COMMUNICATION RESTORED.
Railroad TrafRc Between Mobile
and New Orleans Resumed
Tales of the Flood.

Mobile, Ala. Aug. 19.-The Louis
lille & Nashville railroad, which. was
put out of business between this city
and New Orleans by the gulf storm,
was put in condition yesterday, the
first train from New Orleans arriv-
ing at Mobile during the day. Tele-
graphic communication with New Or
leans was obtained yesterday for the
first time since the storm.
Several linemen who have been
working below came into Mobile last
night. They say the water in the
Tensas swamp, through which the
Louisville & Nashville runs, complete
" demoralized the wild animals which
have their haunts in that wild waste.
Many deer came upon the railroad
to escape the flood, and a lineman
caught one which was so exhausted
by swimming that it was unable to
get away. A big black bear also came
out of the swamp, but was not cap
tured.
Information from the steamer Eve
Iyn, ashore on the south coast, near
the entrance of Pensacola harbor, In
to the effect hat she lies in an easy
position, and can probably be pulled
off. Towboat men of Mobile IRE ar
ranging to pail her out of the sand.

CUBAN SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Boards of Urged to Use
Great Care in SeIection-The
Presidency of Cuba.

Havana, Aug. 19.-Senor Varona has
issued a circular to the presidents of
boards of education throughout Cuba,
reminding them that they should use
great care in the selection of teach
ers, and should not allow the political
opinions of candidates to weigh for
or against them. Recently complaints
have been made that the appoint
ments of teachers by boards of edu-
cation have not been marked by fair
ness; and the patria, the Realidad
and the Neuvo Pals say the circular
is much needed, although they eX-
press the opinion that nothing is like
ly to come of it.
"The supporters of Estrada Palma
r propagating the idea," says the
Realidad, that he is the American
governments candidate for the pres
idency of Cuba, and the only man WHO
will be accepted by the United States.
But there is no evidence to support
this contention. All the Americans
want is a man who accepts the Platt
amendment

THE GULF COAST STORM.
It Ts Believed to Have Been the
Most Severe in the Vicinity
Of Mobile.
MANY OMNIBUS ECHOES UAc0aFIRMED.
There are Reports OF Much Damage
Along the Coast and Some Loss OF
Life, But Reliable Statements OF
the Latter Feature are Not Yet
O~btainabIe.

Mobile, Ala. Aug. 16.-The tropical
storm which came up out of the south
Wednesday and increased in force
du,ing the day following is believed
to have been the severest in the vi
cinity of Mobile. The highest wind
blew at the rate of 20 miles an hour
for some time. Various reports of
the drowning of men in the bay have
reached here, but it is impossible to
confirm them, owing to the complete
cation.
The pleasure yacht Ariel, bound for
Fish river with a party of Mobile
people on board, is reported to have
pounded to pieces on the wharf at
Battles, on the eastern shore of the
bay. Nothing has been heard of the
crew.
The pleasure yacht May1ower, of
this city, with a party of prominent
people on board, reported lost this
morning, has been heard from. All
on board found refuge on Cat island,
but the boat was wrecked.
Nothing has been heard from Fort
Morgan. Two companies of the coast
artillery T stationed there. The
barracks undoubtedly received the
full force of the blow.
No communication can be had with
any of the islands in Mississippi
sound, just outside the bar, 40 miles
below here. All news concerning the
fate of the islanders must come by
boat, and this is anxiously awaited.
The fruit steamer Harald, from
Puerto Cortez, arrived late tonight
She reports speaking a two-masted
schooner 81 miles southeast of this

by the break of Blooms. Saw logs and
squared timber drifted into Mobile
all day, much of it coming up on
Royal street, three blocks from the
water front.
The Dixie sawmill and the mill OF
Heircumus Bros, located al Magazine
Point, were badly damaged, parts OF
the plants being blown away.
No estimate of the damage in Mo.
bile is possible at this time.

VENEZUELA AND COLOMBIA.
The Possible Consequences of the
Central American Affair From
n French Standpoint.

New York, Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris quotes The
Matin as saying:
ut is in its possible consequence
that the almost dramatic interest of
the Venezuelan and Colombian con-
f1ict lies. 1t is this that ought to fix
the interest of the public on this OPP
eretta war. Venezuela is not on the
eve of war with Colombia; it is on
the eve of war with the United States.
1t is not impossible that the whole
Observation-Disclosures affair will end
by a bit of land grabbing, and that
here and there territory will be taken
that will teach President Castro that
it is dangerous to attack the United
States, and will teach Colombia that
it is dangerous to get it to defend

No New Developments in the Situa-
ton i'm Western pennsylvania.
Ohio or West Vi~rginia-The Steel
Corporation Preparing to Open
Up Other Mills.

Plttsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-The rever-
sal of front by the men of Joliet has
cheered the steel strikers more than
any other ven Of the week and their
hopes again seem high. 1t has ended,
for the time being, all talk of peace
by compromise and given the fight the
aspect of a prolonged one. The strik-
ers declare, in their enthusiasm, that
they will force the Milwaukee men to
join with them, and that, in the end,
the Chicago steel workers, rather
than lose the hallmark of unionism,
will finally reconsider their action
and swing into line. This optimistic
programme remains to be carried out,
however. The loss at Joliet has had
no apparent effect upon the men who
are directing the field operations of
the steel corporation. One of them
remarked, when he heard the news
from Joliet: We'll, it seems to be
settling down to a long-drawn-out
fight, and / guess we can win at that
sort of game"
There We're no developments in the
situation in western PENNSYLVANIA,
Ohio II West Virginia. McKeesport
and Wheeling continue silent, while
here, in Pittsburg and vicinity, no eff
fort was made to add to the force at
the mills which are working, either
partly or in full, with non-union men.
The Steel corporation is preparing to
reopen the steel works at Monessen.
White men are being brought up from
the south, and it is expected hal by
Monday a start will be made there.
Every precaution to guard the nom
union men is being taken, as it is
feared that when they arrive some of
the strikers and their sympathizers
can not he held in check by their lead
ers. The American Tin Plate. Co. Off
Gals have plans for resumption at
some of their idle plants, but have
carried no more of them as yet. The
strikers claim that the Lower Union
Carnegie mill and the Lindsay & Me-
Cutcheon mills are impaired, but this
the steel officials deny.
Talk of peace has been dropped fol-
the time being, and it is agreed that
in its present aspects the situation
indicates a prolonged and stubborn
contest.
President Shaffer was an early ar
rival at strike headquarters and
talked freely about the situation.
When asked if Trustee Pierce had
gone east to do some organizing he
said:
Il will not talk on Mr.. Pierce's
trip"
"Win he go to Duncansville?" was
asked.
The Amalgamated association
never sought to organize those men,"
he said. They sent word for us TIC
send an organizer there. We did so,
with the result that is already known.
We have not troubled ourselves about
them since. They do not amount TO a
row of pins, and if they come into the
association, it must be voluntarily. ]
have received a telegram from Mr..
Tiehe, stating that the Joliet men
are out and that he will go to Mil
waukee."
