just before starting
seven Swedish missionaries with their
families who had just escaped with their
lives joined us. One lady had terrible
experience. She had been almost club
bed to death while some of the males
were frightful spectacles, being covered
with blood.
"Our caravan consisted of twenty
camels. nineteen horses and six camel
carts for the ladies and children.
'eFor eight days we travelled over moth
ing but sand. The air was like that of an
oven and the suffering was intense. The
animals had no grass and no water and
marching in the daytime was impossible.
At the few isolated wells Mongols were
encamped in the vicinity, and they re-
fused to allow US to draw water, fearing
we would poison the wells.
"After SO days of terrible anxiety we
reached Urga on the other side of the
desert. We presented a sorry spectacle.
The Russian Consul General was most
kind. He gave up to US IA rooms in
the consulate. But to our dismay the
consul told us we must leave forthwith
as there were 1000 Mongol soldiers in
the neighborhood who might be hostile.
He also warned us that tens of thous-

10y Lu6 ASSOCldl6u L 1891
Cologne, Sept. 24.-The Kolnische lei
tung publishes an inspired telegram from
Berlin in which the Washington Govern
ments reply to the German note is char
acterized as a manifest effort to assist
the Chinese Government to accept the
proposals with regard to the punishment
of the leaders in the Chinese trouble.
The telegram points out that though the
American reply shows an indulgent dis
position it must not be deduced there
from that the Washington Government
thinks the United States trade and mis-
sionary interests require less careful pro-
lection than those of the other powers,
but that the United States Government
is compelled to be indulgent owing to the
unfavorable effect upon the situation in
the Philippines caused by the transfer
of troops from those islands to China.
For a settlement between the powers
and China it makes no difference, how
ever, asserts the telegram, whether
America co-operates any further or not.

Houston, Texas. Sept. 24.-The town of
Brentwood has not been seriously dam
aged by the overflow of Pecan Bayou, nor
have any lives been lost. The water
flooded the town and some damage result
ed from this cause Trains will be run
ming through tomorrow over both the
Santa Fe and the Rio Grande. The rise in
the Trinity has not reached the lower
river and the people in the towns have
been warned by the newspapers. There
are few telegraph stations along the
course of the Trinity. and it is difficult
to get reliable information of the damage
done. The rise in the Brazos has reached
Herne and the people in the bottoms have
been warned that an overflow is possible,
but not probable. The greatest damage
has been to cotton open in the fields.
CORRESPONDENTS at all points in North
Texas report this loss as heavy. The re-
ports from West Texas are meagre as
to damage done by the Neuces River. The
country is sparsely settled and it will be
some days before accurate information is
obtainable. 1t is reported that thirty or
forty Italians employed on sheep ranches
were drowned.

advance of this great rise will sweep by
Austin about midnight and all parties in
the lowlands to the south of the city and
and all points reached by either telegraph
