The Remarkable Weather.

The apl are 1t collapse of the sum
mer at its very opening must not be re-
garded as foreshadowing necessarily a
cool season Our summer heat is, in fact,
the product of two great agencies of equal
potency-thy direct solar radiation and
the water vapor distributed over the CON
timent by the winds blowing from the sea
into the interior. 1t is too early in the
season for the latter to get in its work
But after the sun reaches, on the 21st, the
limit of his annual northward movement,
and the rich southerly winds begin to
spread their ocean-vapor over the whole
country from the Gulf coast to the Do
mininn, the illusion of temperature def
cit will probably vanish.

and twenty stores devastated, leaving
1000 people homeless and half as many
destitute.
Thousands Of dollars have been sub
scribed to aid the afflicted and is being
distributed with good effect under the
direction Of the Guthrie club. The
damage along the Cimarron river east
is very extensive. and hundreds OF
farms have been devastated along Deep
Fork in Lincoln county. The Santa Fe

1t will be several days yet before the
road is opened south. The approaches
to the new bridge across the Cimarron
river are crumbling away and passen-
gers were transferred by boats.
It Is impossible to accurately estimate
the loss to property and crops. The
damage to property will be in the neigh
borhood Of 100000. while that sustained
in crops may equal or perhaps double
that amount.
An attempt was made to poll the resi-
dents Of West Guthrie yesterday after

Pittsburg. April 30.-The eleventh an

a stop to the ceremonies. The club had
made great preparations for the event

management wished to secure a photo

attempt to secure O fiash-light picture
an explosion occurred which was quick
ly followed by flames that practically
destroyed the entire decoration Of the
hall.
Men were at once put to work to re-
move the debris and the banquet was
delayed only about an hour, the disman-
tied condition Of the room proving but a
slight detraction from the evenings en-

AUTONOMY FOR THE CUBANs.

Synopsis of the Reform Provided by the
Decree of the Queen Regent.
Washington. April 30.-The announce
ment from Madrid that the queen regent
has signed a decree applying the re-
form laws to Cuba is considered by Of
ficials here as a realization of the plans
under negotiation for many months to
give Cuba an autonomous form of gov
ernment, or home rule. The home rule
plan about to be applied was made pub
lie in detail by Minister Dupuy de LONE
on Feb. 6 last. A council Of adminis-
tration is created for the government of
the affairs Of the island. This council
will be in the nature Of a parliament
made up Of thirty-one members, a ma
jority Of them being elected by the Gu
bans and a lesser number appointed by
the throne The council Of administra-
ton is given practically supreme control
Of the island. subject to certain SUPER
visory authority by the home govern
ment. One Of the most important feat
urcs Of the plan is that allowing Cuba
to revise her tariff schedules.
The reform law was passed March IL,
1895, but never applied to Cuba owing to
the uprising. On last New Years Day
1t was promulgated by the queen regent
and gazetted in Havana as a concession
of the New Year. Its application was
still withheld, however, until General
weyler could announce that the island
was pacified On the kings fete day
the plan was amplified. The decree signed
by the queen yesterday appears to be
the last step toward actually applying
the law to Cuba
