Adiutant General Corbin has received the
following dispatch from Acting Adjutant
General Wright of the Department of the
Missouri, at Omaha, Neb.:
1.-The mayor of Kansas City, Kan, reports
900 homeless flood sufferers. He asks
that the commanding officer, Fort Leaven-
worth. be directed to send him 200 tents.
Request instructions.
Replying to this appeal General Corbin
has wired the commanding officer of the
Department of Missouri, at Omaha, as fol-
lows:
..Replying to your telegram of yesterday,
the Secretary of War authorizes that you
extend such assistance to the mayor of
Kansas City. Kan, as may be necessary.

The War Department Is exerting its full

Sanger has assumed full Responsibility for
the extension of relief where that is nee

So the military officers In the distressed
region will not only provide tents to shelter

department has come to the rescue and
General Gillespie, chief Of engineers, has
authorized the use OF all OF the

ALEXANDRIA. Va. June 1. 1905.
According to annual custom the three
local councils of the Junior Order United
American Mechanics held special exercises
yesterday In remembrance of their dead
members In the morning the members of
James w. jackson Council visited the Gem
eteries close to the city and placed flowers
on the graves of their departed brethren.
The same mark of remembrance was
shown in the afternoon by the members of
Alexandra and Belle Haven Councils.
Appropriate exercises had been planned
to be held in the Methodist Protestant
cemetery by the last two councils. but the
inclement weather rendered a change in
the program necessary. Accordingly the
Mechanics assembled In Serapta Hall on
King street at o'clock. when addresses
were made by Rev ]. p. Stump of the
M Z. Church South, Rev. DIR. Frank ].
Brooke OF the Second Presbyterian Church
and Rev. ]. A. Jeffers of Trinity NJ. K.
Church. At o'clock in the evening the
members OF James w. Jackson Council as
sembled In the Methodist Protestant Church
and listened to a sermon addressed particu-
larry to them by Rev. j. II. s. Ewell the
pastor.

they were brought to a place Of safety, but
probably will not survive.
B. L. Wiese former city engineer, was
dragged from the hay loft of barn. He
was unconscious and numb from cold, but
soon revived. Hi story of the beginning OF
the flood Is dramatic
BY aid of the small steam and gasoline
launches forty men in South Garfield Park
were rescued. They had perched them
selves in trees.
Nothing to Eat for Thirty-Six Hours.
They had had nothing to eat for thirty
six hours. These men were kept in a
fenced grove where they could not keep a
close watch on the situation. All they
could see was the angry water rushing
about the trunks of the trees. One of the
men said they could not hear the others
speak above the roar of the water. Uncer-
tainty was thus added to their other misery,
and not one of them had any hopes of
escaping.
Patrick Beline. his wife and three small
children were taken from the attic % their
small dwelling. The parents were Obliged
to hold the two younger children constantly
to keep their heads above water. They
were nearly starved and probably cannot
recover.
Flood at Kansas City.
With the waters of the Kaw and Mis-
souri, rivers nearly four feet above the dis
astrous level of 1884, and their swollen tide
spread over twelve square miles Of the city
and it's suburbs. Kansas City last night
was in the worst flood of it's history.
In the valley of the Kaw. or Kansas,
river between Kansas City. Mo-. and Kan
!, sas City, Kans.. report had it that a
number of lives had been lost. One report
said fourteen and another fifty, but in the
midst of decentralization of traffic and the
ordinary means of communication it was
impossible to verify these reports.
Twelve Bodies Floated By.
Twelve bodies were counted as they float
ed past during the day In nearly every in
stance they were lying across pieces OF
wreckage. On the roof of a cabin that
came swirling down could be seen the body
of q woman and her child.
The heaviest loss was at Armourdale,
where the losses to the packing industry
and others were placed conservatively at
s. 100000. Argentine. another suburb, suf-
fered losses estimated at 100000.
ArmOurdale, with a population of 5000
people, was deserted last night. and its site
marked only by the tops of buildings and
a number of fires.

Manhattan is in the very center of the

north and the Kansas river from the west,
which carries the waters from the Republic
can, Solomon, Saline and Smoky rivers,
besides several large creeks, meet at the
eastern edge of the city.
For the past five days great volumes of
water have rushed together here, form
ing moving vortex which only the strong
est iron bridges have SO far been able to
withstand.
The high railroad banks of the Union
Pacific and Rock Island alone have saved
the city from being completely submerged
and possibly entirely swept away.
Most Of the inhabitants have moved to
the hills and are being taken care OF In
the Kansas Agricultural College building.
Rained Since Thursday.
The rain has descended here almost
steadily since Thursday. To add to the
calamity all telegraph and telephone wires
are down and the city Is in darkness, the
electric plant being flooded
At noon Friday the water subsidized slight
ly, but rose in the evening at the rate OF
one inch every five minutes. Men, women
and children were carried in boats and
wagons to the hills.
Those who were unable to secure trans
portation waded through the water waist
deep.
Over 800 people were housed in the col
lege building. Four births were reported to

Many Thrilling Rescues From Fire
and Water at Topeka.

with ITO or 200 lives lost millions OF dol
lars of property destroyed; with hundreds
of pistol shots as signals of distress, blend
ed with the agonizing cries OF unwliing IN
ba h,tants of tree tops and roofs OF houses
and the waters creeping upward ana then
slowly subsiding, and alternately Changing
hope to despair, Topeka, Kan. yesterday
passed the most memorable Sabpath Gay Vi
its existence. Through all this discomfort
ing condition of affairs was ADDED the
presence of a cold, dismal rain.
The disaster that befell North Topeka, tne
manufac turing part of the Kansas capital,
was one of the most appalling in the MIS-
tory Of the country. Fire and water uhlteo
their forces in cleaning horrible harvest
of death.
Worked Knee-Deep in Water.
The arduous work of the heroic rescuers
was not abated in the least by the condi-
tons which confronted them. For long,
dreary hours, knee deep in water and some
times in water up to their necks. they work.
ed with might and main. Last night they
could point to 800 or more rescued persons,
who otherwise might nave peeh sweep away
in the current.
For several days the Kansas river had
been swollen by the heavy rains. The water
finally became SO high as to entirely sur
round North Topeka, cutting 1t on from the
main part Of the city. Then came hres to
add to the horror People gathered on top
of houses and met death either by fire or
drowning. Cries for help could be distinctly
heard a mile away.
Three large -four mills, three wooden mills
and other manufacturing enterprises were
entirely destroyed.
The water supply OF the city was cut off.
The work of rescuing the victims was push
ed all day with vtgor.
Many Thrilling Rescues.
There were many thrilling escapes. Efgh-
teen persons were rescued from house at
1908 Monroe street. w. N. Keppard and
wife, an aged couple, were so numb they
could not feel. They were standing close
together in the attic of their house, and SO
severe had been their experience that their
minds gave way under the strain.
A Mrs. Anderson and her year-old baby
had been for three days in a tree in plain
sight of people, who were powerless to res
cue them. The mother clasped her child
close in her arms and managed to brace
herself against tree in a reasonably Sc
cure position. For three days she kept up
the battle for life. When her rescue was
near she lost consciousness. Both mother
and child fell into twelve feet of water and
were drowned. being Immediately drawn
under by the current.
Newspaper Mans Experience.
Harvey Parsons. local newspaper man.
had thrilling experience. He took q boat
and made his way to house in the hope
of making some rescue. A woman and
her baby. names unknown were in the
house. and Parsons took them into his boat.
They had proceeded only short distance
when the boat capsized. Parsons contriv-
ed to get himself and the others up into a
tree, and there they remained until 8
O'Clock the next afternoon. When rescued
