SAN FRANCISCO, January l7.--
Dispatches from revolutionary leaders
in shanghai TO the heads Of the King
Ghong Tong here last night reported
that a general engagement between
10000 Of the rebel forces and the i'm
periaIist troops in the Szechuen prov
ince had resulted in the complete. de;
feat Of the ssechuen troops by the
revolutionary ARMIES.
The imperialists lost more than one
thousand men, say the reRorts, and in
their retreat many prisoners fell into
the hands Of the pursuing Republi-
cans.
The revolntionaries successfully oc-
cupied Tsue Chow Flu and are believed
to be threatening the capital Of the
province, Cheng Tu.
This victory Is declared to have had
great weight among the wavering ele.
ments in China, and recruits to the
Republican cause are coming in rapid

tiOn over the triumph Of the republi-
can armies, and the prediction is made
that the revolutionary generals are pre-

the imperialist forces. e.,

Wagon, Pigs and Chickens Are
Swept Into Sea and Bridges

Adyices received here on Saturday,
give additional news Of the havoc
wrought on the Isiand of Mani BY the
recent storm, The Maui News says;
"The incessant and furious down
pour Of the last week Is responsible for
many things, which may sound funny
TO those not directly interested. but
which are anything but q joke to those
who got hurt.
''The lao river, ordinarily quiet,
dried bp old stream, got full and aow-
ed over twice. A wagon near the big
steel bridge, in Waikiki was carried
bodily away and out TO sea. Several
pig pens along the banks Of the stream
were washed away, and the many lit
tie pigs sailed down the dark stream
sqpawling their death song in a dismal
and discordant chorus.
Ned Krueger, guard at the Wailu
ku prison, lost some thirty most valu-
able and industrious chickens, whole
heneoop being carried to sea.
A number Of Japanese vegetable
gardens along the border Of the stream
were. flooded and everything growing
In them torn away by the mighty wa
ters
4 cup in lao Valley the avalanche Of
raging, seething and frothing waters
smashed the fine bridge, partly cement
partly wood, which spans the first
crossing. Another smaller bridge near
Kapaniwai was also shattered.
ttKahului, the Venice of Maui, was
almost entirely inundated at times.
The pond back of Kahului, toward Pun
meme, took on the proportions Of lake
and flooded the fine oiled road leading
to Puunene.
"Between Wailulku and Lahaina the
road was made impossible ii several
places, and some automobile drivers,
who deied the rain and the storm, got
stuck on the fats. Of the Olowalu side
Of the mountain 4 road. The storm
greatly interfered with the mails, and
people waited in vain for their usual
budget on Sunday, Tremendous waves
broke continuously over the Kahnlni
breakwater, but no serious damage, was
done. Vessels were unable to enter

II HUE, January To- Breaking
~ adrift in one Of the worst
gales that has swept the lee shore
of Kauai in years, the schooner
Prosper, Captain Murchison, was
driven ashore this afternoon at the
mouth of the Hanapepe river, and
the bark British Yeoman is now
in dangerous plight, her anchors
dragging and allowing her to drift
close to the breakers.
The Prosper, which left Mukil-
teo November IS, last, for Port
Allen, was the first to feel the eff
fects Of the storm, which began
raging early this morning. Al
though efforts we're made to hold
her, she broke adrift from her an
chorage after a desperate fight, and
about two o'clock this afternoon
began drifting backward.
Makes Desperate Fight
Captain Murchison headed his
vessel up with the aid of a little
sail he managed to- hoist, and
.steered for the opening of the Ha-
napcpe river, For time the
watchers on the beach and on the
British Woman Thought that he
was going to make his port and
beach, his ship behind the protect.
ing land, but at the last moment
the Prosper struck off the edge
of a rocky ledge that stuck oitt
into her path, with crash that
could be heard ashore over the
bowling of the wind.
In the meantime Captain Nelson,
commander of the British Yeoman,
called for volunteers, and five men
and an officer manned one of the
small boats of the bark and went
to the assistance Of the drifting
Prosper, The little craft battled
vanly with the pillows, which, by
this time, were rolling shoreward
in great, Dreaming mountains, max
ing it impossible. for them to get
near the endangered schooner.
Small Boat Overturned x
The men in the boat kept on,
however, and at one time it looked
as though they were going to be
able to get on board. But a huge
comber taking them on the quarter
tossed their tiny boat over and over
and dashed it BACKWARD, The
Prosper had already struck and the
waves were curling over her in a
way that threatened her with
speedy destruction. The men Of the
British Yeomap, after fighting with
the breaking surf, we've flung out
on the beach and dragged to safety
by lifcsayers, waiting on the beach
to aid. Every one got safe to shore.
Bark In Bad Plight
While their fight to reach and
aid the Prosper was going on no
one paid attention to the plight Of
the bark, but as soon as the boats
crew landed il was seen that she
was in perilous position. The
great combers were pounding her
fiercelyt and the wind, which was
blowing with tremendous force,
was. dragging at her anchors as
though determined to SNAP the
hawsers. /" m m.
