spread destruction and death, swept
through the western half of the

The approach of the terrific .whirlwind

fierce and driving rain accompanied it.
Late last night it is reported that forty
people have been killed south of town in
addition to the city's death list. Wagons

THE BAN IS REMOVED.
Mckinley Placed by the A. P. A.
Upon the Same Footing as
Other Candidates.

Washington, D. c., May 16.-Today's
session of the American Protective asse-
citation supreme council was the most
interesting of the convention because
the action of the executive committee
of the advisory board in blacklsting Mr..
Mckinley as a presidential candidate
was TO be reviewed. The report of the
advisory board upon the action of its
committee was made to the council late
In the evening.
1t was technically am endorsement Of
the executive committee. 1t asserted IN
substance that the executive committee
was warranted in view of the evidence
presented to it in placing a ban upon
Mr.. Mckinley. But in addition it states
that further examination of this tes-
tlmony by the full board has convinced
the members that the witnesses were I'M
reliable and that their statements were
Incorrect
Therefore, the board concludes, Mr..
Mckinley should be placed upon the
same footing SO far as members of the
A. P. A. are concerned, with the other
candidates for presidential nominations,
and should not be Disseminated against.
Appended to the report was state
ment in writing by Delegate Huddleson
nittee of which he was chairman inter
viewed Mr. Mckinley at his home in
Canton, O., ON the 14th inst, and that
the interview was satisfactory.
The other members of the committee
are stated to have been Delegate Van
Fossen of Washington and e. Il. Zept,
state chairman of Kentucky.
The morning session was devoted to the
consideration of amendments to the con-
stitution in the committee of the whole.
One was adopted to establish the perma-
nent headquarters of the order in Wash
ington and to make it obligatory upon
the supreme president and supreme Sec
rotary to reside here.
A second amendment takes away the
privilege of seats in the supreme coun-
Gil for presidents and past presidents of
state councils, except those regularly
elected to be delegates. The recommen-
dation of Supreme President Traynor
that the right vested in the supreme
president to arbitrarily remove state Of
Tcers be taken away was carried into
effect by another amendment

PLANS OF SILVERITES.
Said that They will Delay Adjourn
ment of Congress for Sew
eral Months.

Washington. u. c., May 1S.-The i'm
pression is growing about the capitol that
the silver men will soon take position
against final adjournment before the ma
tional conventions. The movement en-
braces silver advocates in both houses and
of all parties There has been no formal
agreement SO far. but there has been
general exchange of views, and there is
no doubt that some of the leaders hold
the opinion that it will be wise to post
none adjournment until there shall be OPP
portunity to know what position the con-
ventions will take on the financial ques-
ton.
The present week in the Senate bids
fair to be given up largely to matters
pertaining TO the District of Columbia.
THE consideration of the Dollar Gar
bill will consume considerably more time
and when it Is disposed of the District
appropriation bill will be taken up if it
is not cut out by the conference report on
the legislative act.
The House probably will devote much
of IT'S time during the week to the con-
sideration of conference reports on the
appropriation bills. 1t is expected that
the conference reports on both the naval
and river and harbor bills will be pre-
scented. and on both lively fights are an

AN OHIO TRAGEDY.
Farmer Hess and His Two Sons
Shot and His Home Blown

Fremont. O.. May 16.--A terrible trag
edy occurred last night one mile east of
the village of Lindsay and about eight
miles from this city, in which one man
was killed outright and two sons are i'll
such a condition that death may result
at any moment.
The deed was committed about mid
night and evidently was we'll planned.
At this hour of the night the family of
Jacob s. Hess was aroused by an eX
plosion which shattered their home but
no one was injured. Mr.. Hess and his
two sons Immediately prepared to leave
the house to ascertain the cause and
they had hardly stepped out when Il shot
was fired and the old gentleman dropped
over dead.
Another shot and one of the sons fell
pierced in the breast with a quantity Of
buckshot Again a shot and another
son was wounded. The fiend then es-
capped and thus far has not been cap
tured. Suspicion points strongly to the
deed having been committed by a young
farmer named Louis Billau who has been
desperately in love with the daughter of
Mr.. Hess. but his suit has been strenu-
ously opposed by the father and also the
brothers.
& Lately he has been prohibited from
making calls and this so enraged him
that he has been nearly wild. People
who know the young man think that he
has brooded over the love affair so much
that he has become insane.
The sheriff and posse started at once
to capture the man. but so far have not
been able to locate him. A report
has since been received which says one
of the sons have died and that the other
will probably recover.

government ought to show it's sympathy
with the insurgents and take hand in
the shindy. If he had his way he would
drive the Spaniards out of Cuba entirely
and annex the island to the United
States. He gave the President some.
powerful arguments to sustain that view
Of the case, but the President begged
off, and referred Fighting Bob to
Secretary Olney, who, he said, was look
ing after Cuban business. SO the last
time Capt. Evans was in Washington he,
called upon the secretary of state, and
was introduced by Assistant Secretary
McAdoo of the navy department, who
is also a Cuban sympathizer in secret
Capt. Evans expressed his views with
great freedom to the secretary of state,
as he did to his friend and crony, the
President, and among other things he
said:
Mr. Secretary, the battleship Indiana,
which | have the honor to command,
is the fastest fighting machine afoat and
if you will give the word, will 60 down
to Cuba and with her alone will under
take to clean out the entire Spanish
fleet"
The secretary of state smiled, but re-
manned silent.
'See here, Mr.. Secretary" continued
the captain, earnestly, wouldn't you like
to have me cruise down around Cuba
and bring home a box of fine Havana
cigars?'
81 don't SMOKE" was the secretary's
curt reply.
Capt. Evans bowed obediently to the
decision and said goodby, but he could
not conceal his disappointment. When
he left the secretary's office, he re-
marked in an undertone to Mr.. McAdoo
that if they would only give him chance
in Cuba with his battleship, "no Ian
guage but Spanish would be spoken in
hell for the next five years."

and Almost Annihilated.
Havana, May 16.-Meager details
have been received of an attack made
upon the famous Blatero camp of the
insurgents by Col. Enrique Seguras col
umn, which was admittedly severe for
the Spaniards. The official report, how
ever, places the loss of the troops at
only one lieutenant and four privates
killed and one captain and twenty-seven
privates wounded, while the reported loss
of the insurgents was fifty-nine killed,
left on the field, and estimated 100
wounded carried off
The insurgents allowed the column to
advance until part had entered a defile
close under the heights, the cavalry and
baggage train being, however, still in
the rear. In moment the heights
blazed with a sudden fire of musketry
and there was hurled down upon the
heads of the troops a deadly shower of
dynamite bombs and shells. which ex-
ploded in the ranks of the Standards.
