IA DIE in BLIZZARD
AT II BELOW ZERO
WORST STORM IN YEARS RACES
ALONG COAST OF CHILL.
SHIPS ARE ICE-BoUND.

PUNTA ARENAS, Chile.-For
twenty-four hours one of the worst
billiards in history has been raging
over this entire section, including the
TERRA del Fuego Archipelago. There
is no sign of any let-up.
Already fourteen persons are re-
ported dead as result of exposure
to cold and the fury of the high wind.
The temperature during the blizzard
has averaged eight below zero. At
times it has reached twelve below.
All of the straits and channels be-
tween the islands and mainland are
ice-blocked and many ships bound
from the Pacific to the Atlantic are
storm-bound, with little chance of
their clearing within a week.
An Avalanche of Snow.
The storm broke in greatest fury
around the base of Mount Sarmiento

In this city conditions are critical.
Snow is piled so deep it is almost i'm

those needing aid. The high wind
still makes it dangerous to leave
shelter without ropes trailing behind,
since it is impossible to see through
the storm more than a few feet.
Worst Storm Since 1889.
But one other storm of equal Sc
verify is recorded here. That was in
1889 when for three weeks there was
no communication with the world
and every channel in the archipelago
was ice-blocked for weeks.

ARMY HAS NEGRO PROBLEM
TO BE DEALT WITH NOW
Colored Troops Have Been Called to
Colors. Department Undecided as
To Where to Send Them.

To Where to Send Them.
Five thousand negro national
guardsmen have been called to the
federal service and within a few
weeks thousands of negroes will be
drafted, indicating that the war de-
partment must provide some place
to train the colored troops. White
soldiers and negroes cannot mingle
in the national army. That much has
been decided by war department of
ficials. Present plans call for sending
them to environments with white SOL
diers but the negroes would be kept
in separate companies and separate
barracks.
The big problem is winter quar-
tiers for the negroes, who, it is fear
ed, may not be sent South because
of recent race troubles. At the pres
ent time there is a training camp
for colored officers in Des Moines,
Iowa, where a separate cantonment
for negroes may be established.

during the epidemic. this on septem-
ber IA, few days before the opening
OF the schools, the authorities at the

move to eliminate all traces Of the
disease.
Twelve of the cases were clinical.
They all required the strictest isola-
ton. ThirtS-six of the cases report
ed were what are known as car

gerous, but by communication OF
germs TO others the spread OF the
disease is occasioned.
