TOWN WIPED OFF THE MAP.
Scarcely Two Score OF Inhabitants Escape
Injury or Death.

st. Paul, June ia Dispatch re-
on the first relief train last night, has
returned and fully confirms the reports
of the calamity. The town is al
most wiped off the map. Scarcely
two score of the 2 800 nhabitants es-
capped njury or death. Though the
day closed muggy no danger was an
ticipated until heavy clouds gathered
about $50. Many reached the cellars.
wells, caves and other underground
refugees before the storm broke. The
tonado struck the town full in the
center, and in 10 minutes 500 build
ings were in ruins. The largest brick
blocks crumbled like eggshells. The
lighter frame structures were whisked
away like straw. and many carried
blocks. Not one residence was left
untouched. Lumber yards went up
in the clouds. A large iron bridge
over the Apple river was blown into
fragments.
The dead lay all about. Within
the space of few lots 100 bodies
were counted. Legs and arms are
missing in many cases. Not all who
sought refuge in the cellars escaped.
In some cases the houses over them
collapsed and they were entombed.
Fire was started by the overturning
of stoves and many wounded were un-
able to drag themselves out of danger
and burned to death.

and farmers from the surrounding
country with their families came to
the show. Just before the storm
struck large part of these rushed to
brick building. The building was
destroyed. and it is difficult to say
how many Perished there.
As nearly as can be ascertained the
storm first struck at Catfish Bar,
short distance below Saltwater. and
laid waste the entire country from
that point on.

3. 1000 men and at 5 was only able to
push the insurgents back 500 yards to

trenched. The insurgents resisted

This morning the rebels opened on
the fleet and navy yard from Cavite
Viejo along the beach to Bacoor.

gents replying with small arms and
artillery. Soon seven vessels includ-
ing the Helena, Princeton, Monterey
and Monadnock, were bonn harding the
enemy, presenting the scene of great
naval battle. The rebels were event

ING has been received from Gen. Otis:
''Lawton's troops had a severe en-
