WILL BE USEE IN CUBA.
Supplies of . Kind Similar to Those
 Used in Philippines.

Washington, Sept 27.-Suhsistence supplies of kind similar to those used by the army in the Philippines and in Porto Rico will be used by the army in Cuba, in the event of in- tervention by the United States.
 Some military observers marseled at the wonderful amount of work &C., complished by the Japanese soldiers on diet of rice and dried fish. It was suggested that American soldiers when serving in tropical countries ought to be given large amoung os rec in their rations. This question was considered by the army authori- ties and decided adversely to the rice diet. Americans, 1t was shown, are great meat eaters, and the American soldiers would revolt at rice diet. because rice contains only small percentage of proteids. In order to obtain their accustomed amount Of proteids, the soldiers would have to develop a rice stomach" which. 1t is feared by the army officials, would destroy their stomach for fighting.
 A trong, sustaining American ra- tion will be given the soldiers if they go to Cuba-just as good a ration as now is served to them at their sta- tions in this country.

LOOKS BAD IN RUSSIA.
Disquleting Information Regarding the AgraTian Situation Causes
 Much Anxiety.
AND POLICE ARE ASSIGNING

St Petersburg, Sept 27.-Further
 information regarding the Agrarian situation, which, in spite of the prompt and widespread publication of the administrations Agrarian con- sessions, appears to be entering on a grayer phase than last autumn, comes from the provinces of Saratov and Tambov and the lower Volga region, where serious disorders are ant1ci- pated when the recruiting season opens in October. The Viborg mani festo has been widely circulated and the revolutionary ferment is ever in- creasing. The residents of many communes have adopted formal resO- lutions discarding the authority of the police and clergy, the rural police are resigning in great numbers, land owners are disposing of their estates at any sacrifice and land values have dropped from $S0 to S16 per acre.
 Details of the uprising at Nal muish, Vlatka provinces, are difficult to obtain on account of the distance of the affected area from Viatki, the provincial capital; but at the oppo- site extremity of thep rovinee, the peasantry of the village of Knago- rosdk have disarmed the police and proclaimed autonomy. In Kutals province, in the Caucucas, the home of the turbulent Imeretians, Mingre- Hans and Georgians. Punitive detach- ments are energetically searching for Mramisehwili, exmember of the outlawed parliament, who is the leader of the agitation.

YALE COLLEGE OPENS.
The Two Hundred and Sixth Year of
 We'll Known Institution.

New Haven, Sept 27.-The aca- demic year at Yale university began with chapel" this morning and with the usual activity around the cam puses as students rushed hither and thither to complete registration in the courses. The indications are that the academic freshman class will be almost as large as that of last year. while in the Sheffield Scientific school the number may break all previous records. carrying the total above that of two years ago. which reached high water mark. It will take a number of days to complete registration espc- cially as the number of men who are working on conditions imposed by the June examinations is exceptional ly large. it being claimed that the tests applied in June were quite se- we're. In the Law school also the en- trance requirements may result in a slightly decreased attendance. At chapel President Hadley addressed the undergraduates in words of kind ly welcome, and with this service the college began on its 206th year.

MISSING GIRL
 MAY BE INSANE Bristol Milliner Who Went to Wood- mont Writes to Newspapers
 That She Is Drowned. FATHERS SEARCH FUTILE
Friends Are Still Searching Along the Shore For Some Tidings
 of the Young Woman.

Bristol, Sept o7.-Miss Emma c.
 Bradshaw, mllllner of this place is strangely missing from home and
 her parents believe that she is wand- ering in the open country round about Woodmont. She left home on Mon day morning to visit friends in Wood- mont. The first intimation received by her father, Edward I. Bradshaw, was on Tuesday when a letter to his wife gave evidence that the young
 woman was suffering from mental distress. The text of the letter is withheld but MT Bradshaw went to
 Woodmont only to find that the hotel at which his daughter was supposed to be staying was closed That after noon newspaper in Hartford print ed a letter received from Woodmont purporting to be news item of the drowning of Emma c. Bradshaw off WOOdmOnt, and finding of purse on the shoe containing the visiting cards of the young woman. The paper in trying to get verification of the story could find no official informa- tion.. A Hartford morning paper al- so received similar news item by mail. Mr Bradshaw returned from Woodmcnt and obtained these news paper letters and comparison with the writing in the letter sent to Mrs Bradshaw showed that they were all written by Miss Bradshaw The case then perplexed the family as they knew of no reason for the young wo- man to have taken her life. As the letters to the newspapers stated that Miss Bradshaw fell overheard from n boat while reaching for an oar which had dropped from her grasp. the theory of drowning was dispelled. Mir Bradshaw immediately went to New Haven and found that his daughter had been there and had vis- ited several stores. Then she had taken car to Woodmont. and on Monday afternoon had been sitting on Anchor Rock. Just before dark she walked towards the westward. Mir Bradshaw was unable to trace her movements after that although he continued his search to Bridgeport. The, family do not believe that she has been drowned, but hold to the opinion tl.at she is mentally i'll and Is either wandering about or is staying at some house in Woodmont or Mill ford. A number of friends have gOpa there to make further inquiries.

SOUTH IN THE
 THR0ES 0f STORM Many States are Being Buffeted by Tropical Disturbances Which are
 Unusually Severe. HAS NOT REACHED ZENITH Wires Down In Many Places and It is Impossible to Tell What
 Damage Is Done.

Louisville, Ky, Sept 27.-The Gulf storm which began to show its force last night, has destroyed all commu- nication to Mobile and New Orleans. The storm appears general between Montgomery, Ala, and the gulf of Mexico and westward to the Missis- sippi river.
 There has been no communication with New Orleans since midnight, the last word from there being to the effect that one suburb had been damaged somewhat by the wind and by sudden rise of four feet in Lake Ponchartrain.
 Water is reported four feet deep in the streets of Moss Point, Miss, the high wind blowing the water in from the gulf. At 2:40 this morning communication was restored for a moment with Mobile, which reported gale blowing with rain falling in torrents and the barometer falling rapidly.
 Washington, Sept 27.-The wealth CT bureau to-day reported that the tropical disturbance has reached the Mississippi and southeastern Louisi- ana coasts where it is central this morning as storm of great severity. Reports from Mobile and Pensacola are missing by reason of the gen. eral prOstration of telegraph wires in the storm-swept territory. High winds apd rain prevail over Alabama, Mississippi and Southern Louisiana, maximum velocity of AS miles an hour from the northwest being re- ported this morning from New Or- leans. The tropical disturbance will probably move northward during the next "A hours and cause general rains east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio attended by high winds in the lower Missisissippi val ley. The east gulf states and prob- ably Tennessee.
 Storm warnings are displayed on the Atlantic coast, from Norfolk to JdChSOilNllic anu Ou tHt sufl tudSt from New Orleans to the northern portion of the western Florida coast.
 New York. Sept 27.-Reports of severe storms in Louisiana, Missis- sippi and Georgia were received here to-day. One telegram reads that there is four feet of water in the streets of New Orleans. Heavy rain falls are reported at vicksburg, Miss, and Macon, Ga. Telegraph service to New Orleans is badly crippled.
 Montgomery. Ala. Sept 27.-Spec- ials to the Advertiser from Mobile, received up to 10:30 last night. when all communications failed, indicated that the center of the gulf coast storm was south of Mobile. with the wind shifting to north and blowing 30 miles an hour. At 10:3O D. m, the barometer registered 29.55. a fall of 15 degrees within an hour. The storm is expected to reach Mobile be- fore morning.
