A Dam Causes Trouble

st. Cloud, Minn.. Jan. 3O.-Judge
d. B. Searle. OF the district court. has
granted two injuncti.'na against the
removal Of the Cold Spring dam.
which are directed to Anton Mug
gil, owner of the Cold Spring mill,
and about twenty farmers who hold
lands along the Sauk River above
that point. Last summer the FARM
ers living along the river conceived
the idea that II the dam was re-
moved. a good many hundred acres
Of their meadow lands now over
flowed could be restored They ac-
cordingly offered Mr.. MuGgli $5.OtN'
for his dam II he would let them tear
It out. He sold it. and recently the
money passed hands. Now comes
Z. Fl. Kray. who by reason Of the
deep water caused by the dam. has
been able to run summer excursions
up the streams, and objects.
so does Allen Hall. who holds an
$500 mortgage on the mill and
property. Both have secured in
functions returnable here Feb. rs.
The Hall Injunction can be dissolved
by the payment Of the mOrtgag',
which, 1t is said, will he done, but
the other one will probably be Bit
terly contested. All the business
men at Cold Spring have interested
themselves in having the dam re-
tnined. One Of the contentious will
be that the dam was located there
through legislative act and can
not he removed.

LOSSES AT SAN JUAN.
Destruction Caused by SampsOn's
Observation-Disclosures Inhabitants
Leaving the City.

ST. Thomas, Danish West Indies, May
19.-Over 30 Puerto Rican refugees,
mostly women, with very little money,
arrived here Tuesday night on board
the French steamer Rodriguez. 1t is
reported that the governor general of
Puerto Rico has issued proclamation
saying eight soldiers were killed and "a
were wounded as result of the bonn
bardment of the forts at San Juan by
portion of Rear Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet on May IL. He adds that two guns
were dismounted at Moro Castle,
which otherwise were little damaged.
He also says the other forts were not
much hurt. In the town one shot, it is
alleged, penetrated the palace, and the
corner of a powder house was carried
away. No school children were killed.
The Spanish transport, Alfonso MIL,
and the Spanish freight steamer, Man
uela, were damaged by the American
fire. The Spaniards, as usual, claim
they won victory, basing this asser-
ton upon the fact that the American
warships departed under fire. But, the
refugees say, the city of San Juan is
still terrorized, its inhabitants being in
hourly fear of the temperance of the

Chicago, May 10. - Storms of wind,
hail and rain ravaged widespread sec
tons of the northwest Wednesday and
Wednesday night. In eastern Iowa cy-
clones brought death and disaster to
scattered communities, and in Illinois,
Wisconsin and in southern Kansas cy-
clones and high winds leveled frame
buildings, killed some stock and dam
aged crops. Almost all the vast ter
ritory mentioned is rain soaked and
wind blown. The cyclones moved in the
usual narrow path of from 80 rods to 80
feet in width, and swept for distance
Of 20 miles or less.

LOSSES AT cIENFUEGOS.
Three Hundred Spaniards Reported
to Have Been Killed md Many
More wounded.

Key West, Fla, May 20.-The Spanish
loss during the recent engagement at
Cienfuegos is now known to have been
much heavier than at first reported.
Three hundred Spaniards were killed
and several hundred wounded. Great
damage was done along the coast. Soon
after the engagement the United States
cruiser Marblehead picked up several
Cubans in an open boat, some miles
down the coast, including Col. Oriz,
Lieut.. Olvarez and three privates, from
an insurgent camp near Cienfuegos.
They reported that the Spanish losses
and the damage wrought by the shells
from the warship were very heavy. The
hospitals at Cienfuegos, they said, were
full of wounded; and fear prevailed
everywhere that the American war
ships would return to complete the
work of destruction.
During the engagement the Marble
head threw $50 five-inch shells nto the
Spanish forces, and 700 shots from her
second battery, and the gunboat Nash
vile as many more shells, and 1900
shots from her secondary battery.

The blockade of Manila is extremely
