CAPE TOWNS BAD STORM
VESSELS DRIVEN ASHORE AND MANY
LIVES LOST.
Several Boats Foundered and Others
Set on the Beach-Fifty Bodies
Washed I'm to Land.

CAPE TOWN, Sept 1.-Eighteen vessels.
mostly sailing craft. have been driven
ashore in a gale at Port Elizabeth. Four
of them were dashed to pieces and all the
members with their crews were lost. Two
tugs are also reported to have foundered
and a score of lighters are ashore. 1t is
feared that there has been great loss of
life.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg. the premier, said
in the House of Assembly to-day that he
feared the loss of life from the gale would
be enormous. The storm broke shortly be-
fore midnight last night and was accom-
panied by deluge of rain and brilliant
lightning. The night was very dark. Sew
eral tugs went out to the assistance Of the
endangered vessels, but nothing was visible
from the shore at Port Elizabeth except the
continual flashes of rockets as signals of
distress.
Daylight revealed the beach at the north
end of Algoa bay strewn with vessels lying
high and dry, while others were in the surf
and being swept by the huge breakers.
With the exception of four vessels. which
foundered with all hands, every sailing YES
sci in the roadstead was ashore by mid
storm all night, steamed out to sea at day
break. Fifty bodies have already been
washed ashore.
The British steamer Scot, belonging to the
left Port Elizabeth on Saturday for Cape
Town. She was due here early to-day, but
has not yet been sighted. Great anxiety is
felt regarding her fate. The steamer Briton,
Company was blown ashore and narrowly
ESCAPED destruction.

HOLD.UP in TENNESSEE
EXPRESS CAR ON A LOUISVILLE &
NASHVILLE TRAIN ROBBED.
Messenger Surprised and Forced to
Hold Up Hands While Two Men
Stole Valuable Packages.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Sept. 1.-Early to-
night between this city and Franklin.
Tenn. eighteen miles south Of here, the
local safe on the express car of Louisville
& Nashville through train, No. 2, north
bound. was rified of its contents by two
masked men while Messenger A B. Battle,
covered by revolver. stood in the corner
of the car with his hands above his head.
The robbery occurred just after dark, and,
according to his own announcement, one Of
the principals was Gus Hyatt, who made
a sensational escape from the Tennessee
penitentiary here on Aug. last. Express
officials estimate the loss at about $500, it
being in packages taken in since leaving
Montgomery, Ala. The two big through
safes were not molested.
The men forced the messenger to ring
the train down just before 1t was enter
ing South Nashville yards and quietly took
their departure. The police are at work on
the case. The story OF the robbery, as told
by Messenger Battle, Is substantially as
follows: I'VE pulled out of Franklin at 6:45,
forty minutes late, and 1 began to check up
my business for report at Nashville. /
had my safe open when heard some one
behind me. Turning, 1 looked into the
barrel of a big revolver. held by man with
red handkerchief tied over his face. Get
up and hold up your hands, he said, or /
will put hole in your head
Right behind him was another man
wearing a black handkerchief over his
face and also having me covered with his
pistol. / got up and he ordered me to
stand In the corner of the car, with my

around. Both men had sacks attached to
their belts and L could hear them putting
the packages away. The man who did all
the talking said once: Hurry up, George,
we are getting close to Nashville Finally
he ordered me to pull the bell cord, but not
TO look around. l obeyed but the signal
was not answered, and, with an oath, he
ordered me to pull 1t again. This time the
train slowed down, but 1 don't know ex-
actly when the men got off, as / did not

came to see what the trouble was, and

VICTORY FOR THE ARMY.
Admiral HigginsOn Said to Have Been
FOiled in Night Attack.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. 2.-Fort
Trumbull, headquarters army Of defense
At just 1920 last night the big guns Of
Forts Wright, Terry and Niche belched
forth almost simultaneously and there was
no longer doubt that the first attack in the
war game was in effect. For an hour the
cannonading continued and the result from
the army standpoint is best stated in this
official bulletin posted at headquarters at
1920: Movement to pass through the race
began at 1920 p. m. Forts Niche, Wright
and Terry engaged fifty minutes. Apparent
ly the ships entering having been put out
of action by points scored by the army
guns" The result, however, will be de-
termined later by the board of arbitration
All was quiet at army headquarters. when
suddenly the reports of the big guns were
heard and General Macarthur listened at
tentively. The attack was on. but it came
sooner than was expected by the major
general commanding.
When the booming of the big guns sig
nailed the beginning Of the attack for the
moment all communication with the forts
by telegraph and telephone was cut off, the
artillerymen being engaged with the enemy
and all the wires at the forts being utilized
in the firing of the guns. General Mac
Arthur boarded his yacht Kanawha and
proceeded to Fort Wright. Far out in the
race the ships commanded by Admiral Hig-
ginson were sighted and just as soon as
they came within firing distance the fort
guns opened on them. There was quick re-
sponse from the enemy. 1t seemed that the
fleet of the enemy had been divided. the
squadron under command of Admiral
Coghlan not being seen during the first at
tack.
Admiral Higginson came from the east to
the race and there the fight commenced
with all the realism as far an possible OF
actual war. The ships lights were out and
evidently the admiral hoped he could get
nearer the forts. within the safety line be-
fore he was discovered. but in this he was
foiled so the army officers maintain. and
his ships. including the Massachusetts, and
] the Indiana. were put out Of action. the

DEMONSTRATIONS AT NIGHT
ADMIRAL HIGGINSON'S FLEET CIV
ING SOLDIERS LITTLE REST.
Using Big Guns on the Forts-Army
"BIows Up" the Mayhower-
Scare at Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept 1.-Admiral Hig-
ginson did not delay long after the declara-
ton of hostilities to-day to cut out work
for the jackies and marines OF his fleet,
accomplishing in daylight, but under cover
of fog, two things that General MacAr-
thurs army had not anticipated. These
were the seizure of Martha's Vineyard and
Block island and the capture Of the armys
signal station at each place. Tonight he
followed up his good work by demonstra-
ton in force against the extreme western
end of the line of defending fortihcations.
but 1t cannot be determined until later II
he actually attempted to force his way into
Long Island sound or simply aimed to give
his crews a little big gun practice and his
captains the opportunity to maneuver with
in striking distance to determine the loca-
tion and caliber of the ordnance in the
forts.
The navy's night attack was not expected
at the western end of the line quite so
early in the game. The theory was held all
day, after it was known that Higginson had
secured base on the outlying islands, that
he would send his cruisers for recon-
noissance against both ends of the line and
then swing his fleet into the center or
around Newport for a sharp yet heavy at
tack there. maneuvering quickly, and then.
when things became most interesting, sail
to the westward and make his grand effort
to force his way into Long Island sound.
This would have been his night attack, for
1t seems almost certain that the day at
tack will be against Fort Rodman, the east
ern point.
Once tonight Newport got scare when
a message came from Port Judith that
marines were being landed there in the fog.
All communication with that point was cut
off. Then at 1890, came an official bulletin
announcing the bombardments of Forts
Niche and Wright, but when Point Judith
signal station was again in touch with the
central intelligence bureau it was explained
that the signal men there were being given
drill in saving equipment on the SUPPOSE
tion that the enemy was making a landing.
They cut out the telegraph and telephone
wires, picked up their equipment and made
a record-breaking retreat, then, returning,
re-esta blished the station, doing a credit
able piece Of work. Outside Of this Incl
dent the routine of war duty along the
Narragansett bay was simply a good meas
ure of hard work all day and some very
lively searchlight work tonight.

TOM |. JOnNSON'S CIRCUS
1T WILL SHOW In EVERY COUNTY IN
OHIO THIS FALL.
Cleveland's Mayor and Valet Arrive
at Sandusky and the Boss Out
lines His Plans.

SANDUSKY, o., Sept. 1.-Many Demo-
Gratis are here to attend the State conven-
ton. The feature Of to-day was the arrival
of Mayor johnson in his automobile at 4:2o
p. m. from Cleveland, accompanied by his
son and valet. He was preceded by many
of his friends from Cleveland, who joined
in the ovation rendered him at the West
House. from which his banners were dis
played. He held informal receptions during
the afternoon and evening, and discussed
the situation openly with the train of call
ers. He declared himself freely against the
new municipal code proposed by Governor
NASH to the extra session of the Legisla-
ture and favored the federal plan for all
Ohio cities. He also denounced In his con-
versations the proposition for perpetual
franchises. While admitting that he had
outlined State platform he did not care
to discuss 1t in advance of its consideration
by the committee resolutions. But he
admitted that he wanted the same planks
on taxation that he had inserted in the
declaration of principles last year. Regard
ing national affairs he spoke highly of Colo
mel Bryan and the platforms on which he
made his campaigns.
Mayor Johnson said tonight that he will
start out Immediately after the convention
with his tent on a tour of the lightweight
counties of the State. His tent has seat
ing capacity of $500 Last year he trans
ferred 1t to different locations in Cleveland
and vicinity, and he has now arranged for
afternoon and evening stands throughout
the State during the next two months.
While he has the same organization for
transportation purposes as circus he will
also have similar hours, except in the larg-
ov nj nh he NM N ,af hn
held at precisely the same location in the
evening as in the afternoon.
The prospective head of the ticket the
Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow, will also make a
canvass of the State. He is the pastor of
the Vine-street Congrega tional Church in
Cincinnati, which has become Independent
of creeds under his pastorate The Rev.
Bigelow has been an evangelist in lecturing
and organizing clubs in support of Mayor
Johnson's views on taxation and other
questions. Mr.. Bigelow was prevented
from attending the conference of the John
son men tonight by sickness of his WIFE,
but his enthusiastic admirers say he will ac-
cept and make a brilliant canvass of the
State.

AT ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
Advices Received by General MacAr-
thur from Subordinates.

NEW LONDON, Conn. Sept. 1.-Fort
Trumbull. Headquarters of Defense.-Dis-
patches announcing the capture of Block
island and the signal station at this
port and at Woods Holl were received
by Major General Macarthur this morn
ing. Some of these dispatches were
given out TO newspaper men, the first an
nouncing that the scout of the enemy had
been sighted off Point Judith at 1:So a. m.
and that they had stopped off this port.
The scout was thought to be either the
Gloucester or the Hist. Following this was
a dispatch saying that the Kearsarge, Mas
sachusetts, Scorpion, Mana and Panther
had been sighted five miles south of Point
Judith and that they exchanged signals
with the light ship, and then headed out
Then came the following dispatch: THE
Brooklyn and Indiana captured Block
island and a collier entered the harbor at
6:15 a. m. The fleet will undoubtedly es-
tablish base at Block island. The Brook
lyn landed marines on Block island, pre-
sumably to capture signal station there.
Woods Holl signal station destroyed by
Olympia at 800 a. m. Beacon hill wires
the Block island captured at a. m. by
a landing party. All signal men escaped,
except two
The wireless telegraph at 2:45 reported
as follows: THE fleet has been joined by
a large white vessel, not clear; believed to
be the Kearsarge. Movement of fleet near
ing Fishers island, patrolling five miles
out"
This dispatch was regarded as indicating
that the enemy may go direct to Fisher S
island or to Narragansett bay.
Regarding the capture of Block island
by the navy this morning 1t is said officially
here that Block island is not within the
district Of defense, and that there was no
necessity Of bombarding it, though the
signal station could be captured and the
island seized for base Of supplies Fort
Terry reports nothing of note within the
past twenty-four hours.
General Macarthur informed an Assoca-
ted Press representative this evening of his
extreme satisfaction with the working of
the wireless telegraph. Most of the mes
sages received were by that system. and
was Of decided interest to the general in
command, this being the first time the sys-
tenn had been used in the maneuvers.
Among the first dispatches received to-
day was the one reporting the lombard
ment and capture of Block island. This
was somewhat in the nature of surprise,
