A VERY HARD BLOW.
The Kansas Man Describes a Cyclone That
Was Indeed q Wonder.

Was Indeed Wonder.
The gentleman from Kansas was con-
versing with the lady from New York at o
small kettledrum, or bass drum, or some
thing like that, which is ventuating four
or Eve times a day and once OF twice on
Sunday in the social circles of the capital,
and she was especially interested in the
meteorological movements incidental to the
picturesque and moving climate OF the
SunAower StaE.
your cyclones % she said in such ca
gerness that she almost twittered in her
speech, "are a perfect wonder to me.''
''Yes'm,' - he responded, with the uncer-
tain and retiring manner of the west when
it confronts the east on its native heath,
there's a good deal to 'em. Never seen
one, guess. Did you?''
'No But I should dearly love to"
He looked at her pityingly.
II guess you mean through a telescope
don t your he said.
''I'd love to see one anyway, SO long as
I could only have the opportunity OF seeing
it, she said, without recognizing or real
izing the irony of his speech. "Tell me
something about them. Aren't they mag
nifcent?''
one that swept over our country killed 20
people right in one neighborhood, ma'am,
and the very one where live -
Dreadful Awful How did it hap
pen?''
"Just like they always do, ma'am-
mighty sudden. But this one was suddener
than usual and caught the people away
from their dugouts.' -
"Dugouts?'' she questioned
"Yes'm, dugouts. You see, ma am, for
safety we dig holes in the ground, which
we run into and hide till the fury of the
storm is past. In this way our lives are
saved dozens of times every year. These
holes sometimes like a cistern, only
not so deep, and they haven't any lining
or anything in them. They're just holes
in the ground, that's all Well, in my
neighborhood, where this last one was SO
fatal, guess there was about hundred
dugouts, and when the storm come it come
so quick that before the people could get
to them the cyclone had blowed every darn
one of them holes clean out of the ground
and over into the next county. OF course
that left the poor people without any pro-
lection, and the wind done about as it
pleased with them. -
Couldn't they get them back againP"
asked the lady, as guileless and sympathetic
as women always are.
''To be certainly, ma'am. But you see
it couldn't be done in time to save the peo-
FEe." And the gentleman from Kansas
seemed to show a faint culver in his lip as
he turned away to hide his grief.-Wash-
ington Star.

MASSING AT HAVANA.

Their Forces Near the Capital

Gently attacked and entered BIanque-
eel, plundering the store and burning
the store buildings, as we'll as 126 pri-
vate dwellings. They also pilIaged the
store at Venocia plantation and the
stores at CanO, burning the buildings at
the latter place A large number of
houses were also DESTROYED These adj
vices also report extraordinary activity
on the part of a large number of in
surgents in that district It is thought
that there are more insurgents in that
section than ever before, among them
being many Cubans who were with
Maceo in the province of Pinar del Rio.
A report has been received here at Ha-
vana that Calixto Garcia, the Cuban
leader is about to embark at Ell Ha-
bineoro, near Guanaquil, and that he
intends to leave the island. This re-
port, however, cannot be confirmed,
and it is given as a mere rumor.
The insurgents in Havana province
are concentrated on the heights in the
vicinity of San Jose de Las Lajas In
surgents from the provinces of Matan-
zas and Santa Clara have also concen-
trated in the mountains since the march
of Captain General Weyler with 900
men through those sections Captain
General Weyler yesterday continued
his movement through Santa Clara
On the night OF February 7, while the
chief officers of the garrison at Bahia
Honda were giving a banquet to the
well known philanthrOpic English lady
Mrs. Catalina Gonzales, and her niece
Elsi, members of the Red Cross society,
the Insurgents attacked the party and
discharged a vOlley over the dining
hall. A shower of balls passed through
the room and over the heads of the
banqueting party. Other bullets pierced
holes in the tables and chairs. Lieu

Chicago, Feb. u.-Chicago packers
exporters and provision dealers have
united in an association for a safe pro-
lection against European trade hostil-

in Switzerland antagOnism to American

/ Manufacture of beer will>be commenced.
- Mr.. Isodore Newman, Sr, of New Or
leans, came into possession of the plant
of the defunct Birmingham brewery some
time ago, and recently sent experienced
men here to report the condition of the
machinery. The report was found salts
factory, and SIS, 900 has been appropriated
to place the plant in condition to manu-
facture the best beer.
Mr. J. l.. Knoepfier, of New Orleans,

eral manager will be Mr.. Knoepfler, and

The new ice machine, with a capacity of
thirty tons for every twenty-four hours,
will be placed in position in a few days.

large number of men went to work
yesterday morning cleaning up the build
ing and surroundings preparatory to put
ting in the machinery which will begin to
arrive in a few days. The men thus
far employed are Birmingham workmen.
1t will take quite while to place every
thing in order but it is expected that
the plant will be started up on the man
ufacture of beer in just sixty days.
Mr. Knoeppler will leave tonight for
Cincinnati to secure the ice machine and
whatever other pieces needed. He will
return later and move his family to this
city to a home he intends to purchase
on the South Highlands. He will be
general manager of the plant.
Mr.. Kineella, the chief engineer is To-
Gated permanently in the city and will
bring his family here to reside with him.
The plant will be known as the Ala

perienced brew masters. 'egzs'.-
