GRASSHOPPERS!
WELL, SOME
Florence Visited by Millions of
the Hopping pest
CAME IN FROM THE EAST

Last night more than the usual
number of grasshoppers began to
be noticed, and about 9 O'Clock
the air was thick with them. The
arc lights were the places where
| they oongregated most and at
l:30 there were six inches of
them on the depot platform.
No. 3 was delayed 10 minutes in
the yards here, on account of them
and the rails had to be swept and
sanded before they could move.
The crunch, chunch of people
stepping upon them is heard, and
it is impossible for a person to
walk on the streets without step
ing them.
In the cellar way at Sill Braden's
saloon they were seven inches
deep this morning and the en-
frances to this office, were simply
moving masses OF animated hop
pers.
Even in the palmiest days of
grasshoppery Kansas, the like was
never seen. Firemen had to get
down and throw dirt under tho
wheels in order to start their en-
gines. Business houses must
needs keep their doors shut in
order to keep out the everywhere
present pest, and still they come.
Trees ana lawns and gardens
are likely to suffer if the pests do
mot soon leave. but no word has
been Eeseixed .of ant injury to
crops from the grasshoppers as
yet.

commanded by General Miles in person, though General Brooke, now in com mand at Camp Thomas, is expected to be his main dependence. The size of the expedition will depend upon General Miles wishes, although 1t is be- lieVed that 25,000 men will be sufficient for the purpose. At San Juan the navy will be of greater assistance than it was at Santiago, owing to the possi- bility of approaching the town more closely without rislling contact with mines. General Brooke is now on his way to Washington by direction of Sec retary Alger, so that he will be in position to make his views known to the department. The experience gain ed in dispatching Shafter's expedition, it is expected will aid the officials in their determination to make short work of the Porto Rican affair. There will be plenty of transports available for the expedition as the government has de- Vised other means of removing the Spaniards captured at Santiago to Spain than by carrying them on these transports. That the navy is ready to do it's share at short notice goes with out saying. Porto Rico is not expected to offer very formidable resistance. It is believed that the moral effect of to-day's surrender at Santiago will be to discourage the defenders of San Juan. There is, however, always the prospect that peace may ensue before hostilities have progressed against Spain's easternmost West India island.

May De Serious.

London, July 15.-The Daily Mails Hong Kong correspondent cables that is is "now known here that Admiral Dewey ordered the correspondents at Manila not to give the full story of the Irene for fear of rousing feeling in America which might lead to compli- cations with Germany. When the full details transpire it will be seen that the incident was more serious that it at first appeared to be. As soon as the American ships came to the scene of action the Irene slipped her cable leaving her anchor in the bay The American consul, Wildman, refuses to say more than this, taking the same line of policy as Admiral Dewey. It Is believed by those who know Dewey that on the arrival of the Monterey and the Monadnock he will insist upon his harbor regulations being carried out to the letter.

SIX KILLED, e6 INJURED.
Result of Boiler Explosion at Starch
 Works i'm Buffalo.

Buffalo, July 14.-By the explosion of a boiler in the Niagara starch works at D. m., the building was wrecked, six persons were killed and twenty-six injured. Two others are missing. The dead include: William Kelley, the en- gineer, and Henry Schiffernstein, the firemen.
 The causes which led to the explo- sion of the boiler will never be known, owing to the death of the engineer and fireman. At 5 o'clock everyone in the neighborhod was startled by hissing sound coming from the factory. This was followed instantly by a deep roar and jarring of the earth and then the ripping of timbers, the wrenching of iron and shower of falling bricks. As the cloud of dust rolled book from the ruins it was seen that large sec- tion of the building and the boiler house was in ruins. Of the six per- sons who were in the building only two escaped. Most of the injured were per- sons outside of the building.

Had it not been for the fight for the position for president the work would now be all over. The oratorical feature of the day was a short but patriotic address by ex-President Woodmansee of Cin- cinnati, who spoke of the war as not one of parties, but of the people, yet he gave to President Mckinley great cred it for the wisdom he had displayed in the conduct of the affairs with Spain. The rest of the time was devoted to the reports of the standing commit tees.

PORTO RICO NEXT
And Then, Says Secretary Alger, if Need
 be, Havana.

Washington, July 14.-"Next to Porto Rico" said Secretary Alger after re- ceiving news of Santiago's formal sur render. "and then if need be, Havana" The secretary was in excellent spirits. He has been more anxious than he dared show as to the condition of sick American soldiers and looked with ap- prehension upon the possibility of nrolongation of the struggle in the unhealthy valley of Santiago. The sec retary said that the Porto Rican eXpe- dition would go forward immediately. If will comprise new men entirely. The warriors in the trenches before San tiago have distinguished themselves and it is not deemed prudent to bring them in unnecessary contact with new troops. in view of the danger ot spreading contagion. The sick soldiers will be nursed back to health and brought to the United States as soon as they can be safely removed. I'm Y,une regiments will be ordered to San tiago to garrison the town and two ot these regiments are already under or ders to proceed.
 The Porto Rican expedition will be
