The four armored cruisers passed the Heads in file formation, led by the flagship West Virginia, flying at her masthead the flag of the commander of the fleet. Rear Admiral James H. Dayton. Five hundred yards to the rear came the Colorado, followed at like distances by the Maryland and the Pennsylvania. The arrival of the four big sister ships crvise. marked the end of a 36,000-milwhich began at Newport, R. I., last September. The squadron was sighted outside the Heads at daybreak, steaming at half speed out of a coast fog. By bringing his ships to anchor off the city front a few minutes before 8 a'clock, Admiral Dayton fullfilled his promise by wireles-- the night before, arrive some time in the early forenoon." Thousands of people, anticipating the event, were gathered along the water front and the hilltops commanding a view of the bay. Oblivious of the fact that they could not be distinguished from the decks, they signalled their welcome to the huge f fighting machines by waving their hats and handkerchiefs; and as fleecy puffs of smoke arose and drifted from the mouths of the saluting guns of the West Virginia, they cheered. Admiral Swinburne put off from his flagship, the cruiser Charleston, as soon as the West Virginia moored. On board the latter vessel, the rails were manned and the band struck up a Swinburne lively air as Admiral stepped onto the quarter deck to greet of the fleet. the commander-in-chie- f The brief formality over, the two admirals shook hands warmly and at once, retired for an official conference relative to the departure from this port of the cruisers' California, Charleston and St. Louis for target practice at Magdalena bay. Capt. J. B. Milton, commanding the West Virginia, received a score of newspaper men who had been waiting in launches for an hour to come aboard. At 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, a joint committee of about 100 men prominent in political, business and social life of San Francisco and nearby-cities, boarded the West Virginia to greet and welcome Admiral Dayton and the officers of the fleet. United State's Senator Perkins made a brief formal address of welcome.

C Advices of a ter rible disaster due to the great floods reprevailing in Japan have been ceived. The overflow of the river Otonashigawa, running through the town of Fukuchiyama, near Kyoto, caused the loss of more than COO lives. In this river the water rose more than fifty feet (50 shaku) and swept over the whole town of Fukuchiyama, drowning over 600 inhabitants and sweeping awiy a large number of the frail bamboo and thatch houses of the Japanese townspeople. The barracks of the Twentieth regiment and Tenth engineers battalion, situated on heights near the town, escaped damage, when the town was overwhelmed, and the troops were hurried out to render what assistance could be given to the survivors and to rescue drowning people. The population of the town was over 12,000 people. Hurriedly fifty or more sailing junks were secured and despatcnea to" the scene, being sailed over what was formerly a thickly settled town, soldiers manning the jnnks, saving large numbers. The police have recovered 600 bodies and others are believed to have been lost. The water subsided next morning, August 27th, and great damage was of the town was revealed. One-hal- f entirely swept away and the remainder had large numbers of collapsed buildings. The whole town was practically destroyed, the scene being ter rible beyond comparison. General Ku roki and Governor Omorl of Kyoto Fu were in the city, the former being en gaged in inspecting the troops, and is said to have narrowly escaped the danger. CHARGED WITH CUTTING RATES. Indictments Against the Southern Pa cific and Pacific Mail. federal San Francisco, Cal. Tho grand jury has returned five indictments of 124 counts against the Southern Pacific company and the Pacific Mail Steamship company, charging violations of the interstate commerce law. These indictments, if followed by convictions, are sufficient to render the corporations liable to fines aggregating $124,000 to $2,480,000, the minimum fines prescribed by law on each count being $1,000 and the maximum fine $20,000. The defendant corporations are accused of secretly cutting to $1 the published rate of $1.25 on through from Kobe, shipments of matting Japan, to San Francisco, and thence throughout the United States. FERRY BOAT CAPSIZED. One White Boy and Thirten Negroes Are Drowned. Mobile, Ala. A ferry boat crossing the Tombigbee river at the government works at, McGrew shoals near Jackson, Ala., capsized, drowning one white boy and thirteen negroes. The boy was Leslie Vernuille, 16 years of age, residing in Oaksdale. a suburb of this city. The scene of the accident has long been regarded as a very dangerous place by navigators of the river, on account of the rapid and treacherous current and the rocky shoals there.

Wholesale pastry companies announce that the price of pie and other pastry will be raised in a few days, owing to the increased cost nf material. A special meeting of the Bakery Employers' association will be held to decide definitely on the increase. It is proposed to increase the price of the 6 and pies by one cent each. The pies will not be affected. The reason given is that flour and fruits costs more than they did three months ago. 3, Great Britain Objects. Johns. N. F. An imperial rescript forbidding the service by any ?olonial authority of any legal process regarding fishery rights aboard any American vessel and suspending all :olonial statutes authorizing colonial officers to seize American vessels for alleged fishery offenses, was proclaimed here on Wednesday.
