THE GUAM TYPHOON
Remey Reports the Loss of
the Cruiser Yossmite.
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 Brutus took out a crew
of marines, who will act as a garrison
et Guam, replacing the forces which have
be n there for about a year.
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.

VICTIMS OF YELLOW JACK.
Misfortunes of an American In Santo
Domlna-o.
NEW YORK. Nov. 29. Walter A. Don
aldson, whose wife and daughter, Mary,
fell victims to yellow fever In Sacto Do
mingo, arrived on the steamer Cherokee,
bringing home his only remaining girl,
Kathryn, aged S. Mr. Donaldson was col
lector of duties for the Santo Domingo
Improvement Company. Puerto Plata. He
relinquished a position In the United
States Treasury Department to take the
place. He Is an Immune from fever and
speaks Spanish, Portuguese and French.
He had been In the southern republic
more than a year when he sent for his
wife and two daughters last August.
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."

the hope that these would continue. Af
ter the usual toast to the Queen, Mr.
Gully said:
"We will now drink to the distinguished
man Just chosen again to be the ruler of
tho greatest English-speaking community
on the face of the earth, for whom we
wish a peaceful, prosperous term, and we

he said:
"It has been my high privilege to serve
with the American Army In Cuba, and to
witness the devotion of the American sol
dier to his flag and his country. The sight
filled me with pride and admiration, both
for him and his flag. I wish to refer es
pecially to the gallantry of General Chaf
fee. If I were to tell of his deeds of
bravery, I would make his ears tingle
even at this distance."

nlty for, observing the movement of peo
ple In the Middle West, says the passen

Coast Is very heavy.
"The Burlington, the two Rio Grandees
and the Southern ""Pacific, " which have
been so ;wldcly advertising their combi
nation excursion rates In connection with
tourist sleepers, are now reaping their
harvest," said he. "The popular Burling
ton No. 3 was run In two sections from
Lincoln West, as was the corresponding
train of the other roads over the Rockies.
Although some of this traffic is diverted
a.. Ogden for Portland and the Northwest,
yet the Southern Pacific .has six through
tourist sloepers from Ogden to San Fran
cisco. Many persons In the Interior who
have for years cherished the hope of a
visit to the Coast now find It possible to
gratify this desire. On the other hand,
the greatly Improved facilities for first
class traffic secures a constantly Increas
ing number of those who look for com
fort by the way. The excellent dining
car service saves the Inconvenience of
rush at eating stations and furnishes good
meals at moderate cost. The new sleep
ers and dining-cars are models of beauty
and comfort. We were favored with fine
views of Mount Shasta on the "way from
Sacramento to Portland. The forenoon

crowds awaited the cavalrymen, and the
cheering was lusty and long throughout
their march to their quarters. Padding
ton, where they detrained, was ablaze
with color, as were the streets along the

the general gaiety and the throngs sang
"God Save the Qeen." A portion of the
