Savannah, Ga., Oct. 4.—For 15 hours, from 3 o'clock this morning until 6 o’clock tonight, Savannah has been in the grasp ol a West Indian tor nado. During the day tlie wind blew steadily from 60 to 70 miles an hour. While the city escaped with compar atively little damage, the loss of prop erty among the sea islands of the Geor gia and South Carolina coasts is be lieved to be heavy. For miles in every direction around Savannah the towns along the rivers are submerged. Only one fatality has so far been rejiorted—the drowning of a negro while attempting to reach th» land from a small island near Thunder bold—but heavy loss of life is feared, on the South Carolina sea islands, where such fearful loss of life occurred during the great tidal wave of 1893. The conditions now are similar to those during that storm. Owing to the sub merged country and the isolated loca tion of the islands, no news can be had from them until the water subsides. For eight miles north of Savannah the entire country is a lake, with only the hummocks visible. At noon the water was eight feet above the highest tide. Driven on shore by the northeast storm, it filled up on the islands, swept over banks, and dams, carrying away the remnant of the rice crop that was left by the August storm, and had not been gathered, and wiping out farm crops. The loss to ricegrowers alone will be from *50,000 to *75,000. Of the entire rice crop along the Savannah river, valued at *250,000, all but about 15 per cent was lost in this and the pre ceding storm. The damage to shipping is considera ble. The schooner Governor Ames, which was on her way to sea with a cargo of 1,500.000 feet of lumber, went adrift in the harbor, but was secured safely. The whaives at the quarantine sta tion, at the entrance to the river here, were partially carried away. The telephone, police, light and fire alarm wires are down, and the city is in darkness. On Hutchinson’s island, opposite Savannah, anil separating the city from the South Carolina shore, many negro families were rescued by boats from the revenue steamers Tyhee and Bout well. ». H.

London, Oct. 4.—A special dispatch from Shanghai says: The announce ment of the death of the emperor is confirmed. The reports as to the means employed in his taking off differ. One story has it that he died of poison, and another that death was caused by strangulation, while a third states that he was subjected to frightful torture, a re«lhot iron being thrust through bis bowels. Another dispatch from Shanghai says: Telegrams furnished by the tai- tai, or local governor, to a Chinese paper allege that the emperor commit- tejl Buicide September 21, after signing a decree which placed the dowager em press at the head of affairs in China.
