STRUCK (BY TYPHOON
i HONG KONG HARBOR SWEPT BY
TERRIFIC STORM.
HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST
Storm Rag?s For Two Hours. Strew
ing the Wreckage Along Watei
Front, Leveling Buildings.
Hongkong, China—Twelve steam
ers were sent to the bottom of the b .
or were wrecked ashore by a typhoon
which struck Hongkong harbor Tues
day morning and raged for two hours,
destroying shipping, flooding the water
front and leveling biddings in the city,
the American steamship S. i\ Hitch
cock is among the vessels driven
ashore.
The storm, which began at 10
o'clock, swept down on the port with
out warning. Water was sucked up
by the big twister and hurled into the
city. Streets were flooded. The in
habitants were panic-stricken.
Out on the bay crews were battling
with the storm. Mountain waves sub
merged the ships. The crews had no
time to launch life-boats. Bodies were
washed ashore, which were lashed
with foam. Wreckage was strewn
over the bay.
For more than an hour it was feared
that the city was doomed. Houses
were unroofed and buildings blown
down. Terror-stricken crowds rushed
through the streets seeking places of
safety from the storm.
The damage cannot be estimated.
The loss of life, it Is feared, was
heavy.
Hongkong a British City.
Hongkong ("red harbor"), or Hiang
Kang ("(he fragrant or flowing
stream"), is an island belonging to the
British off the southeast coast of Chi
na at the mouth of the estuary that
leads to Canton. It is about 10 miles
long and 71L. miles wide.
Hongkong is a great center of fore
j iftn trade for China and a mart foi
opium and flour, mercury, ivory, betel,
cotton, amber, oil, petroleum, woolens
silks, salt, tea, sugar, etc, and has
manufacturers of sugar, rutn, ice and
Vermillion. It lias a mint for trade
dollars.
Hongkong was ceded to Great Brit
; ain by the treaty of Canton in 1841
and again by the treaty of Nanking
In 1842 Since then many wealthy
Chinese merchants have established
branche houses there, and charter
British sliii s to carry goods to the
northern ports.
There are many Americans resident
in Hongkong and it is visited annually
by a large number of American tour
ists.
A FORTY ACRE CAVE-IN.
Hundred Houses Damaged by Caving
of Coal Mine.
W’llkesbarre, Pa The town of Ply
mouth, three miles south of this city,
suffered from a disastrous mine cave
in. The cave was over the work
ings of No. 12 mine of the Ply
mouth Coal company. Forty acres, I
covering nearly all the streets in the |
eastern end of town, are affected. One '
hundred houses were damaged, some j
to such an extent that they can not I
be occupied until repairs are made.
The water pipes and seweis in the'
streets were broken and the sidewalks
ami trees uprooted. Great fissures
lu the earth extend the whole length
of the street.
Some people were thrown out of
I tnelr beds, and all thought a severe
earthquake had occurred. Many would
not sleep In their houses, fearing an
other cave in.

WARSHIPS GETTING READY
ROOSEVELT ORDERS PREPARA
TIONS FOR CUBAN CAMPAIGN.
Navy Yard Officials Rush Supplies
Aboard Vessels—Secret Instruc
tions to Conimanders.
Washington Jacob Sleeper, the
American charge d'affaires at Havana
advises the state department that tiie
government of President Faina lias
considerable doubt of its ab li;> to
maintain itself.
President Roosevelt has givt ti rush
orders to the officials at the navy yard
at Norfolk to hurry stores aboard the
cruisers Tacoma and Cleveland so as
to enable the v» ss Is to sail for Cuba
by Saturday.
May Order Vessels South.
Consideration has been given the
question of sending the entire Atlantic
fleet, under command of Rear Admiral
Evans, to Cuban waters. Th situ
ation In Cuba is such that th • gov
ernment may be forced to order these
vessels south.
There is no secrecy on the part of
tiie army officers on duty a* the war
department that plans for a campaign
have not only bei u discussed, hut have
actually been decided These steps
have been taken because the adminis
tration does not desire to lose any
time in sending troops to Cuba to
maintain peace and protect life and
property if the situation becomes so
acute as to demand action on the
part of tiie government.
It is stated in the most emphatic
terms by Acting Secretary Bacon that
there has been no request on the part
of the Cuban government for In*< rven
tion by the I'nlted States. But official
advice has been received by the de
partment that the revolutionary forces
are conducting their war upon the
very gates of Havana, and that, the
capture of Presid nt Palma and the
members of his cabinet is am mg th"
possibility s of the next few days, if
Palma drains in seek an asylum on
an American warship it will be gran'ed
him.
Denver Anchored Near Palace.
The Denver is now anchored in Ha
vana harbor, almost within a stone's
throw of Palma's palace. In case th"
personal safety of Presld-nt Palma
should be threaten! d he could bo tak n
aboard the visscl within a few mo
ments' time. Commander Colwell. In
charge of the Denver, will, of course,
also afford all possible protection to
American citizens in the rit> of Ha
vana.

HOvw Rhode# and Beit Met.
Mr Rhodes once told a circle of
friends after dinner the story of his
first meeting with Beit. I called at
Porges' late one evening,’ he said,
• and there was Beit working away as
usual ’Do you never take a rest?’ I
asked. ‘Not often.' he replied. ’Well,
what's your game?' said I. I am go
ing to control the whole diamond out
put before 1 am much older,’ he an
swered. as he got off his stool. ‘That's
funav,’ I said I have made up my
mind to do the spe; we had better
join hands.’ ” Join hands they did.
Vnlike Alfred Beit, Cecil Rhodes had
small patience with arithmetical de
tails. Once this characteristic in
volved him in a difficulty. Pitching a
balance sheet into the pile of papers
before Beit, he exclaimed desperately,
Here, you understand things; for
heaven’s sake tell me how I stand.
Didn’t Have Auk Eggs.
Prof. Edwin Ray Lancaster, presi
dent of the British association, was
busy in his study one morning recent
ly when a country woman sought an
interview with him. Laying a parcel
on his desk she said, triumphantly:
"There’s two of ’em.” "Two of what?"
said the professor. "Two ’awk's eggs.
I ’ear they are worth £1,000 pounds
apiece.” The distinguished scientist
undid the parcel carefully, looked at
the eggs and said with a smile.
"These are not auk's eggs. Those that
are so valuable are the eggs of the auk
—auk." "Oh, hank,” said the wom
an. “Wait till I get ’old of my son,
’Enery. I'll give 'im wot oh for send
ing me on a wild goose chase."
I would not enter on my list of
friends the man who needlessly sets
foot upon a worm—Cowper.

Impossible Advice.
In pulling down an old room at
Forking, England, workmen came
upon a wine flagon imbedded in the
brickwork. A page of foolscap dated
Aug. 15, 1785, found inside the flagon
gave details of the building of the
chimney of Josiah Reeve, the owner,
with the names of "ye master carpen
ter" and "ye masterbricklayer." It
concluded: “Josiah Reeve, father of
six children, leaves this memorandum
in this place. His wife was Elizabeth
Houston, of Great St Helens, London,
to whom he was married March 18, )
1775. Reader, go thou and do like- |
wise.”
