WASHINGTON. Auk. 14.-Tho fol
lowing arc the diputclu"t received by the
War depnrtnicnt from (icneinl llnvis yes
terday :
"The trtip state of nlTnlrn tlrniluut
the IsliuiJ not Jet known Ihh-uiimv of ttnl
destruction of nil telegraph lc cnimcctimn
nud great destruction on nil rondx. Not
more that) one-fourth towns yet heard
from, but enough In known to warrant
the statement that one-fifth of the dwell
ings In the island are totally destroyed,
and the owners are without any abetter
whatever or any food beyoud what him
been saved from the debris. The coffee
crop and most of the trees are milled,
and thus relinnee for support is Rone.
"Fully one-third of the people subsist
entirely on fruit nnd a small decree on
tubas. All the former Is destroyed, nnd
much of the lntter are rottim? in the
ground. Great many thousands of cattle
are drowned, and the debris carried
down by the rivers Is strewn over the
oeenn with the wreek of the storm nnd
the dead bodies of animals. The deaths
from fnllinn wnll nnd drowning will
number more thnn 1,000 nml may be
several times that number. The state of
distress is very (irent, and when green
fruits saved from the debris are consum
ed the suffering will be still greater,
"I am relieving the suffering every
where within reach as much as possible,
but in out of the way places are many
thousands who cannot be reached for
some time. The supplies ordered sent by
the government will help much, but will
last only for a few days, while destitu
tion must continue for -many weeks or
some months until the Jmnnnns grow up
from the ground, for which live months
nt least nre required. Food of all kinds
is needed, especially rice, beans nnd cod
fish, which has been the main support
outside of fruit. Cheap, cotton clothing
is also needed, for thousnnds rushed
naked from their dwellings at night when
the gale broke.
"Medicines nre nlso needed most press
ingly, especially quinine nnd other sim
ple medicines. 1 estimate that nt least
1,000 tons of food will lie required week
ly for several weeks. 1 have constituted
boaids all over the island to regulate as
sistance nnd a general board here to con
duct the relief work. While I have not
yet full data, I repent the estimate that
at least 100,000 people nre homeless and
destitute.
THOUSANDS DROWNED.
Fearful Havoc and Destruction
In
Porto 11 leu by the Hurrlcnne.
rONCE, Porto Uico, Aug. 12. It is
now plain that Ponce was the greatest
sufferer by Tuesday' hurricane. The
rivers Portuguese nnd Canas flowed
through the city, drowning thousands of
people.
Five hundred bodies have nlready been
recovered.
An eyewitness who was on the top of a
large stone building in the Alhambra
plura saw the bodies of men, women and
children floating in the water in
tue
streets. Every one was paralyzed wltn
fear and unable to render nuy assistance.
The southern const was swept clean as
far as Vauco, IS miles. The towns of
Tallabou and J nana Diaz were destroy
ed. Only the large church edifices are
left standing.
The storm of 18G7 killed 0,000 people,
and it is feared that the number of
deaths is greater now.
There is not a drop of water iu Ponce
to drink. The cisterns are full of suit
water from the ocean, nnd the stench
arising from the dead bodies is dreadful.
Widespread sickness is sure to follow.

M. Labor! left his house alone for the

of the town, about a quarter of an hour's

them fired n single shot from a revolver.
The murderers were only a couple of

Maitre Labor! is young, fair, handsome

talents as n speaker are not of the high- i

Paris bar knows better how to use law to
defeat its object. He can drive a motor '

him to neglect business. The Zola affair
wus a great advertisement, but it brought

accept pecuuiury reward from Dreyfus,
