Encountered the Storm.

PHILADELPHIA hurricane which
swept the Windward islands on Satur-
day last was encountered on Sunday
morning by the Norwegian steamship
Avona, which arrived at this port Fri
day. Capt. Frostada, master of the
Avona, states that there were baromet-
ric indications before the storm struck
the vessel and he was therefore not
unprepared to meet it, but it was nee
essary to heave the vessel to, to avoid
serious consequences. The storm
sprang up from the southeasterly on
Sunday and lasted until the ne15 day,
when there was an intermission of a
dead calm lasting for six hours. After
that the hurricane ragged with renewed
vigor. Capt. Frostada believes that
many vessels foundered and will neve,
be heard from.

O.. Court Room.
DALLAS Texas. "A special to the
News from Kaufman, Texas, says: CA
terrible tragedy occurred in the open
court about 2 o'clock Friday. Bob
Taylor, an epileptic, walked into the
court room with large knife open in
his hand, and Sheriff Jim Keller went
to him and tried to get 'Taplor to give
up the knife. Taylor made lunge at
Keller and cul cash about three in
ches long on Kellers left jaw, which
went clear through and into the
mouth. He cut another cash in kel-
left shoulder and down his left side,
just through the skin. Sheriff Keller
and Constable J. w. Montgomery be-
gan shooting and Taylor fell mortally
wounded with four bullet holes
through his body. Taylor had, just

MEXICAN CONGRESS
Opened by President Diaz, With o Long
and Important Message.

mexico CRY. President Diaz open
ed congress Friday evening, and his
message was long and important one,
touching on the relations with the
United States, yellow fever in the Gulf
ports, finances and the general growth
of the country. He said that peace
and friendship characterized all the
relations of Mexico with foreign ma
tons.
The government of the United
States has notified the Mexican govern
ment of the suspension of hostilities
between the country and the kingdom
of Spain, the announcement of which
was received with the liveliest interest
by the. government of Mexico, which
has deeply regretted the struggle be-
tween the two nations, friendly to
Mexico. The government has en-
deavored to maintain the strictest neu-
trality during the conflict, and took
immediate measures to conserve on
impartial attitude. It was doubtless
owing to these measures, that, not
withstanding one or two more or less
serious incidents, no controversy or
difficulty arose with either belligerent
power.
Mexican engineers of the water
boundary commission on the United
States frontier have completed their
plans of the Rio Grande river from
Rio Grande City to its mouth, which,
as was before stated to congress, will
facilitate in eliminating difficulties as
to the jurisdiction in which the stream
alternately places on differe mt sides Of
the river.

Mob After TOral.

Woo, SpA1N.-A crowd Of about 700
people besieged the house of Gen.
Toral today, demanding that the troops
which arrived here Saturday from
Santiago on board the Leon XIII,
be Immediately landed. They pro-
ceeded to the quays cheering the
troops and were with difficulty dis
persed by soldiers of the garrison.
Afterwards a crowd of about 1900
people returned to the quays and when
they saw the soldiers landing bare
footed and nearly naked, they became
Infatuated and surrounded Gen.
Toral's house, hooting and kissing and
stoning the building. Eventually the
Spanish general succeeded in escaping
to the Leon XIII. On learning this
the mob gathered on the docks and
stoned the steamer for half an hour,
smashing the cabin windows. The
Leon XIII was obliged to leave the
place where she was moored.

Unparalleled Destruction.

KINGSTON, JAMA1oA-The hurricane
of Sunday was undoubtedly the worst
visitation of the kind experienced by
the West Indies during the century,
both in violence and extent. The hur-
ricane swept along the island from
Barbados westward to st. Vincent,
and thence northwest to st. Kits,
where it was last heard from. Details
received from st. Vincent show that an
unparalleled destruction of life and
property has taken place there. Out
of o population of Al, 900 persons 300
were killed and 90, 900 were injured and
rendered homeless. Besides this, ow-
ing to the complete destruction of the
provisions they are oil starving. The
island has been almost absolutely gut
ted by the wind and floods. There
has been great loss to shipping along
the route of the cyclone.

Our Policy of Empire.

LoNDoN.-How the United States
will administer it's new possessions,
and how large these possessions, will
continue to be the subject for consid-
cradle speculation in the European
newspapers. David Christie Murray
writes: "The republic has drawn
upon her shoulders the mantle Of en-
pire, and has taken the scepter of en-
pire in her hands, and has set upon
her own head the crown of empire,
and the whole world knows that it is
the richer for the fact. 1t is one Of
the most momentous historical hap
penings of modern years, and is full
of good augury for the progress of the
adaptive and inventive spirit of the
land we know we'll already, and that
she will conform herself to her new
duties, all men who are really &C
quainted with her people are assured
beforehand"

Iineman's Horrible Fate.

JACKSON, TENN.-R. P. Simmons, q
lineman for the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph company, met horrl-
BILE death here Saturday morning. he
had climbed telephone pole to repair
a cable which had been burned ny q
line wire from the electric cars. He
touched the cable, which was alive,
and 400 volts of electricity passed
through his body. He fell across the
wires, and then plunged, head fore,
most, to the graveled street, about
twenty feet below, and was instantly
killed. He leaves wife and little

North Atlantic Squadron Reorganized.

WASHINGTON. Secretary Long has
issued an important order reorganiz-
ing the North Atlantic squadron; The
feet is reduced from force of about
one hundred vessels to thirty-two, the
remainder being detached ready for
disposition in the future. There will
he no change in the flag officers.
Rear Admiral Sampson, though in
Havana on detached duty, will still
remain in command of the second sec
ton of the feet. The reorganization
of the feet is probably the beginning
of the execution of programme for
the reorganization of all forces in the
various stations, which will include
the revival of the European station,
the rehabilitation of the South Allan
tic station and perhaps the creation Of

CONDITION AT SANTIAGO.
The Climate and Lack of Mail Communica.
ton Make the Soldiers Dependent.

Aho OiimaCe anu Lack or Mail Communica.
ton Make the Soldiers Qespondent.
SANTIAGO, Contrary to the reports
that seem to have been circulated in
the United States, reporting that the
American soldiers were dying of star
vation at Santiago-reports that elici-
ted an inquiry from the War Depart
ment regarding the matter-the troops
here have ample meat supplies of every
kind, except in some instances the
fresh meat supplies have been unsatis-
factory.
The fact is that the meat sent here
in refrigerator ships, owing to the de-
lay in unloading, becomes more or less
tainted before it can be used. 1t is es-
timated that at least forty per cent is
quite useless.
Near Santiago there are great fields
of pasturage, and the United States
government would do we'll to send live
beeves here instead of contract meat.
The cost would be less and the salts
faction far greater.
Aside from the sickness that is Incl
dental to acclimatization, the trouble
among our soldiers is chiefly mental
rather than physical, and better mail
service would do much to remedy it.
Scarcely any mail has reached here.
The men, more or less enervated by the
climate and deprived of communica-
ton with their homes and families,
worry, grow Respondent and sick from
suspense.
To nine out of every ten sick SOL
diers at Santiago n letter from home
would be better than medicine.
United States mail boxes are being
put up in the streets, and the office
facilities are ample. All that is
needed is a regular mail service.
Fifty Cubans, who had been en-
ployed about the docks, were placed
on easier work by Lieut.. Hanna. To
his surprise they went on strike, abso-
lutely refusing to work at all. OF
course they were discharged. They
have been paid in rations, and the
opportunity to steal at the docks was
too attractive to be resisted. The
products of their thieying they would
sell to the small dealers, thus adding
to the legitimate results of labor. Be
ing we'll fed seems to render the ordi
nary Cuban indisposed to work.
