A HURRICANE.
About the Isle OF France, in the In
dian Ocean.
Half the Capital City Destroyed, with
Great Loss of Life--Half of the Crops
of the Island Ruined-Many
Vessels Were Driven Ashore.


LONDON, May 20.-Advices received
here from Mauritius state that n hurri-
cane, unprecedented in it's violence,
passed over that island on April 20,
causing enormous damage to shipping.
A majority of the vessels at the island
were blown ashore. The western half
of Port Louis, the capital, was devas-
tated. Houses were blown down, gil
gantic trees were uprooted, and that
part of the town was about wiped
out of existence The loss of life
was appalling A large number
of persons were caught in the falling
houses and crushed to death, while
others lost their lives by being struck
by flying debris while they were at
tempting to seek places of safety. The
roar of the gale was deafening, and the
people rushed to and fro in aimless con-
fusion, with no idea of what they were
doing. Rain fell in torrents. The
thunder crashed with awe-inspiring
volleys, while the flashes of lightning
were binding. Never before in the
history of the island has such n warning
of the elements been known, and never
before was there such widespread fear
among the inhabitants.
The exact number of dead is not
known. Every effort is being made by
the authorities to alleviate the suffering
that has been caused by the disaster.
The governor has issued orders for
military tents to be distributed to shell
ter the homeless, and food is being
issued to those who have lost everything
by the storm.
Half of the crops of sugar, rice coffee
and pepper have been utterly ruined,
and the loss in this direction is extreme
ly heavy.
1t is not in the power of words to de-
scribe the scene. The lowering skies
and falling barometers gave warning of
the approach of the storm. Taking
warning from previous gales, every
thing possible was done to minimize
the threatened damage, but when at
last the gale burst all the precautions
proved of no avail. The shipping
in the harbor sent down their top
masts, extra anchors were put down,
cables were paid out, and. everything
was made snug below and aloft. Had
it been an ordinary hurricane the ves-
sci might have successfully ridden out
the storm. But so fierce was the storm
that cables parted like packthread, and
the vessel was dashed upon the coral
reefs that are so dangerous to naviga-
tion about the island.

ST. Louis, May 28.-Great alarm is
felt over the potato outlook. The big
American bottom, comprising nearly all
of Madison and st. Louis counties, Ill.,,
is one of the greatest potato fields in
the Mississippi valley. 1t is now com
pletely inundated, and not a potato
will it produce. Its farmers devote
their time principally to raising pota.
toes and cabbages, and had there been
no flood the potato crop would have
commenced moving about July 1, fifteen
days later than usual on account of the
late season. Now there are no potatoes
to move. Every hill of them is now
under from six inches to ten feet OF
water, and every potato will be rotted,
The cabbage crop will also be ruined.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss,

DOWN TO DEATH.
The Warship Solimoes Strikes O
Rock, Going at Full Speed,
And Is Totally Wrecked, All Hut Four OF
Her Crew Drowned-The Vessel FILLED
Before the sailors Were Able to
Ascend to the Upper Deck.

LONDON, May GA dispatch from
Montevideo says that the Brazilian
turret ship Solimoes was wrecked off
Cape Santa Maria, near the mouth Of
the Rio de Ia Plata, while en- route to
Matto-Grosso, and that but five of the
crew were saved, 100 men being
drowned.
The Solimoes was one of the ves-
sells sent by the Brazilian govern
ment with reinforcements to suppress
the rising in the state of Matto-Grosso.
Capt Castrot was among the drowned.
The fotilla had come on ahead of
the Solimoes, and was up the river
awaiting her arrival in order to pro-
coed by way of the Paraguay river TO
the scene of the revolt. At the same
time that the flotilla left Rio, land
force was sent by rail. 1t was to go to
the end of the railroad route and then
march into Matto-Grosso, where, after
being joined by the troops from the
flotilla, the combined forces were to at
tack the capital of the state.
The crew of the ship numbered 1917
men. AS she was fitted out for active
service, it is probable that she did not
carry any small boats. Owing to the
dangerous nature of the low and sandy
Uruguayan sea-coast, she had pilot
aboard. Just as the Solimoes was off
Potonlo island, near Point Negra Cas-
tillos, she struck II rock violently, bows
on The sea was very rough at the
time. All the crew were under matches,
except four sailors and the pilot. Two
of the sailors acted as lookouts, the 9TH
ers were at the wheel.
Through the immense hole made in
her hull the water rushed so fast and
furious that the vessel sank almost i'm
mediately. OF all her crew only the
four sailors who were on deck saved
their lives The pilot also escaped.
One hundred and twenty-three lives
were lost. The unfortunate men did
not even get a chance to gain the deck.
They were drowned like rats in a hole.
AS the water poured in the victims
seemed instantly to realize their danger,
and made frantic but unavailing effort
to dash open the hatchways. Their
cries were heartrending
The Solimoes was two-turreted
monitor, built of iron in England and
launched in 1875. Her displacement
was 3,700 tons.

A BIRD IN HER STOMACH.

Remarkable Development Following the
Death of IA Child-How Did the Bird Get
There?
FALL RIVER, Mass, May 23.-The
local medical profession is much inter-
ested in the following well authenti-
Gated fact, reported by DR.. Casgrain, a
respectable physician of this city Vic
toria Berube, aged six years, died Sat
urday noon, after remaining uncon-
scious for twenty-four hours. She had
been in delicate health for two years.
Wednesday she went from home to
school, and shortly afterward was taken
sick, vomiting black substance. DIR.
Casgrain was called, and found
the patient insensible. He was
unable to rcsuscitate her Two hours
before her death Saturday noon, she
vomited n dark reddish substance,
which on examination was found to
contain a partially formed bird. The
doctor declines to advance any theory,
but will report the facts shortly to the
local medical society. A prominent
physician advances the theory that the
child may have eaten parboiled, half
hatched egg. The beak of the bird
may have become imbedded in the
walls of the stomach. This theory is
strengthened by the fact that symptoms
of gastro-enteritis preceded death.

Veterans Should Have self-Respect.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal.
An old soldier who drifts into the Demo-
cratic party is entitled to commiseration.
The veteran who thinks it a smart thing to
vote for the oleaginous old copperhead
who sent a substitute to do his fighting,
and who has insulted every soldier in the
country by his fippant and Factions We
toes. in preference to one who marched to
the front and faced the "leaden rain and
iron hail" is deserving of our unfeigned
pity. An old soldier who marches about
shouting for an ex-Knight of the Golden
Circle. who sold revolvers to copper
heads with which he was to get q fire
In the rear, in preference to a gallant COM
rade who touched elbows with him in the
thickest of the fight. should receive our
profound sympathy! The poor old veteran
whose mental apparatus is so impaired that
he cannot distinguish the difference be-
tween y gallant and sympathetic soldier
and comrade and a fiabby and insulting old
copperhead should be most gently cared for
BY his friends. In plain English, the
old soldier who deliberately comes
to the conclusion that Cleveland
and Stevenson are better friends
of those who fought TO suppress q Demo-
cratic rebellion than Harrison and Reid,
ought to pray for n revival of patriotism in
his own heart. 1t was n pitlable spectacle
to see old soldiers receiving free transpor-
tation down to SHELBY ville-the "Yazoon of
Indiana, where, during the war, they
would have been stabbed i'm the back by
the same party that now offers them u free
ride and u free lunchl 1t is about time for
veterans to have a little self-respect.
