DESCRIPTION OF THE
PORTO RICAN STORM
ANOTHER INTERESTING LETTER
FROM VICTOR H. PINKNEY.
ffhe Results of the Cyclone Are Aw
ful to Contemplate It Will Re
quire Over a Million Dollars to Save
the Afflicted People from Starva
tion More Than 2,000 Killed nnd
000 Wounded, and All the Reports
Are Not In Yet Porto Rlcans Ap
preciate the Help from America.
. H. Plnkney. of Dunmore, Is in re
ceipt of the following interesting let
ter from his son, Victor II. Plnkney,
svlio Is with the Porto Rlcnn army li.
the Inspector general's oillce nt t3an
Juan:
AUEUst 23, ISM.
My Dear Parents: 1 legiet very much
rtiy Inability to write you ere this with
reference to the destructive storm wtilci
passed over thh Hand the Uh inxt , ami
ivsret further thnt you tdiould have had
cause to be alarmed for my wclfnre.
you must bear In mind that the months
we are now pausing through are vtry
sickly ones for us Americans. A suftu
caUng heat relsn. thioughout the il.iy.
nnd when nlsht comes, 'tis UH-less to sick
for coolness, a faint ?epliyr Is hiiccieded
Jjy a calm of several houts the. ntnos
jihere becomes opnrusphp,, and the body
weakened by perspiration, becomes lnn
culd; the appetite foils, and the mos
quitoes, buzzing about your ears l,y day
and night, peiplex and annoy you by
their sting", while the innumerable ver
min, si'ch as tle.is and other Insects,
which as the natives say "quo plea
muclio" almost unity the life out of you.
.The rains comes down like an Immense
quantity of water poured through a sieve,
Inundating the low lends, cauMng the
rivers to overflow their banks, and mak
ing the smallest brooks become deep and
rapid torrents. In such a season there
fore, fevers are prevalent, and they at
tack one with u sudden and Irresistible
violence.
Tho excuse, therefoie, of a slight sick
ness, is the apology I must offer for iun
neglect to write you. With reference to
the cyclone, 1 can say but little, as per
haps you have been Informed from the
homo papers of all the details, the most
graphic .of which, 1 feel sure, but haif
portrayed the nwful destruetlveness, mis
ery nnd desolation, wl.lch have been left
in the track of the hurricane.
HAUD TO UKAIA7.K.
This morning as I gazed over the wall
of the garden which almost surrounds
our olllce, away across the waters of the
bay. whoso vast expanse, without n wavu
or a rullle to mar Its surface, appeared
like an iminvnso mirror, to the long ridga
of undulating mountains which command
the city, covered with their dark purple
foliage, to which, the sun's rays penetrat
ing the mists arising therctiom, added a
Kulden tint, I could scarcely believe that
nyond such a scene of loveliness there
could bo the desolation described.
The day preceding the storm I remem
ber was a perfect one. The weather had
cleared up after a few days' rain, and tho
sun, whoso heat had been hitherto mod
orated by partial clouds and showers of
rain, seemed ns It were to set In a cloud
less sky. The cattle In tho pastures
sought the friendly shade of the trees,
the leaves of tho stately palms, nnd tall
coeoanuts seemed as If ufraid to stir, and
a calm seemed to pervade the whole face
of nature. And yet from the signal tower
of the weather bureau hung languid two
red flags, conveying the ominous warning
that a hurricane was rpproachlng.
Some laughed at the warning, others re
lated strange things which they had ob
served, which proved beyond a doubt thit
ft storm was at hand. One old native
rUated that on the pieceding night he had
observed that the stars seemed to be
twloo their size, that alouud each one
of them appeared a vapor, which ob
scured yet seemed to magnify them. The
pun, himself, hod appeared like a mam
moth ball of Mood, and that the waters
of the small stream which ran close to
his cabin had emitted a sulphurous smell.
That very night, the small stream which
ran babbling by his home became a fierce
and mighty torrent, sweeping everything
before it. Such a night can never bo for
gotten. The Ilcrco roar of the waters
and of tho trees being destroyed by the
ylnds, the shrieks and moans of person",
tho bellowing of cattle and neighing of
horses, the torrents of water Inundating
the fields, tho blackness of the night,
now and again erased with fire let loose
in flashes nnd streaks of lightning, must
have seemed to have announced to all
tho last convulsion of tho universe and
tho death agonies of nature Itself. Yester
day, a garden of paradise; today, a
dreary waste of n cruel winter.
somi: OP TUB CONDITIONS.
To enter details Is unnecessary. Itc
ports declare the alarming fact that lln.ro
nro nrobably 2VI.00O people on tho island
who will be shut off from their usual food
suppb, nnd In fact shut off from any
food whr.tever.
Plantations have been laid waste, their
crops all destroyed; nnd none can be re
produced from the soil In less than seven
teen weeks, and during this period these
people must bo fed, und it has been esti
mated that no less than a total of SI.2K),
OuO will be nccosetrv to prevent starva
tion. About 12.7W.O0O pounds of rice, 12,7M,OOD
pounds of beans and 4,250.001) pounds of
codfish are required to feed the people,
at n. ratio of one pound per day per
capita. This Is not ver large when It Is
taken Into consideration that a soldler'H
ration Is four pounds per day.
Some estimate the number of killed to
he mora than 2.000, at,d the wounded nt
MO; houses destroyed, 7,000; homeless per
nuns, 23,000; dependent families, COO, und
missing, 1,000. Take Into consideration
that all reports nro not as yet in, ns In
Dome places no means of communication
ro available, nil tho lines arc broken
down, and the swollen rivers and streams
make pnsiage Impossible. In Ponro
alone the loss of life Is aggregated nt CW,
and tho stench, which emanates from tho
sewers and cellars Is fearful, duo to tho
carcasses which have lodged there und
become decemposed,
Several boat loads of supplies lmo ar
rived hero from tho states nnd a good
deal of money has bten contributed. Tho
people, hero ulunr itujlr appreciation of

WILLIAMS MAKES DENIAL.
American Soldiers Commit No Bar
barities nnd Do Not Wantonly
Destioy Property, as Has
i Been Alleged.
The following letter from Hon. O. V
Williams, formerly United States con
sul nt Manila, appeared In the Manila
Freedom:
Manila, July 12, 1899.
Editor Freedom:
I thank you for your request for my
opinion as to the vicious nnd treason
able utterances of certain United
States papers concerning the sort of
warfare waged by the United States
army In the Philippines.
It has been my honor and pleasure
since May I, 1S9S, to stand close to
both navy and nrmy and to enjoy the
conlidence of all leaders.
I havo been In camp, on firing lines
and nt conferences, and I know that
reports of massacre of women, chil
dren and prisoners, of Americans, de
stroying homes and robbing, are abso
lutely and maliciously false.
I am aware that perhaps a score of
Nlpa shacks have been destroyed by
order of our commanders because they
were nests for Filipino sharpshooters,
but nine hundred and ninety-nine out
of every one thousand houses and busi
ness places burned in the Philippine
Islands, since Feb. 1, have been wan
tonly burned by the Filipinos, It is
well known that Filipino officers or
dered every place burned as soon as it
became evident that they must evacu
ate. At Santa Ana, Paco, Paslg, Caloo
can, Malolos, San Fernando, Hollo, etc.
Our kindness to the vanquished has
been tho greatest surprise to the Fili
pinos, who were accustomed by Span
ish victors to torture, solitary and
loathsome confinement and execution.
When by Major General Otis' order
wo care for Filipino wounded as tend
erly as for our own; and When he sends
scoies of tons of food to the starving
women and children, as after taking
Paranuque, I.as Plnas, Uacoor, Imus,
etc., tho tongue should be palsied when
uttering aught but praises for the
humanity displayed by the victorious
warriors of the Eighth army corps.
After Dewey sunk Montejo's licet he
sent United Stntes navy surgeons to
care for Spanish wounded, as he had
none of his own to care for, and Otis
has shown the same high degree of
humanity.
It Is lucky for the reputation of Ana
nias that he made his record nnd died
before these modern liars were born.
Respectfully.
O. F. Williams.
Late United State Consul, Manila.

Superintendent of Motlvo Power
FitzQibbons Other Notes of In
terest. The Lackawanna road iccelved nt
Its round house in this cltv Tuesday
night from tho .Hrooks Loconwtlve
works at Dunkirk, N. Y the largest
locomotive ever built for the Lacka
wanna company.
It exceeds In various details the
mammoth SS8, buUt recently nt the
locnl shops of the company, nnd that
wns considered to be a wonder. The
engine, which Is numbered SOI, has a
total weight of 201,000 pounds, 159,000
on the driving wheels and 42,009
pounds on the trucks. Its holler Is
78 Inches In diameter, the cylinder 21
inches in diameter, with n 32 Inch
stroke. The driving wheels are 54
inches In diameter nnd the driving
wheel Journals are 9x12.
The tnnk Is a new feature In en
gines. It uns a sloping coal space,
which keeps the coal coming down .is
the lireman shovels it. The fireman
will stand on a deck two feet higher
than the ordinary decks of locomo
tives. A water tank of two feet will
bo under the deck.
The new iOl will be fired today and
given a trlnl In nbout the yards of tho
round house.
Tho new engine weighs 3,250 pounds
more than the mammoth 88S, and has a
boiler 4 Inches longer, but Its driving
wheels nre two Inches smaller In di
ameter than those of 888.
The latter ntentfooled engine has
two wheel pony trucks, while the new
one has a four wheel engine trucks.
There are fourteen more of the mam
moth engines to be received by the
company from the Hrooks works. They
are now turning out one a day, and will
send two every other day for the next
two weeks. Two engines will be re
ceived today or tonight. They are to
be used principally as hill engines be
tween this city and Lehigh.
Delano Shops Declining.
The Delano shops are destined soon
to be a thing of the past, so far ns em
ployment Is concerned. The pay roll Is
fast depleting, and where once the
busy rattle of 300 machinists, boiler
makers, blacksmiths and others em
ployed about the several departments
made the place a scene of bustle and
life, only one-half that number ire
now employed.
Yesterday an engine left the shops
with the greater part of the mechanism
loaded on flat trucks, for the reason
that the work could not be complete!
at Delano owing to lack of men. And
nearly every day sees some portion of
the work usually done at the shops
sent away because of the reduction of
the force.
Contracts for Two Steel Plants.
Within a short time the large foun
dry of the Pottstown Bridge company
will be started and the force of hands
greatly Increased. The company has:
received contracts to furnish all the
structural Iron for all tho buildings of
the Republic Iron and Steel company,
at Youngstown, O., and the structural
steel for a new steel plant at Chester,
Pa.: also several steel bridges on the
Northern Pacific railroad at Duluth,
