The only loss of life so far reported was in the sinking in the Gulf of Mexico of the small steamer Pilot Boy, plylng between Galveston and Corpus Christi. The vessel carried a crew of thir- teen, only three of whom have as vet been reported saved. These three were washed ashore alive at Port Ar- Tex. The last telegraph wire into Corpus | Christi failed at 2:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon and the last telephone line went out shortly before T o’clock last night. ILast reports from Corpus Christi placed the velocity of the wind at seventy miles an hour and it was stated the storm was ex- pected to increase in intensity until midnight when the crest would be reached. Nothing later has been hearad. The storm had abated somewhat at Brownsville at 11 o'clock last night, according to wireless reports to army headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, the only means of communicating with that city.

Other Towns Isolated. Other important places isolated by the hurricane included Kings The roof of a hotel was blown off and a motion picture theater de- stroyed at Fort O'Connor, but the in- habitants had ample warning and reached places of safety before the storm struck.

Mr. Lansing made this statement after being questioned at some length by members of the committee as to why the three little islands were so valuable to the United States that this government should pay $25,000,000 in | cash, approve concessions, and under- take an annual cost of maintenance. His one answer was that their stra- tegic location made it desirable that they should not fall into the possession | of any foreign country.
