the meeting and excluded a number of

they held a meeting of protest, Colonel

GAGE MANDAMUSED.
Two Suits Growing Out of the Issue
of War Bonds

WASHINGTON, Sept. so. Two man
damus cases were filed to-day in the
Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia against Lyman J. Gage, grow
ing out of the issue of bonds to carry
on the war.
In the first case, William II. Whar-
ton of Jersey City sets up that he was
a subscriber for $500 of the bonds. He
empowered the Produce Exchange
Trust Company of New York to make
the necessary advance for the bonds,
holding them as collateral. Thereaf-
ter Secretary Gage refused to make
this allotment of bonds on the ground,
it is understood, that the subscription
was not bona fide, but was made in
the interest of a third party.
The second suit is instituted by Geo.
Wightman, and seeks to restrain Sec
retary Gage from setting aside the
award of many small lots of bonds ag-
gregating S335340, which were to be
handled through the Produce Exchange
Trust Company.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Car
Isle, who was the predecessor of Mr..
Gage, is the attorney for the plaintiffs.
The cases are understood to be test of
many similar cases.

YELLOW JOURNALISM.
Their Attacks RoundIy Denounced
by General Shafter.

NASHVILLE (Tenn.), Sept 80
Postmaster Willis received letter
from General Shafter to-day, dated
Camp Wikoff, September Goth, in which
he says of newspaper attacks upon
him:
"The attacks of the yellow press
upon me and others Of the Administra
tion are simply outrageous. The ar
ticleS are filled with untruths, begin
ming with the one that / was respon-
sible for the equipment of the army
with Springfield rifles, which you and
every other sensible man knows is a
lie. The behavior Of some Of the yel-
low journalists was so outrageous be-
fore We even got into Cuba that / had
to put my hand on them, and after we
got into Cuba it was still worse. Their
letters are the result of personal spite.
If / had come back with defeated
army there might have been yOme ex-
cuse for their talk, but having COM
manded one Of the most successful
campaigns Of modern military history,
it is simply an outrage.
Il am very fond of Evans Pension
Commissioner, and am very glad you
are defending him. Some of the G.. A.
r. are simply unbearable, and seem to
think if they can't have the treasury
turned open to them that they are be-
ing defrauded. Very truly yours,

Mr.. Collins could not recollect hav-

Horrible Death.

What Caused the Explosion, No
One Being Near the Powder
Magazine at the Time.

WALLACE Qdaho), Sept. 30.-Thir-
ty men working the night shift in No.
4 tunnel of the Morning Mine had an
almost miraculous escape from death
early this morning, when $50 pounds of
dynamite in a magazine exploded.
The first report to reach here was
that eight dead and wounded had
been recovered, and that smoke was
still too thick to permit the rescuers to
get farther back where it was feared
the imprisoned were all dead, either
from the direct results of the explo-
sion or from the gases generated by it.
Later it was learned that not man
had been killed or seriously injured, the
only casualty being the killing of a
horse used to haul out the ore.
Most of the men walked out, although
some of them were so stunned by the
explosion or overcome by smoke and
gas that they had to be helped. A
number of them were stunned by the
concussion, and one, Captain Woods,
fell onto his candle, burning his face
severely before he recovered conscious
ness sufficiently to get away from over
the flame.
1t is not known what caused the eX-
plosion, no one being near the maga-
zine at the time. That no one was in
jured was purely a piece of luck

Testimony Adduced Before the

DENVER, Sept. 30.-In the court
martial trial of Rev. Joseph P. Nc
Intyre, Chaplain of the battleship Ore
gon, to-day Benjamin H. Bayles of
Denver, a retired business man, testi-
fed that nothing was said by Chaplain
Mcintyre to the effect that Captain
Evans took the Iowa to the rear and
kept her there during the battle. On
many points at issue regarding the
wording Of the lecture, the witness said
his memory was not clear. He re-
membered that the Chaplain said at
one point in his description of the bat
tie that the Oregon in going forward
passed the Iowa going the other way,
but was not clear what the connection
was. He could not recall what was
said about division of prize money.
John Collins. minister of the Metho-
dist Church, testified that Chaplain Nc
Intyre said the Oregon was one of the
best built vessels in the navy. he
stated that the reason Western manu-
facturers had not been able to secure
contracts for other vessels was that
the Eastern shipbuliders had more in
fuence with the Government.

We're swept into the city from the
southwest at about o'clock last night
by a tornado. The air was filed with
smoke and burning cinders, and the
fire started on the east and west sides
of town about the same time. The
flames spread with q rapidity that
threatened not only the entire city, but
the lives of the inhabitants. Every
part of the town was filled with smoke
and flying fire brands, and the people
were running in every direction, panic
stricken with horror. Two freight
trains took about hundred people to
Shell Lake, and hundreds more sought
the western lake shore for safety.
Meanwhile the volunteer fire depart
ment did heroic work in trying to save
the business portion of the city. The
wind had now assumed the velocity of
a tornado, and the atmosphere was
lurid with flames and the air filed with
of rain, lasting about twenty minutes,
enabled the firemen to check the pro-
gress of the flames on the west side
of the city. but no human power could
save the city east of the Omaha Rail
