Struck by "a Cyclone.

Havre, Aug. lion Saturday last a
cyclone struck a long trestle on the
Great Northern railroad at a point west
of Minot. The trestle was carried
away and the timbers were twisted and
broken INTO kindling wood. As near
can be ascertained 500 feet of the tres
tie collapsed under the force Of the
wind. The trestle crossed a wide cou-
lee.
The railroad people at once built a
rack around the wrecked bridge. and
trains are again running on schedule
time. The disaster caused some delay
TO the overland trains.

They Charge Managers Of the Coal Com
pany with Conspiracy to Murder"
virden, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-As the result of
a meeting held by number of union
miners during which the fight of Wed
nesday was discussed, a warrant has
been sworn out by Virgil Bishop, a
union miner charging the managers Of
the Chicago -Virden Coal Company.
Messrs. Lulkins. Louclxs, Yorke and
others, with murder Bishop is one OF
the leaders among the union miners.
The warrant was sworn out by him be-
fore Police Magistrate Roberts of
Virden
The complaint names Fred w. Lux

as accessories before and after the fact
and as principals.
At first it was decided to serve the
warrant today, but after, a elaboration
it was thought to be best. in order to
avoid complications, to hold it until
after the inquest had been completed
Magistrate Roberts, who is foreman
Of the coroner's jury began today's ses-
sion of the inquest within the stockade.
J. W. Patton of Springfield, Ill.,, who is
Manager Lukins' attorney, was present
and was a representative Of the legal
railroad. DIR. Peterson of the Thiel de-
tective agency, was the first witness
called. He recited the incidents lead
ing up to Wednesdays battle and told
the story of the fight at the north gate
where he was in charge of the company
guards He was sure that his men did
not open the battle and he asserted
that he cautioned them not to fire on
numerous occasions during the battle.
j. De Barrow of East St. Louis, who
was in charge of the special guards on
one of the cars of the train fired on in
Wednesdays battle, testified that when
the train carrying the imported negroes
had reached point 100 yards south of
the depot the firing began from the
exterior on either side of the tracks.
He gave orders to the men to drop to
the floor of the car. He stated that
the occupants of the car were colored
men and women and children, and that
when he gave those orders he could
hear the women and children screaming
that they had been shot. After the
depot was passed he said the fire be-
came very fierce again on the outside
and continued until the train reached
the stockade. When the thrain drew
up alongside the enclosure. he said that
it was met with another volley of shots

A CLEANER CITY.
The People Marvel at the
Low Death Rate.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 14.-The Reina

day to the destitute people of Man
zanillo and its vicinity. She win re-
turn by October IS.
Heavy rains during the last ten DAYS
have been causing much sickness. Out
of SO men only II are available for duty.
People who have lived here a lifetime
are unable to understand the extraor-
binary low death rate, averaging for
october, up to date, ten per day. Dur
ing the same period of last year the
deaths averaged 1873 per diem.
Gen. Wood is interchangeable He is
here, there and everywhere, and his
friends fear he is overworking himself.
The result Of his labors is apparent in
every branch of the service. The gen
eral yesterday visited the hospitals and
found considerable negligence. The
patients arereaping the result of his Wis
it in better attention and improved
food and cooking. The 300 prisoners in
Santiago prison will be made to build
roads for the city. The railroad has
offered to deliver 500 tons of rock free
as their share of the work of improy-
ing the city.
This is the Saints day of Gen. Calix-
to Garcia, and thousands of his friends,
largely former insurgents, visited the
veteran Cuban leader. The school chill
dren sang national songs, his house
was made a bower of flowers, and dur
ing the afternoon a reception in his
honor was held at the San Carlos Club.
Gen. Wood has received word from
Guantanamo saying that Gen. Perez,
the insurgent commander there, now
refuses to disband his men. This is
not understood here, as previous reli-
able reports announced that Perez had
disbanded his troops. The American
officer in charge at Guantanamo, dur
ing the absence of Col. Ray, has been
to report on the subject to
Gen. Wood.

The Large Amount Of sickness Among
Soldiers Causing Great Uneasiness.


Charleston, s. c., Oct. 14.-The great
amount of typhoid and malaria among
the enlisted men stationed at Sullivan s
Island islcausing the commandant, Col
Rawles, much concern. At present 400
men are confined to quarters. The
morality has been light up to date,
though the death roll may be consider
ably swelled unless there is an inn
provement In the conditions, particular
ly a cessation of rain.
Regarding the sickness, Col. Rawles
said: Il acknowledge there has been a
great deal Of sickness at this post.
could not really give an estimate of the
fever patients. AT present three-fourths
of the garrison are confined to their
quarters. Some are fever patients and
besides these there are quite a num-
Der with other ailments. Fever, both
typhoid and malarial, has caused much
of the trouble, and it is entirely due to
the great amount Of rainwater that has
remained for days on the surface.
have done everything to keep the tenn
porary barracks well drained"
Continuing, Col. Rawles said: 1.-THE
old building called the Moultrie house,
which, | believe, was a hotel is the pest
hole of the island. Out of 600 and odd
men CHARTERED on the island / am
pressed to put 80 men in this place.
Every sanitary precaution has been
taken to guard against fever, but it
seems to do no good"
Col Rawles thinks that If he had
regular barracks built, there would be
no troubles Of this kind.

The body was hauled onto the bank

the fact, however, that Barney Null

do away with the supposition that he
was the man.
Another informant thought the man
might be James Mulrain, who is said
to resemble his namesake in some re-
spects, but inquiry revealed the fact,
however, that James Mulrain was at
home in bed and enjoying very good
health.
The fact that the body was found

by some to look like foul play, espe-
eially with the heavy stone attached

ceased, he heard the order from the
gate Of the stockade, Come out; pile
out quick" which. he thought, came
from DR. Preston, captain Of the stock
ade guards.
De Barrow stated that he and six ne
groes ran straight into the enclosure
without stopping. He claimed that the
guards on the train had not fired a
single shot during the whole engage
ment.
The afternoon session lasted several
hours. The wounded guards, II in num-
Der, who were on the train with the
negroes, stated that the firing was be-
gun by the strikers. Some acknowl-
edged that the guards returned the fire,
but none would acknowledge he indi-
vidually had fired The men said they
were under strict orders not to fire ex-
cept in self defense.
One of the wounded guards, who had
been at the stockade previous TO We'd

there were no guards in the tower over
the shafts, and that none Of the firing
came from the stockades.
