KANSAS COUNTIES FLOODED.
Repeated Rains for -Four Weeks Have Kept
the streams swollen over wide
Territory

Fort SCoTT, Kan, May l9.-The
floods in southeast Kansas and south
west Missouri, resulting from the re-
cent persistent rains, are probably
without recent precedent in covering
such an extensive territory. For four
weeks repeated rains have kept the
ground soaked and the streams are
swollen. Not only is railroad traffic
suspended on some lines, but the de-
struction of crops in several coun-
ties is serious. In Allen. Linn.
Miami, Crawford, Cherokee, Neo-
sho and Montgomery counties,
in Kansas, and Vernon, Bates
and Jasper counties, in Missouri, great
destruction of crops is reported. The
average rainfall in the past five days
in the counties mentioned is estimated
at between five and six inches, and.
coming on soaked ground, il all went
to the streams. The Neosho, Marais
des Cygnes, Usage, Marmaton, Mill and
Spring rivers have been far out of
their banks. Big washouts on the NJ,
X. Il Us Junction City line have COM
PEELED the company to send its trains
by way of this city, and big washouts
in the Indian terri tory have compelled
the abandonment of trains. The bot
tom lands along all these streams have
been inundated and the acreage of de-
stroyed crops is immense.
WICHITA, Kan, May "a special
from Peabody says that the heaviest
hail and wiudstorm in the history of
that place struck there at eight o'clock
last night. Windows were smashed
in all the buildings in town. Hail
stones the size OF oranges fell, in many
instances killing young stock. The
wind was very heavy and to the west
were funnel-shaped clouds that
whirled and twisted like cyclones in
the vicinity of Walton.

senator Turpie Contends That a Bond Is
sue Is Unnecessary-A short Ses-
sion of the House.

WAsHINdToN. May 19.-The feature
Of yesterdays session of the senate
was the speech of Senator Turpie, of
Indiana, upon the war revenue meas
ure. He strongly contended that a
bond issue was unnecessary; that all
the funds required for the prosecution
of the war could be raised through the
proposed inheritance tax, by the tax on
corporations, by the coinage of the
silver gniorage and by the issue of
legal tender notes. These four means
Of obtaining money would yield TO the
government during the next year, he
maintained, fully $500. 900, 600 an
amount in excess Of the estimated sum
necessary for the conduct of the war
The speech was enthusiastically beau
tiful in diction and close and force
full in reasoning. Senators on both
sides of the chamber gave it undivided
attention. Considerable progress was
made in the reading of the bill, which
included, naturally, the consideration
Of the amendments proposed by the
committee. Through the influence of
senator German. OF Maryland, the itc.

SPANISH LOSS HEAVY.
Reported That Three Hundred spanlard'
Were KILLED Rt Bomb'rdment of CteIi-
fuegns-Several Hundred Wounded.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 20. The Span
ish loss during the recent engagement
at Cienfuegos is now known to have
been much heavier than at first re-
ported. Three hundred Spaniards
we're killed and several hundred
wounded. Great damage was done
along the coast Soon after the en-
gagement the United States cruiser
Marblehead picked up several Cubans
in an open boat some miles down the
coast. They reported that the Span
ish losses and the damage wrought
by the smells from the warships were
very heavy. The hospitals at Glen
fuegos. they said, were full of wound
ed, and fear prevailed everywhere that
the American warships would return
to complete the work of destruc-
ton. During the engagement the
Marblehead threw $50 tive-inch
shells into the Spanish forces
and 700 shots from her secondary
battery; the gunboat Nashville as
many more shells and l,200 shots from
her secondary battery. Fifteen hum
dred Spaniards were stationed in an
improvised fortress on a neck of land,
and upon this the ships concentrated
their fire and it was here that the most
terrible destruction was wrought.
