Tropical hurricane harries Gulf of Mexico destroying
shipping and carrying great tidal waves inland.
Pensacola destroyed and many towns demolished.
Wind injured Atlanta and other places.
[Special Dispaioh to Daily Alaskan]
Louisville, Ky.. Sept. 28? Devasta
tion is everywhere along the gulf coast
and for inland. A terrible tropical
hurricane has harritd the entire
country, carrying great tidal waves in
from the (Julf of Mexico, destroying
shipping and towns and causing the
death Jof many people. Many towns,
including Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian,
Mississippi City, Biloxi, Ocean Springs,
Pascagoula and Scranton are cut off
from all communication with the re
mainder of the world, and their fate is
unknown. At Pensacole, alone, the
damage 'o property will exceed #3,000,
000. A great tidal wave was carried
inland f-om the gulf by the hurricane,
carrying big vessels to points that the
tide was never before Icnown to reach
'There was not a building in the city
that escaped undamaged. It is known
that lives were lost there.
The lines are down in every direction
and it is impossible tu determine the
the full details of t le disaster at any
particul?r point. The wind reached
Atlanta wheremucii damage was ^one
to large buildings.
All southern rail-oads are washed
out and a'l trains are stalled.
It is feared that many of the smaller
towns along the coast were wiped out
entirely
New Orlaanei Dim>( d
New Orleans, Sept. 28- Many of the
streets of this city are floorad by tidal
wives that were carried inland by the
hurricane that came in from the gulf
last night. A great number of build
ings, some of them l?rge ones, were
demolished by the raging winds.
Intervention Expected Today
[Special Dispatch to Daily AlasUan]
Havana, Sep. 28? President Palma
refusrd to reconsider his determination
to resign as president of the republic
and American intervention is expected
today. Secretary Taft will probably
declare himself provisional governor of
the country and assume dictatorial
powers for the time being.
In the event of intervention, which
is expected at any moment, 2500 Ameri
can marines will be landed for the pur
pose of upholding Secretary Taft's
government.
Gen. Funston arrived last night. He
approves of the plans perfected *to land
an army in case of an emergency.
The rural guards today pledged their
allegiance to the United States as a
token of their readiness for American
intervention.
Congress expepts there will be a
quorum at today's meetiug.
GOVERNMENT
REFUSES PEACE
Havana, Sep. 28 ? The Cuban govern
ment refused pointblank, this morning,
the offer of the rebels to restore peace
if the government would consent to a
new election of members of the house
of representatives.
FIRST PAYMENT ON RAINY
HOLLOW IS MADE
The first payment in the purchase
price of the Rainy Hollow copper prop
erties has been put up. This is tes
tified to by the sellers and by M.
Thomson, of London, England, who
represents the purchasers. Work will '
begin at once on the preliminaries and
early In the coming spring the con- !
struction of a railroad from Pyramid |
Harbor to the mines will begin. Thirty
men wilt be worked this winter. They j
will move supplies to the ground and
prepare for the greater activity that
will begin with the opening of the next
season. ?
Mr. Thomson left for Atlin yester
day. He goes to secure permits from
the gold commissioner to ouild a rail
road through the ten miles between
the international bounday line and the
copper properties.
Mr. Thomson says it is the purpose
to push the development work as fast
as men and money can do it.
The company's headquarters will be j
either at Skagway or Juneau. It is '
admitted it will be more convenient to i
make them at Seagway.
The English and Scotch syndicate,
represented by Mr. Thomson, ha9
secured 43 claims in the Rainy Hollow |
country. They include the very best j
properties there, and taelr purchase .
involves about $1,500 000. f he purchase
price will be distributed in several pay
ments. Before the properties shall be
, producing to their full capacity it is esti
mated that $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 will
have been invested.
The railroad from the coast to the
mines will be about 42 miles in length,
and to build that, itself, will be an under
taking of great magnitude.
The Rainy Hollow district was dis
covered for the first time about five
years ago. Since that time a hardy
and pers'steDt crowd of prospector*
have been doing their assessment work
on the 80 or more claims that have
been located. They have been negoti
ating from year to year for capital
with which to develop their property,
and this sale is the result of these ne
gotiations.
The prospectors who have been most
persistent and who have given most of
their time to the Rainy Hollow country
include J. W. Burnham, Richard Ken
nedy, Michael Cassin, Dan Sulligvn
and Dan Creedon. They have had very
little outside assistance, though a few
have advanced money and acquired
interests in their properties. Martin
Conway, of this city, Is the most ex
tensive holder aside from those on the
ground. He and two associates have
.sold their 11 claims for $750,000, Capt.
A E. McDonnell, of toe mouuted police,
and Dr. Fraser, of the same organiza
tion, are interested there, a*d their
interests ?re included tuong those pur
chased by Mr. Thomson and associates.
