WORST STORM IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Tropical Hurricane Loses Little of its Violence on Arriving in Temperate Waters. Thirty Five Shipwrecked Sea men Tell of its Horrors. Norfolk, Va., August 22.—Another chapter in the history of the horrors of the sen whs a,Med by the recent hurri cane which dealt death and destruction in Porto Rico and apparently lost none of its fury by reason of its visit to the Atlantic Coast. No such damaging re sult has attended a storm in tin? past quarter of century, and the stretch of beach from Kinnakeet to Hatteras, N. C., a distance of about eighteen miles hears evidence of the fury of the gale in the shape of spars, masts and general wreckage of five schooners while now and again a body washes ashore to lend solemnity to the scene. The storm was long in reaching Norfolk, hut it lost none of its dramatic interest by reason of the delay. Waves mountain high, seas which by reason of their power carried everything before them, winds which blew unceasingly day and night at a ».Vitale velocity were the causes of the disasters and that not more lives were j lost is considered by many survivors nothing less than a miracle. Thirty-five shipwrecked seamen who had nothing in the world hut the few tattered ami torn clothes on their back’s, some injured, ail miserable, arrived here today from Iliatteras, N. C., byway of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad from Elizabeth City. It Is from them that the fearful story was learned. They report no loss than eleven vessels ashore on the coast hetwen Ilatteras aud New River Inlet, and estimate that no lees than thirty lives were lost. Among those who arrived today are ten of the erew of the bark entitle Pris cilla, Captain Benjamin R. Springstein, of Baltimore, which vessel lies broken in three pieces on Gull Shoals, eighteen miles north of Cape Ilatteras. There were four fatalities shortly after the Priscilla went ashore, the captain’s wif > being washed overboard and drowned within ton minutes from the time* the Mirk struck. The others who 10-d their lives were the captain’s two sons, aged 24 aud 12 years, respectively. Golden borough, connected in the Lee family and a relative of one of the vessel’s owners. C. Morton Stewart A Company. The older of tin- Springstein hoys was first mate of the Priscilla, die and the Goldenhorough lad were washed over lxoard. His brother was drowned in the <-aln'n. Alexander Von Rest or ff, one of the crew, was caught in the cabin and while holding on to a window to prevent being drowned, a heavy sea came, which resulted in tin* dislocation of his arm. Seeing that death was certain if he re mained longer in the cabin, Vom Rostorff leaped through the cabin window ami landed on dock. He was attended to to day at the office of the Marine Hospital Surgeon; in the Norfolk custom house. Captain. Springsteiu escaped from the wreck with the remainder of his crew, hut he is still at Ilatteras, suffering from a wound in his breast, which is said to he three inches in depth. Tiie captain is fifty-four years of age. The Priscilla lett Baltimore for Rio Janeiro, Brazil, on Saturday, the 12th instant, with a general cargo. She passed out the Capes cum Monday, the 14th, and it was 0 p. tn. Thursday when she struck. All of the vessel’s crew were injured more or less.

Washington, August 22.—A cable dis patch has been received at the War De partment from General Davis giving ad ditional details of the conditions in Porto Rico, lie places the number of killed at 1,000 and reiterates his state ment of 100,000 destitute. General Davis says: •‘Rations from Nuevitas may Ire un loaded in quarantine, but It seems to me supply can easier come from States, the fear of yellow fever from Cuba making extra precautions necessary. Press reports that Porto Ricans re fusal to discharge relief supplies with out double pay are untrue. McPherson arrived Saturday afternoon and unload ing proceeding Sunday morning. Dock hands refused work without customary Sunday pay. Soldiers Porto Rican bat talion volunteered to take their place, but longshoremen returned to work when they learned the nature of supplies on board and unloading was completed by them. Some refused any pay what ever. Their original strike was due to misapprehension. “Cargo on McPherson has been for warded to distributing, centers, and part was issued yesterday evening. In a few limited areas the coffee is half safe, remaining areas, the crop is al most totally ruined and the trees so injured that next year’s crop will not ex ceedl fifty per cent average. Bananas furnished one-half the food and sweet potatoes, beans, rice, corn ami yams all of which are grown here, supplied the other half to fifty ]ser cent of the inhabitants. All the bananas, rice ami corn are destroyed and half the potatoes. I now estimate over 1,000 dead and one hundred thousand hungry, one-half of those being homeless. Hunger will In crease rather than diminish for many weeks.” PASSING OF TOM REED HIS RESIGNATION AS CONGRESSMAN RECEIVED.

COME TO BLOWS IN THE STREET W. S. Thomson’s Denunciation of Har.y Atkinson Leads to a Fight. Atlanta, On., Aug. 22. —Harry M.

Thomson, came to blows on the street here this evening as a result of Mr. Thomson’s denuuebuion of the Boston man in tin* council yes terday. The encounter took place l our Alabama street near the Constitution building. No very serious damage was done, due perhaps to the quick interfer ence of passers-by ami friends of the combatants. Only a few blows vveie struck, and these were landed by Mr. Atkinson on Colonel Thomson's face. Colonel Thomson says Mr. Atkinson struck him Ik*fore be (Thomson) knew the latter was near him. Colonel Thom son was knocked to the ground by the first blow, and his face is badly bruised.

OTIS DICTATES THE DISPATCHES Declares Newspapers are not Public Institutions. THERE ON SUFFERANCE SO HE ASSERTS OF THE PRESS COR RES PON DEN TS. UNCENSORED DISPATCH VIA HONG Ko\'G fighting Spirit of Filipinos Still Rampant. Tha Censor Magnifies Our Operations and Belittles Those of the Fntmy. Manila, Aug. 19, via Ilong Kong, Aug. 22. —The Filipino rebels appear to retain much more fighting spirit than might be expected after their recent. Situ Fernando experiences and General Lawton’s drub bings in the South. After giving up San Fernando with a feeble struggle, they entrenched them selves at Angeles, working for several days and impressing non-combatants into the work, thus saving the armed men for the lighting. They engaged Lieutenant Colonel Smith’s regiment and, the artillery warmly for four hours, making one of the most stubborn ’resist ances of the campaign. But, the Ameri cans aiv indebted to the usual poor marksmanship of the Filipinos, as well as to their own strategy for their small loss. In the Province of Cavite, where it was supposed the rebels had been scat tered and demoralized beyond recupera tion, they have assembled an army of several thousand men distributed among the import out towns from the lake to the bay. After the San Foma into engage ment the rebels attempted to deter the Americans from a further advance north ward by menacing the railroad eonmnmi cations. Several hundred of General Pio Del Piliar’s men. crossed the Rio Grande between the American out poet towns and threatened Baliuag, tjuingua and other places with small American garri sons, while during Sunday and Monday nights, smaller bands tried to tear up the «railroad tracks at several points be tween Bigaa and Malolos. Reinforce ments of American troops were sent along the railroad from Manila to San Fernando, while the forces at Baliuag and Qiiingua sallied out against General Pio Del Pilar’s men, and the rebels were easily driven away. In brushes between these Filipinos and the Americans during three days, the Americans lost several men, while the Filipinos’ loss was heavy. Os those operations the Associated Press correspondent was permitted to send only an inadequate dispatch, dic tated verbatim by Major General Otis. The censor wrote stereotyped official phrases and adjectives into the dis patches, tending to magnify the Ameri can operations and to minimize the op position. General Otis says newspapers are not public institutions, but private enterprises taml the correspondents are only here on sufferance. All reports from the rebel territory agree that the scarcity of food is in creasing, and that the rebel commanders at Aparri aud other points refuse to obey Aguinaldo’s order in regard to closing the port s held by the rebels against American ships, and say that any ship bringing stores will bis welcomed. Sev eral ships from Manila are now at such ports. Hundreds of people come into Manila daily and return to the rebel lines with food and other commodities. The guards stationed along one road re ported that five thousand persons passed through the lines in three days, and that forty-five tons of rice was curried out in small parcels, on the same road in ten days. Much of this undoubtedly goes to aid the rebels, but the authori ties permit this traffic from motives of charity towards the women and chil dren, who are undoubtedly suffering.. General MacAnthur is establishing municipal governments in the villages north of Manila. The mayor of Baliuag, the first town where General Lawton established the same rule, who was supposed to be one of the most friendly and trustworthy of the natives, has been placed in jail charged with arranging with the rebels for an attack on the town. The American troops have been with drawn from all that part of the country which was half cleared of rebels in the expeditou of the Americans in June hist. The rebels have returned to Han Mateo, which was abandoned for the third time after its recent capture. It is alleged that more than half the Howitzer ammunition during the fifiiß at Angeles, was defective and failed to explode. RECRUITTN (J OFF bCERS.

DREYFUS’ FACE LIGHTS UP LA BOR I CROSSES SAVORDS WITH GENERAL MERIT Ell. QUESTION OF AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT Mercitr Refuses to Exp'ain How it Cams into his Possession and Labori Threatens BHim With the Law. Labort’s Splendid De r ence. Rennes, Aug. 22. —Today was Maitre Libori’s day at the Lycee, where Cap tain Alfred Dreyfus is standing trial on the charge of treason. Labori was the central figure of the scene. Labori did what people had expected. He galvanized the dormant defence into an active, living thing. M. Demange is conciliatory. He lias always seemed to fear to tread on the milittary corn. La bori is a gladiator and always aims to touch his foe to the quick. Ithere be the slightest opening 'in his opponen’s defence and lie thrusts home. Today when M. Dotuange found noth ing to ask a witness. M. Laburi’s quick eye had discovered weak spots and he came forward with searching questions. General * Roget, Billot, Mircier and Iloisdeffre, with the other military wit nesses, gave one another anxious glances and put their heads together to ex change obviously disagreeable impres sions las Labori pl ed the smaller mili tary fry, who occupied the witness stand successively today with disconcerting questions. Isibori cornered General Merrier on the Schneider letter which the Latter had used in evidence, aud which Colonel Schneider had repudiated as a forgery. The general was suiprised when Labori suddenly demanded that Merrier be re called. Evidently he hoped the tribunal would support him in refusing to explain how he got a copy of a letter which was of Later date than his incumbency at the Ministry of War. But Labori was not to be denied. He insisted that Merrier should give some explanation. Them after hesitating. Mer rier declared that he would assume all the responsibility attaching to his pos scssioiif. of the document. This, as Li bori intended it should be, was a demon stration of communication by the gen eral staff of part at least of the secret dossier to an ordinary soldier, stub as Merrier became immediately on it aving •the Ministry of War. Wheu Laoori had attained his object and forced a con fession of grave violation of law on ’he part of General Merrier he gave a smile of grim satisfaction and then add ed significantly: ”1 shall have other questions to put to General Merrier. General .Merrier must now he spending a very miserable evening, 'for as the re sult of this admission; .fund with the ad ditional charge ol* eoaunnmieating secret documents to the court martial of lSill, he is liable to arrest at any n+omeot. In deed, some people think it not impossible that he will be lying in the military pri son adjoining the eell of Captain Drey fus before the week is out. Another’ series of questions put by M. Labori concerned Lajoux, a spy formerly in the service of the French War Office, but packed off to South America, ac cording to various military witnesses be cause he proved « swindler. Labori asked how it was. if that were so, that Lajoux was still receiving monthly payments. ■Commandant Roll In, completely taken aback, replied that a cessation ol pay ments was under consideration. The impression conveyed by Labori s questions and the replies given was that Lajoux was being paid by the War Office to keep out of the way in the interests of Esteibazy wlnom La joux in a letter read in court offering revelations in the Dreyfus affair, indi cated as the real traitor. M. Labori gnon uncoil tliiat he intended tp recall several wLtne.sses who ha 1 made diupiositioms during his alrteuce. Thus means that Merrier, Roget and others, will be put to the test of severe er< is s ex ami mat ion. To his friends M. Labori expressed himself confident of being able to tear to pieces the evidence these generals have given so confidently before a sympathetic court martial. "Captain Dreyfus today pursued the at titude he took up yesterday and re plied to the statements of lpetilo wit nesses with arguments and the presen tation of counter facts, only once giving way to his feelings and offering a cry of protest. This was at the conclusion of Colonel Bert in’s deposition, when, with broken voice, the accused dec! a red his love of France and the army. “Yes,” lit* cried. "I love France and I love my army hut it. is with senti ments different from those animating them who come here today to testify against me.” M. Labori, if anything, was better after his exertions than before them. LABORI CORNERS MERCI ER. Rennes, August 22.—Maitre Labori, leading counsel' for the defence who was murderously assaulted August 14th, was present in court this morning at the opening of the Drey Ms trial. The arrival of M. Labori at the Lycee was the signal for scenes of extraordinary enthusiasm. Th«j crowd about, the Lycee building rushed up to his carriage and a num ber of people eagerly thrust their hands through the windows to greet the dis tinguished lawyer. Whom M. Labori defended he was surrounded by friends and a hundred hands pressed! his, while he xvas assailed with till sorts of questions ito which he smilingly replied: “I am going on well, my friends, thank you. Thank you.” As M. Labori, still accompanied by Madame Labori and a physician, entered the audience greeted him by standing and there were a general roar of ap plause, accompanied by the clapping of hands which was distinctly heard in the streets. Tears sprang to the eyes of the wounded man, who was evidently affected by the w arm welcome accorded him. Among those who greeted M. Labori were Generals Billot and Mereler, who courteously inquired as to his condi tion. The lawyer looked very' well, consid ering his recent experience. He walked quite briskly but held his left arm close to his side, in order not to disturb the wound. Counsel was conducted' to a light, well-cushioned arm chair, Instead of the ordinary cane bottom chair, be hind the table set apart for the law yers. Mod ante Labori, who entered the eo’ .t room ahead of her husband, also received a hearty greeting. As she took a seat in court she was surrounded by friends who overwhelmed her with congratulations on her husband’s re covery. to w hich she smilingly respond ed. At first the audience seemed to be apprehensive that Colonel Jouaust. Pres ident of tlse Court, might treat the ap plause of M. I .Abort as a demonstration which would, warrant him. in clearing the court. It began, therefore, with a few timid claps of the hands, but was soon followed by general applause upon the part of the whole audience, with the exception of a few standing at the hack of the court room. As M. Labori shook hands with Gen era [« Billot and Merrier who smilingly congratulated him on being able to re appear in the ease, the lawyer thanked (Continued on Sixth Page.)
