Sammy Dilver and the Great September Gale Elm
In a tale from old New England, Sammy Dilver survives a massive September gale that tears down his elm tree and greens his firewood stock. Maria, his wife, warns of danger, but Sammy’s bravado falters as winds and falling debris test their home. The storm scatters oak and roof fragments, ending with a shouted plea for kindling.

War Department relief plan for Cuba details labor and funds
Washington reports deny widespread panic over new War Department order to move customs funds to Havana. Officials say funds from all Cuban ports will be used for relief and public works, with weekly reports to the island collector and wage work for able-bodied Cubans, excluding Spain loyalists. The plan aims to relieve distress equitably, support sanitary projects, roads, and municipal works, while weighing payment of Cuban army.
