THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTILEBORO ERIDAT, AUGtTST 18, 1899. 3 NEWS IN BRIEF. PORTO RIO0 DEVASTATED, VERMONT NEWS. WHOLESALE MUEDER, MANY FILIPINOS KILLED BRATTLEB0R0 LOCAL. THE SAME OLI STORY Bloro Volunteers. Geiii Miles In Favor of Hemline; Cnlor cil Troops In the rillllpplnes. Although It baa not been definitely decided to call out more volunteers, there Is every Indica tion that Bueh a combo la likely. The war depart, ment la prepatlng lists of officers of the regular army, who have been successful as Held officers and commanders, with a view, It Is supposed, of having material for new regiments, should It he decided to raise them Gen, Otis also has been cabled to recemmend such officers. Secretary Hoot has telegraphed the governors of different states, asking them to name officers of state regi ments of volunteers who had been neglected, and stating that It was desirable to create a reserve list from which appointments could be made to fill vacancies. Gen. Miles has recommends ! that the five ad ditional regiments of volunteers which Secretary Hoot has virtually decided to raise, should be composed of colored enlisted men with regular army regimental officers. The msjor-general commanding urges the arrangement on the ground that colored men can stand the climate better than whites; that they would be more willing to remain permanently In I he tropics than white volunteers, and that desirable fighters of rood physique would be more easily obtained than whites, at the rates of pay offered in the army. Possibly the suggestion will be adopted, as an Interesting experiment at least. The regl mental officers for the five new commands have already been practically selected, and It will be a simple matter to direct them to confine enlist ments to colored applicants.

At Lcnst 2000 People Killed by the Storm Which Hlvept Over the Island Last week Ponce Inundated and riOO of Her Itestdrnts Ilrtiwnrd Crops and Houses Destroyed and 100,000 Peo ple In Danger of Starvation, The hurrlcare which swept over Guadeloupe. St. Thomas, St. Croix and Porto Rico last week Tuesday was one of the most devastating storms in the history of the West Indies. One despatch says that It Is feared that the number of deaths now Is greater than In 18C7, when C000 people per ished. More than 100,000 people In Porto Rico are entirely destitute and In danger of starva tion. Over (00 bodies have been recovered at Ponce, where the rivers Portuguese and Canas overflowed theh banks. The water from the ocean also ov. rfloxert a laree nart of Ponce. There la not a drop of drinking water In the city, ine cisterns ueing nuea wun sail Bea water. Widespread sickness is sure to follow. A dread ful stencil arises from the dead bodies. A despatch Sunday stated that probably 2000 people were drowned In the Ponce district. 'Ihe number of people of the poorer classes lost la not known, but it Is certain tbat there were few fa talities among the persons of the wealthier class and none among the Americans. The work of clearing away the debris progresses slowly. Yabucoa, Adjuntas and Uumncoa weredevas tated, and In some Instances entire villages were swept out of existence. One hundred persons are reported to have been killed on a coffee plan tation. Everybody Is ruined, pestilence threat ens and money and work are needed. A news paper appeal has been made to the American people for relief.

The transport McPherson left New York Tuesday with a large quantity of rice and bt an, and other fast vessels wt'l carry supplies as soon hi- possible The follow ng despatch was received at Wash ington Sundav nleht via Havtl from Governor General Davis at San Juan, Porto Rico: The true state of affairs throughout the Island not jet known because of total destruction of all telegraphic connections and great destruction on all roads, not more than ono fourth towns yet heard from, but enough Is known to warrant the statement tbat one-fifth of the dwellings In tie i.-lund are totally destroyed and their owners are without shelter whatever, or any food beyond what has been saved from the dob'ls. The coffee crop and most of the tr es are ruined, and thus reliance tor support is gone, ruuy one-tnira oi the people subsist entirely on fruit and a small degree on tubas. All the former Is destroyed and much ot the latter are rotting in the ground. Great many thousands of cattle are drowned, and the dfbrls carried down by the rivers Is strewn over the oc-an with the wreck of the storm and the dead bodies of animals. "The deaths from falling walls and drowning will number more than a thousand and may be several times Ibis number. The state of distress Is very great aim wben g een rruits saved rrom the debris are consumed the suffering will be very great. Iam 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 destitution must continue tor some weeks or even months, until the bananas grow up from the ground for which five months at least are required. Food of all kinds Is needed, especially rlc, bears and cod fish, which has been tbe mnln support outside of fruit. Cheap cotton clothing Is n so needed, for thousands rushed naked from their dwellings at night when the gale broke. Medicines are also needed most pressingly, especially quinine and other simple medicines. I estimate that at least 1000 tons of food will be required weekly for sev eral weeks. "I have constituted boards all over the Island to regulate assistance and a gene al board here to conduct the relief work. While I have not yet full data I repeat the estimate that at least 100 -000 people are homeless and destitute. Relief ration proposed one pound cf food per day (com posed of) seven ounces of beans, seven ounces of rice and two ounces of codfish. In addition to the food ordered by the Mcl'herson I ask tbat 2500 tons, above proportions should le shipped next week. Before this Is consumed I will have full data respecting future needs, but I fear ex tensive Issues ot provisions will be necessary for several months. I shall push work on tre roads and gle employment to as many as possible. I hope tbe charitable peoples of tbe states will con tribute food, clothes, medicines and money. Colonel Hofer, chief surgeon of the department, Is chairman of the hoard of relief and auxiliary boards are organizing In all the towns. Five military posts not yet heard from. (Signed) DAVIS." In a second despatch Gen. Davis said: "Further but still Incomplete reports confirm previous came reports s conservative Suggest an appoint ment of officer In New York to receive relief funds and supplies, cabling quantities and kind shipped on each boat. Colonel Hofer, medical department, charge relief work here. Should be shipped this week not less than 2500 tons food. Rest to be sent beans, rlee and cheap grade cod fish. Cotton clothing and coarse cotton goods In piece, needles and thread also needed. Money will be applied in assisting to rebuild bouies and nurs ana mre ot neiD. "I recommend that bags for sugar and coffee, all kinds of rough lumber for building and fencing, hooks, staves and boons for BUgar Dacking and galvanized iron and nails for roofing purposes be placed on first list.

After four days spent In secret session tbe Dreyfus court martial resumed its public sittings on Saturday. Oen.

The enemies of the prlsoi er had promised the world that when Mercier should bave told all, there would be no further question ot tbe guilt ot Dreyfus. He spent four hours on the stand, and then went cut from the court room a man discredited by his own teetl mony, branded as a liar by Dreyfus, and booted by the populace. He was followed by 31.

If I worked hard or stood on my feet much, It brought on a feeling of pressure over the hips. and sometimes I could hardly stoop or sit down. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, went to F. R.
