During the afternoon the trains as

In four hours they climbed 1880 feet
and at o'clock attained an altitude Of
1000 feet, the highest point between
Ogden and the Sierras. Harry Henry,
Of Company G, Is very sick with menin-
gifts. He became delirious this after
noon and Hospital Steward Miles, who
attended him, advised that he be left
at some town, as he Is not fit to travel
farther. Maj. Bean telegraphed to
Lieut.. Law to hold the second section
at Carlin until the arrival of the third
section to hold a consultation on
Henry's case. 1t was there decided to
take him to San Francisco The regi-
ment received a hearty ovation at
Wells, mining town in the Ruby
range. A number of Shoshone Indians
were at the depot and shook hands
with the soldiers. The glee and man.
dolin clubs sang and played and the
men started to explore the town but
they were driven back to the train by
heavy hall storm that suddenly burst
upon the place.
The country through which the regi-
ment is now passing is close to the
snow line. The white mountain peaks
are hidden in clouds.
The regiment will not arrive at San
Francisco until late tomorrow evening.
1t will remain onsthe train until Sat-
urday morning, when it will march to
the bay district race track and en-
camp. The men are very anxious to
get to the end Of the journey, for they
are travel-weary. Owing to the In
ability to get coffee at any place today
the men have had only two meals.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 19.-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 were
killed and several hundred wounded.
Great damage was done along the
coast.
Soon after the engagement the United
States cruiser Marblehead picked up
several Cubans In an open boat some
miles down the coast, including Col.
Oriz, Lieut.. Olstarez and three privates
from an 1nsurgent camp near Cienfue-
gos. They reported that the Spanish
losses and the damage wrought by the
sheels from the warship were heavy.
The hospitals at Clenfuegos, they say,
were full of wounded Spanish, and
fear prevailed everywhere that the
American warships would return to
complete the work of destruction.
During the engagement the Marble
head threw $50 fve-inch shells into the
Spanish forces and 100 shots from her
secondary battery. The gunboat Nash
vile as many more shells, and 1900
shots from. her secondary battery
One thousand five hundred Spaniards
were stationed In an improvised fort
ress on a neck of. land, and upon this
the ships concentrated their fire and it
was here that the most terrible de-
struction was wrought.
During the heavy fire Of shells and
just after the light house was blown
up, five Spaniards, who were running
together in an attempt to escape, were
picked off by shell from the Marble
head, the gunner being ordered to fire
upon them by Ensign Pratt. They
were torn to pieces.
The men who manned the cutters
did so under instructions, and they
withstood the CALLING fire poured upon
them with the utmost calmness.
The Cubans were supplied with 5000
rounds of ammunition and all but three
of them got ashore.

Is stated that from one farm house an
iron safe, weighing LOO pounds, was
picked up and carried several hundred
feet. Great trees were picked up by
the roots and others stripped bare,
while close beside, as If to mark the
flendish vagaries of the elements, the
plants and twigs were left untouched.
Many narrow escapes are reported
and as communications with the de-

new and startling stories are being
told.
TRACK OF THE STORM.
A special from Delmar, Iowa, where
the storm was most severe. saws:
A barren tract of land in a dag
onal direction with bare trees, broken
timbers of houses and heaps Of ruins,
where yesterday dwelt order and hap
piness, mark the dark pathway for
miles. None Of the towns in this
vicinity were struck, the storm being
confined to the farming communities.
Hildebrand and Grieme were drag
g1ng field when the storm approach
ed. People at the Coverdale place close
by saw them watching it from a plow-
field. The storm came upon them in
moment and both were found in the
edge Of the field, sixty yards from
where they stood as the cloud came up.
Hfldebrand was killed instantly, one of
his horses having been hurled in the
air and dropped down beside him. Both
his legs and arms and jaw were brok-
en- and his face cut and mangled al
most beyond recognition, and bruises
and cuts were all over his body.
Grieme, his fellow workman, who
was picked up sixty rods from where he
stood, died a few hours afterward.
Both were single men. The bodies
were taken to the home of their en-
ployers, three miles from Delmara.
Mr.. Allison, son of well-to-do farm
er, went into the cellar with his fam
lily. With the near approach of the
storm, he took position in the north
west corner Of the cellar. A piece of
timber blew in on him crushing his
skull and breaking his leg and arm.
He lived but few minutes. Albert.
an older son, was in the barn when
he heard the roar of the storm. He ran
outside and grabbed a small tree and
SO escaped unhurt

storm struck, and was killed instantly,
but two horses, which were tied in the
stall, were unhurt. He leaves a wife
and nine children. The Cook family
took shelter in the cellar at the ap-
proach of the storm. The senior Cook
ran outside to see the storm and was
blown fifty feet into tree, fifteen feet
from the ground, but escaped without
scratch.
FREAKS OF THE STORM.
The FiEton residence, one of the
handsomest and most complete farm
houses in eastern Iowa, was blown all
