days with the gales that swept the North
Atlantic In one OF these gales both pro-
pellers were disabled and the rudder shaft
was broken. Assistance came in the nick
of time. The Karlsruhe was at hand and
in response to the signals for assistance
stood by. Eight times connections were
made between the two big steamers and as
many times the Karlsruhe lost her tow

to his post and the vessel was brought
safely TO Halifax. sometimes i'm tow of the
Karlsruhe and sometimes under her own
steam, and always conveyed by the Karls-
ruhe and the Matin Head

perience for the nine days that they bat

days not a man of the whole crew cot

the time Of the accident Captain Hurras-
sowitz slept but twelve hours Three
blades of the port propeller were carried
away, one and half OF the starboard pro-

DANGER IN THE ALLEGHENY
GREAT ICE GORGE SHOWING SIGNS
OF GOING TO PIECES.
Part of Long Island Under Water
HoIIows Converted Into Deep
Lakes-Rafts Necessary.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 26.-Residents
along the river front at Columbia are in a
state OF terror tonight. The worst flood
in recent years is being experienced. The
ice on the Susquehanna broke about 4
o'clock between Columbia and Marietta
and passed down stream until it reached
the old dam just below Columbia, where
Jam formed. Then the water began to
back up, and in a short time had risen
eight or nine feet. At o'clock the rise
was not so rapid. but 1t continued at an
alarming rate, and the flood was still
spreading at o'clock tonight. BY 7:SO
o'clock the water had entered the boiler
room of the electric light plant, drowning
the fires and leaving the town in darkness.
The tracks of the Columbia & Port Deposit
Railroad at some places are submerged and
piled with ice. The large sand dredging
trestle has been washed away and water
surrounds the city pumping station and
Brumner's lumber yards. If the rise con-
tinues at the present rate the lace mills
will be damaged and the two rolling mills
of the Susquehanna Iron Company put out
OF operation. In the darkness and confu-
sion il is impossible to ascertain the full
extent of the damage.
The COnestoga is pouring a great volume
of water into the river at Safe Harbor
This stream is higher than it has been for
thirty-five years. 1t tore away part of the
large dam at Slack Water and damaged
the electric light plant at that place, which
supplies Lancaster TO such an extent that
the streets Of this city are dark tonight.
At 9:3O o'clock tonight water was pour
ing over the great steel bridge of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
spans the Susquehanna from Columbia to
Wrightsyille.
At midnight the river was still rising
Ice has jammed against the bridge, extend
ing out from the Columbia shore to one
fourth of it's length, and is piled about
eight feet above its floor.

the Island of Samar. cables that Lieutenant
StrebIer's scouts captured Lukban, the no
torious leader of the Samar rebels. on the
ed inst. and brought him TO Laguan, capi-
tai of a small island of that name north of
and adjoining Samar. General Chaffee has
ordered that Lukban be treated as a pris-
oner OF war of officers rank.
Second Lieutenant Pratt, of the First In
fantry, has been engaged with force OF
the enemy at Cabagayan. north Samar, and
has captured an American calling himself
Dunston, who deserted from Company

We're killed Abukes soldiers wounded his

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The officials or
the War Department regard the capture
OF Lukban the most important event
since Aguinaldo's capture. He was run
down on the Island of Samar. The place
OF his confinement is a tiny island I'm
ba3 on the north coast Of Samar. Lukban
IS of the most energetic and ferecIous
of rebels. He is half breed. a mixture
of Chinese and Filipino stock, and he has
been an irreconcilable from the first he
had various Businesses in the mountains
of Samar from which he would descend
upon the coast towns, and his reign of
terror was so complete that the entire pop
ulation of the island paid tribute to him
as the price of freedom from attack. Ordi-
nary campaign methods failed in his case
and his capture now is believed TO be the
natural working out of the system of divid-
ing the island into small squares by mill
