Chicago, Oct. 5.-A special to the
Record from Tacoma, Wash, says:
THE steamer. Victoria, brings news
OF the most disastrous floods that have
visited China for many years. sixty
villages near TuEg Chou containing
over $4,000 inhabitants have been des-
troyed by floods and the people
drowned or forced to flee. There are
no means of finding how many thou
sands have been drowned, but the
number is estimated by the Chinese
authorities at from $4,000 to 10000.
The flooded district is within Il miles
of Pekin, the capital city of China, The
survivors from villages nearest to Pc
kin have been allowed such shelter as
they can find within the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain which continues to
fall. The distress of these people is
most %pitiable. Public spirited and
wealthy men in pekin and Tung Chou
are actively assisting the authorities
in providing them with food,
Early in September there was an
other uprising in FoImosa. 4 battle
took place which resulted in the kill
ing of 200 rebels and many Japanese
soldiers.
THE explosion of a steam launch
neal Bangkok resulted in the drown
ing of ten persons and the fatal in
Jun Of six, including Prince Chairat
and wife who died the next day! Tho
prince was closely related to the king
of Siam"

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Foul Murder Committed South of
Superior.

West Superior, Wis, Oct. 5.-Joe
blackburn, aged 10 years, well known
as an Indian trader and settler. was
found by a party of Indians lying dead
In his own blood at his cabin ten
miles southeast of Gordon. a station
forty miles away There is no doubt
that the old nan was murdered and
that he was shot from ambush, the
rifle ball of the assassin piercing his
brain. Blackburn was one of the old
est settlers of this county. He came
here forty years ago from Cincinnati
and by shrewd trading with Indians
he had accumulated quite a fortune.
Robbery may have been the motive. as
he frequently had a large sum OF
money at his cabin. Blackburn has a
brother at Shell Lake.

Washington, Oct. 5.-One of the re-
cabinet in Spain, it is believed, will
be the granting of amnesty to most, If
o to all, American prisoners held III
Cuba. and the pardon of many Cubans
condemned to Imprisonment in the
island of Ceuta. Pending a completion
of the Sagasta cabinet there has
been no official intimation that such
action would be taken, but it is said
to be a natural and necessary part of
the new Spanish policy involving the
withdrawal of Weyler and the adoption
of more conciliatory plans. The Com
petitor prisoners, it is expected, will
be released early and Miss Cisneros
also. Concerning pending claims, such
as that in the case of DR.. Ruiz, it is
said that a commission will probably
be proposed TO deal with all claims
arising during the rebellion, and there
are limitations that steps toward the
creation of such a com
mission is now under way.
Although there is continued reticence
at the state department concerning
Spanish-C1ban affairs, it is under
stood hat the government has been
informed that Spain will offer autono-
my to Cuba similar TO that enjoyed by
Canada, and in administration circles
the opinion prevails that If full au-
tonomy is offered it ought to be ac-
copied by the Cubans. The incoming
Sagasta cabinet is welcomed by the
administration, which several weeks
ago was apprehensiye of the possible
early disturbance of our friendly re
lations with Spain.
