Amount OF Damage I'm
Many states.

Chicago, June 2. - The storm OF wind
and rain which swept over several Of
the states Friday night and early Sat
urday morning was one OF the most Sc
we're experienced for several years, and
in many localities great damage was
done. A cyclone swept through the
wheat region Of North Dakota, laying
in waste hundreds of thousands of
acres Of growing wheat. Following the
cyclone came storm of hail, rain and
lightning, which cost several people
their lives and resulted in many Guild
ings being wrecked. Another center
was in southern Wisconsin, Illinois and
Iowa, and there the property loss
amounts TO many thousands of dollars.
Buildings were unroofed or RACED TO
the ground, railroad tracks and bridges
washed out, big trees broken or uproot-
ed and the growing crops beaten into
the ground. With the wind and rain
came an electric display seldom
equaled. Many buildings were struck
by lightning. although few people were
killed. Stock suffered to n considerable
extent, however.

newspapers here are changing their
tone to friendship for America aud now

OF the United States over Spain will

which will eventually result In a conflict
with Great Britain.

places the number Of dead in the en-

wounded as between 20 and so. No at
tempt has yet been made to prepare an
official list with the names OF the dead

dicult to find the bodies.
The bodies OF 30 Spaniards have been

heavier than the American.

is twenty feet longer and about three feet

The best features of the Indiana class.

structiOn of the kearsarge and Kentucky,
of putting the S-inch guns in turrets SUI
perimpoSed on the turretS carrying the
13-inch guns, caused a great deal Of adj
verse comment, the objections being based
principally on the danger of having all
four guns thrown out of service by one
successful shot. This danger has been
avoided in The Wisconsin by emitting the
S-inch gun from the armament leaving
the heavy turret unhampered, and greatly
increasing the weight and efficiency of the
secondary battery. Another Improvement
is the adding of an additional deck for the
