statement for The Herald:
"Yesterday about 5 p. m. the wind
started to blowing about thirty miles
an hour and increased to seventy-five
and was still blowing this morning at
seven o’clock. There was great dam
age done to the new opera house, the
J-utberan church and the Savannah
Grcc ty Co. The top was blown off
the opera house.. A great many of the
beautiful trees fn the park were blown .
down. Several residences had their
tops Mown off. All incoming trains,
were delayed from five to ten hours on
account of the washouts and telegraph
poles across the track. The Chatta
hoochee left the dock yesterday after
noon. There has been nothing heard ,
from her. j

The Shipping.
1 The rossteie of veaselx along the riv

! damage to their craft. Extra line*
were run out and the vessels were ail
securely momed against any sterm

I Chattahoochee, Capt. Lewi*, sailed
; about 5 o'clock and presumably went
|to sea. The steamer Clifton, which
left the city al 8 30, la the morning,
| with the excursion of Beth Eden
church, reached Spanish Well, at Hil
ton Head, and relurned on account of
the stormy weather.

Narrowly Averted.
A serious encounter has been nar
rowly averted between the locked out
* miners and 10# deputy sheriffs guard
ing fifty four Alabama negroes, who
have taken the places of the Ireked nut
men at Rprlngaide mine. The clash
could not have been prevented had
not the national officers of the railed
Mine Worker* of America Interfered
by wiring District president Topham
'to p*sfpone teflon until after this
j morning pending an Investigation of
' th* condition of Rprlngaide mine which
■ la alleged to be In danger of being op
: crated without a boss and registered
engineer.
Ready for Fight.
At the time 4he message wt* re
inforced by several hundred miners
from the outalde mining lowna. were
In secret session In a large gulch be
liveen near the north <nd of the city,
laying plans to march on the depuitles
and negroes and forcibly compelling
the negroes to leave. It was only by
the most persistent pleading and rea
soning by the leaders that the miners
were prevented from marching to the
shaft.
I ooka Dangerous.
The meeting was attended by 1,000
; miners, their only light being that of
the moon, and with guards and pickets
to keep out all save the I’nlted Mine
Workers. It was pointed out that the

i Springfield rifles and Winchester*.
I There were only two Winchesters and
I a few ehotgims in the miners' crowd,

OLDSWINDLE REVIVED.
Englishmen Lose $50,000 by the
“Spanish Prisoner" Fraud.
London. Aug. 31.—The English po
lice have ascertained that the Barce
lona swlnd crs, who for years past have
been running what is known ns thej
"Spanish prisoner” trick, have during
the past six weeks victimized credu
lous Englishman lo the amount of
$50,000.
This Is owing to the fact that the
swincjlcrs gave the air of truth to an
old fdor by setting forth that this nar
t'cular prisoner had burled a vast
amount of gold In Santiago to escape
the rapacity of the cruel Y/nkees.
Money was asked to enable him to re
turn to Cuba and unearth the treasure,
new that peace was restored.
0 1 efforts of the British police In
years past to Induce the Spanish au
thorities to help break up this Impu
dent gang of swindlers have been fruit
less. There is little doubt that the
rogues owe immunity to the fact that
they share their spoils with the local
police.

I Special to The Herald.
I Sail Juan. Aug. 31. -Enthusiastic
| scenes were witnessed when the United
j States warship New Orleans, the first
j American vessel to enter the harbor of
I San Juan since the war with Spain be
gan. yesterday morning, st -anted Into
- port and anchored £enr the English ca
ble steamships.
The arrival of the !<rw Orleans was
rather unexpected, and created consid
erable excitement. The vessel enter'd
the harbor at slow speed, the stars and
strlpea flying from the forepeak, and
sounding lines being constantly In use.
After the New Orleans had dropped an
chor. Commodore Folger came ashore
tn pay his respects to Captain General
Macias. He was met at the wharf by
an Immense crowd.
General Mndas has protested to Gen
eral Miles against allowing persons
