Several persn8 aie repoite( drowncl at St. Michaels. A few houses were destroy ed at St. Teresa. The wires are down south of here, and railroad service to the Gulf ports is suspended. The storm was one of the hardest that ever passed over this section. For hours the wind was ter nfic. and the rain fell in torrents. The city of Appalachian, at the mouth of the Chattahoochee river, is enitrely cut ofl from communication and noth ing can he learned from there. A new trestle over the Ochlockno river at Mclntyre was blown awav. The wrecking tiain which went into the stricken territory found over 200 trees on the track, in a run of 80 miles. ..u.ibor KjI utouiicii, Wiio iiiia charge of the train, says that every town along the line is desolated. Ho tels, houses. churches, sawmills, wharves and pavilions were in many plaoes blown from their positions, and in manv instances completely wrecked. There are many rumors afloat here tonight as to the loss of life. One mill hand is known to be drowned at Mc lntyre. One man was drowned at St. Marks, but rumors place the loss of life there at 15. It is not believed here that any lives were lost at the numer ous summer resorts, but reliable news is unobtainable. A large relief party will leave Talla hassee for the stricken section. YAQUI INDIANS ACTIVE. Itoth American! mid Mexican! Said to Be In Peril. Chicago, Aug. 4. A special to the Tribune from the City of Mexico says: News from the lower Yaqui river coun try today is that roving bands of In dians are killing both Mexicans and Americans, and that a numbei of Americans in the outlying districts have already been slaughtered. Fears are expressed for the safety of the large number of American prospectors who have been pouring into the Sierra Madre mountains during the last year. On the 22d of last month signs of the present trouble heoame apparent and Chief Tetabiate, always peaceably inclined, cautioned the tribe to remain 'quiet, and ordered five of the principal disturbers shot. The Indians fell on their chief and oeat him to death with clubs and then a large band massacred 50 soldiers in the barracks at Bacum, slaughtered Carlos Hale, a prominent merchant of Guaymae, and went down the river murdering and plundering. The noted frontier general, Lorenzo Torres, with only 200 men, marched to Bacum and threw himself upon the as sembled Yaqui forces. A battle was waged for two days, in which 40 Yaquis and 11 soldiers were killed. The Yaquis were pushed baok toward the mountains and on the third day anoth er fight took place,, in which 43 Yaquis and four chiefs were killed. The Yaquis were dispersed and driven into the hills. State troops were gathered from all over Sonora by Governor Corral. About 1,500 men were mobilized and pursued the Yaquis into their mountan fastness. The Yaquis took position on the peaks of Cuesta Alta, and the latest report is that a battle was fought on July 29, and that the troops were gain ing an advantage. But Few More Casei. Washington, Aug. 4. Advices re ceived bv Surgeon-General Wyman up to 2 o'clook from Hampton, show that the only change in the yellow fever situation is the addition of four sus pected cases to those already in exist ence. These have been removed from the camp to the hospital. This infor mation and the additional statement that tl ere has not been a death since 7 o'clock, and that everything with reference to the disease is more than favorable, was received from Governor Woodfin, of the soldiers' home. He also wired that he is quite sure the pestilence will be stamped out. Llventock for Klondike. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 4. W. J.

Terrible Work or the Storm In North ern Florida. Tallahassee. Fla., Aug. 5. The first train since Monday from Carrabell, thiough the 6torni ridden gulf coast section, reached here this afternoon. The train crew and passengers agree in stating that reports sent out of the destruction wrought by the storm have been extremely moderate. Carrabell is literally wiped from the map. Her docks and wharves, containing about 400,000 feet of lumber and 50.000 bar rels of rosin, were quickly swept awav. Thirteen or 14 large lumber vessels in the hay were swept ashore, and are now lying well upon dry land. These vessels contained seveial million feet of lumber. No information is obtain able as to the loss of life from these vessels or from the large fleet of fishing boats in the neighorhood. Only two or three huts aie left standing in Carrabell, and one colored woman is known toiiave been killed by the falling of a house. Citizens of Car rabell are in a state of wild confusion, and are flocking in every direction for relief. The town is isolated and the wires are still down. The towns of Molntvre and Curtis Mill are demolished, and large inter ests have been destroyed. The coast resorts, Teresa and Lenark, are more seriously wrecked than at first reported, ui vioiiuio jiiive bUiioieu tiOat, hard ships, though no loss of life is vet known. Fifteen men. said to have been fishing on an island called Dog island, just bofore the storm broke, cannot be found. YELLOW FEVER SITUATION, No New Caien, No More Fatalitieg, No Spread, No Contagion. Washington. Aug. 6. The yellow fever situation at Hampton continues favorable and encouraging, in the opin ion oi the officials of the marine hos pital service. According to official re ports there has been no snread of the contagion 6ince yesterday nor has any of the cases now under treatment proved fatal since that time. It is hoped to confine tlie disease to the sol diers' home and Phoebus, but Surgeon General Wvman thinks it too early t make a definite prophecy regarding th outbreak. Now In Washington State. Washington, Aug. 5. Marine hos pital officials at Hampton have suc ceeded in tracing and locating a former inmate of the soldiers' home, who is believed to hare brought yellow fever to that place. His name is William Thomas. He arrived at the home on a transport from Santiago, where he had been visiting fioin July 2 to 5 last. He was admitted to the home as a vet eran and soon after developed chills and fever. In the light of subsequent events experts believe there is little doubt he was affected with a mild case of yellow fever, although it was not diagnosed as such at the time. When well enough to travel, he left the home and his baggage was sent to Phoebus. The man himself went to Columbus City, Wash., where ho now is. Itemed y for TubercnlonU. Washington, Aug. 5. Anew remedy for tuherculosis, developed in Franoe, has been repotted to the state depart ment by United States Commercial Agent Atwood at Roubaix. It is a treatment called to the attention of the academy of music by Dr. Mendel, and consists in the daily injection into the bronchial tubes of essence of euoa lyptus, thyme and cinnamon, held in solution in olive oil. The oil in de scending Blowly, comes in contact with the walls of the tube and upper lungs. The gas set free saturates the air in the lungs and acts on the mucous mem brane. In 16 cases treated, after one or two weeks there was in all a lessen ing or complete cessation of the cough or expectoration, as well as a return of sleep, appetite and strength.

Paulo Predicted for Germany. Berlin, Aug. 5. The Deutche Tagea Zeitung today publishes a sensational article predicting a geat panic in the German money market. The paper said that during the last six months 1,595,000.000 marks of new shares were issued, of which 518,000,000 were industrial securities which it is al leged exceeds the whole issue of 1898. A mass of evidence is quoted to prove the existence of unsound speculation. Jumped From Brooklyn Bridge. New York, Aug. 5.

Were Nearly Fifty Per Cent Large! Than a Year Ago. . IS. G. Dun & Company, in their weekly review of tiade, say: .There is certainly room for some de crease, when the volume of payments through tbe clearing-house, in July, i 47.2 per cent linger than last year, the best of all pievious yeais. So great an advance would warrant expectation of some setback under ordinaiy circum stances. This year, the unusual free dom from labor troubles, about July 1, is followed by some signs of a tendency to stiike, because great works are com mitted far ahead and cannot halt with out loss. But interruption of business by labor troubles of all soits lias been less than in any other July for years. Nor is the movement of products hamp ered.
