SAME - NUMBER ESCAPE DISASTER MANAGE TO REACH THE SHORE AFTER A TERRIBLE EXPERI- ENCE IN FIERCE GALE. Bayfield, Wis., Sept. 5—Eleven of the crew of the steamer Sevona were drowned by the wreck of the vessel on Sand Island reef on Lake Superior Tate Friday night. Eleven others were rescued, Including the remainder -of the crew and four women. Seven of , the dead offered their lives as a sac- I board the ill fated ship. Of those for whom they gave their lives four are {dead. The rest reached shore after a night of buffeting by the waves in an open boat-and a trip of more than ; twenty-four hours, cutting a read through the wilderness of Northern ‘Wisconsin. The Sevona, a big ten-hatch vessel, ‘was bound from Allouez to Erie with ore. Friday the steamer ran into the teeth of a northeaster. Captain Mc- Douald tried to make headway against the heavy sea, but the storm became too heavy and he tuined and ran for shelter, stri<ing on the reefs near Sand island. When the vessel struck a‘great hol¢ was torn in the bow and haif an hour later the ill-fated steam- er. broke in two. When the¢ shock came the captain found that there was no chance for all to try and reach shore and called for volunteers to stay- on the ship. More than half of the crew volun- teered to stay aboard while the rest tried to reach shore and call for help for those who were to remain on the wreck. Finally the captain, the: two mates and four sailors were Selected to Risk Their Lives for the safety of.the rest. Engineer Phillippi was one of the volunteers, but Cantain McDonald refused. to als low him to remain on board, ordering Him to take command of the ship’s boat which was to take the women ashore. The storm had battered the third boat to pieces, but a small boat large < enough to carry- -four took another party. The boat with the women tried to make Sand island, but was swept past. All night the men in the hoat fought with the elements in the effort to reach shore, which was only five miles away, but the wind was carry- ing the craft parallel with the beach and it was daylight before the boat was washed up high on shore. Here they found a homesteader, who led them to two farms two miles in the interior. While the rest of the party was cared for at the farms the engi- neer and one of the farmers set out with a team for Bayfield. Most of the way it was literally necessary to cut a road through the woods. It took until 4 o’¢lock in the afternoon to reach Bayfield, twenty miles across' the peninsula, Upon reaching Bayfield the fishing tug Harrow of the Booth line started out for the scene of the wreck with a party of fifteen men, headed by Engi- neer Phillippi. The trip took two bouts in the teeth of the northeaster. ‘When the tug reached the scene of |the wreck of the Sevona only a few spars and the after 100 feet of the craft was left. There was no trace of the captain and his party. No trace | was found of-the four in the small boat and they are undoubtedly lost. Duluth, Sept. 5—A telegram re- ceived here reports that a tug found Captain McDonald of the Sevona on | his vessel with the remainder of the (erew and.all" were rescued. MUCH ANXIETY FELT. Fully Fifty Steamers Overdue at the Soo Canal. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept. 5.— As a result of the terrific storm which has prevailed over Lake Superior for thirty-six hours only two steamers have arrived here in that time and there is great anxiety among vessel- { men for the safety of the fifty or more craft which are on the lake. The steamer R» L. Ireland arrived with her forward deck lowered five inches by | water she had shipped. Mate Smith was washed overboard and drowned.

ARMENIANS FIGHT TROOPS FIFTY PERSONS KILLED AND A LARGE NUMBER WOUNDED * AT BAKU, CAUCASIA. St. Petersburg, Sept. 5.—Dbispatches received by the ministry of the” inte- rior estimate that fifty persons were killed ‘during the fighting between troops and Armenians at Baku, Cau- casia, Sept.” 2, with a relatively large number of wounded, the majority of whom are Tartars. No official account of the event has been: received, but private dispatches report that corpses are lying about the streets and that incendiary fires have already de- stroyed 150 buildings and more are in progress. The Armenians, after the former disorders, supplied themselves fully” with arms and they are now al- most as well equipped for street fight- ing as the troops. The situation not only at Baku but also throughout the Caucasus has been exceedingly tense for ‘weeks, The: disorders at Shusha Lad just ceased when the street car rtrike at Baku furnished the occasion for another outbreak.

L, Sept. 5.—Robert Bacon of New York has been appoint- ed assistant secretary of state in sucs cession to Francis B. Loomis, resigned. President Roosevelt authorized the official announcement of Mr. Bacon's appointment. The appointment of Mr. Bacon was agreed on almost imme- diately after Elihu, Root had accepted the office of secretary- of ‘state, but was not announced.

"Presi- dent Roosevelt has known Mr. Bacon for many years and came particularly. into contact with him- at the time of the settlement of the anthracite coal strike.

Duluth, Sept. 5—The steel steamer North Wind, Captain Thomas Steven- son, of the Mutual Transit company, -|met with a serious disaster after hav- ing ridden out the gale on Lake Supe- rior just as she was entering the Du- luth ship canal and was only a few -hundred feet from safety.

Fever Conditions at New Or- _ leans Improving. * New Orleans, Sept. 5.—The new cases of yellow fever in New Orleans up to noon—fifteen—did not show any marked - increase over the previous day, but the deaths—four—are greater in number than for all of the previous day. The weather is unsettled, with showers predicted. Conditions outside of New Orleans are about unchanged. Further inyestigation of the case of Dr, ‘Philip Berge, the first physician to be arrested for failure to report yellow fever cases, develops the fact that the doctor was to a certain ex- tent the victim of his own’ mistake. It cost him fourteen. hours in a prison cell, - Instead of telephoning to Dr. ‘White's ofiice he got connection with the Emerzency hospital” and reported the cases there. Medical Assistant Lanaux, at he hospital, has made an official statement to that effect and as it is evident Dr. Berge had no inten- tion of hiding his cases there will probab’y be no: further proceedings in the mctter. His arrest, however, will have a good effect. Postoffice Clerks in Session.

In New Berlin one large house occu- ried by Mrs. J. M. Deming was washed down through the main street and carried .away. = The woman |has not been rescued and it is supposed that she has becn drowned. Three barns containing borses and otherstock, a blacksmith shop, carriage shops and two small houses also were, washed down the main street. - The people who' had. gone to the Presbyterian church to- attend services were im- prisoned in church during the night with the pastor and could not be res- cued until daylight, when they were taken out on a raft. Cellars in all the business places are filled with water and the damage to the business part of the village is very large. It is sald that there s no prospect of the rajlroads being open for several days and the highways are so badly dam- aged as to be impassable. , | A large part of the village of Ed- meston was torn up by the floods and the damage will amount to thousands of dollars.

INFECTED AREAS SLOWLY WIDENING NEW CASES REPORTED IN MANY LOCALITIES OUTSIDE ORIG- INAL BOUNDARIES. Berlin, Sept. 5.—It is officially bul- letined that sixty-six cholera cases and twenty-three deaths have occurred _ in Prussia. Of this number:ten new cases and three deaths were reported during the day. ‘While anxiety is not yet the word to describe-the feeling in the imperial health office concern over the cholera situation dces begin to-exist. Most of the new cases do not break out among the quarantined persons, but are suddenly heard of in detached farmhouses or villages not contiguous to the Vistula. Hence the inference is that the infected areas are widen- ing slowly and that the measures to hold the disease strictly within the existing boundaries have not been fully successful. These measures, however, are being sharply increased. Orders were issued during the day to close all the refreshment housés along the Vistula except those located in towns. - These small'restaurants and bars are frequented by rivermen, who are the most likely to be infected. In anticipation of cholera reaching Berlin the government has begun the erection of two barracks for cholera patients or suspected illness at Koe- penck, on the River Spree, near Ber- 1in, and also established an inspection station for river traffic. NEW CASES NUMEROUS. Cholera Appears in a Number of Ger man. Towns. Marcienerder, West Prussia, Sept. b5.—Five new cases of cholera have been reported, two at Thorn, one each at Grabowka, Mocker and Treiul. All the ‘annual meetings of various soci- eties;” BuCH as agricultural,—veterans and religious bodies, fixed to occur in this” part of Prussia during Septem- ber, have been postponed owing to the outbreak of cholera. Bromberg, Prussia, Sept. 5—The local government has been notified of the following cases” of cholera, one each in Nakel, Stoewen, Czarnineau, Briefendorf, Romanshof and Walke- witz and two in Weissenhoche: Three deaths have occurred in the Bromberg district. . Culm, Prussia, Sept. 5.—Of the nine cholera cases which were first dis- coyered here four deaths have oc- curred. All- the dredgers employed aleng the Vistula are under close ob- servation.
