1t Is Said She Will Accept Nicaragua
Latest Proposal
LONDON, May SIT is learned on
good authority that Great Britain has
agreed to the proposed settlement of
her dispute with Nicaragua if the pay
ment of the indemnity is guaranteed.
1t is believed that the affair is practic-
ally settled.
The final proposition, as now con-
cluded between Nicaragua and Great
Britain, will, therefore, be as follows:
Great Britain agrees to Immediately
evacuate Corinto and withdraw her
fleet. Nicaragua agrees to pay the
e15.500 in London fifteen days from
the sailing of the feet out of
Corinto harbor. According to these
terms the fifteen days does not begin
to run until the actual sailing of the
fleet. The latter feature was insisted
upon by Nicaragua as a means of
checking popular agitation and as q
step toward maintaining her dignity.

Ruin In Its Path.
HUTCHINSON. Kan, May 3.-Seldom
is so much wreck and ruin crowded into
such brief space of time as was the
result of a cyclone in the farming
district 90 miles east of this city
Wednesday afternoon. About 4:20 p. m.
a twisting, hurling cloud was seen to
approach Patterson, a small station on
the Frisco road, about miles south
west of Burton: The air was dry and
filed with electricitv. Those who
saw it, say it resembled a great mass of
flying smoke and dust from prairie
fire. :: The air was as if it came from a
heated furnace, hot and sitting. The
storm struck about a mile of Pat
terson and for. IL miles in north
westerly direction left death and ruin
in path 100 yards to quarter of a
mile wide. -,
Ten persons were killed, as follows:
Mrs. Joseph Wear. Grace Wear. 1s years old:
Herman Wear, 10 years old: a babe, William
Armstrong. Grandma Chaplin. John Schmidt
Miss Schmidt, Dora Schmidt and Frank

Everything Goes Down in fts Path-From
oGventy-Five to One Hundred
~ 5. Ljves Estimated 90 Have
.7, Been Lost.

SIOUX CITY, May 6.-The lowest esti-
mate at first placed as to the loss of life
in the terrific cyclone that just ttpassed
over this part of Iowa Friday after
noon was fifty-two, but some even
asserted that it must have reached 200
or 300.
The storm originated about ~ miles
southwest of Sioux Center, passing
through Sioux Center, Perkins and
Sibley. Sixteen are known to have
perished at Sioux Center. The number
of killed at Doom is stated as ten. and
four or five deaths occurred at Sibley.
At Perkins the loss of life was very
large, perhaps not less than thirty or
forty. This, it was estimated, with
those who must have perished on the
farms about the country, must bring
the number to seventy-five or 100.
Four schoolhouses near Sioux Center
while school was in progress were de-
stroyed. At each from three to ten chill
dren were killed or injured. Many of the
children were carried from quarter to
half a mile before they were dropped.
Sioux FALLS, s. D., May GA cy-
clone dropped down into West Sioux
Falls about o'clock on Friday after
noon and did $50, 900 damage to prop
erty. The third story of large brick
block was torn off and several people
narrowly escaped being badly injured.
Proba bly, 100 houses. barns, windmills
and trees and chimneys were scattered
over the path of the storm.
There was regular cloudburst 20
miles north and an immense rise in the
river is looked for. The Sioux at Dell
Rapids is running over the Milwaukee
tracks, and Skunk creek is also high
and flooding farms in its course.
REDF1ELD. s. d., May Sphinx coun-
ty was visited by a heavy drenching
rain Friday afternoon, accompanied by
a high wind, lightning and big hail.
Citizens here viewed for some time,
north of here, the formation of cy-
clonic funnel-shaped cloud, which in
dicated trouble.
Returns are coming in showing that
within 10 miles north of Redfeld a
regular cyclone traversed toward Ash
ton, where it did much damage.
The opera house building, for
merly the courthouse, was blown
out of shape. The steeple of the
Congregational church was blown
down, many houses unroofed and
barns destroyed. The main street of
the city is strewn with debris of de-
molished buildings. Many farmhouses,
barns, granaries and cutbuildings
along the track of the cyclone north of
here are destroyed.
CHICAGO, May Give persons were
killed by lightning at various points in
Wisconsin and Iowa Friday. These
victims were as follows. At Kalona,

II is triumphantly demonstrated that, by
prudent economy, the Democrats managed
TO keep little under the billion mark, in
happy contrast TO the opposition, which
went little above it, and from this the
American people are asked the conclusion
that Democratic methods are never ADLER
and more honorable than Republican meth.

Mr.. Sayers figures do not coincide with
Mr.. Canuon's figures, which represent the

that there is not much for either party 10

not in position to point the finger Of scorn

considered that he has not been chary OF his

LIFE as SPREAD ON THE PRINTED

With the soft, sweet gush OF Spring comes
the mating season, and with it comes also
the unmating The joining of hands and
apparent uniting OF hearts that has filled
the news columns for days has been Offset

guished ubjoining. The voice of the turtle
dove is mingled whisperingly with the rasp
ing decree OF the divorce court. Noblemen
may come and rich maidens may go, blu,
tie fast American husband goes on forever.
Everything connected with golden mat
rimony is interesting, even its collapse, and
the public which has been smelling at orange
blossoms Tor the past ten days and listening
to wedding marches down columns OF non
pareil may now relieve itself with the de
tails of distinguished undoing. ln fact
we have before us the details OF several dis.
tinguished undoings wrapped in rue and
accompanied with mysterious minor strains.
Which end OF this romance Of life is the
more edifying-thal which romps in roses
or that which sits grim in ashes-we may
not decide here But We must not blink
the facts, and the most pathetic fact is that
the seasons have mixed themselves up co
incidently with the nestlings of the robins .
The Spring, which once had its crop OF
hopeful blossoms, now bears its harvest OF
blasted failures. The maidens who are put

the matrons who are taking them of and

A MATTER or INTEREST TO THE
WORLDi

When the war broke out between China
aud Japan almost all the European critics,
military and otherwise, were of the opinion
that although the japanese might make
few temporary gains, the final success would
be with the Chinese, who were not snly
stronger, but would prove themselves to be,
in bravery and military skill, the equals
of their oriental rivals. But the war has
brought out the facts that japan possessed
commanders who, in ingenuity, adaptabiIity
and readiness of resources, are, perhaps, the
equals of any military or naval officers now
living, and the change in conditions in the
East is as marvellous as that which the
japanese showed in SO quickly adopting
modern methods OF government after score
of centuries of oriental despotism.
Now that the world is about TO witness
the closing scenes Of the campaign, CHIEF oil
which is likely TO be the capture OF fekin,
increased and wide spread interest is being
ielt in the character of the reward which
Japan will consider herself entitled to. The
japanese are ardent by nature and shrewd
and persistent, besides being flushed with
victories, and utterances which have been
made in Toxic lead to the belief that the
government will resent any interference
with the course that it has mapped out for
itself Japan has, it is said, determined to
appropriate Corea and Port Arthur and TO
form an independent State out of that por
r. In Enraa II ia
also announced that an expedition is being
fitted out, the objective point of which is
the island of Formosa, and that the latter is
also 10 be incorporated with Japan, while,
besides all this, an ample money indemnity
will be exacted.
Ii was for some time felt that when the
time came Tor division OF the spells Great
Britain aand Russia would get into serious
uouble. The latter power has long had
designs upon Corea, and would, therefore,
wish to have it remain independent for the
time being. The trade OF Great Britain
with the Chinese Empire is Of immense
value, and the English people would look
with disfavor upon any settlement affecting
their freedom OF intercourse with the ports
OF China. India is also near TO China, and
Burmah touches the latter at one point, So
that England has really great commercial
and territorial interests at stake in any par
tition Of Chinese territory. France, too, has
an interest in the treaty which may end the
war, while Germany, with her growing
commercial interest in the East, may seize
upon the opportunity thus offered OF taking
hand in any diplomatic contest that will
arise. The action and conduct of Japan is,
therefore, a matter of interest for the world,
and as we are in cluse friendship with the
Island Empire it is also lor us subject of
inter national Importance,
