and Even Shoes of American Soldiers.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 23.-On the
breaking up of General Wheeler's
camp on the Caney road On Friday the
tents and general equipment of the
division headquarters were left in
charge of the quart depart
ment. During the night the Cubans
stealthily confscated all the tents,
stores, arms and personal effects of the
soldiers. There is no clue to the rob-
bers. On Saturday General Lawton
ordered the ammunition and arms to
be brought into town, but it was too
late. Everything was gone.
General Kent's brigade, stationed
three miles from Santiago, also lost
their tents, and the soldiers marched
into town barefooted. their shoes and
everything portable having been
stolen. The Cubans equipped them
selves with the arms, tents and pro-
visions of the Americans. They are
continually stalking about the camps,
and constant vigilance is necessary.
There are 4sS patients in the hospi-
tai at Siboney, and the authorities
urge their immediate removal. Gil
matte debility is as bad as the fever.
The doctors say that delay in moving
the patients will menace their lives.
| The death rate is high.

into a compact spiny ball, awaited de-

thus rudely awakened, turned in fury
upon it's antagonist, striking the hog
again and again with its fangs. The

the snake to keep up the attack. At ev-

with Hands He Whipped q BULL.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
Yankton, S. D.. Special: A most re-
markable and perhaps fatal accident
happened to Carey Violin, prosperous
Yankton county stockman, living II
miles east Of this city. Entering a
large pasture. he was attacked by an
enraged bull, and, being unarmed and
single handed, he fought the animal
for nearly an hour. His back was so
badly injured that his legs became to-
tally paralyzed. Notwithstanding this.
however, he retained his presence OF
mind, and succeeded at length in get
ting hold Of the animals lolling tongue
and was dragged in this manner for
many rods about the pasture. When
he finally loosened his hold, complete
ly exhausted, the bull, whipped, gave
up the fight. Soon after Mr.. Violin
was found by his hired man, suffering
terrible agony. He was carried to the
house and physicians summoned. He
was bound in a plaster cast from shoul-
ders to hips. The physicians claim his
back is dislocated, but hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.

COLLAPSE OF A BRIDGE
APPALLING ACCIDENT NEAR H0GANS.
BURG ON ST. LAWRENCE.
Workmen Swept Down TO Death in the Wreck o.
Falling timbers of the Unfinished Bridge
Across The River.

Hogansburg n. Y, Sept. G.-About
noon to-day two spans of the interna-
tional bridge of the New York and Otta-
wa railroad. now under construction
across the st. Lawrence river. about
three miles above St. Regis Indian vii
lage, fell without warning, with sixty
men at work ON the bridge, all being
thrown into the river, some sixty feet
below. Over thirty were picked up and
taken to Cornwall hospital and twenty
seven are now missing. The bridge con
sists of three spans, of which two were
completed and the third was nearly com
pleted when the south pier gave way at
its foundation, causing both spans to
fall into sixty feet of water, taking its
lo"d of human freight with it.
The names of the dead and wounded
cannot at present be ascertained.
The immediate cause of the disaster
and the giving way of the span of the
bridge seems to have been from the
washing away Of one of the large piers.
Late reports from Cornwall hospital
says thirty-three men have been taken
out OF the river and transferred to the
hospital. Eighteen of them have since
died.
The latest information confirming to-
days tragedy makes it probable that
the death list will reach thirty Many
of the men are terribly injured.
As far as can be learned 50 men re-
ported for work this morning. Of this
list only So have actually been account
ed for.

the rushing waters. Then he saw bodies
coming TO the surface, and the work of

adequate, there being only a few boats
in the vicinity, and very few men who
would undertake to swim out into the

have been saved were drowned before
help could reach them.

yention was the adoption of the referen-
dun system as the cardinal principle
in the future of the government of the
re-organized party. After the nomina-
tions were made a motion was made by
Captain Burkett. of Mississippi, provid-
ing that the nominations just made be
referred to n referendum of the voters
of the Peoples party of all States and
Territories and that said referendum be
taken in accordance with the rules adopt
ed by this convention for the future gov
eminent of the Peoples Party. These
rules constitute a radical substitute for
those adopted at st. Louis i'll 1896. The
main change provides that the new Peo-
pies Party should never again hold n
delegate convention of any SORT national.
State, district or local, but that the
nominations for all offices shall be made
through 1.-The initiative or referendum
or petitions adopted by popular Vote
Another supplemental resolution was
adopted providing that the new national
committee of which Milton Park is chair
man, shall take such action as it may
find necessary in the courts or otherwise
to see that the names of all the candi
dates of the Peoples Party in all locali-
ties shall appear in the regular and
legally prescribed ballots. Those who
followed Palmer of Illinois out of the
convention afterward held a conference
and appointed 10. A. Parker. of Ken

Merritt, of Tennessee, Il committee to

tee reported an address which was unan-

to the withdrawal of the boilers the adj
dress says:
