Kingston, Jamacia, Sept. 16. The
hurricane of Sunday was undoubtedly
the worst visitrtiou of the kind ever
experienced by the West Indies during
the century. Two hurricanes swept
along the island chain from Birbadoes
westward to St. Vincent, and thence
northwest to St,. Kitts, where it was
last heard from. Barbadoes suffered
mostly from the rain, which destroyed
crops- and roads as it did at .St. Lucia
and other islands while the center of
the storm swept over St. Vincent and
Guadaloupe. .
Details received f-om St. Vincent
show that great destruction of life and
property took place there. Out of a
population of 41,000, 300 were killed,
and 20,000 idjured and rendered home
less. Besides this, owing to the com
plete destruction of provisions, they
are all starving. The island has been
absolutely gutted by wind and floods
from the mountains in addition to the
waves along the coast.

LONDON. Sept. 19. Three or four
bla?k thunder clouds are overhanging
the political horizon of Europe. The
ureyius, Cretan and Egyptian ques'
tions have become more acuta, and it
is difficult at present to forcast th eout-
come in either case. An indication
of the activity in the official world is
found in the fact that the" Marquis of
Salisbury, who went for a quiet holi
day to take the waters of Centerville,
has had a special telegraph office es
tablished at his hotel in order to deal
with the mass of official telegrams
pouriog in and out.
It is understood that the British
premier has o-dered the-most stringent
measures to be taken at Candia where
the British tioops were recently fired
upon by Mussulmans, the execution
of which only awaits' the arrival of
sumcient reinforcements oi her mai
esty's soldiers, who now number 2000,
while another battalion is on its way
to Candia from Egypt. The most ra-
cen t advices tend to show that the
powers are disposed to give Great
Britain a free nana to obtain repar
ation for the massacre of Christians
and tlie insult to British arms.
The absence of news from Fashoda,
the important place about 400 miles
south of Khartoum, which is reported
to have been occupied by a French
force, has put the British upon tenter
hooks, but they have implicit faith In
tbe British commander 'General Sir
Herbet Kitcbaner, and have .cheerfully
assumed that the British and Egypt

London, Sept. 20. The Times this
morning publishes a letter from a Ha
vana correspondent in which the
i
I writer points out that there appears no
disposition among the Spaniards in
C.iba to attempt a pronunciamento.
The soldiers and civilians alike have
accepted the disaster and its con
sequences with a drean fatalistic calm
and the island is at last drifting into a
condition of anarchry.
Insurgent bands, the correspondent
says, are enjoying immunity in the
commission of outrages and plunder
ing, and this is especially true in tbe
Western provinces, where the insur
gents bitterly complain that they have
been ignored ana abandoned by tbe
United States, and being left utterly
destitute, can only save themselves
from starvation by rapine.
Without food, medicine and cloth
ing, they are dying like flies, and, un-
f jrtunately. it is the best elements
among the insurgents that are suffer
ing most severely.

and killed Oliver Young and seriously
wounded Mrs. Julius J. Worcester at
the O. R. and N. depot. Cunningham
with a cocKed revolver chased Miss

three shots at her, but the young
woman ran into a. saloon and eluded

where he snapped his revolver twice
at Mrs. Johnston, the proprietor's
wife.
Young, who is an employe of the O.
R. & N. Co., was talkiner with Mrs.

when Cunningham crazed by . drink,
drew out bis revolver and commenced
firing at the group.. Young was shot
through the heart and died almost in
stantly. He then turned on Mrs.
Worcester and shot her in the small
of the back, inflicting a very danger
ous wound.v Miss Worcester started
to run up Main street .when Cunning
ham fired three shots at her pursuing
closely. When opposite the Last
Chance saloon she ran in and hid te
neabfa the billiard table.
Cunningham entered the saloon and
brandisned his weapon in the face of
the men gathered there, who feared
to grapple with him. He wen tout the
back door and into the great , Eastern
hotel by the rear entrance, rushed to
Mrs. Johnson, wife of the proprietor,
pressed a pistol against her breast and
snapped the trigger twice. She rushed
screaming out of the door when several
men entered and secured the murderer.

ham was here all day Saturday before
committing the crime; and seemed'
rational to all with whom he "came in

Saturday, he appears to have forgot

Improving Water System.
Civil Engineer, W. J. Roberts, sub
mitted ;,ist night to a special meeting
of The Dalles water commission a re
port of measures necessary to be taken
to make our water system more effect
ive aginsb fires and an estimate of cost
of the same. The report was adopted
and as soon as the necessary specifica
tions are complete, the commissioners
will advertise for bids. The improve
ments Contemplate a 12 inch-pipe line
from the reservoir down Union Street
to the Episcopal church;, a 10-inch
line on Union street from the Episco
pal ehureb to Seconfistrejjt; "an 8 tach'
line on Fourth street from Union to
Jefferson, an 8 inch line on Jefferson
from Fourth to Third; and an 8 inch
line on Third from Jefferson to Taylor.
Three cross lines will connect the 8
inch line on Fourth with the 6 inch
line on Federal street to connect
Fourth and First streets. A 4 inch
line' on Garrison will connect tbe
Fourth 'street line North of Third
near the steam laundry.
The estimate - calls for 16 new
hydrants with six inch feeders and 21
gate-valves ' The cost may be any
where from ten to fifteen thousand dol
lars. -
Better Boads Needed.
Carl Peetz, a well known - Sherman
county farmer from near Moro,
brought a four-horse load of wheat to
The Dalles yesterday by way. of the
free bridge. But he will never bring
another load so he says at least
never till some work is done on the
road. He says that. in 12 years: be
never saw the roads so bad as they
are now. Tbe grade, this side the
Deschutes is as bad as it can possibly
be: It cannot be worse. . It is almost
imDossible for a person riding over it
in a buggy to keep bis seat. Some of
the chuck boles must be four feet deep.
Mr. Peetz'. neighbor, (Charley Huff,
who came over with a load at the same
time, broke the tongue of his wagon in
one of the holes, Charley won't come
back" wi'h any' wheat either till, a
gracious Providence sends rain , to
solidify the' dust or the powers that be
wake up to their duty in the premises.
Mr. Peetz is a friend to The Dalles and
likes to trade here. ' ' He isn't a kicker
either. : Hence his remarks ought to
have the better attention. ' "'

No effort was eyer made to recover the
cannon till a couple of weeks ago when
tbe captain made a search for them and
succeeded In. finding the cannon. He
also found the irons of a . wagon ' be

Following are a few extracts from
the leading eastren papers concerning
the neglect of the American army by
those who had charge of the var de
partment:
Grave charges are male against
certain officers in tbe hospital at Mon
tauk by a gentleman who visited tbe
camp on Sunday. In a letter to the
Journal he 9ays:
i nave seen sncn signts as l never
saw before, snd I doubt if any one else
ever diri; men sick unto death, stretch
ing out their poor, bony arms to at
tract attention. One poor, fellow, a
member of the Eight Ohio, gave me a
scrap of paper with the address of. a
friend in New York upon It,' which it
had taken him four hours to scribble,
and said, weakly.-- ' . ". ''
ppr God's sake, youog mar, "rite
to them and tell them to come and go
me. Tell them not to send ma any
thing. I won't get it for the officers
take all those things. But tell them
to come and take me away from here.
I don't mind dying, but-lfc.. is hard to
die like this. "'
"Beside the poor fellow sat a email
tin cup filled with hominy. I could
see the live maggots in it. This was
the food given to a sick soldier of the
nation. I saw a captain of the regular
army, with an orderly beside him
I had no way of learning his name
break open a box which was addressed
to one of tbe Michigan men in tbe
hospital, and, after tasting the rich
grapes and wine which topped off the
little bundle of delicacies, tell the or
derly to tako the box to the officer's
quarters. -
"There are fifteen men who will
make affidavit to similar offences. '
'The men of the Signal Corps are
slowly starving to death. They haye
no meat; nothing but decayed hominy
and colored water mentfor coffee. All
this three times a day, and they are
forced to dig refuse wells and sinks
and to clean horses." N. V. Journal.
A lot of supplies was being loaded
on board freight cars in Long Island
City recently for Camp Wikoff. A
large part of the goods was : spoiled.
According to men- who worked on the
loading of 1,923.-bags of oats from
lighters to cars at the foot of 3d street,
the oats was useless and not worth tbe
cost of handling them. They were
moLdy and musty and smelted so bad
that no horse would eat them. They
appeared to have been wet at some
time, and some of them were wet when
they were reloaded in the cars.
. At the same pier 450 large cans of
beef were being loaded into the cars
Some of these had been burst open by
rough handling and rough -usage, and
meat in the' burst cans had spoiled, but
they bad to be loaded with tbe rest.
The stench from the spoiled cans
made the longshoremen sick. The
oats, and also the meat, it is said had
been to Cuba on the Vigilancia, were
tinused and brought back.
Lighters in Newton creek were un
loading hay into freight cars. The
bay, like the oats,' was ruined. It was
musty and mildewed, and some of it
which had been soaked continually
was decayed. This bay had also been
sent out on one of the troop ships and
brought back, The hay ws covered
with filth. Apparently the men on
the ship had used the hay stored in
the hold as a sink. Oats, beef and
hay, bad as they are, will go to Mon
tauk. N. Y. Herald. -
' Edward McCullough, of Company H,
Ninth Regiment, died at Bellevue
Hospital. He became ill while in
camp, and was brought to Bellevue.
McCollough joined the Ninth regiment
on May 11. He went to Chickamagua
and suffered there tbe privations which
have so often been described. He suo
cumbedto tbe treatment and was hon
orably discharged on Aug. 11, because
of disabilities. He had written that he
and many others night after night had
to sleep on the wet ground without a
blanket. He ate salt perk and bad
hardtack, and ' the . only . good food
he got was what be bought out of bis
own scanty earnings. '.
When McCullough got home he went
to. his sister, Mrs. Curly, of "No. 510
West 27th street. She did not know
him. When he went away he was a
robust man. When she saw him at the
door he was gaunt and ill. He was
taken to the hospital and the surgeons
found he bad hasty consumption. He
never rallied. .

JOS. T. PETERS & CO.f
THE DALLES, OREGON
tells a story that shows gross mis
management and neglect somewhere.
He said:
"The camp at Huntsyille is high and
dry, but I am told tbe hospital is in a
ravine, subject to all the drainage of
wet weather. I did not see the hospital
but I saw what came out of it. I had
charge of . two cars,' loaded only with
typhoid patients. It was a pitiable
sight.
"Two of the first men who came on
my car were typhoid patients, almost
unable to help themselves. In their
weakened and desperate condition
what kind of food do you think these
men were carrying with them?
Nothing but a hardtack biscuit and a
piece of salt meat each.
"Tbe idea of feeding sick men on
such stuff is prima facie evidence of
something wrong, - but for typhoid
patients to be fed on such truck is
little less than murderous. These men
. told me that this was all they had had
for several days.
"These same men had been lying in
a hospital tent in which stood several
feet of water. The tongues of th ty
phoid patients were so parched and
cracked that they looked like alligator
skin. They had had absolutely no
proper medical attention, and in fact
were reduced to such a condition that
we fully expected many of them to die.
I heard of only one medicine in use
in camp, and that tu pills of camphor
and opium. These pills were supposed
tobegood for all diseases from cramps
to fever and back again." N. .Y.
