CUT WAGES IN TWO.
Why Indian Laborers Object to the
Single Gold Standard.

New York, July S.-A special to the
World from Belise says: Indian ma
hogany cutters complain that the adop-
ton by the colony of the gold stand
ard has cut wages in two. They sent
one of their chiefs here to demand sill
yer coins, which they received in pay
ment for work, to be accepted at par
value, and not subjected to a discount.
1t is impossible to convince the In
dams that the gold standard is an adj
vantage to the country, as they point
to the fact that they have been juggled
out of half of their pay. Yucatan resi-
dents here want the colony annexed to
Mexico, which still maintains q right
to this region. The Yucatans argue
that the case is precisely similar to
that of Venezuela, where the English
have wrongfully possessed themselves
of territory,

\ heavy rain, followed by a furious
wind set in at o'clock last night.
While the wind ceased. the rain con-
tinued until 10 o'clock. The water
seemed to come down in a continuous
stream.
At 1915 o'clock four feet of water
was on the streets. In fifteen minutes
many buildings could not longer stand
the strain and began to careen and
succumb to the waters. Vivid flashes
of lightning pierced the downpour,
which came like the Falls of Niagara.
Houses We're smashed, and in the wa
ter were hundreds of men, women and
children. 1t was like a shipwreck in
the ocean. Cries of terror and shouts
for help from the struggling people
clinglng to pieces of timber made the
scene one that baffied description. The
strong current rushing down the ravine
or valley carried many to higher land
and places of safety.
When the torrent had to a degree
subsidized, the men who had saved
themselves turned their attention to
others, and by o'clock in the morning
the worst was over. Those who had
escaped the sweep of devastation stood
shivering, without clothing or without
an opportunity to dry themselves.
When day dawned there was nothing
of the homes in the town. There was
no shelter, no food, no clothing. AS
soon as the destroyed Geographic com
munication was restored, Mayor Il. f.
Evans telegraphed to this city for aid.
Tonight the inhabitants of Winsna
are scattered among farmhouses or
have gone to neighboring towns.
In all, thirty buildings were de-
stroyed. Among them were the A. Car
ter Lumber Company's building, loss,
$4,000; Mrs. A. G. Scranton, millinery
building, $500; j. j. Bowen, three
buildings, $4,000; Church &c Kissell Lum-
Der Company, $500; the Barr Hotel
and Pettis House, Lewis House and
Stills House were all carried away. The
total loss is not less than $4,000.
Rev. G.. w. Duncan, who lost his life,
was pastor of the Winona circuit, and
was but recently ordained. He was
formerly an engineer on the Iron Noun
tain Railroad. The bodies of Miss Ma
nie Duncan and Mrs. Crawford were
found at o'clock this morning, and
| The others were recovered long after
laybreak.
1t is now known that Birch Tree,
eight miles west of Winona, had its
greatest storm at the same hour last
night. No lives were lost there, how
ever, but Cord & Fisher lumber deal
ers lost $4,000 by the destruction of
their building. other buildings were
| greatly damaged there.

Sallna, Kan, July S.-A hailstorm,
accompanied by much heavy wind,

damage. At Bridgeport the Smoky Hill
