Disastrous Storms.

Parts ofTexas, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas,
the two Dakotas, Kentucky, Minnesota and
Southern and Western States were visited
on Thursday. Friday and Saturday of last
week by terrible cyclones, whirlwinds. rain
and hail storms and cloudbursts. Several
towns and villages were carried away or
partially destroyed, over three hundred
lives were lost, and many persons so severity
injured that it would have been better had
they been killed outright. The loss to stock,
crops, buildings, railroads, county roads, &c,
will amount to several millions of dollars, to
say nothing about the suffering of those who
are left without food, shelter or clothing.
The same storm extended up the coast and
considerable damage was done to shipping,
trucking farms, orchards, &c The details,
in many instances, are heart-rending, and
would fill several columns of the ADVOCATE.
From Europe reports are received of disas-
trous storms, especially on the coast of Eng
land and France.

Something is wrong in Baltimore. Every
body is in bad humor. The Mayor and
Council cannot agree. The School Board
cannot meet without a row, and an important
case cannot be tried without lawyers threaten
ing to see each other outside. The Sun is
mad, the News is mad, the World is mad, the
Herald is mad, and Gen. Agnus has not felt

fell into the hands Of the insurgents, so
that there is good ground for the belief
that some of the crew and passengers also
made their escape and Joined the rebels.
Notwithstanding reports coming from Ha-
vana via Madrid, 1t is not believed here
that the Spanish authorities will act hast
lily or with undue severity in the cases of
the captfves of the Competitor expedition.
The Spaniards have repeatedly asserted
in answer to charges of violation of the
rules of civilized warfare that they had
only sanctioned the execution of incendi-
aries, guerrillas and spies, and as these
prisoners are not in this category, and are
at most only prisoners of war, it is not
perceived here how the Spaniards can con-
sistently impose the death penalty in their
cases. The Spanish minister was among
Secretary Olney's visitors today.
Ihe State Department was authen tcally
informed today that, while some of the per-
sons captured on board the Competitor
were killed during the fight that ensued be-
tween the Spanish steam launch and the
schooner, and while many more are sup
posed TO have escaped, only one of the per-
sons captured is an American citizen, who
thus far has refused to give his name.
The latter may be Hamilton, who has
peen described as a newspaper correspond
ent, but there is no certainty on that point.
Inc State Department will intercede in be-
half or the American citizen to see that he
has fair trial
