On leaving Oyster Bay the skies were very
threatening and the Sylph ran into a ter
rifle storm. The rain came down in tor
rents. and the wind blew into a gale. Off
Willet's Point the vessel was in serious
danger.
On passing through He'll Gate the gale
increased In force and about a quarter Of a
mile from the Sylph a tug towing a three
masted schooner went down. 1t could not
be ascertaned whether all of the crew was
| saved owing to the intensity of the storm
which forced all the passengers on the
Sylph below deck.
Continued to Destination.
On passing up East river the Sylph was
hailed by the naval tug Powhatan, Lieut.
Commander tombstone, who told Lieut.
Preston that it would be impossible and
foolhardy to attempt to follow out the
Presidents plan of continuing to Ellis ISL

ers the President decided to go to Ellis
Island, and he started for there shortly af-
ter 2 o'clock. At that hour the storm had
abated considerably.

2:25 At that time 1t was so rough that a

DUTY WILL BE LEVIED.
Supplies for PHILIPPINE Government
Not to Be Admitted Free.

The War Department today received a
dispatch from Manila stating that the
Philippine commission had decided to as
sess a duty on tnsular supplies imported
from the United States. The act Of March
8, 1903. confirming the Philippine govern
ment bill made effective a provision for
the free entry of supplies into the islands
for the United States army and the insular
government. The Philippine commission.
however. holds that 1t Is justified in levying
a tax In fairness to local merchants on all
supplies intended for the insular govern
ment. Its object is to encourage local
merchants to keep In stock goods required
by the Philippine government. even though
they will cost more In consequence Of the
dealer having paid the duty.
The insular bureau of the War Depart
ment maintains In New York an office
which buys ALI supplies ordered by the
Philippine commission. In consequence of
this decision, and to make 1t effective,
Colonel Edwards has directed that all In
voices from this ONCE be made in quadru-
plicate. a copy to be mailed to Manila so
as to reach there before the arrival OF the
goods in order that the collector of customs
may readily clear them.
