NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 24—It is now thought that the number of people who lost their lives by shipwreck and dis- aster attending the West Indfan hur- ricane which passed up the coast about ten days ago will reach 100. Accounts, in many respects conflicting, continue to come from the Albemarle and Pam- lico Sound region and the coast from Hatteras to Bovds tion the greater number of casualties occurred. As this section of water is the artery for srall craft from the re- gion tributary to Chesapeake Bay and as far north as Philadelphia and south to Georgia the number of vessels tra- rersing these inland seas is always | great. | Masters of craft in from that region state that schoone ungies, sloops and fishing craft wrecked, ashore, broken up, sunk or turned over are to be seen almost hourly in a trip through the sounds and it is thought that the | total drowned will run close to 100, if it does not even reach it. On Swan, Hog and other islands in the vicinity of Portsmouth, Big and Little Kinnaket, Ocracoke and smaller points fully sixty to seventy houses, four or five churches and numerous stores, barns and warehouses were either washed away or damaged beyond repair. As a result numbers are home- less and destitute and many others have lost crops and flocks. Stock and implements and the fishing interests have suffered greatly. - WILL STOP PAYMENT OF CUBAN SOLDIERS Island, in which sec- | CONSUL BEDLOE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED Accused of Having Given a Certifi- cate of American Registry to a Filibuster.

A Saloon-keeper in Idaho Is Fatally Stabbed by a Miner.

The men had quarreled in a gambling game, but it | was thought had settled the difficulty. A few minutes later Larrabee and Long walked out of the tent saloon together apparently in a good humor. Suddenly Long stabbed Larrabee twice, one of the wounds penetrating the kid- neys from the back. Larrabee died Wednesday afternoon.
