+ CYCLONE IN KANSAS.
The Towns of Willis, Everest and Pow
haitian in Ruins.
Several Lives Reported Lost and it Is
Feared That Few in the Village
Escaped Injury.

HIAwATHA, Kan, April 11.-Meagre
dispatches received here tonight from the
southern part of this, Brown county,
state that cyclone passed over that part
of the county and that three towns, Will
lis, Everest and Powhattan were laid in
ruins. AS communication with those
points is slow, it is almost impossible to
estimate the loss of life or property. 1t
seems almost certain that some lives were
lost, and it is feared but few in the vii
lagos named escaped injury. Hail broke
spoiled the prospect of a fruit crop this
year. Near Robinson the 14-year-old son
of F. P. Bolton, a wealthy merchant,
was struck by lightning and instantly
killed

AN AWFUL MINI HORROR.
Three Hundred Miners Entombed
in a Welsh Colliery.
CAUsE--EXPLOsION OF GAS.
Seventy Men Succeed in Reaching the
Surface Alive.
Rescue Parties Unable to Enter the Pit
on Account of Fire-Little Doubt,
However, That All Below the
Fire are Suffocated.

LONDON, April IA spark from an
engine ignited the gas in a coal pit near
Ponty Predd, Wales, and caused fright
full explosion, and three hundred miners
are entombed. The engine house is in
flames and the greatest fear is that hum
dreds have persisted. Rescuers were
driven back without being able to bring
up more than five of the dead, and the
fate of the others is in doubt. The most
agonizing scenes were witnessed at the
mouth OF the pit, around which relatives
of the miners gathered.
Seventy men succeeded in reaching the
surface through the main dip working,
led by miner who knew the roads.
They had terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through fire and smoke.
At9:45 o'clock this evening it is still i'm
possible to obtain more than meagre de-
tails of the accident. The men who saved
themselves were TOO confused and fright
ened to observe the position of their fel
low working men. They are unable to
give any clear account of the distribution
of miners and the work of rescue must
therefore proceed under all the difficulties
OF uncertainty.
At present the flames and smoke would
render any attempt at rescue vain if not
fatal to the party making the descent.
There is little doubt, however, that most,
if not all, the men below are suffocated or
burned to death. A second attempt to
enter the seam in which the fire started
proved resultless and although the rescue
party saw six dead bodies they were pre-
vented by smoke and heat from reaching
them. The number of men still in the
mine cannot be ascertained.
At midnight the fire was burning in all
sections OF the mine. The sections of pipe
which were used to pour water in the
mine burst, the difficulties in the way of
quenching the fire increased greatly and
the rescue of the men below is regarded as
hopeless.

QUARREL OVER TERRITORY.
Spain Excited Over the Seizure of the
PoIem Islands by Japan.

Spain Excited Over the Seizure of the
Polem Islands by Japan.
MADRID, April 11.-Much excitement
was caused here by a dispatch to the ef-
feet that Japan had seized the PoIem
islands. The group of islands in the
North Pacific, it is claimed, belongs to
Spain, and is situated $50 miles east of
the Philippine islands, at the western ex-
tremity of the Caroline archipelago, is
lands claimed by the Spanjards by right
of discovery. The governor of the Philip
pine islands has sent cable dispatch ask
ing for reinforcements, but whet her with
the object of attacking the Japanese or
not is not stated.
The Polem islands have about 10, 600 in
habitants and are very fertile. Their
situation is between the Philippine islands
and the Caroline islands, both Spanish
colonies. 1t is regarded as a sign that
Japan intends to encroach on the Span
ish possessions in the Pacific. The affair
may lead to grave difficulties between the
powers.

POPE LEO's SUCCESSOR
The italian Government Afraid OF Car
dinaI Gibbons Election.


dinaI Gibbons Election.
LONDON, April IA dispatch from
Rome, emanating from high authority,
states that the Italian government in
tends, upon the occasion of holding the
papal conclave, to issue a brochure de-
claring that the next pope ought to over
throw the democratic policy established
by the present pope and become recon
cfIed with the quirinal. The work, it is
said, will also declare that Pope Leo's
successor should favor an alliance be-
tween Italy, Austria and Germany.
The dispatch adds that in official cir
cles it is greatly feared that Pope Leo's
successor will be a foreigner. The liber-
ais especially dread the election of Cardi-
nal Gibbons of Baltimore. Officials at
the vatican laugh at the idea of the pro-
posed brochure having any effect. They
smile also at other attempts the Italian
government has made or may attempt to
make to change the pope's policy. Ec-
clesiastical authorities believe that the
Democratic policy of the pope has OBJ
tanned such firm hold upon the minds Of
the people that it will become traditional
and other popes will live up to it.

Father Beats His Boy to Death, Then
with Bis Wife Suicides.
BOWLING GREEN, KY, April 11.-Last
night George Bradley, well known
negro, flew into great rage about some
thing his -year-old boy had done,
and beat the child to death. Horrifed at
what he had done, Bradley went down
went back home. He and his wife both
took dose of it. The poison did not
operate fast enough for Bradley and he
procured a razor and cut his throat,
nearly severing the jugular. Neighbors
this morning found the lifeless body of
the boy on the floor, and in bed together
were Bradley and his wife, the former
bloody and gRsping for breath and his
wife in fearful agony from the poison.
Bradley will die but it is thought the
woman will recover.

The severest That Has Visited That City
for Many Years.

ST. LOUIS, April H. Thunder and
lightning, hail and wind combined this
evening to form the severest storm the
city has had for years. Easements in all
parts of the city are flooded. About II
O'Clock another storm came up. The
steamer D. H. Pike was lying at the
wharf with no steam up, and five men on
board were blown adrift, and as no trace
can be found of her it is feared she sunk
with all on board. The harbor boat with
full crew aboard was also blown from
the same wharf and has not been heard
from.
Two wharf boats anchored near by met
with similar fate, but it is believed no
persons were on board. No trace can be
found of any OF these boats, although
searchers are out everywhere. Trees,
roofs and outbuildings were also blown
down, and several runaways are reported
and several persons slightly injured. A
portion of an uncompleted structure was
blown down, causing SIS, 900 loss. A
small building was blown out into the
street and smashed.
