in the Cuban colony over the report that
one of the leaders had sent his seconds

TWENTY PEOPLE DROWNED.
NEOSHO AND SENECA MISSOURI
VISITED BY A STROM AND
CLOUDBURST.
MGST DAMAGE OCCURRED At SENECA
Twenty-Seven People Reported Drown
ed There-Water Six Feet Deep in
Business Houses-Heavy Prop
erty and Crop Damage

NeoshO, Mo-, May 3O.-A great rair
storm and cloudburst swept Neosho and
| Seneca, twelve miles west of here, last
| night. Sylvester Woods was drowned
and several houses were washed away.
At Seneca, twenty-five people are re-
ported drowned. The families are those
of j. T. Williams, FIVE; Carl Schmidt
five; II. Andreas, five; Mrs. Robinson
and child and several whose names are
unknown.
The Office of the Seneca Dispatch was
washed away, together with the Metho.
dist church, and half the buildings on
Main street. The property damage is
estimated at $4,000.
AT Seneca, in addition to the Williams,
Andreas and Schmidt families, Mrs.
DObler of Carthage, and her six children
We're drowned, and the following are
missing:
- Buchanan.
George White.
Mrs. Anderson and family.
Rev. Harry White and wife of
Seneca.
Two buildings were swept away at
Neosho, but the loss is slight The
damage to crops and furniture is great,
as many houses are flooded. The condi-
ton of Seneca is pitiable. 1t is a town
of 1900 inhabitants, sixteen miles west
of here, and is situated in valley, the
water extending from bluff to bluff, and
was from four to six feet deep in every
business house. In addition to the build
ings already mentioned, number of
residences were swept away.
Rev. Harry White and wife of the M.
e. church were in the Dispatch office,
and both are missing. They were mar
ried in New Jersey only two weeks ago.
A Mrs. Robinson. with her child clasp
ed to her, was found in a drift, both
dead.
The family of Z. ]. Moore. consisting
of five members are all missing; also the
family of H. Andreas, jeweler, five in
all. Buchanan, George White, Mr.. An
dersOn and family, supposed to be drown
ed. The wires are all down and this in
formation was brought by messenger. 1t
is thought twenty-seven persons lost
their lives in and near Seneca. The
Frisco road has two bridges out near
Dayton and Seneca and much track
washed away. There will be no trains
from either east or west until further
orders. The Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf has washouts north. but trains are
running between here and Sloan
Springs.
A report has just been received from
Seneca that nine bodies have been re-
covered. but the names could not be OBJ
tanned. 1t is thought the flood was worse
than at first reported. Indications now
point to another storm. in which the loss
of life and property will be great. The
damage to Seneca property will reach
$50. 600

slant and cordial relations of friendship.
This talk of common institutions and

than this, it is in some respects mislead-
ing. Talk of common language did not
prevent the United States from going
to war with England on two occasions.
Talk of common institution, whose CON
tiicting interests is involved, is rather
more imaginary than real. We are of
a common origin and of common blood
without doubt, and that means that we
are good fighters, who may be counted
each to stand by his own. War would
certainly be dreadful alternative, but
there are greater evils that may over
whelm mankind than war; the oblitera-

makes the emasculation of the human
species mostly a question of time. 1t
was the spirit of the Anglo-SaXon race
that placed England where she is today.
Her warriors are no more forgotten in
her history than are her sages. To the
same martial spirit the American Union
owes all that it has today and upon this
idea the United States must rely to main
tain her position among the nations of
the world
1T is certainly true that these two
great nations occupy position strong
enough to rule the destinies of the hui
man race, but they are not likely to
agree upon terms until Englishmen find
as much to thrill them with a feeling of
glory and pride at the tomb of Wash
