Bense ready June 28, 1917-Sept. 14, 1995 Hurricane is fourth to tear into Caribbean in last month CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) Robert Charleston weighed down his boat with extra anchors today to keep it from floating away, as Hurricane, Marilyn surged toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Around him lay boats battered and beached by Hurricane Luis only a week ago.
"I'm tired of this," Charleston, a 52-year-old carpenter, said as he headed home to board up his house against Marilyn, the fourth hurricane to tear through the Caribbean in as 3 many weeks. Marilyn flooded towns, ripped roofs of dozens of homes and rampaged through plantations in the eastern Caribbean on Thursday. At 11 a.m. EDT today, with winds increased to 100 mph and gusts even higher, Marilyn was 70 miles southeast of St. Croix, threatening islands from Nevis west to Puerto Rico.
St. John and St. Thomas were already experiencing sporadic power failures. Puerto Rico and both the British and the U.S. Virgin Islands were under hurricane warnings, and residents were told to beware of flash floods, mud slides and heavy surf.
Up to 10 inches of rain was expected. Some 100 miles east of the Virgin Islands, French officials issued a hurricane watch for St. Barthelemy, and St. Martin, two islands devastated by Luis' 140-mph winds last week. The hurricane was expected to hit the U.S.
Virgin Islands late this afternoon, accompanied by 12-foot waves. Hurricane-force winds extended to 30 miles from the center, with tropical stormforce winds to 115 miles out. Gov. Roy L. Schneider closed airports on the U.S.

U.N. conference for women comes to end in Beijing BEIJING (AP)- Calling it the first step in a journey, organizers ended the world's biggest women's gathering today with pledges to push for change in mud-hut villages and corporate boardrooms alike.
"The real is only now beginning," secretarygeneral Gertrude Mongella told delegates before the closing gavel on the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women. "Let us ensure that we carry the torch forward." On a dais decked with red tulips, officials of the conference hugged one another and brushed away tears. Before adjourning, the 5,000 delegates from 189 countries adopted by consensus their conference platform, which was hotly debated into the predawn hours. Some countries lodged formal objections to various parts of the platform, which is non-binding but meant to serve as a guide governments.
The 150-page platform cuts across a wide cultural and social spectrum, addressing problems women face in traditional societies as well as industrialized nations. It contains hard-hitting sections advocating sexual freedom and denouncing violence against women. Negotiators said they hoped those provisions could be used to fight abuses like trafficking in women, genital mutilation of girls, and even pressure to have sex. Lesbian rights were Medicare Continued from Page 1A tensively on health issues. "But we have created a climate where people are at least willing to listen and consider some changes." House Speaker Newt Gingrich today called the GOP plan "a very responsible, very serious effort to preserve and protect the Medicare system" but conceded the party has a difficult sales job ahead.
"It's so emotional that unless we are very careful and very educational and very straightforward, literally, I think, you could see the whole support for what we're trying to -do crumble," the speaker said today on ABC's "Good Morning America." Asked on the "Fox Morning News" if President Clinton would veto the proposed GOP legislation, White House chief of staff Leon Panetta said it is "not acceptable to this president" based on the details available so far.

"We feel at this point actually quite exhilarated," said Nicola McIntyre of San Francisco.
"We feel the lesbian movement has gotten a shot in the Amid the closing-day pomp, some organizers spoke of fears of a conservative backlash over the conference's outcome. "Many of these issues were so heated and so controversial, there sign of conservative reaction," said Patricia Licuanan of the Philippines, a conference organizer and head of the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. "Some people are getting scared about too much change too fast," she said. Some of the sharpest criticism of the platform came from the Vatican, which said the document's "obsession with reproductive matters" came at the expense of wider concerns.
Vatican delegation chief Mary Ann Glendon also said the church was interpreting all references to sexuality in the document to mean sex within marriage. participants several coverage options and automatically cut doctor and hospital payments if savings targets are not met. Only about two weeks remain before the end of the fiscal year, the customary deadline for changes such as the ones Republicans are proposing in Medicare. GOP leaders are allowing only a few days before pushing the plans out of committee. "This is without question the single most important issue we will face in the 104th Congress," Gephardt said.
The Republican Party has been blanketing the capital with polls that show six in 10 Americans believe Congress should make major changes in Medicare this fall and agree that Medicare will be bankrupt in seven years "unless something is done soon to fix it." One GOP-sponsored poll even found eight in 10 who agreed that Medicare must be preserved "even if it means slowing the growth of Medicare today."
