Joined the FIRST company OF volunteers
from this section. and participated in the
several battles OF the aiis.SouI- campaign n.
IN one of which he was wounded. After
some months OF service there he Joined
Hoods immortal Texas brigade and
fought through the war In that body, to
have been a member of which is glory I'M
perlsnable. He was shot through at the
Wilderness again at Chiekamauga and

WEST INDIA HURRICANE.
Boats, WharveS and Small Houses Are
Demolished by Big Tidal Wave
Property Loss Is Heavy.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. "A letter from
Cedar Keys. Fla, dated Oct. |. says:
The West India hurricane, OF which the
weather bureau gave warning, struck
Cedar Keys about $50 O'Clock Tuesday
morning and left II scene of wreckage
and devastation in it's wake 1t is by
far the most destructive storm that
has ever visited this portion of the
gulf coast in twenty years and the
property loss Is immense. Up to II
o'clock the night was calm and quiet.
AT that hour II moderate breeze sprang
up from the eastward, increasing
gradually until Il 80 mile wind was
blowing. About Il. m it blew a per-
feet tornado and suddenly changed to
the southwest. bringing in a perfect de
luSe of water, the tide rising tive feet
higher than in 1884, which was at the
time said to he the severest storm on
record.
At o'clock AN immense tidal wave
came In from the south. carrying de
struction with il. Boats. wharves and
small houses were hurled upon the
shore and breaking into fragments.
covered the streets with wreckage.
rendering them almost impassable.
while the torrents OF water rushing
through every open space would take

u. m. the worst was over. the wind
subsidized. the weather began to recede
and by p. IN. people could begin reck-
oning up the losses and clearing away
the wreckage. The property loss is;
very heavy.

TROUBLE BREWING
WITH SPAIN
Fight at Jacksonville May Provoke
More Complications.
THE SPANISH CONSUL FLOGGE
Lively Fight Occurs, in Which Cuban
Sympathizers and Government Men
We're PrOminent...The spanish
Minister at Washington Demands
Satisfaction.

Philadelphia, Oct "A story came
here today from Jacksonville, Fla;
which, if true, may still further COM
plicate the relations between this coun-
try and Spain. The story Is to the eff
fest that the fight occurred there yes
terday between party of Cuban sym
pathiZers and the Spanish consul there
and some Pinkerton detectives, in
which the latter party was worsted.
The Spanish consul and the detectives
were observing the movements OF the
Cubans, whose leader was Col. Eglio
Nunce, of this city, who Is well known
as an active opponent of Spain. The Gu
bans discovered the Espionage they
were under and turned upon the men
who were following them. A fight fol-
lowed. AS no deadlier weapons were
used than fists there were no fatalities.
but the consul and his men are said
to have received a severe drubbing.
The consul communicated the affair to
the Spanish minister at Washington
and the latter is said to have made a
demand upon President Cleveland for
reparation for an assault upon a Span
ish consul and the insult resulting
therefrom to the crown of Spain.
1t was also learned here today that
the famous little filibustering steamer
Laurada is suspected Of being about
to run another filibustering expedition
to Cuba. The Laurada has been held
at Wilmington. Del, by the federal
authorities for some time on account OF
the last trip she made to Cuba, and
only today was given clearance papers
for Halifax. The treasury officials are
said to be in possession of information
that the Laurada will take off an ex-
petition from near Atlantic City, under
the leadership of General Carlos. If
the governments information Is cor
rect and it has sufficient proof Of the
proposed expedition. there will be but
little trouble in putting stop to It,
as tonight the Laurada Is still in the
Delaware river

have been made south and west. If he
contemplates any move he will not an
nOunce it until after the Georgia state
election next Wednesday,.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. I'm this weeks
edition of Thomas f. Watson's Peo-
pies party paper. issued today. appears
an editorial attack upon Chairman
Marion Butler. which is considered of
much significance. in view of the rum
ors that Mr.. Watson will soon retire.
The article follows:
Attempts have been made to show that
Mr.. Watson favored fusion in the state of
Indiana. This is not correct. Mr.. Wat
son took the position at the beginning of
the campaign that no Populist could con-
sistently vote for a Sewall elector any
more than he could vote for Hobart
elector He filed with Chairman Butler a
written protest against Mr.. Buffers fusion
policy. Mr.. Butler has ignored Mr.. Wat
sons protest and gone steadily forward on
his own line
Mr.. Watson's position now is what it
was when the Georgia state convention
met He is for the straight Middle Of
Road ticket. In no other way can the
Democratic managers be forced to abide
by the st. Louis contract
Mr.. Watsons position has been humil-
iating and embarrassing and he has been
compelled to submit to policies he did not
approve.
