MORE TORNADO VICTIMS
LIST OF KILLED AND INJURED IN
ARKANSAS INCREASING.
Forty-Three People Dead and Seventy
Hurt at Fort Smith-Many Cas-
uaIties in the Country.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Jan. 13.-The latest
official death list shows total of forty
three lives lost in the tornado which swept
through Fort Smith Tuesday night. Not
less than seventy others are injured, a
large number of whom are seriously hurt,
and several are expected to die. The list
of dead follows:
Gene Grebe, Mary Wilkinson, John r.
Wright, Mrs. N. S. Dodson, William Orten,
Alfred Hosey, Mrs Ida Ennis, James Hoop
Jones, James 7. Griswold, Mr.. Grayson,
Mrs. Grayson, Mrs. Charles Maurer, ]. M.

Carter. Miss Eta Kies, NJ. E. Lefevre,
Walton Knapton, -jr., l.. H. Wohle. Mary
BI5ind5egrman, Mrs NJ Mr. p Knapton, HarYey
Mincer, Charles Lefevre.
The work of removing the debris and ex-
cavation of the ruined buildings progressed
to-day. Five new names were added to the
list of the dead Two bodies We're dug
from the ruins Of the Smith block, from
which eleven had previously been taken.
The full extent of the storm may be COM
pretended from the fact that thirty-tive
miles northeast of the city a quantity of
tin roofing from Garrison-avenue buildings
was found. An unknown woman was taken
from the ruins of the Burgess Hotel to-
day, and was identified as Mrs. Ida Ennis,
of Elm Springs, Ark. Her brother is miss
ing, and it is believed his body is still
buried in the ruins. Business in the devas-
tated districts where the buildings were
only partially damaged was resumed to-
day. Women of the city are at work dis
tributing food and clothing to the needy.
The relief committee, composed of
the prominent business men, find difficulty
in housing the sufferers. One hundred
and fifty buildings were demolished and
will have to be rebuilt to accommodate the
people. Orton and Wright, two of the
dead were Indian Territory farmers, and
had just stepped into the Smith building
for shelter. Memphis, st. Louis. Kansas
City, Little Rock and other cities have
wired readiness to lend aid if necessary. A
census of dead injured and property loss is
being taken The number of dead will not
exceed fifty.

HANNIs TAYLOR AGAIN.
He Urges Agitation i'm Favor of Inter-
ference in Cuba's Affairs.


NEW YORK, jar. 13.-The chairman of
the organizing committee of the Cuban
American League makes public letter
from Hannis Taylor, former United States
minister to SPAIN in which he says:
'In every city of +he United States
Cuban-American League should be instant
Iy formed whose primary purpose should
be to arouse public opinion to demand the
instant passage of the Senate's belligerency
resolution now pending in the House of
Representatives. When that demand is op-
posed by the worn-out technical pretext
that the insurgents are not entitled to- such
action until they have first established a
complete de facto government, the answer
should be promptly made that the law OF
nations demands no such thing; that the
resolution in question need only recognize
the fact that there is now in Cuba a state
OF war. Who can deny the truth OF that
assertion when he remembers that Spain
has hurled in vain against the insurgent
hosts over 100000 men, and mas expended in
vain over $500, COO At the end of three
years Spain's military power in Cuba is
nearly at an end, while the army under
General Gomez is in actual possession of
nearly the entire eastern portion of the
island. And yet, in the face of these facts.
the House of Representatives, muZzled by
the present adminiStra ton. refuses to rec
ogniZe the incontestable fact that a state
of war actually exists in Cuba to-day. That
refusal is now prolonging unnecessarily the
present conflict, and those who are re-
sponsible for ii should be held to account
for the useless sacrifice of human life thus
brought about. In the present desperate
state of the cause of Spain there can be
no doubt that the moral support that the
passage of the belligerency resolution would
give the insurgents would so strengthen
their hand that by the beginning cs sum-
mer Cuban independence could be justly
recognized.
THE supreme duty now devolves upon
the American people to impress upon those
of their rulers who are willfully hndering
the passage of the belligerency resolutions
that their conduct is criminal for two
reasons; first, because it is an open viola
ton of pledges given at the time of their
election; second. because it is a heartless
prolongation of the present situation by
which so many human lives are being sac
rificed for no good purpose whatever"
The Cuban-American League has sent out
q circular requesting the mayor of every
city in the United States and the sheriff
or ranking officer in every county to at
once appoint committee from each ward
in the cities and each township in the coun-
ty to organize local branch of the Cuban
American League.
