THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MOXD AY, OCTOBER, 1, 190a STICKS TO POST IS Keeper of Horn Island Light house Declines Offer, of Refuge on Tug. WAVES CUT AWAY LAND Bodies of the Victims of the Great Storm or Wednesday Are Picked Up Along the . Gulf Coast. MOBILE. Ala., via Meridian. Miss., Sept SO The number of casualties in the great storm of last Wednesday is slowly Increasing, as messages "arrive from places -which have heretofore been inac cessible. The total last night of the known dead was 73. This number w-as brought up to a certainty of 79. and a possibility of 102, by the reports which reached Mo bile during the night and early today. Four bodies not before counted have been found at Coden, and It is estimated that 23 lives have been lost from the oysteir fleet around Cedar Point. This last estimate is not known to be accurate, and is probably somewhat exaggerated. U -ainn thai- it Inpltltfes aillOIlE the dead every man aboard a fishing boat who 'has not been heard of since the storm. It is known that some of the boats on which these men were have been driven ashore, and it Is entirely possible that some of the crews managed to reach the shore. It does not seem likely at present that the death roll will amount in this vicinity to more than 125. Clearing Streets oi Mobile. . Mobile itself is rapidly emerging from the confusion caused by the storm. Large gangs were kept working all of Sunday in clearing the streets o debris, three of the street-car lines have commenced to run. for the first time since Wednesday, the'confuslon at the docks is rapidly be ing repaired and business will be at nor mal action as soon as the railroads are able to run trains. As yet the Louisville & Nashville is still disabled, and is the only road which is not able to maintain a schedule. The time when that line will be open for reg ular traffic is conjectural. It will cer tainly be the best part of a fortnight be fore it will be running trains between Mo bile and New Orleans. The Southern and the Mobile & Ohio are running trains as before the storm. The situation along the coast to the west of this city is now fairly well known. At 6cranton. Miss., one church, the Oddfel lows' Hall and several buildings were blown down. At Pascogoula Beach not a residence is left standing, the river front at that point is completely torn up. and the lighthouse there has been destroyed. Shipping at this point has been badly damaged. The revenue cutter Winona, for which much fear was entertained, is now known to be safe. The crew of the cutter res cued the keeper of the Pascogoula light house and his family during the storm. Keeper lost W ith His Light. The keeper of the Horn Island light house. Just outside of Scranton. lost his life. The captain of a tug which came near the house at the commencement of the storm urged him to leave, but he re fused to abandon his post, and in a short time was drowned. The entire end of the island on which the lighthouse was sit uated is said to have been carried away by the waves. At Biloxi the damage has been of a mi nor 'character to buildings. Every bath house in the place has gone, and the beautiful driveway along the coast at this point has been destroyed. Boats which have from time immemorial found refuge from all the storms that blew, by fleeing into the back bay at Biloxi, were granted no such immunity on Wednesday, and the waves ran high and many of the boats that sought refuge there were sunk and all of them were badly damaged. At Pass Christian no lives were lost and the damage was slight. The wreck ing of a few houses comprised the dam age at Gulfport, and no lives were lost there. Five out of eight vessels at Ship Island at the time of the storm were beached and two will be total wrecks. Vessels Ashore Off Horn Island. Several vessels, .the names of which are unknown, are ashore off Horn Island and the small islands marking the pas sage between Dauphin Island and the mainland have been destroyed. The bea con lights on this part of the coast are not greatly damaged. The schooner Alice Graham, of Mobile, is known to have been lost, with her crew of six men. This boat has been pur sued by an evil fate. and. besides having various mishaps from time to time, was wrecked in the great storm of 1593, when several people were lost from her. The known dead at Dauphin Island are Captain John Worlen, of the schooner Irene: Captain Robert Peters, of the schooner Louisa B.. and Mitchell Pisell. mate of the same boat. Four bodies have heen picked up in the water near Dauphin Island and have been burled there. Two were evidently sailors and two were boys. The people on Dau phin Island suffered great hardships dur ing the storm, and for 24 hours were in great danger. The soldiers of Fort Gaines made a dangerous trip of two miles to the residences on the island, offering to give everybody shelter within the fort, but the offer was in all cases refused, the people preferring to remain In their own houses. Great Loss to Lumbermen. It is now believed the loss to the lumber interests alone by the storm will aggre gate tl0.000.OO0. It is almost impossible for ny person who has not been through the storm-swept district to comprehend the extent to which the country has been swept of pine lumber. Tens of thousands of trees of the finest quality have been blown down. It is possible that some of this may be saved, but much of it is lost beyond recovery. The number of logs that have been car rfed out to sea or driven into inaccessible swamps is enormous. The great major ity of trees that had been weakened by being tapped for turpentine were leveled, and dealers in turpentine are very gloomy over the outlook. Iiist of Destroyed Vessels. The following list today received from Herron Bay of lives lost and boats de stroyed at that place Is the first com plete list which has been obtained: Schooner Oyster Plant, total loss; one man drowned.

FORTS DEMOLISHED BY WAVES Five War Vessels Wrecked in Pen- sacola Navy-Yard. PENSACOLA. Fla., Sept. 30. The known loss of life in the storm Thursday is 30. which will Drobably be increased to 73. while the property loss will exceed $5,000,000. From Fort McBae to Escambia bridge, a distance of ten miles, the bay shore has been swept clean, except a few wharves, where floated a fleet of larsre shiDs before the hurricane. Fort McRae. one of the modern coast forti fications, has been swept from the earth and five lives lost. Fort .Pickens and Fort Barancas are badly damaged, the former almost wrecked. The navy-yard has suffered to the ex tent of over $1,000,000. Five war vessels were sunk and driven ashore, the floating dock crushed and other damage sustained. Three lives were lost there. ' Jhe life saving and Immigrant station onSanta. Rosa Island have been swept 4complteb off the map. and five persons are gnofvn to have been drowned there. . n, M- V The magnificent Escamla drawbridge, costing hundreds of thousands of dol lars, is gone, and three lives were lost there. It was more than a mile in length and owned by the Louisville & Nashville. Three immense export docks of that com pany have been swept away or damaged. Every wharf and warehouse along the city has been demolished, and the red snapper fishing industry, the largest of the world, destroyed. The immense packing-houses have been carried away, and of a fleet of about fiO vessels two remain. From S00 to 1000 homes have been de stroyed and fully 2000 damaged to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Relief committees are working night and day in an effort to relieve the suffer ing of the hundreds of destitute. MANY VESSELS ARE ASHORE AVater Front at Pensacola Is a Mass of Tangled Wreckage. f PENSACOLA. Fla., Sept. 30 It is diffi cult to give any adequate idea of the magnitude of the storm devastation here. The entire water front is a mass of tan gled wreckage. The costly bridge of the Louisville & Nashville, spanning Escam bia Bay, was demolished, and it will be many days before trains can go eastward. Train service north has been restored. Out of 13 fishing schooners of the E. E. Saunders & Co.'s fleet, only one is afloat. Warren & Co.'s fleet suffered equally as much, only one vessel being undamaged. The others are on the beach and some of them are broken up. The tugs Monarch and Mary L. lie high and dry on the beach. Among ocean-going craft high aground are the Norwegian ship Ingrad. Norwe gian bark Helmbal, Norwegian ship Avan ti. Portuguese ship Ferreira. schooner Donna Christiania. Swedish bark Alflld. Norwegian bark Andrew, Italian bark Avon, Norwegian bark Hereford, German bark Maria. Swedish bark Neach. Italian bark Olivari. Norwegian bark Superb. The fishing smacks Lottie Hoskins and Carrie B. Chase, and the lighter Iris crashed into the bay shore home of Laze Jacoby, wrecking it, and the crew of the Chase were rescued from the front gal lery of the residence. It is estimated that 300 people are homeless and in want, bnt citizens are raising a fund, and it is not now believed that any outside help will be needed. Mrs. T. F. Mathews, wife of the bridge tender at Escambia Bay, and two chil dren were carried away in their house and were drowned, despite the frantic efforts of Mr. Mathews to rescue them. GREAT TRACT WAS FLOODED. Storm Covered Mississippi Delta With Deep W'Aer. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30. Reports that probably a dozen lives were lost and that hundreds of square miles of land were under IS inches to four feet of water during the hurricane on the Mississippi River delta were brought here today. The inundated tract begins 50 to 70 miles below New Orleans, and Is most ly inhabited by fishermen and oystermen. Messages which left these villages last night said that up to that time several persons were still missing. The loss to the United States Marine Hospital quarantine station on Ship Isl and is about $60,000. Of the eight sailing vessels wrecked on the island, it is re ported that half of them can probably be repaired and refloated. Six'Added to Death List. NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 30. Six more deaths were added to the list of drowned in the Mississippi Sound region today. Captain Culver, his wife and four boats men, who were on an island in Grand Bay on the Mississippi-Alabama state line when the hurricane began, have been given up for lost. Everything on the islands wa3 washed into the bay, leaving the place almoRt barren. Another Storm Is Coming. WASHINGTON. Sept. 30 The Weather Bureau tonight announced that another "tropical disturbance" is reported as ap proaching the Yucatan Channel from the east, but that there was no information available as to the Intensity of the storm. COAL RUNNING SHORT Trouble at Fernie Mines Affects the Canadian Northwest. WINNIPEG. Man.. Sept. 30 fSpecial.) As the result of the strike of 6000 min ers employed at the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company and the Fernie-Michel and Coal Creek companies at Fernie, a coal famine threatens the cities of the Canad ian Northwest. The mines at Lethbridge have been closed down for several months and when the managers of the Fernie mine refused to discharge non-union min ers. President Sherman, of the district organization of miners, called all his men out. Even the coke ovens are now shut down. The company is evicting the min ers and their families from the houses owned by it. and there have been several clashes between the police and the men. Go-ernment officials are trying to settle the trouble by arbitra tion, but so far without success. ALL HER PUMPS AT WORK Mongolia Starts for San Francisco With Leak in Compartment. HONOLULU. Sept. 30 The steamship Mongolia sailed for San Francisco today. She is reported to be leaking about a foot an hour in compartment three. The pumps are being worked. REBELS AGREE TO LAY DOWN ARMS Funston Has Amicable Confer ences With the Insur gent Chieftains. MARINES COME ASHORE Force of 450 Is Sent to Clenfueg09 to Exert a Calming Influence Where Affairs Are at a High Tension. HAVANA, Sept. 30 The work of dis posing peacefully of the revolutionary forces in arms against the Cuban gov ernment is already practically under way. Brigadier-General Frederick Funston. chairman of the disarmament commission, had two amicable conferences today with L General Pino Guerrera and Del Castillo. ana arranged a programme periecuy satisfactory to all concerned. In fact General Funston said this evening that the wind-up would be so smooth and rapid that it will take much less time than had been anticipated. The first landing of any considerable number of Americans took place tonight, when 430 marines came ashore from the squadron in the harbor. This force pro ceeded for Cienfuegos this evening on a special train. It was explained that this movement was not made on account of actual trouble in Cienfuegos, but for the purpose of exerting calming influence on the local situation, which contains some possibility of a conflict by reason of the tense feeling existing between the gov ernment volunteers and the insurgents. Gloom at the Palace. The day at the palace passed quietly and rather gloomily. There are as yet no signs of Secretary Taft's actual oc cupancy of the edifice, which today was the scene of a number of farewells to ex- President Palma and his family. The members of the diplomatic corps and the foreign consuls called in a body to say good-bye. They gave expression to many sincere words of friendship and apprecia tion of the character and kindliness of the late head of the republic. benor .fauna received ail his visitors with quiet dignity and seemed entirely reconciled to going, although he still appears dejected at the outcome of the revolution. Toward evening the private reception-room of the palace was thrown open, and scores of personal friends called and remained for some time with Senor Palma, his wife and other members of the family. The ex-President is besieged with re quests for interviews by cable and in person. London newspapers are urgent in asking for an interview. To the ca blegrams, the ex-President has not re plied, while to the newspaper cor respondents here he has sent word that he has nothing further to say. Palma Would Leave Quietly. Today Secretary Taft sent a letter to Senor Palma saying he desired to escort him to the railroad station to morrow and show him every courtesy due his exalted position. Senor Palma thanked Secretary Taft cordially, but said he wished to leave quietly with out ceremony. The disarmament commission has de clared that the rebels shall not receive payments for their arms, but each man will be given transportation and sub sistence until he reaches home. The programme of disarmament is simply that one member of the commission, accompanied by one or more represen tatives of the revolution, will visit, each command. The arms will be deposited with the battalion commander, who will turn them ever to the commission. The reb els will take their . horses home, the animals which have been stolen to be returned later to the owners on proper laentincation. Special Train for Insurgents. In order to expedite the return home of the large number of revolutionists in Pinar del Rio Province and avoid possible dis turbances, during the operation, a special tram wiu be run. beginning vv ednesdav from the point on the line nearest the rebel camps to San Juan de Martinez, the terminus of the Western Railroad. Men and horses will be distributed at the in termedlate stations. The government will begin distributing rations in the rebel camps tomorrow. The provisional government has no ex pectation that even a considerable num ber of the revolutionists will surrender their arms. Most of the weapons are the personal property of the men carrying tnem. ine nrst agents or the disarma ment commission left here tonight for Puerto Principe. Others will start tomor row for Santa Clara Province on a spe cial train, which will pick up the arms turned in at the various places on the way. Guerra to Aid Disarmament. As Santa Clara Province contains the largest number of rebels in arms, the work there will be especially arduous. General Guerra himself will assist in su perintending the work of the return of his men to their homes after the forces in finar del Kio Province have given over their arms. General Funston expects to remain in Havana in general charge of the work of disarmament. When this is completed he will take command of all the United States troops in Cuba. General Pino Guerra. speaking today of the new situation in the island, said all the men of his forces were eminently sat isfied with the arrangements. He ex pressed the belief that the stability of the government was now assured, and pre dicted that never again, would there be a revolution in Cuba, thanks largely to the United States Government for the hand it had taken in the settlement of the dif ficulty. Rebels Will Obey Chiefs. Asked whether his men shared his con tentment with the proposition to return quietly to their homes. General Guerra said: "The men under our command will obey us. Those who do not obey us never were with us. The revolution is ended and we have won, and we are supreme ly content." General del Castillo said: "We would have preferred a peaceful solution, arranged, if possible, between the Cubans themselves, instead of inter vention, but we are satisfied because the corrupt administration has fallen and an honest election can be depended on next year. We consider our fight has not been in vain. We have faith that the inde pendence of Cuba is not endangered by American intervention, and together with General Funston we have drunk a toast to President Roosevelt and the independence of Cuba." Bluejackets Carried on Street-Cars. The landing party of marines and blue jackets for Cienfuegos was made up of detachments from the Louisiana. New Jersey. Newark and Minneapolis. They boarded 16 street-cars, in which they were taken to Villa Nueva, where they were Mail orders promptly filled-New Fall Catalog sent on request MONDAY BARGAINS FROM "THE LIPMAN-WOLFE SCHOOL OF STYLE" Women's 50-Inch Coats, $17.50 Value $10.50 New Popular Long Coats Just Received by Express.

The two sections followed the regular through trains which left at 6 o'clock. The bat talion attracted little attention, as the transfer was not looked for. The battleship Kentucky arrived here tonight, bringing 500 more marines. Governor .Taft has Informed all the members of the Palma cabinet that he would appoint Ministers in about 10 days; in the meantime the sub-secretaries are acting. It is believed that some of the ex-members of the Cabinet will be re installed. Governor Taft ha6 sent a ca blegram to Senor Quesada. the Cuban Minister at Washington, requesting him not to press his' resignation. Volunteers Giving Up Arms. The disarmament of the Government volunteers began here today, when the Estrada Palma battalion of city militia was disbanded. Naval officers feel some anxiety concerning the cruiser Tacoma. now on her way to Cienfuegos. on ac count of indications of a hurricane in the Caribbean. The story published in the United States that a number of American marines had been killed by insurgents is declared by Governor Taft and the rebel commanders to be without foundation. Colonel Bur nett, the ranking marine officer, is in command of the battalion sent to Cien fuegos. The first landing of the force to garri son Camp Columbia will be at 5:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Th coming ashore of these men, as well as the arrival of some 6000 soldiers from the United States. is not considered locally to intimate any hostile purposes. Goernor Taft said to night that he did not anticipate any trou ble, and the bringing in of these forces was chiefly to restore confidence in busi ness circles, especially among foreigners. The American troops will be quartered in permanent barracks in the same man ner that they are distributed at home in time of peace. , Precautions Against Yellow Fever. Drs. Finley and Barrett, the chief health officers of Cuba, and Dr. Lopez, the health officer of Havana, conferred today with Governor Taft for the pur pose of arranging extra measures look ing to the extermination of mosquitoes, or in other words to guard against yel low fever. There" are six cases of fever in Havana, and this causes some appre hension. Governor Taft' has received telegrams from provincial and municipal authorities throughout the island declaring allegiance to the provisional government. Many of these communications were couched in extravagant terms of fealty. Governor Aleman, of Santa Clara Province, tele graphs that he had already resigned to the Palma administration, but had re ceived no answer. He now sends his resignation to Governor Taft. General Fimston tonight estimated that from 15.000 to 25.000 horses not belonging to the rebels are now In their hands. Hot Day at Los Angeles. L03 ANGELES. Sept. 30.

SOME RATINGS ARE RAISED Widow and Three Daughters Are Still Carried on Account of the Revolutionary Avar Total Less Than Million. WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. The net de crease in the pension roll of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30 last, amounted to $12,470. the largest decrease ever known In the history of the country. These facts are brought out in the annual report of Commissioner of Pensions Warner, which has just been completed. The report of the. Commissioner ex presses the opinion that there will be a. still more marked decrease during the present vear. During the year there were added to the rolls 33.569 new pen sioners and 1405 restorations and renew als, making a total addition of 34,874. The total number of pensioners on the roll during the year was 1,033.415. The number of pensioners dropped from the roll during the year was 47.444. leav ing the number of pensioners on June 30, 1906. 983,971. The maximum of pen sioners in the history of the bureau was reported January 31, 1905, when it was 1,004.196. Death was the principal cause of the decrease of the last year, the number of names dropped on that account being 43.300. Of these 29,208 were those of sur vivors of the Civil War. leaving 666.465 survivors of that war still on the roll. There are still four pensioners on ac count of the Revolutionary War, one a widow and the other three daughters; 6S0. all widows, on account of the war with Spain, and 11.427 on account of the Mexican War. Of the Mexican War pen sioners 3934 are survivors. The Commissioner calls attention to the fact that while there has been a ma terial decrease in the number of pen sioners, the annual value of the roll is nearly as large as it was last year. This arises from the fact that the ratr ings of many invalid pensions are con stantly increasing, the average Increase last year being $1.22. The report shows that in the entire history of the country the total expendi tures on account of pensions has been $3,459,860,311. of which only $96,445,444 had been paid out prior to the beginning of the Civil War. The total payment 1 fie E Sold regularly at $17.50. Very Special Chap" style, made of fine all-wool " silk dust ruffle.

Sept. 30 Acting Inspector-General Galbraith of the Army, in his annual report, says that the gen eral condition of the Army has improved during the year as regards military con struction, and that the troops are in a fairly satisfactory state of efficiency and readiness for field service. The plan suggested by General Fun ston. that the term of first enlistment be limited to one year, is favorably regarded in the report, because practically it would remove the blight of desertion, and be cause the enlistment of a young man for three years' service at low wages Is opposed to the prevailing views among laboring classes. In the opinion of the Inspector-General, the pay of enlisted men should be In creased. The report indorses General Funston's plan for the establishment of a National reserve force. RAILROADS TO EE SUED. Complaints Made of A'iolation of Safety-Appliance Law. . WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. Attorney General Moody has directed that suits be brought against a large number of railroad companies to recover penalties for violation of the safety appliance law through failure to keep their equipment in proper condition. The largest number of violations attributed to any road is that of 51. against the Delaware & Hud son Company. The total number of vio lations is 181. Certificates for Chinese. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister, called at the State Department yesterday and conferred with Acting Secretary Adee and Chief Clerk Denby, respecting the issu ance of certificates to Chinese who may desire to come to America from other countries than China. A satisfactory ar rangement for the issuance of the certif icates was made. CHINESE ARE SMUGGLED IN First on Soil of Humboldt County Since Trouble in 1885. EUREKA. Cal., Sept.
