AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE
Nearly 1000 Killed by the cy.
 clone in Mauritius.
MULTITUDEs OF NATIVES INJURED.

Six Hundred Wiped Out of Existence fin
 Port Louis, the Capital Town and
 Forest LevelIed AIike--The Shore strewn
 With wrecks-Assistancs from England.
 LONDON, May 21.-It is reported that over 300 persons have been killed, 7,000 injured, and half the crops destroyed by the cyclone on the island of Mauritius on April go.
 The Lord Mayor of London has opened a~fund for the relief of the inhabitants of that place.
 Six hundred persons were killed in Port Louis, the capital. Among the build ings wrecked in the city were 24 churches. A
 The hospitals and innumerable tents are filled with the injured. Nearly every house had several injured.
 There was no loss of life among the is under the direction of Sir Charles relieve the distress.
 The cyclone was the most destructive that has ever visited that colony. The hurricane swept over the island with the greatest fury, levelling groves and for ests, scattering houses like chaff, and destroying hundreds of human lives The shore was strewn with wrecks, and the island was a scene of devastation.
 The storm descended with such sud- denness and ragged with such violence that the people had no opportunity to escape. Thousands were caught in the fields and borne along by the terrific blast, their limbs broken or their lives crushed out. Along the shore there was midnight darkness. @@
 The cries of the sailors, as the vessels were driven with frightful speed toward the shore, were inaudible in the roar of the elements.
 The sea was swept in 6 vast wave be- fore the force of the hurricane, and lashed its waters upon the coast at a height never before known within the recollection of the people of Mauritius- Vessels were borne on the coast and left high and dry, while others were smash ed to pieces against the rocks which they encountered while heIplessly driven be- fore the cyclone.
 Many sailors perished, and many oth- CTS who escaped death were left wounded and helpless and without 8 refuge, for the people on land were too busy at tending to their own dead and injured to devote much attention to the victims of the sea.
 The Mayor of Port Louis has cabl ed to the Lord Mayor of London as follows: GA third of the town is destroyed. There are thousands of victims. We appeal to your generosity"
 The Lord Mayor cabled, in reply, that the citizens of London felt the deepest sympathy for the sufferers, and he promised immediate relief. Over $5, 900 has already been subscribed, and will at once be forwarded.

 Antonio, Venezue1a.
 PANAMA, May 21.-News from vene- zuela has been received by officials here that on April 13 banditti captured the town of San Antonio on the Colombian frontier and near she city of Cucuta.
 The capture was followed by violence and pillage. Men were driven from their houses and families, and the plunderers took possession of both. All the princi- pal buildings were sacked of all the portable articles of value which they contained, and citizens were tortured to force them to give up money and valu- ables which had been hidden in antici- patton of the coming of the marauders. Several houses belonging to men who refused to surrender their goods were burned. There were two camps of ban dits outside of the town, and women and young girls were kidnapped nightly to be outraged by the men there.
 The people fled by scores by night across the border into Colombia, al- though their departure was hindered when they were discovered. Two men and five women were shot while trying to escape.

Marrow Escape of Firemen.
 OswEGo, N.Y., May 21.-It is believed that the loss by last nights fire will reach $1, 900, 900. The flames started in the big Washington Mills. (which were soon destroyed. A brisk wind prevailed, and the efforts of the firemen were for 8 long time unavailing. The fire next spread to the Corn Exchange and Mer- chants and Marine elevators, which had to be abandoned.
 The coal trestles of the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, and Della wsre & Hudson Canal Company, were next to go. The Continental elevator also burned, thus practically wiping out Oswego's lumber interests. There were 9 dozen fires at one time in the lumber district, and it was not until the fremen from Syracuse and Fulton ar rived that the flames were subdued.
 A number of firemen on top of the Continental elevator were cut of by the flames and had 8 very narrow escape. They were rescued with ropes.

PARIS, May 21.-After a careful in vestigation it seems certain that Poulez, the celebrated fencer, hoaxed the whole French press with his story that he had fought four duels in an hour. Nothing can be learned as to his antagonists or the witnesses. The whole narrative rests wholly on Poulez's affirmati on, an d he is a notorious braggart.

The Defendant Makes a Damaging
Expression.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct. 13.-The trial
of Daniel D. Sullivan for the murder of
Anthony S. Haswell was resumed to-day.
The morning session was mainly devoted
to the REORGANIZATION of Sullivan by
the attorney general The defendant was
on the stand nearly two hours.
The examination was of the
most searching character, and
though the prisoner did not break down,
he became somewhat confused when hard
pressed. He made one statement which
may tell sadly against him. Mr.. Burbank
was questioning the witness in regard to
his reason for leaving the company of Dali
ton and returning to the city. 81 was
tired and hungry" said Sullivan, land
did not want any part of It," Afterwards
when Sullivan realized what he had said he
tried to deny that he had used such an
expression and then said he meant moth
ing by it. In other respects the defendant
sustained himself fairly we'll. In the af
ternoon Lawyer George J. West made his
argument in behalf Of the prisoner. 1t
was a lengthy plea, occupying nearly
two hours and one-half and was I'M
doubtedly one of the most powerful ad-
dresses ever delivered before the Rhode

DOVER, N. H., Oct. 13.-Samuel W.
Green of Wells sleeps tonight in the
rotary jail here, charged with one of the
petrated. Samuel Green of Wells, Me-,
enlisted in Company K, 14th Maine. No
vember, 1861, being forty years old, and
was discharged March 81, 1852, at Au-
gusta by reason of the loss of three
toes on each foot before he was
enlisted. He never applied for a
pension and was run over and killed at
Damariscotta, Me-, while intoxicated eight
years ago. Green had a son, Samuel W.,
who filed a claim for a pension July "a,
1890, at saco, Me-, under the name of
Samuel Green, alleging that he enlisted in
discharged by taking cold at Au-
quota. The claim was granted giving
$12 a month from the date of application.
The pension department found there was
some discrepancies between Green's state
ment and the record, and referred it to
Charles Fairbanks, special pension ex-
aminer of New Hampshire on October f.
On that day Green came here and
swore to his pension voucher before
81. A. Redfield, but payment had
been stopped. Fairbanks learned the facts
and went to " ellis to-day to get Green,
who had got wind of the trouble because
his money had not come and was prepsr-
ing to leave for Canada. He was found
seven miles from his home on the marshes
and induced to come to Dover to be
identified on tho promise that the check
would be paid him as soon as he went
before Redfeld. He was arrested
by United States Marshal Pierce,
taken to Portsmouth, and before Com
missioner Batchelder and pleaded not
guilty, being held in 81 900 for hearing
October 20. He was then brought here to
jail. It appears that when young Green
applied for the pension he used his fathers
name; also that at the time young Green
says he enlisted he was but nine years old.
He has second wife and seven children
