TALLAHASSEE , Fla. , Aug. 3. The first
train In since Saturday from Carabclle
through the stormstrlckcn gulf section
reached hero this afternoon , the passengers
having been transferred twice from a flat
car from Carabcllo to a lover car between
Coal Creek and the Ochlochncc river and
then to the relief train for Tallahassee.
The train crew and passengers agree In
stating that reports sent out of the de
struction wrought by the storm have been
extremely moderate. Carabelle Is literally
wiped from the map. Its docks and wharves ,
containing about 400.000 feet of lumber and
50,000 barrels of rosin , were quickly swept
away. Thirteen or fourteen large lumber
vessels In the bay were swept ashore and
are lying well upon dry land. These ves
sels contained several million feet of him-
iber. No Information Is obtainable as to the
loss of life from those vessels or from the
largo flcot of vessels In the neighborhood.
Only two or three huts are left standing In
Carnbello and ono colored woman Is known
to have been killed by the falling of a house.
l\ Citizens of Carabelle arc In a state , of wild
confusion and are flocking In every direc
tion for relief.
The town Is Isolated and the wires are
still down. The towns of Mclntlre and Cur
tis Mill are completely demolished and largo
Interests have been destroyed. The coast
resorts , Teresa and Lanark , are moro seri
ously wrecked than at first reported and
visitors have suffered greaf hardships ,
though no loss of llfo Is reported. Fifteen

Rumors as to loss of llfo among the fisher
men are , yet unconfirmed.
Up to noon today no direct Information
has been received from the coast towns
stricken by Tuesday's storm. There Is no
communication by wire and the only hope of

based on the belief of the ofllclals ot the
Carabelle , Tallahassee & Gulf railroad that
a train will get In today from the coast.
They hope .1 train will reach Tulrahassce
by 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Gangs of men have been working steadily
on the roadbed over since the storm ceased.
Reports of loss of life continue to bo heard ,
but there Is no confirmation. It Is bollevcd ,
however , that loss of life. If any occurred ,
will fall heaviest among the fishermen plying

the steamer Dora arrived at Juncau with
a largo number of sick and Impoverished

"The trail from Vntdes to Copper river , "

"In the early part of July four bodies
were found In the sound at Valdcs. They
had come down the river with the broken
Ice , but wore so badly decomposed that
Identification was Impossible. In Juno last
a man and a woman who had come from
Denver were drowned In the Kakuk while
boating. The body of the woman was re
covered later and $700 In gold taken from
the clothing. The man's body was not

LONDON , Aug. 3. ( Now York World Cablegram -
blogram Special Telegram. ) The Sham
rock has at last set sail on Its long voyage
across the Atlantic. Even at the last mo
ment , however , the start was further de
layed some hours. At the hour agreed upon
anchor -was raised and sail set , but a slight
mishap occurred to the bowsprit and It was j
found necessary to wait till the defect was
remedied. This took some hours , but finally
at C:20 : It got under way.
Hundreds of steamers and craft of all de
scriptions had assembled In the neighbor
hood of the storting point. The shore was
lined by thousands of spectators. The start
was effected amidst a great demonstration
and enthusiasm. Salvo after salvo of cheers
rolTed across the water and the din of
steam whistles and sirens was almost deafen
ing. These dcmontratlons were continued a
considerable time.
As the Shamrock with the Erin In attend
ance stood down the channel previous to
the start Llpton , In bidding the crew fare
well , said they had a difficult task before
them , but the greater the difficulty the
greater the honor. Should they succeed he
would mark his appreciation In a way ac
ceptable to all. Ho was satisfied they would
get as fair treatment In America as at homo
or In any part of the world. He concluded
by saying : "Goodby to Shamrock ; good luck
to all. "
Llpton was Interviewed and said they had
done all possible to produce a perfect boat
and left It now with confidence to the skip
pers and crow. All ho wanted wan a fair
Held and a good race and was certain ho
would got both.
Hogarth said he believed they were taking
across the best boat eyer tried for the cup.
After the strengthening was effected he had
no fear of staving on the passage. Ho was
confident he would at least make a bold bid
for victory. The yachts take the southerly
course and are expected to reach Sandy
Hook before the end of the month. Sham
rock Is Insured In Lloyds for 40,000 at G
per cent per annum.
It Is a coincidence that the last yacht
which left Falrllo for Amerloi and was un-
hoaton was the Minerva , then sailed by
Charles Barr.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 3. The yellow fever
situation at Hampton continues favorable
and encouraging In the reports to the Marino
Hospital service. According to otllclal re
ports there has been no spread of the con
tagion since yesterday , nor has any of the
cases now under treatment proved fatal
since that time. It Is hoped to confine the
disease to the Soldiers' homo and Phoebus ,
but Surgeon General Wyman thinks It too
early to make a definite prophecy regardIng -
Ing the outbreak , as It Is only four or five
days since the presence of the fever became -
came known to the ofllclals here. Tonight
at 830 ; o'clock Dr. Wyman received the fol
lowing telegram from Dr. Vlckery , stationed
at the Soldiers' home :
"Situation favorable and encouraging. No
new cases and no deaths. "
Dr. Wyman received from the homo n list
of the members of the Institution who were
furloughed on and after July ! ! 2 , the day
after a number of the Inmates became sick
with the fever. Accompanying the names
were the exact dates and time * of the fur
loughs and the destination of those to whom
they were granted. The surgeon general
gave this Information to the press and asks
that newspapers In places to which the sol
diers have gone publish It and that medical
officers hold under strict observation for a
period of at least ten days after they left the
homo such of the inmates as they bo able to
find. Most ot the Inmates were furloughed
for the summer and have gone to northern
cities.
Surgeon Pcttus wired from Fort Monroe
tonight that there Is nothing now today and
that a good patrol is being maintained.
Acting Assistant Surgeon P. St. L. McClure -
Cluro will bo on duty at Durncy island. Ho
will go there tonight with persons held In

j were sent over today. Dr. John Archlnard
of Now Orleans will reach'Washington In
a few days for duly that may bo assigned
to him.
Ilcgardlng rumors said to prevail In New
port News that government experts had
pronounced the disease not to bo yellow
fever , Dr. Wyman and General Stornberg
each said tonight that no such Information
had ibecn sent to either of them and that
no reason was known for questioning that
the disease was yellow fever.
UrlKliutl Patent In Trnccil.
The marine hospital ofllclals at Hamp
ton faavo succeeded In tracing and
locating the former Inmate of the
Soldiers' home who IB believed to have
brought yellow fovcr to that place. His
name is William Thomas. He arrived at the
home on a transport from Santiago , where
ho had been visiting between July 2 and 5
last. Ho was admitted to the homo as a
veteran and shortly after developed chlrls
and fever. In the light of subsequent events
the experts believe there Is little doubt that
hoSvas affected with < a mild case of yellow
fever , although It was not diagnosed as such
nt the time. When' well enough to travel ho
left the homo and his baggage was s.cnt to
Phoebus. The man himself went to Columbus

WASHINGTON , Aug. 3. Regarding the
probable duration of the present epidemic
Dr. Wyman said today :
"It Is too early yet to make predictions
as to the suppression of the outbreak , only
four days having elapsed since the dis
covery of the fever. The fact Uiat Thomas ,
tbo original suspect , has gone north takes
conslderabfe weight off our minds , as he
Is now in a latitude where there IB no
chance of yellow fever doing any great dam
age.
age."Our
"Our past experience In the south has
shown , however , that yellow fever can be
suppressed and confined to the original focus
of infection when the precautions are taken
early enough In the outbreak. This was
shown at Brunswick , Ga.t In 1894. It was
also true at the outbreaks at McIIenry ,
Miss. , and Franklin , La. In tba two latter
epidemics there were other outbreaks In
Mississippi and Ixiulslana about the same
time , but there Is good reason to believe
the Infection was carried before the quaran
tine was put In force. We believe that the
quarantine precautions as now enforced In
the south are effective. Where the fovcr
has spread through the lines It has been due
to tardy Information , Thin shows the ne
cessity of prompt reports In all suspicious
cases. "
It wa finally decided Ibis afternoon that

was reached. A curious coincidence Is that
just ctio year ago today when the Nebraska
'boys returned from their Ural baptlam of
llro In the 1'hlllpplnes they found the I'enn-
sylvanlans had policed their camp. So today
the Ncbrankans were only too glad to repay
the debt by giving the I'cnnsylvanlana their

dinner cheers were exchanged , after which
the PemiHylvanlans went Into camp on th
Nobraskans' left.
Arinncliitcd I'rcftn Story ,
SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 3. At 0 o'clock
this morning the Pennsylvania troops disem
barked from the transport Senator and com
menced the march to the Pronldlo reserva
tion , whore the soldlors will go into camp ,
preparatory to mustering out.
The reception accorded the soldiers from
the Keystone state was similar to that given
the Oregon , Nebraska and Utah boys who
had preceded them home. Thousands upon
thousands of people lined the streets through
which the boys were to pass. The usual
medley of steam whistles , cannon and fire
works accompanied thorn all through the
business section of the city.
Lower Market street -was packed with
people and as the parade ammg Into that
thoroughfare a mighty cheer went up and
was carried all the way up the street and
repeated. Flags waved constantly as the
sordlers marched between the lines of
spectators , and It seemed as if every plcco of
bunting and every flag In the city had been
brought Into service.
From hotel windows and business housfls
streamers of bunting were thrown to the
brcczo and in some places airings of cow
bells had been suspended from windows to
add to the din.
Sword Draped in Crnpe.
Three heavy batteries , one. light battery
and 'tho ' regimental band of the Third
artillery came flrst In the parade , followed
by the Nebraska regiment , and then came the
Pcnnsylvanlans , led by Lieutenant Colonel
Barnctt. Colonel Barnett's sword , draped In
crepe , out of respect to the mc.raory of
Colonel Hawkins , commander of the regi
ment , who died at sea cnroutc home , caused
a hush to fan on the multitudes.
The Pennsylvanlans were a sturdy lot and
presented even a bettor appearance , from a
health standpoint , than did the Nebraska
boys and these from Utah , but they ascribe
tbis to the tonlu effects of the sea air on
the- voyage and to the fact that they were
off the lighting line for so mo time- before
departure from the Islands. Today they were
attired in blue uniforms and carried their
blankets and rifles and their spick and span
appearance commanded great attention.
" The soldiers accepted the attentions
showered upon them modestly , plodding
along with oven step and only occasionally
looking to the right or loft. The expressions
of gratification which their sunburned facca
fooro and an occasional cheer were the only
signs they permitted themselves to show
that they appreciated the demonstrations of
a grateful people. The plaudits of an ad
miring people could not dissipate tbo disci
pline of a year's service In Undo Sam's
army and the loss of their commander hung
heavily upon them.
CliccrN for the Ilntllcflnir.
The battlcflag of the Pcnnsylvanlans , torn ,
shot-riddled and almost a wreck of Its
former beauty excited more admiration than
did anything else. As soon us the color
bearer came Into sight carrying the dingy
and frayed piece of silk a cheer mightier , If
possible , than any which had been given the
boys rang out and rcvorhatcd along the
throngs which had gathered to welcome thu
soldiers.
The ambulances of the Pennsylvania
brought up the rear of the regiment , bearing
the sick and wounded. Following the I'enn-
nylvanlans came Battery C of tbo Third
artillery from the PresiJIo.
The parade was reviewed on Van Nosi
