TENS OF THOUSANDS
ARE HOMELESS
Large Section Of Toxic Com
pIeteIy Submerged.

Toxic, Aug. 15.-The waters of the
River Sumida are still rising and the
HOMO and Fukadawa wards of Toxic
are nearly completely submerged
Tens of thousands of persons are
homeless and starving. One of the
three more important emhankments
guarding Toxic has broken. Should
the second and third dykes break half
the capital would be submerged.
Thousands of homeless people are
schoolhouses, at which relief stations
the most deplorable sights are seen.
The victims of the food are wholly
dependent on public relief. Thousands
more have been unable to find shelter,
owing to the insufficiency of boats to
convey them to places of safety and
they are exposed to the rain and hum
ger Every available boat Is being
employed in the work of rescue and
to convey food where it is most
needed.
The question of feeding the strick-
en- people is causing apprehension.
The vegetable and fish supplies are
failing and the stock of biscuits al
ready is nearly exhausted There is
no fear, however, for the supply of
rice. The water of the Sumida river
is almost washing the bottoms of the
bridges. The climax of the inundation
is expected soon.
The mountain food in the neighbor-
hood of Kauizawa has destroyed the
Mikasa hotel. Many foreigners were
stopping there, but fortunately no
fatalities have been reported so far.

TO GUARD AGAINST CHOLERA
Rigorous Measures Taken by Ameri.
can Representatives Abroad.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Rigorous
measures have beer taken by United
States representatives abroad to pre-
vent the introduction into this coun-
try of cholera through the United
States ports.
At the instance OF the public health
service at Washington, the United
States consular officers at Hamburg,
Bremen. Antwerp and Rotterdam and
other Continental and British ports
are working under cabled instructions,
which require them to detain steerage
passengers from cholera infected dis
tricts In Russia and to disinfect bag
gage prior to embarkation for the
United States. The instructions were
given on account of the recent reports
of many cases In Russia and the pros
pect of the spread of cholera in Eu-
rope.

TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
General Wood Promises to Supply All
Troops Needed.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Major Gen
eral Leonara Wood, chief of staff of
the army, ! vs. asked the interior de-
partment and the forest service to
agree on a ioint plan for the use of
United States troops for fighting for
est fires in the West.
While.the war department has been
rushing soldiers to the aid Of fire fight
ers as quickly as requested, General
Wood told officials of both services
that the efficiency of the troops would
be greatly increased If plan could be
decided upon which would prevent
duplication of requests and clashes of
authority. Such a plan probably will
be presented to him.
The war department now has troops
all around the fire in Western Monta-
ma and Northern Idaho, either at
mobilization camps or at home posts.
BY joint plan of action, troops near
est the individual fires will be used to
fight them General Wood says the
Indian forestry services will be given
all the troops they may need in the
existiug emergency. -.

CHANCES ALL IN
CAYHoH'S FAVOR
Making papid Progress To-
ward Recovery.
DANGER PERIOD PASSED

Attending Physician, an Expert on
Cunshot Wounds, Says the Mayor
Has About 95 Per Cent Chance of
Getting Well Now--lrritation of
Throat Is Causing Considerable
Coughing.
New York, Aug. l5.-Mayor Gaynor
awoke from the most refreshing and
long continued nights sleep that he
has had since he was shot In the
neck by James j. Gallagher last Tues
day with every indication that he
was making steady progress toward
recovery. This Was the word brought
from the mayors bedside by hts sec
retary, Robert Adamson, who report
ed the patient cheerful and talkative
and displaying an increased appetite.
The following bulletin as to Mayor
Gaynor's condition was given out:
Mayor Gaynor passed good night.
He is cheerful and his condition is
very satisfactory"
There appears to be only one minor
feature OF the mayors case which
does not completely fit In with the
general scheme of optimistic conclu-
sions. According to Robert Adamson,
the mayors secretary, the patient is
considerably bothered by coughing.
His Physicians Not Alarmed
This irritation of the throat caused
the physicians to renew the spraying
with tincture Of benzoin, which had
been given up In the hours immedi-
ately following the shooting.
The doctors do not appear to be
alarmed over this. however One of
them explained the unusual coughing
as due prob ably to slight paralysis
of the muscles in the region of the
bullet wound, bat he said II was moth
ing to cause anxiety.
Practically all danger has passed
now" was the declaration of DR.. Ed
ward w. Lee, who is an expert on
gunshot wounds and was one of the
surgeons summoned to Buffalo when
President Mckinley was shot "Ev-
cry hour the mayor lives and his tenn
perature keeps down increases his
chances of recovery. He has about
95 per cent chance of getting well
now"
For the first time since the mayor
was taken to the hospital the mem
bers of his family went to bed at
their regular hour. They we're told
that the mayor was in no danger.

A heavy pail Of smoke hangs over
