The Most Severe Snow Storm in Twenty
Years Strikes Wyoming.
LARAMIE, Wyo., April 1.-The most
severe snow storm in twenty years has
struck this section, doing immense
damage to cattle and sheep. Business
here is practically suspended, and
Wednesday even the daily papers
were not issued. On the main
streets the snow in places is ten
feet high, while residences on the
outskirts of the city are in some in
stances completely buried by drifts.
Several buildings collapsed in conse-
quencc of the weight of the snow
which covered their roofs. Storms ex-
tends from Medicine Bow to Pine
Bluffs, Wyo. a distance of 175 miles.
Laramie and Sherman Hill appear to be
the very center of the storm belt All
freight trains on the Union Pacific
have been suspended for the past As
hours, and officials are making strenu-
Gus but apparently futile efforts to
keep passenger trains moving. Train
master Culross, of the Union Pacific,
hopes to have trains moving some
time Thursday. On Sherman Hill
the big rotary snow pillow has
been kept moving all day plow-
ing through drifts fully 20 feet
high in numerous places Several snow
plows are working west of here, max
ing an cndeayor to keep the main
lines open.

THE TROOPS
Are Being Quietly Withdrawn From
Cuba by Spain.
Capt. Gen. Weyler Issues a Procla ma ton
Announcing the Pacifcation of the
Isiand-W eyIer's Emissaries Again
Make Overtures for Peace.

New YORK, April 5.-As special cable
dispatch to the Journal from Havana,
says:
Weyler's proclamation announcing
the pacifcation of Cuba is known to
be already in the government printing
office here 1t only awaits telegraphic
approval from Madrid to be formally
issued. It's object is believed to be to
mislead Washington and prevent un-
friendly action by congress. For a
month or more small squads of Span
ish infantry listed as convalescents
have been quietly embarked from
Havana and other Cuban ports by reg
ular passenger steamers for Puerto
Rico and the Canary islands, whence
they are transferred to transports
bound for the Philippines.
As fast as interior Cuban posts are
abandoned Weylers men are brought
to Havana to await shipment. 1t is
expected that 200 900 will be EN- barked
in the next fortnight
Private intelligence from Cuban
camps in Sancti Spiritus and Puerto
Principe province, coming through
CubanS of prominence here, gave an
other important reason for Weyler's
| decree, saying IT, u Gomez and the
rebel government have again been APP
preached by the captain general s
emissaries with fresh overtures for
peace on basis of home rule or sale
of the island under an American guar
antee. the Spanish flag to remain until
indemnity is fully paid.
Cubans positively refused to listen to
any proposition, however favora BILE,
unless Spain first withdrew the great
bulk of her troops from the island,
and then acknowledged virtual truce
by retiring her remaining forces from
| the field to the fortified coast towns.
At Weyler,s recent conference in
Cienfugoes with ex-insurgent leaders
of influence, these are understood to
have laid before him Gomez's ultima
tum.

and Cuban planters loyal to Spain,
with property at stake, and fearing to

farce, and. convinced of the futility OF

such ridiculous proclamations, are now

The wanton destruction of American
property by Spanish troops continue
throughout the island. Near Madruga

the regular government forces, set fire

The state is doing all in it's power to

condition of the treasury can afford
little else than the labor of her 500
convicts.
Mr.. j. f. Price, of this city, returned
Friday morning from Leferve, which
is a border county, reports that the
waters have not yet reached there, but
the small streams are all overfiowing
on their own account. The bottom
lands are under water, but blowing
and planting are going right along on
all the higher places, and even down
to the waters edge.
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 3.-The
second break in the lower Louisiana
ievee system occurred this morning on
Bayou La Fourche. Friday afternoon
the break had widened to 100 feet, and
there is no hope that it will be closed.
The break is IS miles below Tribodaux,
where the levees are neither large nor
modern.
In that section there are a large
mum Der of truck farmers who have
well cultivated and extremely fertile
lands. 1t is quite probable that these
unfortunate people will suffer severely
because the crevasse comes too large
for the water to run off for them tc
make another crop.
The situation in New Orleans Friday,
in spite of the brimmingful river, is
not discouraging. The river i S rising
slowly and it will continue to rise for
eight or ten days more. The high wa
ter here is several inches short of the
record of 1898. The authorities are on
the alert and have all prepared to meet
