he saw the cyclone approaching from

him. and a half mile to the south Of tie
track, but its course was such that he
could tell that it would cross the rail-
way. He signalled the engineer, and
the latter undertook to run away from
the cyclone. For FIVE miles the race
was thrilling. Regular stops were
passed at the rate of fifty miles per
hour by the train. and the cyclone
came along just behind. travelling sew
e%nty-nye per hour faster. The train
just did escape the severe part of the
storm. and as ii was the coaches reeled
as though they would leave the track.
At Willard Station every house was
torn to pieces. Henry Adams. white.

outright. Buildings. fences and crops

an interview with the Spanish premier,

that the climate of Cuba prevented de-

lion was entirely the work of foreign
Adventures, but he was glad to say
that the insurgent supplies of arms inc

Mobs of strikers.
Washington. July S.-President Cleve-
and has laid down explicit rules for
the guidance of the army in dealing
with mobs through the medium of the
new army regulations which will soon
be issued by the war department. The
army has heretofore been without e&-
plicit orders in that respect. Presi-
dent Cleveland believes that when
troops are called out to face mobs they
must subdue them even if it is neces-
AIRY to NOW them down with a storm of
bullets. This is shown by the instruc-
tions given in the regulations. The
status of the mob Is defined as a pub
lie enemy, provided it is forcibly resist
ing or obstructing the execution of the
laws of the United States or attempt
ing to destroy property belonging to or
under the protection of the United
States. President Cleveland. Gen.
Schofield and Secretary Lamont. with
the assistance of the encouragement,
laid down explicitly the rules under
which troops should fire into a mob.
and these have been incorporated in the
regulations.

they will go TO General Lee, but my

whole of his military history Is full Of
mistakes
General I.ongstrcet was a good SOL
der, and is one of the few commanders

census OF military opinion is that as Il

perior, and the world has up to this
time furnished few equals.
or course, there will always be In the
minds of men a difference Of opinion as
TO the ability of this. or that man as q
military commander, but except In
General Longstreet's opinion, there Is
none as to the ability OF General Lee
Without going into details, The Vir-
sinian thinks that General Longstrcet
has made a great mistake in his criti-
cism. and he need not be surprised 10
learn that not only his treatment OF
General Lee, but the unspuring manner
In which he criticizcs some of the most
famous of the Confederate leaders
should create for him hard feelings

pecinlly the old soldiers.
