TIDAL WAVE DISASTER
In South Sea Islands Natives Drowned
Survivors Destitute.

News has Just reached San Francis
co by steamer from Tahiti, of terrible
disaster by hurricane and tidal wave,
that visited the South Sea Islands Jan.
ID, raging several days and resulting
in the drowning of at least 1000 per-
sons. The storm devastated the So
cietv Islands and the Tuamotu group
in a manner never before equaled In
this region of storms. Four hundred
survivors were rescued by the steamer
Excelsior and taken to Papeetah. Eight
hundred were drowned on the three Is
lands of Hao, Hikuera and Makokaa,
whose ordinary population is $500. On
Hikuera Island, where 1000 inhabitants
were engaged in pearl diving, nearly
one half were drowned. On an ADA
cent island 100 more were washed out
TO sea. Makokaa and Hao are depopu-
lated. Conservative estimates at Ia
hiti place the number of islands Wis
tied by the tidal wave and hurricane
at so. All of them are under the cou-
troll of the French governor at Tahiti.
The surviving inhabitants are left des.
titute of food, shelter and clothing, all
having been swept away by the storm.
The French government promptly sent
two warships with provisions the is
land supply of fresh water and food
having been totally exhausted by the
storm Eight white people were among
the drowned. As the islands were bare
" % feet above sea level and were not
surrounded by coral reefs, it was nee
essary for all the inhabitants to take
to the cocoanut trees when the tidal
wave began to cover the land. These
trees grew to an immense height, many
reaching an altitude of 100 feet. All
of the lower trees we're covered by the
raging seas which swept with pitiless
force about and over them. Thousands
of tons of copra and more than 200 tons
of mother of pearl shells are known to
have been lost. The pearl shells are
valued at $500 ton.

CURES CHRONIC CATARRH.
Hyomei Cures Worst Forms Of This
disease in any Part Of the System.

1t is the height of folly to continue
doctoring a catarrhal disease by stom-
ach drugging, when the whole trouble
lies in the respiratory organs where
nothing can reach the germs but To-
cal direct treatment by inhalation. by
omei is natures remedy for the cure of
catarrh. Just breathe it few times
daily and it will effect cure.
You may have catarrh of the stomach,
liver or kidneys and Hyomei will as
surely cure it as it will catarrh of the
head and throat. The catarrhal germs
are in the mucus membrane or tissues
and Hvomei not only kills the germs "a
long the air passages, but enters the
blood with the oxygen. killing the
germs in the blood.
The medicated dry air that goes
through the air passages and into the
lungs when Hyomei is breathed
through the inhaler that accompanies
every outfit. is rich in ozone, purely
vegetable and filled with marvellous
healing and strength giving qualities.
If YOU are tired of stomach drugging
and seem to grow weaker all the time,
throw physic to the dogs and get

treatment that is natures own method.
Rev. ]. B. Cook of Holliston, Mass,
saws: "My wife has suffered greatly
from catarrh for fifteen years. Nearly
four weeks ago she commenced to use
Hy-o-mei and the beneficial effect was
immediate. 1t is very seldom that she
needs to clear her head and throat and
she is able to rest quietly at night. For
wears past she had been troubled with
mains in her limbs which we supposed
was rheumatism but since she has used

are familiar with its origin, who know
the theory upon which it cures disease,
by its great and peculiar action upon the
blood, take it in preference to anything
else. Ex-senator Hanson, of Massachu-
sets, whose home is in Lowell, Mass,
has this to say of " Blood Vino:

cine. The effect that IL has on deb!hiated fys-

Senator Hanson is man who wouldn't
have anything but the best. He is q
man of great executive ability, and very
active brain. He uses "Blood Wine"
right along to keep his brain clear and
active, and his body free from ache or
pain. Thousands Of people do the same.

you are in bad health and you take

feel better as the sun is sure to rise and

blood. Blood is life, and ''Blood Wine"
eradicates all the elements of disease
from the blood that rob US of life.

President Roosevelt Will Not Arbitrate,

President Roosevelt has declined the
invitation of the allied powers to arol-
trate the question as to whether they
shall receive preferential treatment In
the settlement of their claims against
Venezuela over the other creditor ma
tions. The matter will now therefore
be referred to The Hague tribunal.
This will result in the immediate rails
ing of the blockade. The administra-
ton. it is stated in official quarters,
was unwilling to approve the effort OF
the British government to eliminate
Minister Bowen from the negotiations
and moreover the president could not
have accepted the invitation of the al
lies even had he been so disposed with
out the consent of the other negotia|
tor. Minister Bowen, and this the al
lies did not obtain or request IN their
note of invitation. The preparation
OF protocols for the raising of the
the blockade was begun at Washington
Immediately and the British draft was
acceptable in principle to Mr.. Bowen,
but the German protocol he refused to
sign as unacceptable to the Venezuelan
government. This will greatly delay
negotiations. The German demand was
practically for preferential treatment
in advance of submission of the case to
The Hague. 1t is suspected in Wash
ington that the allies are deliberately
raising first one demand and then an
other to delay settlement TO the limit
of American patience, and to try to
starye Venezuela into giving better
terms than Mr.. Bowen is willing 10
concede. Baron Sternberg, the Ger
man minister, communicated to Mr.
Bowen Wednesday night new demand
by Germany of a cash payment of $40,
600 or a lien on the customs receipts OF
one of the Venezuelan ports until this
amount is paid. Mr.. Bowen refused
to yield the receipts of any port prior
to The Hague's decision, saying that
would be preferential treatment. As
to the cash payment of $4,000 de-
handed, Mr.. Bowen said to the min
lister that if Germany can afford to
make public confession that it does
not stand by agreements signed by Its
duly accredited diplomats, he Mr..
Bowen is willing that they shall re,
ceive on the day the protocol is signed
the total amount asked for in the orig
inal ultimatum. Great Britain and
Italy have renowned any responsibility
for the action of Germany.
