New Orleans, Sept. 25.-A special
| from Austin, Tex, says: a telephone
message received here last night by the
chief Of police from Llano says that
San Saba, forty miles north of that
place, containing about 1000 people
was partially swept away by the food
in the San Saba river, which was still
rising. All bridges had been carried
off.
No news could be had from San Saba
people last night, the wires all being
down. 1t is feared there has been great
loss of life in the bottoms, as the rise
was in the night and came without
warming"

OBJECT OF BIG FLEET:
TO BLOCK LUZON PORTS

Chronicle Specially The navy depart
ment is losing no time in carrying ont
the decision of the administration &c
strengthen the United States naval
fCrces on the Asiatic station. Admiral
Schley's South American squadron,
already small, will be still further de-
Pleted by the departure of the gun.
boat Wilmington from Montevideo in
a few days. The Albany, now in the
Mediterranean, is under orders to 90
to China at once via the Suez canal,
and the gunboats Annapolis and Vicks-
burg and the converted yacht Doro-
thea will leave American waters as
soon as they can be put in condi-
sion.
The fleet under Admiral Remey will
still be further augmented by the bat
tleshiP Kentucky. which, with the
other cruisers and gunooats now on
the Asiatic, will bring the strength of
our naval force in oriental waters up
to a total of 81 vessels. The fleet
will consist of two battleships, one
armored cruiser, three cruisers, three
monitors, IL guu boats and eight aux
iliary yachts and dispatch boats.
This force is only exceeded by that
Of Great Britain. France. Germany.
Japan, Russia and Austria all have
smaller forces, both as to mum Der and
strength, and should hostilities occur
between the allies there is no danger
that the United States will be over
matched at the outset.
This fleet is being assem- bled osten-
sibly for the protection of American
interests in China and as show of
force to the other powers now in
volved in the Chinese imbroClio.
But it is admitted that not all the
vessels are to be stationed in Chinese
waters. The significant announce
ment was made today that Admiral
Remey is to be in supreme command
On that station, with headquarters at
Manila, with Admiral Kempff, second
in command, at Taku or some other
Chinese port.
President Mckinley and his cabinet
advisers do not believe that the i'm
mense naval force mobilizing in
oriental waters will ever train a gun
on a ship dying the dag of one of the
European powers or of Japan. The
real use for this fleet will be to block
ade Luzon during the coming winter
and assist in bringing the
war in the Philippines to a close. The
president realizes that the latest news
from Manila, showing continued fight
iug by the natives. does not bear out
the repeated assertions of Gen. Otis
and the Philippine commission that
armed opposition to his authority has +,
ceased. he has, therefore, deter |
mined to make the coming campaign |
