SHANGHAI. Aug. News of a ter
rible disaster has just reached here. A
tidal wave estimated to have been
about five miles in length swept in
from the sea on Sunday last and mum
dated the coast of Hayehau in the
northeast Of the province of Kfang Su.
The damage done is very great Many
villages were destroyed. 1t it estimated
that at least 1000 people were drowned.
In addition an immense number of cat
tie persisted. Rice fields were sub
merged and almost totally destroyed
and a famine is feared in that district
during the coming autumn.
Hayehau is situated opposite Yu Chan
island on the coast Of the Kiang Su
province, which is on the Whang Hal
or Yellow sea. The surface is mostly
level. which may account for the great
loss of life
Kiang su is one of the most fertile
provinces of the empire and exports
more silk than any other province of
China. The Yang Tse-Kiang enters
China through this province. the prin-
cipal city of which is Marking.

WAY CHANGE TIME Ro5rrtE,.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug 1.-Referring
to his proposed trip east, Mr.. Bryan
said today that he may conclude to
slightly change his route from here tc
Chicago, as a strong pressure is being
brought to bear to induce him to visit
some cities not on the Burlington line.
The dispatches have announced that
the free silver people of Des Moines,
Ia. have expected him to come that
way on partial assurances he had
given them, and have made prepara-
tons to recognize his visit. This IN
doubtedly is why he is reconsidering
the route of his projected visit.
1t was given out at the Bryan home
this evening that Hon. R. P. Rland of
Missouri will arrive in Lincoln next
Friday and will accompany Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan on their trim to New York.

A letter from Santiago de Cuba. re-

Cubans generally consider the death

insurgents. He first led the revolt i'm

following long before ROTOR, Sanchez

tonic Maceo invaded the west.
Felix Arasa, prisoner, well known in
Havana, who had been acting as mu-

arrested and brought to Havana with

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. IA special
to the Appeal from Birmingham, Ala,
says:
The campaign in Alabama came to a
close tonight and all sides are pre-
dieting victory in Mondays election.
Captain Joseph E. Johnston, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, says
that the Democratic ticket will win by
$4,000 majority. and that the legisla-
ture will show Democratic gains.
Secretary Mellor of the state Demo-

Foundation in Fact.

Story Recently Circulated Has No
Foundation in Fact.
LONDON, Aug. IA statement was
recently printed in some American pa
pers to the effect that the real reason
why Mrs. Florence Maybrick has not
been released is owing to the personal
opposition of Queen Victoria. Her maj
es'ly, it is reported, asked for copy of
the evidence, and that because III con-
tanned allegations OF an intrigue with 2,
lover, the queen intimated to Mr.. Hen
ry Asquith and latteriy to Sir MAJ
thew Whit Ridley, the present home
secretary, that under no circumstances
would she receive or consider any me-
mortal in favor of the release OF Mrs
Maybrick.
At the request of Baroness Rouques,
a representative of the Associated
Press has investigated the story and is
able, on high authority, to state that
the story has absolutely no foundation
in fact. Not only has her majesty
never int5mated any wishes in the mat
ter, nor. requested any copy of the evil
dence, but she has never expressed Off
cially any opinion in the case to any
home secretary. If it was decided to
release Mrs. Maybrick, her majesty
would not interfere.
The Maybrick case came up in the
house OF commons yesterday, when
the home secretary, Sir Matthew White
Ridley, was asked whether the gov
eminent would lay on the table the
statement OF the lord chief justice,
Baron Russell, of Killowen which at
tracted so much comment in March
last. He replied that the government
could not do so as the course was
unusual and undesirable and as the
letter was written in his private Ca
pacity and not in his capacity as a
judge. Ii was stated in March that the
present home secretary had reconsid
cred the Maybrick case and had prac-
tically decided i'll Mrs. Maybrick's ia
vor but that the lord chancellor, Bar
on Hansbury, to whom the case was
subsequently referred, had pronounc-
ed against the unfortunate woman,
and Mr. Henry Asquith, the late home
secretary, was also quoted as intimat-
ing that he was opposed to the release
of the prisoner. Both these opinions
were contrary, it is believed, to that
of the lord chief justice, who is said,
in the letter referred to in parliament
yesterday, to have expressed the belief
that Mrs Maybrick was unjustly con-
Victed

A Blow to the Insurgents.

HAVANA, Aug. 1.-The death in bat
tie of Juan Bruno Zayas, the well
known insurgent leader, is said to have
been a great blow to the insurgents
cause, both from a military and a po-
litical standpoint, as it is looked upon
in some quarters as being impossible to
fill his place.
1t was he who raised the instruction
in the province of Santa Clara.
1t is reported that the government
will beyond doubt take every advan-
tage possible of the death of Zayas,
which has caused a great sensation.
The insurgents, it is stated, are con-
tinuing 70 surrender in several parts
of the island and the opinion is ex-
pressed that the death of Zayas will
increase the number of men who are
giving themselves up to the Spanish
authorities.
