Erpvery Of Dolphin's Grew In koscuinS
Cubana In Havssa Harbor.
Havana, Cuba.-While Secretary OF
the Navy Moody and his party were on
shore a squat of tremendous violence
swept over the harbor. 1t became as
dark rs night. and the wind and down.
pour were terrific.
Commander Stoney. OF the Dolphin.
realizing the peril to the small boats IN
the harbor during such a squall. called
for volunteer rescuers. The entire
crew of the Dolphin responded. Boats
were instantly manned and sent on.
The launch returned with four hair
drowned Cubans. and the captains gig
with another. who was lifted aboard
apparently lifeless. but was later re-
suscitated.
The courage and prompt action on
the part Of the Americans are espe-
cially commended. Is the British ships
did not rise to the emergency. although
one Of the capsized boats was much
nearer to the Ariadne than to the Dol
phin.
1t Is known that five men. all Gu.
bans. were drowned by the capsizing
of boats during the squall.

LOST IN PACIFIC NPHOON
Hun irsds Drowned and Islands
Practically Swept Away.


San Fancisco. Cal. The stcamci
Mariposa arrived FROM Australia
bringing additional news Of the ty-
phoon and tidal wave at the Tuomatu
group in the Pacific in the middle OF
January.
The French Government has investi.
gated the disaster and found that be-
tweeE 800 and GOO islanders persisted
during the storm. After the wind had
subsidized and the waters had receded
bodies of drowned natives were found
tied TO trees about the place.
Hikuera. q of the islands visited
by the deluge. was the least nble to
withstand Its force. as Its highest place
Ia twelve feet above the sea. The resi-
dents fiocked to the heights and sought
safety bv binding themselves to the
rocks and trees. There they remained
for the three or foul days Of the storm.
The islands Of Hao. MakOkau and
Hikuera are virtually washed away. as
they are ut present little above the sea
level and are destitute Of vegetation.
On them III cannot subsist. rs the
soil has vanished and the cocoanut
trees are all dead.
The French Government OF the Isl.
ands did all In it's power to alleviate
the suffering. Charles Revel. Colonial
Inspector Of the first class. now at Ia
hiti. made a tour Of inspection Of the
Tuomatu group In the Italian man-of-
war Calabria. which rendered all pos
sible assistance toward aiding the suf-
ferers. He found the French warship
Zeiee. which had been giving aid to the
sufferers.
Commander Richard. of the Zelee.
made a tout Of the islands. He de.
scribes the devastation as complete
in the island Of Rarioa. Three-fourths
Of the cocoanut trees have been de-
stroyed. houses have been cast down.
the wall Of the Catholic church and the
prison were swept away. and twelve OF
the Inhabitants were killed.
Many Of the natives were swept into
the lagoon. and again into the Great
Sea. and lacerated terribly by the con-
tact with coral rocks and debris Of all
sorts. Upon some unfortunate ones CO.
coanut trees fell. manning or killing
them outright. or holding them beneath
the water. where they were drowned.
The depth Of the water In most parts
Of the island Of Hikuera was from
fifteen to twenty feet. but the meeting
of the waves from the outside and
those forced across the lagoon fire.
quently made the food much greater
in places. The gale found the natives
weakened from a virulent form OF
measles that had become epidemic.
Messrs. Sheffield and Allen. Elders OF
the Mormon Church. and Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert. of the Latter Day Saints Mis-
sion. in a report to the United States
Consul at Papeete give details Of the
disaster. Mr.. Gilbert lost one shelter
when n cocoanut tree fell. but secured
another In a high stump Of n booran
tree. There they passed the night.
