THE TORNADO
Which Tore Through Northwest
Arkansas, Friday Night, Did I'm
mense Damage-.-Seven Lives Lost.

Fayetteville, Ark, May 22.-The tor
nado which passed through portion of
northwest Arkansas Friday night did
immense damage to property and caus-
ed the death of at least seven persons.
Reports of the destruction are COM
ing in slowly, and it is feared that later
details will add other names to the
death list. The storm came from the
southeast, passing through the great
fruit belt of the Ozark fruit region, and
tore its way through the southern end
of Benton county, spending its force in
the White River Valley. Everything in
its path was destroyed, great damage
done near Elm Springs, Lowell and
Midtown, the latter place being entirely
swept away. At Elm Spring houses
were blown down, orchards destroyed
and stock killed. One man who had
sought safety in a cellar was killed by
and the cellar was filed with debris,
crushing the man to death. Two miles
east of Elm Springs man named Bill
ingsworth and his wife were killed
Their house was entirely destroyed and
they were crushed to death ~ the de-
bris. A mile away farm house oc-
cupied by an Italian family was wreck
ed and tie inmates were instantly kill
ed The residences Of w. H. Halcomb
and w. B. Pierson were destroyed.
Twenty houses are reported blown
away in the vicinity of Elm Springs,
but details have not been received. The
storm was less severe in Crawford
county, but one life was lost near Fort
Smith. A Mrs. Nesbitt died from
fright while the gale was at it's fiercest.
The home of w. S. Kimbrough, near
Springdale, was blown down and Kim
brough was instantly killed. Several
other farm houses were blown down
near Springdale and six to eight per-
sons more or less seriously injured.
Some damage was also done at Low
ell, Rogers and Sloan Springs.

QUEER VIEWS
or the Situation Held by the Malrid Cor
respondent Of the London Tihes.


respondent Of the London TiAes.
London, May 22.-The Madrid CORE
spondert of the Times, commenting on
the situations in Cuba, says:
Whether any large number of in
surgents will ever fight for the Amtri-
cans is considered extremely doubtful,
but despite Spain's hope, it is equally
doubtful whether General Maxine Co
mez and the other influential insurgent
leaders will boldly declare against
American annexation. All that can be
said with certainty is that the Cabinet
at Washington has not found and can
not count upon the efficient assistance
from the insurgents which 1t evidently
expected when it rushed into war with
out having an army of occupation
ready.
"Since the ministry has been recon
structed, publicity and prominence are
BEING given by leading organs to GER
tain movements of troops which seem
to indicate an intention to warn all
whom it may concern that Spain is
ready to resist any unjustifiable
schemes of aggression from whatever
quarter they may come. These move
ments have reference to the idea that
Spain may be helpful to the powers in
the event of amy combination against an
AnglO-SaXOn alliance

AMERICAN TROOPS
Are Now on Cuban Soil, or Will Be
in Few Hours.--The Advance
Guard Sailed Last Wednesday.

Chicago, May PA special to the
Record from Macon, Ga, says:
UNLESS some accident has befallen
the United States transport Florida,
there are now United States volunteer
troops on the island of Cuba, or they
will be there within a few hours
From accurate information obtained
here to-day it can be stated as fact
that the first expedition toward Cuban
soil has started, and the outlook is
for a successful trip.
Wednesday. May 18th, the United
States transport Florida left Port
Tampa with several hundred volun-
teer troops on board. The passengers
belong to the regiment of Cuban vol
unteers organized in the lower extrem
ity of Florida some weeks ago. 1t was
thought best to send these men, as
they speak Spanish and are more ac-
quainted with the topography of the
country which it is proposed to invade.
1t cannot be learned what United
States officers accompanied the regi-
ment of volunteers. If this expedition
is a success other troops will be
rushed into the island as soon as pos
sible"

ligious services, the v, = regiments
marched in review, AIDED by its
band. The reviewiA Ger, Brigadier
General Otis, was IN ,nly pleased at
the soldierly bearing of the troops, and
complimented them upon their pro-
ficiency in the evolutions and tactics.
During the balance of the day the
camp Of the First regiment was
A SCENE OF ACTIVITY.
The regiment has been ordered to
break camp and march to the steamer
Peking at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and officers and men were busily
engaged in making final preparations
During the day the last of the regi-
mental supplies were loaded on the
ship and in the morning the First and
tenth will go down together and will
be carted to the transport vessel.
All the soldiers are impatient to start
for Manila, and their ardor does not
seem to be abated by the hard work
OF camp life.
The City of Picking may get away by
tomorrow night, but will probably
not start before Tuesday. The coast
defense vessel Monterey is now lying
| in the stream and will be ready to start
as soon as she receives a supply of
coal. By carrying an adequate load
of coal, the Monterey can reach Homo
lulu, but from that point to Manila
she will have to be accompanied by
a collier or else taken in tow by one
| oe the transport steamers. The steam
ers City of Sydney and Australia may
possibly be ready to sail on Tuesday,
and there is some talk of having them
go with the Peking but it is probable
that the original plan will be adhered
to and that each of these ships will
! sail as soon as ready without waiting
| for any others.

ASSASSINATED.

Cotulla, Tex, May 22.-W. G. Bowen,
one of the most prominent lawyers OF
this town, was assassinated late last
night. Bowen had been down town
for a few minutes after supper, and
on his return about 9 o'clock he was
shot twice in the back, not over twenty
steps from his house. Mr. Bowen was
unarmed. So far, no clue as to the
perpetrator has been found. If caught
the assassin will probably be lynched
by the Infatuated citizens.

THE ARMY GROWS.

Washington, May 22.-Reports "a.
ceived by Adjutant General Corbin up
to IL o'clock tonight indicate that
100000 volunteers have been mustered.
Delay has been caused by the inades
quacy of the militia both in numbers
and in equipment in several OF the
States. Gen. Corbin is of the opinion
that the quota called for will be flied
during the present week, within thirty
DAYS from the time the orders were
sent out to the Governors.
