II4V0C WROUGHT
BY A HURRICANE
A WMb Village of 308 Souls Entirely
MANGLED BODIES
WERE RECOVERED
The
Pearl Fishery Coast of North
Queensland Visited by a Hurricane
That Destroyed Everything in its
Path.
Victoria, B. C, May 20. Shortly be
fore the juat arrived steamer Miowera
left Sydney for this port, the cutter Mys
tery returned to Cookstown from the
Bcene of the recent disaster by hurricane
on the North Queenstovra coast, by
which practically every vessel engaged
in the pearl fishery was wrecked, and
much property lost afloat and ashore.
The sights that met the eyes of the relief
expedition along the desolate coaBt were
horrifying beyond description. In one
place, where a picturesque fishing village
with a population of 300 bad stood,
neither house nor tree nor living thing
was left. The site of the little settlement
looked like newly plowed land, and the
survivors among the fishing folk Lad
fled for safety to an inland town twelve
milds distant.
There and further along the coast
mangled bodies of men and domestic
animals were found. Several were se
cured with somedifficuty, wedged in the
branches of trees that had defied the
etcrmj whither they had been blown
from distances as great as a quarter of a
mile. The Mystery's officers and crew
recovered in all fifty-eight bodies, of
which eighteen . were identified and
claimed by mourning relatives. Of the
remaining forty, thirty-six were natives,
whose remains were given respectable
burial in one great trench. An official
report says tbat eignty-six vessels were
wrecked and that 385 persons lost their
lives.
DISCUSSED SUN
DAY OBSERVANCE
Presbyterians Discuss What Shall Be
Done on that Dav.
Minneapolis, May 19. Sunday obser
vance was the question which took up
the major portion of the Presbyterian
assembly today. Most of the afternoon
was devoted to an earnest discussion of
the report ot a special committee on
Sabbath observance. In the end the
committee's resolutions were adopted
with a slight amendment and two more
were added. In discussion of the Sun
day street car, Snnday newspapers, the
Sunday working Presbyterian and every
form of work which is not in harmony
with a literal obeyance of the fourth
commandment was condemned. A speci
ai committee reported mat it baa en
deavored to keep congress and the presl
dent from granting the Roman Catholics
permission to erect a chapel on the
West Point military academy reserva
tion.
In a debate on the Sabbeth resolution
almost every speaker gave evidence of
being imbued with the feeling ex
pressed in the words of the committee,

down to Lake Bennett, as the lakes are
breaking up in places. It is now almost
impossible to cross over. Several men
tried crossing Monday, before ennrise,
but the ice had not frozen during the
night, and they barely escaped with
their lives. From the summit of
Bennett all the smaller lakes are getting
soft, but without a heavy pack they can
be crossed. The police at A.llin have is
sued a similar order for Atlin lakes.
Both the Bennett and Atlin lakes are ex
pected to run out inside of two weeks,
and boats are expected to move bf

It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and euffering, The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery for con
sumption, coughs and colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine; and bave the satisfac
tion of knowing it has absolntely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases
of the throat, chest and lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough

Homeward Bound. .
Manila, May 20. The cruise:-
Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board,
left here on her homeward journey at
4 o'clock this afternoon. As she steamed
away, the Oregon, Baltimore and Con
cord fired an admiral's salute. At the
first shot the band on the flagBhip
played a lively air, and the crew crowded
the decks and gave thunderous cheers, '

procured a bottle of this remedy. A few

Sliding Into the Sea.
Tillamook, Or., May 18. No cause
can be given for the mysterious moving
of a large number of acres of land toward
the beach at the sand spit. The land is
moving every day, throwing up the
rocks on the beach as it gradually makes
its descent. Theodore Steinliber's sum
mer resort, which was worth $5000, is
practically destroyed. The boose has
been moved between sixty and seventy
feet toward the beach.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When tbis tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and tbis tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing bnt an in

ARMISTICE NOT
AGREED TO
Threatened Attack'of Iloilo- by Rebels
Failed to Come Off Movement of
Koppe's Expedition.
Manila, May 20. Major-General
Otis has declined to recognize the rebels
to the extent of agreeing to an armistice,
but he has notified the American com
manders to refrain temporarily from ag
gressive action. Thus be is in a posi
tion to resume hostilities at anytime.
This will defeat any subterfuges to gain
time which would not be the case if the
general agreed to an armiBtice.
The Filipinos are so deceptive that the
people hesitate to credit with good faith
their latest overtures. But more atten
tion is now paid to them than to their
previous advances. The Filipino com
mittee is under instruction from Again
aldo and the congress, but it is possible
that if peace be agreed to, General Luna
and Pilar will continue a guerrilla
warfare.
Senor Gonzaga carries instructions
from Aguinaldo, which, he states, if ac
ceded to by General Otis, empower them
to conclude peace. Otherwise they
must return to their capital at Tarlac
for a further conference. They will, it
is eaid, aek for autonomy. The 'mem
bers of the present commission say that
the first commission was never recog
nized by Agninaldo, but was- elected by
the Filipino congress, which declared
for peace on May 6. The Filipino mili
tary power controls the situation, not
the congress.
iu Filipino commissioners called
on Major-General Otis this afternoon
and arranged to meet the members of
the American commission Monday, when
they expect their colleagues will have
arrived. The ihairman and the secre
tary of their commission have been
chosen.
Threatened Attack of Iloilo.
At Iloilo an attack on the Americans
was expected. The Filipino leader
boasted that he had 1500 riflemen and
10,000 bolo men, and had the impudence
to send an ultimatum to the American
commander, ordering him to leave the
island.
As a result many of the native left the
town and for several days the outpost
were doubled. In addition, the York'
town and the Iris anchored in positions
commanding the mouth of the Jara
river, where the attack was expected to
take place, but it failed to materialize.
