TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
Awful Havoc Wrought By Storm
In Georgia and Alabama.
Twenty Children Killed in an Academy at
Arlington, Ga.-Eight People Drowned
Terrible Stories of Death
and Destruction.

EUFALA, Ala, March 23.-This city
was swept by a cyclone yesterday
morning, in which death and disaster
played dreadful part. Hourly the
record becomes more appalling. Men
were almost caught up from the
streets before they could find shelter.
Shutters, roofs, etc, gave way and for
two hours there was terror and desc
lation, when the cyclone passed off to
the northwest, coursing along the
Chattahoochie valley.
The reports soon coming in told of
the terrible devastation. The town of
Blakeley, in Georgia. was almost
lifted out of existence, and people
seeking refuge indoors were as badly
knocked around by cracking and fall
ing timberS as were those ON the out
side, who were unable to dodge fence
rails and other flying missiles. The
most shocking story of all. however,
was that which came from Arlington,
Early county, Ga. An awful cyclone
swept down upou this place and &C
complished a work of horror that has
never been paralleled in this section of
the country. The bodies of eight chill
dren have been taken from the ruins
of the Arlington academy, and about
dozen others will die. Thirty-fve
children and two teachers went down
in the wrec k of the building, and the
work of removing the dead and injured
is not yet completed. The Arlington
academy, fine structure, lay directly
in the path of the storm. 1t was
knocked into great heap, and the
work of death was done even before
the danger was realized. The structure
was smashed into kindling wood and
the broken timbers and dead bodies
mixed together in sickening con-
fusion. The two teachers, Profs.
Covington and Walker, were re-
moved from the ruins and
they were terribly injured. Walker,
it is thought, will die. People have
not recovered from the awful horror of
the disaster. Nearly every home in
the community has been blighted by
the storms cruel work.

Gov. Bradley was telegraphed to
in the interest of Walling. Jackson
declared that Walling was not guilty
of murder.
jackson was given five minutes to
make a statement and to tell how and
by whom the crime was committed, and
to specify to what extent Walling was
blameless. At the end of five minutes
Jackson stated that he could not swear
that Walling was innocent. This set
tied the fate of both prisoners and in
few minutes the march to the seat
fold was begun.
just before leaving the cell Walling
said: Il will tell you now at the last
moment of my life that was not there
and am innocent of the whole crime.
Jackson has said as much, but it seems
it will not save me. l cannot say any
more. l will say no more on the seat
fold"

Dispatch to a New York Paper Says Cub,
Is Surely Lost to Spain.

LIS surely Lost to Spain.
NEW YORK, March 23.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Only a
few of the more eXcitable Spanish Off
GERS refuse to admit that Cuba is lost
to the Spanish crown. Resident
Spaniards confess they can see no other
outcome. In fact, evidences that Cuba
may in the end be freed by Spanish
residents themselves are many
and strong. The calmest minds
predict the end of Spanish
rule within two years. Some
say not SO soon. others say within one
year. The proposition of Cisneros and
Gomez to buy the island is rapidly
growing in popularity here. Its
warmest advocates are Spanish and
residents hitherto loyal to the crown.
They are the active financial and bust
ness men of the island, the owners of
eight-tenths of its wealth and its
sources of wealth.
