DESPERATE STREET FIGHT.

Three Men Infllct Terrible Punishment
ON Each Other at Unionville, Mo.
KNOXVILLE. Mo-. June 2O.-About 9
o'clock last night on one of the prin-
cipal streets of this city, Henry Fuller,
Harry Sims and DAY" Rumbly en-
gagged in fight over a woman. Sims
and Rumbly, armed with clubs, were
pitted against Fuller, armed with a
knife.
The fight was fast and fierce, and
when it ended Rumbley had cut four
inches long on his right arm and an
eight-inch cash on the right shoulder.
Both cuts went to the bone. Sims was
wounded by a straight stab, entering
into the left side between the tenth
and eleventh ribs and passing through
the left lung. He may die. Fuller,
though terribly beaten, escaped and is
at large.

DEATH IN A FLOOD.
Four Persons Drowned by tho Bursting
Of Chelsea Dam, Kansas City, Kan.

Four Persons Drowned by tho Bursting
Of Chelsea Dam. Kansas City, Kan.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, June 17.-One
woman is dead and four people are
missing as a result of cloudburst in
the vicinity of Chelsea park, just out
side the western boundary of Kansas
City, Kan, at 10 o'clock last night.
The dam which formed the lake at
Chelsea park gave way before the
pressure of the water, and torrent
rushed down Jersey Creek, leaving
death and desolation in its wake.
Mrs. Elsie Greenlee, wife of w.
Greenlee, is known to have been
drowned. Her husband was rescued
after having been severely injured.
The missing are Robert Canote and
two children, Willie and Mollie, aged7
and years respectively.
Houses were washed from their
foundations at points all along the
creek to the Kaw river.

DID AWFUL HAVOC.
AMERICAN GUNNERS DID TER
RIFIC DAMAGE At SANTIAGO.

Evidence Of Fatality Among Spanish
Soldlers-Report That Hobson and His
c0mpani0ns Have Been Murdered.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 2O-A
careful inspection of the Notifications
along the crest of the hills defending
Santiago harbor since the lombard
ment Thursday morning shows the
American gunners spread wreck and
ruin everywhere. Some of the bat
teries were demolished beyond repair.
The vultures which circled over the
hills as thick as swallows around a
chimney for hours after the firing
ceased furnished gruesome evidence of
the fatality among the Spanish SOL
diers. Hundreds of troops could
be seen from the ships digging
in mounds of earth piled up by the
explosions of the projectiles
from the heavy guns for bodies while
their heads were famed by the wings
of the black scavengers of the battle
field. There were two spots, one in
the east and the other in the west of
the harbor entrance, which were de-
nuded of the foliage. The hill tops
seem literally blown away. These
marked the places where the 2OO-pound
charges of guncotton thrown by the
Vesuvius landed. But the most omi-
nous token of death flew from Moro
castle. The saffron flag of Spain was
half-masted for several hours. The
significance of this is not known.
It is customary to half-mast flags,
but possibly some Spanish leader was
killed by the heavy fire of our guns,
though some officers of the squadron
believe that the flag was half-masted
as notification to the Americans that
Lieutenant HObsOn and his brave men
men were dead. If such is the case
they must have been wantonly MUIR
dered. The Spanish might seek to lay
their death to the bombardment, but
not shot from the Americans struck
the fortress.
