the highway bordering the lake on the mountain
side. Soon these dams gave way, and the large
volume of water swept down the valleys, carry
Ing everything before il. Houses, barns and
other outbuildings, together with their contents,
including live stock, were swept into the lake,
and hundreds of acres of valuable vineyards
growing crops and gardens were swept away
In many cases the vineyards cannot be restored
for years TO come. II IS reported that there are
to-day no bridges between Vine Valley ana
Naples In the middle valley, and the same condi-
tion exists the other side Of the lake. Rural
mail routes abandoned telephone lines are
down and the storm has paTalyzed business IN
the entire region. The tons Of earth that nave
been washed down from the hills have in many
cases formed little peninsulas in the lake, some
large enough TO erect cottages upon, ana IN
other cases points of land have been washed
away. This has materially changed the contour
OF the shores, and this condition has became
menace TO the steamers plying the lake. Ihe
damage will not be known for several days.

AsIATIC FLEET TO BE REDUCED.

Washington, July THE Navy Department
contemplates making a material reduction or
the naval force on the Asiatic Station in the
near future. While American interests in the
East are most important. Il is thought here that
the large number OF American wasships gatn-
cred in Chinese and Philippine waters is con-
siderably above the proper ratio. The plans. 1t
is said, contemplate ordering az least one of the
flag commanders on the Asiatic Station TO other
duty. Rear Admiral Rodgers. at present the
commander in chief of the station, has been in
Asiatic waters about year and a half while
Rear Admirals Evans and Wilde, senior ana
Junior squadron commanders, have been on the
station only about six months, The ships
brought 10 the United States probably will in
clude only few, if any, OF the largest vessels
now stationed there. A considerable number OF
smaller cruisers and gunb0ats will be ordered
20 this country.

received from Police Commissioner Partridge direct
a warm and unmistaIable command TO wake up
and that better police work is done in that
borough. and az the same time the COMMISSIONS

that they are responsible when burglars take ad-
vantage of lax work the part of patrolmen and
start in a carnival OF crime such as found It's
climax In the Lattmer shooting in Brooklyn last
week.
The letter told McLaushlin that there was en-
tirely too much burglary and too frequent rob
berries In his borough. This. he told him. be-
cause patrolnen did not stay on their posts. and
because roundSrneu sergsaRtS and captains did not
see that the patFolmen performed their duties, and
the reason the calAalns were asleep that the
inspectors did not wake them up.
