OMAHA, May pa special to the
Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says:
A cyclone swept this section this af-
ternoon. A funnel-shaped cloud swept
downward from the storm CENTER and
a general stampede of citizens for
caves and cellars ensued. At the school
house the children fed panic-stricken
to the furnace-room, amid the widest
confusion, aud a number of children
were hurt The cyclone struck the
ground north of the town. It's course
was northwest The path of the storm
was from 200 to 800 yards wide, and
every thing in its path was RACED to
the ground, including several houses.
Carl Johnson, a prominent farmer,
was caught in the uwister. He had a
team attached to wagon. He en-
de.avored tc skirt the storm by driving
in a meadow to the westward but
before he could lash his horses out of
the path of the rapidly approaching
hurricane he was caught in its vortex,
and man, horses and wagon were car
ried through space, together with fence
boards, posts. wire and other debris.
His clothes were literally torn from
his back and he received a number Of
wounds. At times the wind would
raise him high in the air and drop him
back to the earth, only to catch him
up again. In his fight he would de-
scribe a circle, and when the storm
finally passed over him he was $50
yards or more distant from where the
storm first struck him. The wagon
was completely, demolished.
After trayersing a distance of about
two miles the funnel-shaped cloud
arose. as suddenly as it had Shot down
to the earth, and at a point five or six
miles further north dropped again to
the earth, where it is feared great
damage and loss of life resulted.

The Battle Between Delaware Re-
Dublieans Yesterday.

DOVER, Del, May 12-The Republi-
can state convention met here at noon
today, and before adjournment one of
the stormiest battles in the history of
the Republican state politics had
been waged. Charges of fraud were ex-
changed and fighting over contested seats
INDUCED in until it looked as if the con-
vention would end in chaos. The war was
between the factions respectively headed
by j. Edward Addicks and ex-senator
Anthony Higgins. In the afternoon the
Higgins men bolted the convention and
held separate one in the state house.
These national delegates were chosen:
Anthony Higgins, John Pilling, Hiram
Reedy, DR.. z. T. Carlisle, C. P. Swain
and George H. Hall. They were in
structed for Mckinley.
The regular convention selected J. Ed
ward Addicks, D. F. Stewart, j. Frank
Allen DR.. Hiram r. Burton Dr. Caleb
r. Layton.
The fight between the factions was pre-
cipitated by a motion for the chairman
to appoint a committee on credentials.
The Higgins people fought for the nam
ing OF the committee by the district. and
wrangle followed. The motion for the
chair to appoint finally carried by a vote
dicks men. Mr.. Addichs, who sat as a
contestant from the Brandywine Hun

cuted by the Higgins men and that he
would stand their frauds no longer

to Build n Railway from Ninsen
to Seoul.

SAN FRANCISCO, May i2.-The
steamer China arrived today from Yo-
kohalna and Hong Kong, and was per-
mittel to dock Immediately by the
quarantine officers. Oriental advices
state that the plague has apparently
been checked, no unusual number of
fatalities being reported. A number
OF the Koreans are still in revolt. The
rebels have formed themselves into
four bands each several hundred
strong. They have had several en-
gagenlents with the government troops.
Although the number of killed is re-
ported to be small, the rebels seem to
have had the worst of the encounters.
From Seoul comes the statement that
the Korean government is about to
make a contract with an American syn
dictate for the construction of a rail-
road from Ninsen to Seoul. The Amer
lean builders are to operate the road
for fifteen years, at the end of which
period the government may take the
line upon payment of the cost of con-

is said to have passed to Russia and

tured all the Korean commerce.

LIKE A FEATHER.
Hundreds of Tons of Water Picked
Up in Benton HarbOr.

hundreds OF Tons of Water Picked
Up in Benton Harbor.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, May r.
A most unusual and exciting sight was
witnessed from the bluff last evening,
when hundreds of tons Of water were
carried skyward from the lake by the
wind, which for time assumed the pro-
portions of a cyclone. A sudden squaIl
became noticeable few miles south.
The sky became black and the small
vessels on the lake hastily put about
for the harbor. Hardly had the last
one enterd port, when a water spout
became visible on the northern hori-
zon.
The immense cloud of water was
clearly defined. 1t stood at an angle
of about % degrees; the top appeared
much larger, standing toward the
south. At first it appeared as an i'm
mense column of spray and mist, but
soon changed so that it looked to be all
water. 1t appeared to follow the coast
line about three miles from shore. AS
1t Travelled. it spread with the base of
the column in a continuous wave.
When it reached point three miles
north it was seen to burst. The roar
of the falling water could be heard as
it fell. Five minutes afterward the
storm cleared and the sky became clear.
The wind spent it's force on land, whirl-
ing everything that was loose No es-,
innate of the height of the waterspout
or volume of water it contained can be
made. It was very large in diameter
and extended as far in the sky as the
eye could reach.

SAYS 1T WAS WOOD.
Jackson's Attorney Endenyors to
Unload the Responsibility for the
Crime.

NEWPORT, KY, May 12.-There is
diminution in attendance at the Jackson
trial today. Colonel Crawford began his
argument for the defense. The line of his
defense has been to create sympathy for
Jackson by dwelling upon the torturing
inquisitorial treatment given him by the
Cincinnati police. He also tried to show
that Win Wood. not Jackson, was respon-
sible for Pearl Bryan's condition.
Colonel Crawford having exhausted his
voice at AS O'Clock, court adjourned IN
til tomorrow. Crawford will finish in the
morning and Commonwealth Attorney
Lockhart will conclude for the prosecution
SO as to give the case to the jury by ad-
journing hour in the afternoon. Colonel
Crawford devoted much OF his argument
to an attempt to discredit the testimony
OF the two negroes, Allen Johnson and
George H. Jackson, the cab man. but his
greater effort was to create a doubt as to
whether the girl was killed in Ohio or
Kentucky and also to establish an aIibi
for Scott Jackson.

WASHINGTON, D. c., 12.-Toward
river and harbor bill, Senator Warren,
of Wyoming, aroused considerable in
terest in the discussion by springing
an amendment providing that en-
gineers to the war department be
authorized to make examinations in
Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. and re-
port to congress whether or not it was
practicable and desirable to irnpound
the rivulets and streams from the
mountains during the spring freshets,
turning these waters into reservoirs.
and thus at the same time prevent
erosion of the banks of the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers in the spring
time, and store these waters for the
benefit of arid lands in these states.
In explanation of, his amendment,
Warren said it had been suggested by
the controversy between Senators Vest.
of Missouri. and Cafery, of Louisiana.
as to the merits of Captain Eads' sys-
TEN of levees on the lower Mississippi.
Mr. Warren commended that the best
way to prevent overflow and erosion
of the banks of these navigabIe rivers
was to
INBOUND THE WATERS
at the fountain heads. This would
serve a two-fold purpose; first, pre-
vention of erosion and overflow of
nayigable streams; and, second, it
would store the water in natural reser-
voirs for use on arid lands. The sena-
tors from Montana, Idaho, Kansas and
Nebraska, one after another moved
that their states be included also,
whereupon Chairman Frye remarked
he would raise the point of order if
there was to be no limit of states
named.
Wolcott finally came to Warrens
rescue and said that if Senator War
ren's amendment was to be endanger-
ed he, for one, would withdraw Colo
RADIO from the provisions of the amend
ment. The senators from Kansas and
Nebraska did likewise, but Vest then
raised the point of order that irrigation
matters were not germane to a river
and harbor bill.
Mr.. Allison took the floor and made
strong argument. He said that if any
reference to irrigation was left out, it
would be germane and cited precedents
in support of his contention.
Mr.. Warren agreed to eliminate the
word irrigation" and the amendment
was adopted. 1t only applies to Wyo-
ming and Colorado, however Utah
was originally included in Warren's
but as Mr.. Cannon 6who
was present.
DID NOT LIFT HIS VOICE
in Utahs behalf, the state was omitted
from the provisions of the amendment.
Mr. Warren was warmly congratu-
lated on the success Of his efforts. He
feels that he has accomplished a big
thing for his state.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Thomas Els
trada Palma, the Cuban delegate, has
received the following letter from Gen
eral Maxine Gomez, commander in
chief Of the Cubn army. The letter was
written at the general headquarters OF
the Cuban army at Iquara, being dated
April %. General Gomez says:
In order to make this letter short /
will copy from my diary.

of infantry, cavalry and artillery. l

field.
March 1S-I detach some shooters so
as to compel the enemy to move, plac-
ing myself at the right and trying to
have the Spanish in the rear. The
Spanish do not stir and the light pre-
vents further operations.
April 19-I countermarch, always on
my plan. The enemy advanced, con-
stantly under my fire, and is brought

can hardly move. Not more than three
miles would we advance during the
whole day, and when night comes we
are face to face.
April 20 continue advancing with
nothing to spoil my plans. The enemy
move with the same caution as before.
Night again stops our maneuvers, the
Spanish seemingly not caring to press
very much on US, and l for my part
having in mind the necessity Of spar
ing my men, SO as to march with all
their strength.

a league towards me and abandoning
my steps 1 camped at Iguara, one of
the prominent entrenched forts. In our
march we have described a semi-circle
of almost ten leagues in diameter and
that has taken US more than three
days. l am told that the Spanish col
umn is under Colonel Martin and, not
withstapding the many years of cam
paign that have made me familiar with
the Spanish cruelties and atrocities in
Cuba, 1 have felt greater disgust and
horror than ever before for this col
umn'S work
They have sacrificed numberless
heads of cattle, not even sparing the
young. To deprive US of horses they
kill all that comes within their reach,
young and old, good and bad. To COM
plete the cruel proclamation ordering
the concentration Of the peasants, thus
forcing them to abandon their homes
and take refuge in the towns, whether
provided for or not, their houses have
now been ordered to be burned, and
their cattle to be killed.
All this with their customary hypoc-
risy they describe as having been ac-
conrplished by us. 1 am fully conf
dent of the success of our summer cam
paign and have no doubt that we shall
continue receiving your valuable sup
port, both materially and morally,
through your efforts near the American
government. 1t is useless to say any
thing about the operations in general.
The reading of the Spanish press is
enough to show which of the two arm
les leads the campaign, and which is
on the offensive.

THIS is TOUGH.
Rnmsey's Bondsmen Have No Claim
Upon His Estate.


CARLYLE, Ills, May 12-Judge
Wall, of the circuit court, has decided
that the ten Chicago bondsmen of the
late state treasurer, Ramsay, are not
entitled tt reimburse themselves out
of his estate for $363,O0O they paid into
the state treasury to make good his
deficit. The court held that the lend
ing of state funds to the banks by
his sureties to be Illegal, and to be
against public policy and that the ar
rangement with his bondsmen tended
to malfeasance in office. According to
this opinion, the bondsmen are liable to
prosecution under the criminal code
and it is said the Carlyle creditors of
the state treasurer will attempt to have
the l0ondsmen indicted for conspiracy.
The opinion was filed in the case of
John Witbeck and other general credi-
tors, who sought to prevent the allow
arce of the bondsmen's claim against
the estate. The ten bondsmen, who
are bankers and representative bank
ers are: John H. Witbeck of the Fort
Rea1born National Bank; John A
King, of the Fort Dearborn National
Bank; John r. Welsh and Andrew j.
McNally Of the Chicago National Bank;
Edscn Keith and Ellridge B. Keith of
the Metropolitan Bank; Charles l..
Hutchins and Ernest A. Hammil of the
Corn Exchange Bank; William Ham
monti, and F. S. Dreyer- of the Ma
tional Bank of Illinois.

MoRA's VIEWS.

Doesn't Believe the Competitors
Case Is Serious.
NEW YORK, May pa dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Senior Nora. formerly Liberal minis
ter of foreign affairs, said to the World
correspondent:
Il don't believe now that the Com
petftor case is likely to lead TO an I'M
pleasant tension in the relations with
the United States, as months must
elapse before a new trial can be had.
The American government raised
its objections under the treaty of 1895,
made when we still possessed Florida,
and ought to have been formally abro-
gated, since it hardly applies to our
insular position in Cuba America also
invokes the protocol of 1877, which our
parliament never ratified, so that I
ignored its existence, though I held
office several times as minister of state.
This protocol is an absolute absolute
contradiction to our civil and mill
barry codes. doubt if our tribunals in
the peninsula could recognize it.
THE incident might have been
avoided in several ways-irst by hang
ing the pirates at the yarsiarm, as all
other nations have done. This could be

formed by representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press of story published in
the UNITED States to the effect that
Johnson had been matched to meet
Morin, the French bicyclist last Sun
day and had fiunked at the last mo-
ment. Both Johnson and Eek laughed
at the idea that the former had flunked
a meeting with NORM. They said it
was never intended that the two men
should meet last Sunday. Johnson S
meeting with Jacquelin is fixed for
May II, (neXt Sunday and he feels con-
fident that he will give a good ac-
count of himself then. He expressed
himself as being ready to meet any
one in Europe. Johnson will also race

MADRID, May 12.-At a meeting of
liberal deputies and senators last even
ing, Senior Sagasta admitted the diff
culties attending the immediate appl-
cation of reforms to Cuba and denied
the right Of the United States to rec
ognize the insurgents as belIigerenits,
since, he added, they did nothing but
flee before the Spanish troops, burning
property and committing murders.
Senior Sagasta expressed the belief
that President Cleveland would not &C
cord belligerent rights to rebels who
have no government with a fixed place
of residence, and who do not hold a
fortified position"
Senior Sagasta also promised to sup
port the government in the matter of
expenditures necessary to prosecute the
Cuban campaign and declared the cleo
tons at Madrid and Cuba should be
quashed.
Correspondence says it believes if
Captain General Weyler resigns he will
be succeeded by General Blanco, gov
ernor of the PHILIPPINE islands, who will
proceed to Cuba via the Pacific and
San Francisco.

LONDON, May 12-Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs Curzon in the house
of commons today, said one of the men
captured on the American filibustering

In conclusion, .,lr Curzon said that
