The next day fifty-six bodies were re covered afa considerable distance from the volcano, and the most recent despatches to Hong Kong up to July 8 say that not less than 600 were known to be killed. It Is posHible, say the despatches, that the loss of life will reach Into the thou sands.

The Danube Never Known to Be Bo Hlg-h Before A Fart of Vienna Submersed .Bodle Of the Dead Floating la the Streets of Trantenao lUUroads De stroyed Damage Will Be Millions. Bsblih, Germany (By Cable). Tho re ports of the disastrous floods In Prussian Bllesla and Saxony reoelved hort have cre ated great Consternation In Berlin, and show that the people In large sections of those territories are panlo-strloken at the appalling magnitude of the danger which threatens them. The latest advices report 1M persons have been drowned In Bllesla and Bnxony, and that the damage to prop erty exceeded 8.000,000. The King of Baxony, who was at the Plll nits Castle, was obliged to quit the place, the waters having risen sd high that the In undation ot the castle was threatened. Prince Hohenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor, was to have returned to Berlin, but the stop page of railroad traffic by the floods prej vented his making the Journey; The ooftl mines at BoekAUi Bnxony, are flooded with twelve metres of water. The survivors of the floods In devastated villages of Bllesla and Baxony are suffering untold misery. They are entirely destitute of food and shelter. Princess Charlotte ot Kaxe-Meiningen has issued an appeal tor a National subscription for the relief ot the sufferers. Keports from many parts of the eountry give the details of the great damage done by the floods. The valleys of the Elbe and Oder Bivers have suffered terribly. Wash outs have ocourred at many plaoes along the BAxon Railway, and there was a com plete cessation of trafflo on that line. The Danube has overflowed Its banks at every point, doing incalculable damage. The town of Enns. at the lunotldn of the River Enns and the Danube, In Upper Aus tria Is practically submerged. Upward of 200 houses are under water. The bodies of twenty persons were re covered at TrautenaUi Bohemia, the river Aupa having overflowed its banks and In undated A large part ot the town. The hulldlnir ocaunled bv the law courts at Trautenau was undermined and Its walls collapsed. Three boxes oontnlnlng 150.000 florins In money were storedlnthe building and carried away by the flood. The gates closing the entrance t the Donau Canal, which traverses Vienna. Austria, and whioh is really a brauoh of the Danube, are submerged, a thing that lias never occurred before. There ore sev eral feet of water In the lower parts of the olty. The great floodgates whioh held baok Lake Grundlsee gave way and an enormous volume of water rushed into the gorge be low, flooding the town of Aussee. The break occurred at a late hour, and most of the inhabitants of the town were asleep. Many of them had narrow escapes from drowning. Hallstodt Lake, In Upper Austria, has overflowed, carrying a flood to Isohl, a fashionable watering plaoe. The Empress Is at Isohl, and has been much affected by the distress onused by the floods. A house in Marsohenburg, whose founda tions had been undermined, collapsed, and twenty persons were drowned. At Frelhelt a house was oarried away bodily by the flood and seventeen persons perished. The streets of Trautenaa presents fright ful spectacle. Many corpses can be seen floating about the town. A cradle contain ing a crying infant was discovered as it was being carried away, and the child was res cued. Many of the inhabitants of Beiehenberg have lost their lives. The splendid public grojunds at Gmunden have been entirely de stroyed. The destruction of railroad embankments and bridges has been ehormous and unpre cedented. The Western Railway la the worst sufferer. A large number of trains, Including the Orient express, are blocked, and it is impossible to say when trafflo can be resumed. The loss caused by the destruction of mills and houses and the carrying away ol cattle and crops will be immense. Th total damage done will amount to many millions ot dollars. , LAYING SIEGE TO HAVANA. Cuban Bands Rush In and Out of tha City's Suburbs. An attempt made by the Spanish battal ion of Ban Qulntln to dislodge the Cubans from their camps among the hills of Man agua, some three miles from the Havana suburb of La Vlvora, ended In the defeat ot the Bpaslards. The Insurgents, commanded by Juan Delgado, occupied such advan tageous positions that the Spanish Are in fllated only small losses upon them. The Cubans hd only two killed and very few wounded, while the San Qulntln battalion had seventy killed and wounded. When the forces of Ban Qulntln Saw that they could not attain their end they retreated to tbs capital. A military train eomlng to Havana with cattle to provide meM for the capital, and with horses for the Spanish army, was seised by the Insurgents between the sta tions of Agnaoate and Balnoa. The ear were burned, the horses were taken by th Cuban soldiers, and the oattle were aent to the Cuban stores. Within sight of Jarueo, a tew miles from Havana, a Spanish column was defeated by the Insurgents after several hours' fighting. The HpanlardS carried Into the town sixty of their dead and ninety-two wounded, among whom were several officers. One can hardly reallKe that It Is possible for the Cubans to do what they are now do ing near Havana. The insurgents have been able to inflict all this evil upon the Span iards simply because they have received some expeditions from the United States which safely landed in Havana province. Tbey are now well provided with arms and ammunition. Havana, practically, is In a state of siege. - Ughtaing Flays en a Towa.

Pfeffer, the famous ball player, has been appointed a League umpire. Boston was the first club to have the honor of winning fifty games. It is generally conceded that Tenney, of the Bostons, is the League's best first base man. Pitcher Lewis, ot BoBton, carries hfs glove with him all the time, even when batting. Tlernan, Gleason and Joyce are the only New York players who have taken part In pvery game, Collins, the phenomenal Boston third baseman, at present leads the League in three-base hits, Th Pittsburg Club has reloased Lyons, He has fallen off in his batting, and become slow on bis feet. - After pitching ten consecutive winning games for Cincinnati, Breltensteln's col ors were lowered by Boston. Chicago has made the best stand against the strong teams, and has played poor ball against the weak clubs. It is singular, but true, that young pitch ers have given the Cincinnati more trouble this season than the League veterans. Delehanty, of the Fhiladelphias, has the batting record of the season, making four teen hits out ot fifteen times at bat in three Louisville games. - Hoffmeister, Pittsburg's new third base man, Is a "find," from all acoounts. He uses a bat so heavy that his fellow play ers cannot swing It. Infielder fitelLfeldt, of theDetroita, wears a pair of shin guards during play. He in the only man who plays the game who fol lows this precaution. Burkett, of Cleveland, Is near the top of League batsmen. His bad start was a big handicap to him. Nobody, however, Is now likely to beat Delehanty out. Think of "Tony" Mullane having lost but one game for St. Paul this season in so fast a class as tho Western League and he has been pitching eighteen years. Pttoher Nichols, of the Bostons, complains of rheumatism In bis arm, and Manager Seleewlll allow him to rest a bit. If he should be disabled Boston's pennant ohanoes would quickly vanish. In addition to purchasing the release of Donnelly from Pittsburg, the New York club has secured Wllmot, formerly of the Chicago outfield, and lately in charge of the Minneapolis team of the Western League. Keeler. ot the Baltimore, Is not a hard hitter, but rather a sure hitter as sure as one often finds them. A large percentage of his hits never go outside of the diamond. His sprinting abilities from the home plate to first base are unexcelled, and It takes the quickest kind of fielding to get a slowly nit ball to that bag before him, He is an ex port bunter. . ' John Alexander M'Phee, undisputed king of second basemen, now that rteffer has re tired, was on July 34 made the recipient of a cosh testimonial from Cincinnati base ball patrons in recognition of an Interrupted service ot sixteen years with the Cincinnati Club, whioh netted fully 360S. After a street parade, in which McFhee and Mayor Tafel appeared In a carriage, a game was played at league park, petween tne news paper boys and merchants, which MoPhee umpired. Fully 8500 people were present. There were two bands of music, police anus, singing by the wecxey upera Jom. r.anv and acrobatio nerformanoes.

Woman In the KasU An oW Arab proverb deelnrea, "The btut son-in-law Is tho Brave." You can not Insult a Moslem more than to ask after the health of his wife. If a woman is so much as mentioned In conversation, even though she may be the speaker's own wife, politeness requires one to add the words, "May God elevate you" that Is, above the contamination of such a subject The SAme expression is used after the men tion of a dog, a donkey, a pig, or a shoe, all of which ftte held vile and unclean.. Nor Is this feeling confined to Moham medans. Doctor Je-up tells how a Greek Christian In Tripoli came apply ing for help to an American physician. Bald he: "There Is a woman here who Is ill. I beg your pardon for mentioning so vile aubject to your excellency." "Who may it be?" Inquired the doc tor. "May God elevate you, it is my wife." Dr. Jeesup also tells of overhearing the following conversation between a Mohammedan and Doctor Van Dyck: "Tour excellency must be aware that I bave a sick man at my house. May God grant you health! lie has pain In his back, headache, and he 'will not eat" "Has he any fever V "A little." "I will come and see her this after noon, perhaps." "May Gcd lnr-rens" your goods."
