COAST RESORTS ARE SAFE
Steamer Evelyn Stranded at Pensacola and Several Vessels are
Ashore in Mobile Bay.

I The damage in bath houses and
wharyes alone there is put at $40, 900.
Several scows were adrift. Captain
RIGHT went in a small boat up Per.
dido bay to Millview, and from there
by wagon to this city. He says his
steering chart went wrong and his
vessel stuck her nose in the sand in
about eight feet Of water, where she
was somewhat protected from the
main force of the gale. A survey was
held Saturday. The vessel is not
leaking, and it is believed she can be
pulled off without damage to her
hull. A contract was made with a
party here to discharge her cargo on
barges and tow it to the city. The
work of raising the small vessels that
sank in the bay is progressing. The
lumber cargo of the Dry Tortugas
from Mobile for Apalachioola is be.
ing unloaded and the vessel will be
raised.
The storm blew at the rate of sixty
miles an hour at the fort, and blew
down three kitchens of the officers
quarters. The mess hall was badly
damaged and the building adjoining
was unroofed. The tents used by the
workmen were blown away. The old
railroad track acted as a break water
for the camp, but finally gave way
and the camps were flooded with
water waist deep.

to have cut Sand Island into three

States engineers docks was badly

and freight from Fort

Washington, D. The navy depart
ment, which is directing all its ener-
gies toward hurrying ships to the
scene of the disturbance in order to
enforce our treaty guarantees, has
three ships on the way. The Machias,
which has been detained at Hampton
Roads by the threatening weather
south of Cape Hatteras, has started
on her journey, assurances having
been given by the weather bureau
that all dangers from the gulf storm
along the southern Atlantic has now
passed. This information was tele-
graphed to the commander Of the
Norfolk navy yard. Word was re-
ceived at the navy department that
the battleship Iowa had arrived at
San Francisco and she was instructed
by telegraph to proceed as soon as
possible to Panama on the west coast.
1t is probable she will have to take
some GOAL aboard. No word has come
from the Ranger at San Diego, and
the officials at the department are
somewhat puzzled at her delay in
starting. 1t was supposed that she
would be able to sail at short notice,
as her commander had warning to
prepare her for sea. The gunboat
Machias has weighed anchor and
sailed for Colon.
