 Fake,

Frank H. Gallagher of 357 Oak street was arrested about 12 o'clock last night by Patrolmen Dippold and Gallagher on the charge of being drunk, and were sent to police headquarters. At the station house the prisoner gave evil dence of having been drinking consid- erably, but said that when he was ar rested he was asleep on the doorstep of his own house at 357 Oak street. It was later found, however, that earlier in the evening Patrolman Dippold att tempted to arrest a crowd of drunken men who were making a disturbance on Asylum street near Oak. Four of them were arrested and one got away. This one was Gallagher, and 1t was when he was found at his home that he was arrested for the offense committed ear Her in the evening, the part which he omitted to tell in the tale he unfolded at the station house. The other mem- bers of the gang arrested by Patrolman Dippold were James Cowles, James Mallory, Daniel McNeil and William Cowles. They will all appear in the city court this morning.

DAMAGE FROM THE STORM.
Lightning Struck Many Places Near
 HartfOrd-CrOps Much Damaged.


 Hartford, Conn, July 31.-As addi- tional information is received of the damage caused by the thunder storm of Saturday afternoon it is apparent that the storm was the most destruc- tive that has occurred in this vicinity of late years. Besides the loss sustain ed on account of the many places struck by lightning and the several barns burned, there will also be a. heavy loss from crops that were riddled with hailstones. Fortunately, how ever no fatalities are reported, though there were many escapes bordering all most on the miraculous.
 In the town of Wethersfield already thirty-five places have been traced where the lightning struck and in addi- tion to the places in New Britain, Rockville and Windsor, where the lightning struck, as previously men tioned, it has been learned that three barns were struck and burned in Rocky Hill and five COWS belonging to Sher- man Churchill of Newington. who were gathered under tree, were all killed. At Berlin, COW belonging to George Bunce, that was back of the house. was killed, and a horse belonging to M. B. Jacobs, the brick manufacturer, was also struck and killed. E. I. Cox, the first selectman, had narrow escape
 
 ter the last load and was within very short distance from where it was stocked. when the lightning struck it and it was entirely burned. An iron fence in front of s. F. Raymond's s house was struck though no serious damage was done. A huge elm tree on Swayne's hill, East Berlin, was struck and has been burning all day.

Conclusion of Directors of ElectroIytis
 Marine Salts Company


 Newburyport, Mass, July 31.-The directors of the Electrolytic Marine Salts company held meeting at the cottage of w. R. Usher, the treasurer at Salisbury Beach this evening and issued the following statement to the stockholders: "The story printed in the Herald of July 31 Is, in the minds of the directors, conclusive evidence of a conspiracy on the part of F. F. Jerne- gan, general manager, and C. F. Fish, CT, assistant manager, to defraud the stockholders of the company. They have undoubtedly left the country and disabled the electrical apparatus of plant No. i. AS soon as our suspi- cions were aroused we took the most active measures to apprehend the crIm- inals and protect the interests of the stockholders.
 A considerable sum of money has al- ready been recovered and there is a good prospect of a further large amount. All bills have been paid on pre- sentation and the outstanding liabili- ties are small as only small amount of contract work was awarded Touch ing the secret process of the company it should be said that 1t is yet to be as- certained that it fully is lacking in merit. It is the wish of the directors to meet the stockholders and call fa,, I~

Key West, Fla, July 31-5:40 p. m.-- Reports have reached here that Nuevi- tas, on the north coast of the province of Puerto Principe, Cuba, has been bombarded by the ships of the block ading squadron, evacuated by the Spanish and subsequently, burned. No details are known and the only inform ation of the affair was that given to Captain Maynard of the gunboat Nash vile by the insurgents last Tuesday.
 The only American ships known to have been in the vicinity of Neuvitas lately are the Prairie and the Badger. The latter captured three Spanish ves- sels coming out of Neuvitas harbor and took them to the Dry Tortugas. All were flying Red Cross flags but when boarded were found to contain a num- Der of Spanish soldiers, only three of whom were sick. The Badger is ex- pected here shortly.

 rible Outrages-Conduct of Natives.
 TCopyright 1898, The Associated Press.
 Ponce, Friday, July 29.-No forward movement of the army is now expected for several days. The transports with General Brooke's army corps and the remainder of the First army corps are arriving slowly. Our troops will prob ably remain here quietly until the bulk of the army has disembarked. Only three transports have arrived since yes terday They have just appeared in the offing and only one has been made out. It has on board the Fifth Ohio cavalry.
 General Miles will retain his head quarters at the custom house in the port of Ponce while General Wilson will be in immediate command of the troops in the city. General Wilson pushed General Ernst's brigade, con- sisting of the Second and Third Wis consin and the Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiments, out mile and a half on the military road after dusk last night, re- taining two companies of the Sixteenth to act as a provost guard in the city. Captain Allison has been appointed provost marshal, and with the aid of the local constabulary has preserved excellent order, although almost the en- tire population of the city remained in the streets celebrating the arrival of their American liberators.
 During the night all sorts of wild ru- mors were brought in to General Will son. The first was that the Spanish were to attack the city in force. In view of this a strong line of outposts was maintained by General Ernst and the men slept on their arms. This re- port. however, soon gave way to ru- mors that the Spanish were retreating, putting entire villages, plantation buildings and houses to the torch, mur- dering and ravishing as they went. Some of the wealthy plantation owners of the vicinity became horror-stricken and appealed wildly to General Wilson to dispatch troops to the rescue, but it was manifestly impossible to divide so small a force. None of the reports was confirmed when daylight came, except that the Spaniards were in full retreat. That they indulged in excesses of a crueI vindicative character is doubtless true but the town of Juana Dias, which was reported to have been burned last night, is known to be standing thls morning. General Jose Garcia, who IS in immediate command of the Spanish regulars, not believed to number more than five hundred, was deserted by most of the Spanish volunteers in his command during the night and they be- gan struggling back to the city with the dawn They immediately presented themselves to the provost marshal and surrendered their arms.
