TELEGRAPH WIRES ARE DOWN
Hundreds of Farmers Lose Their
Entire Crops by the Wini
and Rain.

MOBILE. Ala, Aug. 16.-News of a
deadly cyclone that passed through Perry
County, Ala, Thursday, was received to-
day by the Herald. About o'clock in the
afternoon it became very dark, the barome-
ter began to fall and heavy rain de-
scended. A terrific wind caused trees to
be hurled high in the air, while the
strongest houses were shaken from their
foundations. Twelve negroes and three
white men, names unknown, are known
to be among the killed and many others
were injured. The list of dead may be
greatly increased when news is received
from other places in the country.
The meager details given above are from
Augustine, sixteen miles from the nearest
telegraph station. The cyclones path
was through the interior of the county,
which cannot be reached by wire. Hun
dreds of farmers lost their entire crops by
the wind and rain.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Aug. 16.-The
Populist State Central Committee will
meet in this city tomorrow to consider
the September election. The Arkansas
Populists may conclude not to support
BRYAN, and may substitute the name of
Norton OF Illinois. An address just issued
by the State committee is as follows:
We call special attention to the Peoples
party nominees for Presidential electors.
These electors, if elected, will vote for the
Peoples party candidate for President and for
Thomas E. Watson for Vice-President. The
old party leaders are doing all in their power
to disintegrate the Peoples party by false re-
ports. We are glad to say that they are not
succeeding, but, on the contrary, nearly all
the silver Republicans have come to the Peo-
pies party and are attending their eonven-
tions.
Thousands of Democrats declare they will
support Bryan and Watson electors. They
much prefer Watson to Sewall The commit
tee urges the party to give earnest support to
our National State and local tickets. There is
nothing in the situation that is discouraglng,
but, on the contrary, much TO encourage.

Given the Choice of Death by
His Own Hands or an
Execution.
HIS UNCLE SEEKS REVENGE,
A Duel With the Butcher in His
Palace Prevented by Other
Officers.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug, 16.-A dis
patch to the Recorder, from Havana,
says: Captain-General Weyler and Gen.
eral Ochando were the principals in a
sensational affair which occurred shortly
before the latter sailed for Spain.
It seems that the death of General
Ochando's nephew, who was a lieutenant
in the Spanish army. was the cause of the
trouble. There were ugly rumors in cir
culation rejecting on the young lieuten-
ant. 1t was alleged that he was conduct
ing a reasonable correspondence with
Maxine Gomez, the insurgent chief.
When Weyler heard of the rumors he
summoned the young man TO the palace
and questioned him. Weyler was ap-
oarently satisfied of the young man 8
guilt and told him if he did not
commit suicide within twenty-four hours
he would be court-martialed and shot,
The lieutenant left the palace, went to
his room, and in six hours was corpse,
having shot himself through the heart.
Shortly afterward General Ochando ar
rived in Havana and learned the true
story of his nephew's death. Ochando
was greatly enraged, and Immediately
went to the palace to call Weyler to ac-
count.
The meeting of the generals was sensa-
tional. Ochando denounced Weyler in
the bitterest terms, alleging that the lieu
tenant was guiltless and had been driven
to his death. Ochando termed Weyler a
murderer and butcher, and challenged him
to duel.
Both men drew swords, and would have
fought in the palace but for the interfer-
ence of other officials.
Two days later General Ochando sailed
for Europe. he is greatly enraged, and
says that he will make the affair public
when he reaches Spain and demand Wey-
ler's recall

Chamberlain Attaches No Importance to the
News About New TrcGty-Rhodes

LONDON, ENG, Aug. 16.-Joseph Cham
berlain, Secretary of State for the Col

the statement made by the Sunday Sun to
the effect that the Transvaal had entered
into treaty with a foreign power, con-
trary to the Anglo-Boer treaty of 1888,
and that Great Britain had demanded an
explanation from the Boer Government.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the Colonial Office

administration of the British South
Africa Company and into the origin of the
incursion into the Transvaal by an armed
force. Mr.. Rhodes will probably be the
first witness.

burials than any seven days of which

delayed until to-day.
Thirty-six hearses were borrowed from
ad Joining towns in New Jersey, and
twelve from Phi iladelphia for to-day, and
several New York undertakes, whose
rush was over, loaned hearses to Brooklyn
friends Other hearses were added to
Brooklyn's supply from Long Island
towns, as there were nearly one-fourth of

buried.
At the cemeteries the crowds of visitors
were enormous and the tolling of the gate
bells continuous. So many graves had
been called for that the force of nearly 300
men at Calvary had been increased by
over 100 diggers, and the entire number
worked night and day.
All dav Father Costello stood in the
chapel at Holy Cross and pronounced the
benediction of the dead. The funeral

the entrance, where bearers waited with
burdens and the weeping relatives Until
