.OREGONIAN
IN BIG STORM

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-The
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
panys big freighter Oregonian, CAPTAIN
Carly, which arrived here yesterday
from New York, encountered terrific
weather off Coronel and brings word of
the awful havoc by the storm on all
kinds of property at the South Ameri-
can port.
The Oregonian reached Coronel July
- and left there July 10. Two days be-
fore her arrival and for FIVE days after
resuming her voyage the storm ragged
with fearful fury and any vessel Of
smaller dimension and less solid con-
struction than the Oregonian would
have been in grave danger.
At Coronel buildings We're blown
down, railroad tracks washed away
and all Geographic or other commune
cation destroyed. AS far as Captain
Carly could learn there was no serious
damage to shipping This same storm
swept over Valparaiso with disastrous
results to life and property.
The Oregonian's voyage otherwise
was uneventful.

LOSS OF 1000.

\ NEwcHwANG, June O.-A Russian
romcer who was wounded in the battle
at Vafangow' tTelissuD told an Assocl-
sated Press correspondent that the
losses on both sides were severe. He
placed the Russian casualties as at
least 1000. He says no soldiers In the
world could Withstand the Japanese
gas they have been fighting lately. Their
artillery fire. he claims. is marvellously
effective.
! The Russians fought stubbornly. but
they were unable to withstand the en-
emy's dashinG persistency.
Several hundred wounded Russians
have been sent north, owing TO lack
OF hospitals and surgeons. All the avail
able transportation has to be used for
supplies at the expense of the sick and
wounded. The Japanese buried most OF
