Loss Of Life and Property Great In Western
New York.

Buffalo, N. Y. (SpeciaD.-A terrific
rain and wind storm swept over West
ern New York. Rivers and creeks rose
rapidly, overhowing their banks and
sweeping away houses and barns and
live stock. The loss will reach into hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down
and communication with small towns IN
Wyoming, Niagara and Cattaraugus
counties is difficult to establish. This
city was not in the path OF the storm
A dispatch from Arcade says the Hood
at that place claimed one victim and did
many thousand dollars damage to prop
erty. Minnie Loper, who kept bak-
cry on the bank OF the creek, was
drowned early in the day. The down
pour and the cloudburst above the vii
lage turned the creek into torrent. The
water rose rapidly and was several feet
deep on the lowlands before anyone
realized the danger Miss Loper's bake
shop was swept out into the stream, but
it had not gone far before it fell apart.

PRESIDENT AT OYSTER BAY.
VIII Take a Rest at Ills Summer Home After
The Trusts.

Oyster Bay L. I, (SpeciaD.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was given very cordial
welcome upon his arrival here. When
the train approached the little station OF
the Long Island Railroad every whistle
IN the village, through prearrangei
signal. was set going and the old friends
and associates OF the President gathered
on the platform to extend their greet
lngs. When he alighted they complete
ly surrounded him, and for time pre-.
vented his children, Kermet Ethel and
Archie, who had been awaiting his corn
ing, from getting at him. When finally
they did so he embraced them in a man.
ner that gave unmistakable evidence Of
his delight at being home"
Mrs. Roosevelt did not come to the
depot but Assistant Secretary Loeb was
there After exchanging greetings with
his friends and neighbors the President
entered an open surrey with his three
children and started in a violent rain
and thunderstorm for Sycamore Hill.
Neither he nor the children seemed any
the worse for their drenching.
During the journey from Pittsburg TO
Oyster Bay the President frequently
spoke Of how glad he was at the pros
pect OF being with his family, and escap.
ing to considerable extent many OF
the official cares which had constantly
beset him in Washington.
The trip across New York to the
Long Island Railroad depot was made
in carriages under the escort OF fou7
mounted officers One OF these was Pa
trolman Hefferan. whom Mr. Roosevelt,
when police commissioner, had reward
ed for signal bravery in stopping run
away horse. The President took oc-
casion to refer to this fact.
The scenes and faces around the Long
Island depot across the river were ia
miliar to the President, and he frequent
ly stopped to shake hands with some old
friend.
1t has been ascertained that the Presi-
dents speech at Pittsburg in reference
to the trust question was merely the
forerunner OF determined efforts by him
to have Congress take up that subject
and enact definite legislation at its next
session for the control and supervision
OF trusts.
Recently the President and Attorney
General Knox held a conference with
Representative Little6eld, of Maine, at
which Mr.. Littlefield was invited to pre-
pare a bill for the regulation and con-
troll Of the trusts that will go before
Congress with the Endorsement and in
huence OF the President back Of il.
In addition to this proposed action
the President is going to talk upon the
trust question a good deal on the several
trips to be made by him in the fall. He
has announced to his friends that the
question is vital one and that he pro-
posocs to push it vigorously until there
is some action by Congress.

Cuba Shipping Favored.

The President has issued a proclama.
ton removing discriminating duties up
on Cuban vessels entering United States
ports. Under Spanish rule and also I'M
der the military occupation such duties
were not imposed upon Cuban vessels
for it had been formally declared to the
authorities that Spain imposed no such
duties upon United States vessels But
when Cuba became all independent ma.
ton the law was sef-acting and the du-
ties began to run, until such time as the
President should receive satisfactory as
surance that there was no discrimina-
ton against United States vessels in Gu
ban ports. Now such assurance has
been received through Mr.. Squiers and
the proclamation has been issued.

REVOLUTION m VENEZUELA.

President Castro of Venezuela, left
Caracas Sunday not for Valencia as had
previously been announced bat for La
Guaira, taking with him his private
guard of 500 veteran soldiers and Gen

at midnight on the steamer Ossun his
destination being Guantea or Barcelona,
about $50 miles east of La Guaira. lie
intends to reorganize the Government
forces at and about Barcelona and as
sumo the offensive against the revolu-
tionists at once. Nobody at Caracas
can explain this change in President
Castros plans and the step taken IS
considered to be as perilous as the in
vasion of the Valencia district by the
main army OF the revolutionists. This
force will be opposed by the Govern
ment army Under Gen Seferino Cas-
tilo.
Later in the day news reached here
from Venezuela to the effect that 5000
Government troops undsr Gsn Modesto
Castro, the Presidents brother, were
completely routed July between Bar

OF General Rolando. The Government
forces lost all their ammunition and
equipment and many of the soldiers de
serted to the revolutionistS during the
engagement.
After the battle the revolutionary
army moved on Barcelona and sur
rounded that city, The inhabitants were
panic-striken, and shops were closed

The Navy is Lucky.

1t develops that the naval forces on
the Asiatic Station have been singularly
fortunate or careful during the preva-
lence of the formidable outbreak OF
cholera in the East, So far there have
been only three deaths from that dis
ease reported to Rear Admiral Rixey,
surgeon general of the Navy. Two were
privates of the Marine Corps, and the
other was an officer of the Navy. More.
over, there have not been, it is said,
over half dozen persons attacked by
the disease in our naval establishment
in China and the Philippines. This is
unusual, considering the fact that the
men cannot be cooped up aboard ship,
but must be given shore liberty with its
attendant danger of contracting the dis
ease.
