Supported by Great Britain.

A letter written by an intelligent Japan
csc official in Japan to a former Japanese
officer living in Los Angeles, CAL, con-
veys the information that the japanese
Government will forward to Honolulu
1000 Japanese emigrants. Those indl-
yiduals are now in the garrison at Nee
gaia, being soldiers in the Japanese SER
vice, and will go on shore in Honolulu as
simply citizens, but drilled and ready for
military duty at once. The steamers
which are to convey these men have been
chartered by the japanese Government,
and carry, in addition to the 1900 passen-
gers, arms, ammunition and military
stores of sufficient quantity to make it in
teresting for any party trying to prevent
their landing. In addition, three large
men-of-war are already prepared to leave
Yokohama. to arrive at Honolulu about
the same time as the landing of the So
called emigrents will take place. 1t is
an open secret on the Asiatic coast that
the admiral in charge of the English fleet
there will find it convenient to order some
of his ships to cruise in the vicinity of the
Hawaiian Islands about that time, and
the game of bluff to be played by the Jap
anese will be backed by English blue
jackets, if necessary.

Killed in Battle.
Oyerrun by Criminals.

Police Chief Sigwart of Omaha, Neb.,
has been requested to hand in his resigna-
ton as the first step in reforming badly
demoralized police force. For some time
the city has been overrun with thugs,
thieves and the most daring class of high
waymen. The police appear to have been
wholly unable to detect the criminals.
The attack upon Count John y. Creigh-
ton at the very door OF his home in the
heart Of the city was the browning work
Of the daring criminals. The chief has
not yet officially announced what he will
do, but privately has said he would force
the commission to remove him by ming
charges, as the new charter requires. Ike
Gently the chief of detectives was dis
charged. He began proceedings in in

commission has another big fight on its
hands. Martin J. White, formerly po-

Terrible Slaughter of brazilian Sol
diers by Fanatics.
A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, says that au-
thentic information has reached that city
to the effect that more than 5000 soldiers
have been killed in big battle near the
site of Canudor The fanatics, number
ing more than 10000 men, all well armed,
attacked the Government troops. Whole
brigades of the soldiers were swept down
and destroyed, trampled under foot as the
victorious fanatics, with wild, hoarse
shouts Of triumph, passed over them. Inc
full EXTENT of the loss of life cannot now
be told. There is no reasonable doubt,
however, that the loss in killed on both
sides is more than 5000. For miles the
ground around Canudor is streWn with
the dead and dying, the Government
troops being compelled to leave their dead
on the field and flee to save themselves
from complete destruction by the ava
lanche of the fanatics. When the report
of the awful battle reached Rio Janelro
it was considered by the president ana
ministry and it was decided to send the
minister of war to the scene next week
with 4 900 men, who are now gathering.
They will carry with them a great store
of ammunition and will endeavor to dis
lodge the fanatics from the positions they
now hold. Fighting has been i'll progress
at Canudor for several weeks. In the
meantime, while the fanatics fought APP
parently with little heart, they have been
gathering their forces from all directions.
The result was the final attack on the
Government troops, which led to such
awful results.

arms against the Spanish Government,

by the tribunal to Imprisonment for lie.
At the close Of the trial the Government
prosecutor asked that sentence OF deatn

sentence until Wednesday, when 1t rec
commended life Imprisonment. 1t IS ne-
lieyed that the mitigation of the sentenss
of Young Fernandez is due entirely to the
great interest taken by Consul Genera
Lee in the case and the strong plea mace
personally by him to Captain General
Weyler. Fernandez, whose father is

Soldiers on Wheels.

The Twenty-fifth United States Infan-
try bicycle corps reached st. Louis, COM
pleting their 2,OOO-mile ride from Fort
Missoula, Mont.,s in 40 days, 35 of which
were actually spent on the road. Inc
corps left Fort Missoula, Mont, on June
IA. % in number. In the party were
Lieut.. Moss, Surgeon Kennedy, Edward
II. Boos, the official reporter, and ~
soldiers, selected from the four companies
stationed at Fort Missoula. During the
trip one of the men was returned to Fort
Missoula, on account of not being able to
keep up. The first twelve days of the trip
were rainy and disagreeable, but good
time was made, nevertheless. 1t was
during these days that the main DIVIDE
of the mountains was crossed, as well as
the greater part of Montana. There were
Il few pleasant days while the troops We're
in Montana. While crossing the Grow In
dian reservation heavy rains prevailed,
and the corps was stuck in the gumpo
mud much of the time. All the way across
Wyoming rain hampered the progress OF
the company, and many hardshlps arose
from lack of good water. The southwest
ern corner of South Dakota was crossed
two days being occupied in that State.
The sandy roads were awful, ana tue
prairie beside the road was held OF
prickly pears, making travel on the wheels
very careful and tiresome work. "A
stretch of good but hilly road was struck
after leaving Edgemont, and the run from
that point to the Nebraska line was made
in short order. The corps passed through
Grand Island, Lincoln and Table ROCK
in Nebraska, and out of that State into
Missouri ON July II at Rulo. AS whole,
the roads through Nebraska are good, but
far from being level, Short, steep hills be-
ing continually encountered. The roads
across Missouri were bad and billy, and
with the exception of Il few gravel roads
were the worst on the entire trip. Away
from the railroad the country residents
We're inhospitable, and no reliable infor-
nation regarding the roads could be gain
ed. The distance covered on the trip was
1000 miles, the average run per day be-
ing 80 % miles. After leaving the Ne
braska sand hills the average was over
60 miles per day. The riders stood the
trip remarkably we'll, but few accidents
of q serious nature having occurred. Ac-
cording to Lieut. Moss, the trip was
success from a military point of view.

Avoid Trouble with Strikers.
The sheriff of Woodford County, ILL.,,
telegraDhed to Coy. John II. Tanner ask
ing for State troops, as it was stated that
strikers in large numbers were marching
to Roanoke to compel the miners to quit
work. The Governor refused the request,
as no trouble had occurred, but asked to
be notified in case Of disturbance. The
night was one such as Roanoke or Wood
ford county never witnessed before. All
night long Sheriff G. A. Robson and his
posse Of seventy-fve armed deputies pa
trolled the town and kept guard around
the company's property. About 4 o'clock
in the morning the lights from the march
ing men were seen up the Santa Fe
tracks north of Roanoke and about mile
away the men stopped to investigate as to
what kind of reception they would re-
ceive. The party was made UP of 400 or
500 men from the mines at Minonk, Rut-
land, Wenona, Streator and Ioluca. The
threats made by these men were that
serious damage might result IL they Wis
tied the place and much uneasiness was
felt in every quarter. Just after day
lgiht the visitors sent a committee to con.
suit with the officers of the company. 1t
is understood that they informed them
that they would remain there until their
demands were complied with. The com.
pany then decided to suspend operations,
giving in completely to the demands Of the
miners from the neighborlny towns. Their
point gained, the men LETT Roanoke quiet

destruction Near San Jose.

A cyclone of terrific energy swept across
The region around San Jose, ILL.,, at Z
o'clock Friday evening and left destruc-
+ion and death in it's wake. AT midnight
seven deaths were reported and three per-
sons were severely injured. 1t is prob
able that there were other casualties In
outlying districts.
After a day of terrible heat, the clouds
began to pile up in fantastic forms at
about O'clock and the air grew thick ana
oppressive. The heavy clouds in the north
especially grew dark and darker. Every
one instinctively feared the coming or q
cyclone. About Z o'clock darkness fell
suddenly upon the earth, broken here ana
there by vivid lightning. Soon, with
rush and roar, came tornado from the
north, carrying with it boiling and tossing
clouds. Every one ran for place OF
safety, many seeking refuge in cellars.
San Jose escaped damage only because
the storm rose north of the town and
passed above it.
Half an hour after the passage of the,
storm messenger came galloping into the
town on foaming horse. He reported
that terrible destruction had been wrought
on the farm of A. G. Mcdowell, two and
one-quarter miles north, and summoned
the assistance of surgeons.
A terrible scene was that at the home
of the McDowells. The cyclone had
struck the farm at it's northern line and
swept across it, cutting a pathway of
destruction. The Mcdowell homestead
was utterly demolished, the house being
blown from it's foundation and torn to
fragments, it's timbers and furniture scat
tered to the four winds. The barn had
shared the same fate, and its contents
blown out of sight. The seven occupants
of the house were killed, and their man
gled and torn bodies were scattered about
the ruined homestead. Three injured
were taken from the ruins.
