OXFORD, Mich, May 26.-A terrible oy-
clone struck the village Of Oakwood last
night and entirely wiped II out OF exist
ence, destroying all the buildings and leav-
Ing death and destruction in its trail
just west of the village the fields were
strewn with dead and wounded, a COM
plete list Of which cannot yet be given.
The storm also struck the village Of
Thomas and destroyed about a dozen
buildings. Many farm buildings are de.
stroyed, but definite news cannot yet be
obtained from the country on account of
the roads being blocked with fallen trees
and debris. 1t is believed that the number
of dead and wounded will reach nearly
100. Physicians have gone from Oakland,
Oxford and Metamora.
The following names of the dead at
Thomas have been reported by their neigh
bors who escaped with their lives but lost
their homes:
John Pooritt, Mrs. Joseph Bird, John
Milkey, E. f. Torrance, Mrs. Henry
Quick, Ephraim Quick and two children,
Mrs. Alice Mitchell and two children.
Actual details of the devastation caused
by the cyclone are yet meager, but all Of
the witnesses agree that the storm was a
regular western twister. Its first appear
ance at Thomas Station was from the
southwest IN the form of a densely black
funnel shaped cloud, moving with almost
incredible swiftness and seeming to take
long leaps. 1t seemed to have the elastici-
ty Of a gigantic rubber ball and would
strike the ground, then, leaving foot
print Of devastation, bound into the air
and travel a mile or more before again
touching the earth.

80 far as I was able TO Judge there
is only one sentiment In Spain regard
ing the troubles in Cuba, and Il is that
the rebellion must be crushed II every
drop Of Spanish blood is spent in the
effort. CASTELAR,, as well as all othei
Spanish leaders, still adheres to the be
lief, or processes to, that the Cubana
now ia insurrectioD are simply bandits
They all refuse to recognize a state Of
war In Cuba"
This one Spanish sentiment regarding
the troubles in Cuba has doomed oven
the seas at the many times In which
Spain has had troubles In her Other
American possessions. All the countries
Of Spanish America that are now indie
pendent of Spain were told that they
would be crushed if it should take every
drop Of Spanish blood to crush them
In number Of cases the boast was the
loudest just when Spain was turning
from the sentiment which held the last
drop to the more discreet Thought that
It was time to sledaddle Fourteen re
publics on this eide Of the Atlantic have
heard Spain's boast within our century,
and have come to know Its emptiness
Spain has blood in her yet, and some ID
IL will be left after Cuba has driven her
out
We desire not trouble, but peace,
with Spain. We cannot, however, per
init her to exterminate the people Of
Cuba Whatever be her pride, her sensi
tiveness or her bluster, the American
people viii surely yet give her 10 un.
derstand that she must get out Of Cuba

FRleHTFuL DISASTER.
Street Cars Go Through a Bridge. Drown

StFeeb thrs 80 Ihrough Bridge, Drown
ing Nearly n Hundred People.
VICTORIA, B. c.. May s7.-It is believed
that between so and 80 persons lost their
lives when an electric car fell through the
Point Ellioe bridge into an arm of James
bay.
A sham battle at Macaulay Point was
on the programme as part Of the celebra-
tion Of the queens birthday, and nearly
the whole of the population OF the city
had gone out to witness It. Victoria pro-
longs the celebration Of the queens birth
day more than the older cities and oele-
brates It enthusiastically.
The day was practically a holiday in the
city. The electric cars running out to the
scene of the battle had been overorowded
all the forenoon. Every car was full, not
only inside, but as many as could do so
clung on the outside as we'll. The car to
which the accident happened contained
about so persons. Even the roof was oo-
oupied.
In crossing the Point Ellioe bridge 1t
left the track, crashing through the rail-
ings, and fell into the water rs feet be-
low. The fall was 30 sudden and unex-
pected that all the passengers were carried
with it.
The car fioated for a moment, and then
was carried down by the weight of the
metal work attached to IL. Those inside
were unable to escape and were drowned.
Some of those on the outside escaped by
swimming, but the rest, stunned by the
fall or unable to swim, were drowned.
It is believed now that so or go persons
were drowned, but it is as yet impossible
to ascertain the real number. 1t is diff
cult to learn who were on the car when It
took the fatal plunge, and It Is equally
difficult to learn how many escaped. 1t
will probably be several days before the
real extent Of the disaster can be learned

DESCRIBES THE EVENT.

Commentaries His Coronation by Acts Of
Mercy-Free Dinners Given 60 the Peo-

Throughout Southern Russia.
LONDON, May s7.-Sir Edwin Arnold.
in his dispatch to The Daily Telegraph,
approaches the task Of describing the ooro-
nation of the ozar with some apparent
misgivings of its magnitude. He says:
"It Is difficult indeed after seven hours
spent near the thrones to disengage ones
thoughts with any olearness for narration
and description from the condition Of CON
fused admiration and RlitterinR inoohe
renee in which so extraordinary a scene
must at first plunge 1t.
Proceeding then to describe the Cathe-
dral of the Assumption, in which the cor
onation took place, Sir Edwin says;
1.-THE edifloe itself Is minute, but its
inner Rlories and sanotities are such that
you feel as IL you were standing at the
heart of some gilded and jeweled cavern
of dreamland. To feel however, as the
devout Russian feels In this astonishing
place, you must know something of the
overwhelmingly hallowed associations
clustering around it. The most impress
sive moment was when all, including the

DIES MONIES, May a6-Late reporta
from sections visited by the Cyclone indi-
cate that the damage is more extensive
and widespread than was at first believed.

Polk, Storey and Jasper, causing great
devastation. In the district covered by the
tornado not less than 40 people were killed.
The village Of Valeria, Mingo and San
tiago, Jasper county, on the Chicago and
Great Western railway, between this city
and Marshalltown, were nearly wiped
from the face Of the earth. and adjacent
counties were laid waste, with oonsidera-
BILE loss Of life and great destruction Of
railway and other property. Fourteen
people were killed at Valeria, five at Min
20, four in the country few miles west
Of Bon Dorant and three at Santiago.
A terrible spectacle was presented in
one demolished house In VHleria Several
members OF q family named Failous, ia
ther, mother and five children, were found
lying dead among the wreekage In one
room, except the mother, who Is not ex-
peotsd to live.

NEW YORK, May el.-Emanuel Ninger
of Flagtown, N. j., the old man who is
accused Of making counterfeit United
States notes of large denominations with
pen and ink, in the criminal part Of the

JERSEY CITY, May 26.-Paul GEM, vino
was twice convicted of killing his sweet
heart Clara Arnim, in Hoboken in 1894,
was arraigned before Judge Lippinoott in
this city for sentence. At both trials the
defense was insanity. The judge read a
long opinion denying the application for
a new trial. GEM was asked to stand up
and the judge asked him If he had any
thing to say why sentence should not be
pronounced on him. GEM replied, There
is no use of saying anything here" Genz
was then sentenced to be hanged in the
Hudson county jail between the hours of
10 a. m. and 3 p. m, July 10.

metropolitan, were prostrate on their
knees in prayer for the protection and
guidance Of the czar. He alone remained
standing-a lonely figure in the thronged
cathedral, lonely figure in his empire,
for at this intense moment all of the en-
pire is practically on its knees for him be-
fore the throne of heaven. One can hard
ly bear to look upon his face at this pro-
digious instant, when 100, 600, 900 hearts
concentrate their thoughts and supplica-
tions upon that single head. Imperial,
lofty, confident perhaps he Is, but how iso-
lated, how solitary, how alonel
The Striking Feature.
"But now commences the striking fea-
ture of the ceremony, which fills the mind
with inexpressble sympathy and almost
with compassion, the melting of loyalty
into the family passion characteristic of
the Slav. With an exquisite softness of
voice and gesture the emperor called to
him his empress A passing tremor SEEM
ed to shake the fair form which arose in
obedience to the summons. But with all
dignity and grace she falls upon her knee
before her august lOrd-a sight as touch
ing as 1t Is maiestio-her long hair loose
upon her white neck, her splendid gar
ments trailing in a sheeny glory, her un-
gloved hands meekly olasped, every inch a
queen though not yet crowned"
Sir Edwin then describes the orowning
of the empress and continues;
"These two moments and the solemn
interval when the ozar knelt and prayed
silently for his whole people, for his con-
sort and for himself, while his mighty
empire outside stood erect, chiefly affected
me as the more fraught with imperial and
human significance.
"The scene then became somewhat te-
dious with the monotony of the choral
service or the boundless splendor Of the
ceremony OF the coronation.
As the ozar placed the smaller crown
upon the soft brown tresses of the ozarina
at his knee the bright spring sunshine
fell through window upon It, making
1t radiant and sparkling. 1t seemed hap
py augury."
