The following letter from our Washing

news of BarrOS' death wat confirmed.
We publish it because it throws some
light on what BarPiOS' intentions were
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-"Do you be-
!ieve the reports of the death of Gen. Bar
ri0s?' your correspondent asked of Senior
Batres, the Minister of the republics Of
Guatemala aud Honduras, and a personal
friend of Gen. Barrios, as he sat at the
Arlington yesterday.
NO" he said, with a moments reHec-
ton, Il do not" AS have already said
In interviews the cable from that country
is in the hands of the enemies of Gen.
Barrios, and they will send whatever they
choose. But this is not all. Nobody who
has any right to speak on the subject or
who would be likely to do so if the story
were true has intlmated that it is true.
The representatives of the United States
in that section are bright and intelliGeul
men. well posted as to their duties, aud
if they had information of this
kind they would be sure to notify the
State Department. The Secretary OF State
assured me, however, that he has nothing
from them to Indicate that the report is
true. The son of Gen. Barrios has no in
formation on the subject. Surely if the
report were true he would ID some way be
notified of the{act. have had.uo inlOrma-
tion to confirm it. or to at all Indicate that
it is a fact. L surely would have had
something, representing as | do the re-
public of which Gen. BarriOs was, more
than twelve years, President, If it were
true"
Nv hat would be the result if it were
true? Would it end the attempt to Or
ganiza union of the Central American
republics in one?
mo; | don't think it would. There are
others who would come to the front as lead
ers in support OF the cause. Of course |
don't mean to say that there are others with
as great influence and experience and
ability as Gen. Barrios, for he is remark
able man; but | don't believe that even
the great loss of his death would end the
attempt at a republic"

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 9.-To-night
reports of damage from last nights storm
continue to come in, and the indications are
that it will yet be several days before all the
small towns of the interior will be heard
from. The storm appears to have passed
entirely across the state diagonally from
the northwest to southeast. AT Sparta,
which city appears to have been the great
est sufferer, the storm ragged for over an
hour, during the greater part of which
time the air was filled with falling trees
and flying debris. Although no lives are
reported lost many narrow escapes are
reported from falling buildings. Along
Court street a scene Of deSolatiOn prevails.
Buildings are wrecked on every hand, shade
trees torn from their roots, sidewalks de-
mOraliZed and fences blown down. Several
fine residences and number of those less
pretentiouS are a mass of ruins. Further
than to place it well up in the thousands of
dollars no estimate of the loss at that point
is made. At Plainfield the storm was the
most terrific ever seen. A large number OF
buildings were blown down OF unroofed,
and freight cars were
SMASHED INTO SPLNTERS.

the winds and other property injured. The
loss will aggregate $4,000. In Rock
county buildings suffered to quite an extent,
the principal damage being to tobacco sheds.
About Edgerton more than two hundred to-
bacco sheds were demolished. Houses,
barns and other buildings suffered a like
fate, and considerable live stock was killed.
A new Catholic church, flax mill, resi-
dences and barns We're dOwned at Appleton.
About StoughtOn, the scene of the great to-
bacco warehouse fire of last Sunday,
tobacco sheds, houses and barns were de-
molished and large number of horses and
cattle killed. From scores of small towns
reports of the storms destruction are re-
ceived, but very few estimates of the
actual loss are made. In many places
where the destruction by wind was not Sc
we're great damage was done by lightning.
AT Whitewater, Neenah, Fall River and
Elroy the loss by lightning was particularly
severe. At DeXterville, Wood county, the
loss by wind and lightning will not fall
short of SIS. 900, and at NeiIlsville, twenty
miles northwest, the loss is not quite so
severe. In all sections of the state traversed
by the storm crops have suffered great in

ruins They are in critical condition. At
Nyack, n. Y. An excursion barge with
100 Sunday school children on board had
its roof blown of, and a panic resulted,
which threatened most serious results for a
time. Several persons attempted to iump
overheard. At Waterbury, Vt, there was
a cyclone at 1:30 o'clock, and considerable
damage was done TO houses and trees. A
covered bridge 912 feet long was blown
into Minoosk river. At Baltimore the
temperature was "a degrees, and there was
one sunsroke. AT Wilkesbarre, Pa. there
was a terrific storm, accompanied by thun-
der and lightning. Seven persons were
more or less seriously shocked by lightning,
and in the country crops were damaged by
wind and rain. AT Lowell, Mass, there
was a storm of rain.
WIND AND LIGHTNING.
The lightning ran into the tower in which
the telegraph and telephone wires were
concentrated, setting it on fire and destroy
ing the telephone and telegraph system of
the city for the time being. Some build
mgS were blown down and others struck by
lightning. At New Orleans there was a
storm in the morning, during which house
III course of erection was struck. Two
boys were in it at the time. One was killed
and the other badly stunned. At Scranton
and CarbOndale. Penn, considerable dam
age was done by lightning. A tree was
blown across the track of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Hudson railroad, and pas
Senger train ran into it and was partly
wrecked. No one hurt. A number of
dwellings were struck, and several people
shocked
