KEHPFF SENT TO THE SCENE The Jfavy Department Has Cabled for Further Particulars of the Disaster. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. The Navy De partment today received the following ca blegram from Admiral Remey, confirming the report of the disaster to the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite at Guam: "Cavlte, Nov. 29. Bureau of Navigation, "Washington: Captain of transport Sher man reports total loss of Yosemite No vember 13. Chains parted In typhoon, drifted to sea and sank 70 miles off. Col lier Justin went to rescue. Steam launch crew of five lost Shall send Kempt! to Guam tomorrow to ascertain extent of disaster and transport Yosemite crew to Cavlte, REMEY." Admiral Remey's dispatch came at an early hour and gave the first official data of the total loss of the Yosemite. The dispatch was communicated to Secretary Ling, vho came to the department and spent part of the morning there. The Secretary expressed profound regret at the loss of the ship and the men, but there was some consolation in the fact that the toss of life was comparatively small, considering the large complement ol officers and men carried by the Yose mite under ordinary circumstances. A dispatch was sent to Remey, asking for ell further particulars which might be available, and for the names of the lost boat's crew. The fact that Admiral Kempff has left Cavlte by this time for Guam gave assurance that everything possible will be done. The Secretary said the department would make every effort to ascertain the extent of the disaster and the names of those who were lost, and would keep the public Informed. Admiral Remey's reference to the Jus tin, which went to the rescue of the Yose mite, applies to the collier which recently arrived at Guam. The plans concerning the Yosemite were in a transient state, and within a few days from the time of her loss she was expected to leave Guam foi Cavlte. At the same time the col lier Bn'tus had been ordered from the Philippines to Guam, where she was to take the place of the Yosemite as a sta tion ship. In the absence of all cable connection with Guam. It is Impossible for the department to know whether the Brutus had reached there at the time of the disaster.

The General Alava. which is reported from Manila to have passed into the track of the same typhoon which overwhelmed the Yosemite, Is a little gunboat of 532 tons displacement. Nevertheless, she Is said to have been perfectly stanch ana seaworthv. and providing she met the storm in the open sea she would In nil probability come safely through it. The Alava was a Spanish gunboat captured by the United States Army In the Phil ippines, where she had been used by the Insurgents, and was turned over to the United States Navy about a year ago.

There was no fever in Puerto Plata when they arrived, and Mr. Donaldson, said last night that he could not tell how the disease had been contracted. "It may have been due to tearing up the streets to relay water mains," he said, "or It may have been caured from some arrivals from Porto Rico, who were ill. At any rate my wife and daughter, the latter 19 years old, were stricken and died within a week. Kathryn also had the fever and I determined to save her by taking her to the mountains In the In terior. "We fled from Puerto Plata to Santiago, the principal city of the Interior. They refused to take us in at first, as they were suspicious. I went on to other towns, but each one turned us away. It was a question of taking Kathryn on the sad dle in front of me and making a three days' ride across a rough country where there were no conveniences, or retracing our steps to Santiago. We were In a great valley which had been discovered by Columbus, and which Is In about the same condition now as It was then. Its roads are cattle trails, and civilization has parsed it by. "We went back to Santiago, and after much persuasion we were finally taken In. The change of air saved Kathryn and she quickly recovered her usual health and strength." CONVENTION A FAILURE.
