Will Develop the Mine.

Atfthe big Alice A gold mine nearly
two menths were spent last winter by
w. D. Ramsay, a noted mining expert
OF London, who was there in the inter-
est OF capitalists of that city. Hemade
very; thorough and exhaustive tests of
the mine and sailed for London short
~ after. A cablegram has been re-
ceived from there that the men who
sent Mr.. Ramsey here have decided to
take heavy interest in the mine, and
to- at once erect a very large stamp
mill of the latest and most improved
design, together with concentrat-
ing plant. which will quite probably
be of the Krupp make, experts being
now in Germany examining that style
of plant.

HAVOC OF THE STORM.
The Death List Grows at Kirksv-ille-
Over Thirty Bodies Found.

The Death List Grows at Kirksville-
Over Thirty Bodies Found.
Kirksville, Mo-, April 29.-As result
of the tornado that swept through the
eastern portion of this city Thursday
evening, demolishing half of the resi-
dences and other buildings, more than
80 dead bodies and 70 injured persons
have been recovered from the ruins.
More than dozen of the injured will
die. Although rescuers have been
searching the ruins ever since the storm
spent its fury, many are still missing
and it is thought that considerable
number of the unfortunates were con-
sumed in the flames that broke out soon
after the storm ceased. The work of
rescue continues, but it may be days
before the total number of victims is
known.
At Newtown.
Chillicothe, Mo-, April 2e.-Scenes of
utter distress and desolation were pic
tured Friday in the little tornado swept
burg of Newtown, 40 miles north, on the
st. Paul railway. A day of ceaseless
search among the ruins and work for
the injured and suffering followed a
night of gloom and despair. Fifty fami-
lies are homeless. There are about IS
dead and over 30 injured, while half of
the place is in ruins. A complete list of
casualties will not be known for several
days.
Path OF the Storm.
St. Louis, April 2o.-According to the
best informa ton, the storm which
caused so much loss of life and destruc-
ton of property in northern Missouri
originated in Nebraska. Its course was
southwest through western Iowa to the
Missouri state line, thence through
Harrison, Grundy, Sullivan, Linn, Ma
con, Shelby and Marion counties, north
and west through Lewis, Knox, Adair,
Sullivan and Putnam counties. When
the storm retraced its course it was al
most parallel with the other track
traversed, and it was then that Kinks
Vile and Newtown were struck. AS
far as known, Kirksville, Newtown and
Lancaster Mo-, are the only towns that
felt the full force of the storm.

Col. Argueleses and his companion

words of the American commander. 1t

Washington, april 29.-The end of
the Filipino insurrection is in sight, in
the opinion of army and navy officials.
A telegram received from Gen. Otis Fri
day announces that Aguinaldo had
taken what is regarded as the first step
towards surrendering namely, re-

rotary Alger said as the department
closed that while it could not be said
that peace was assured, he regarded the
prospects as of the brightest and felt
confident that the end of the insurrec-
ton was near. To his mind there would
be repetition of the negotiations
which were had before Santiago.

narrow escapes from death occurred. r..

CUBAN FREEBOOTERS
The Hardy Raiders Have Laid in

primitive ancestors, and reacquired the
faculty of making feast day COM

digesting the sun-dried bull beef of
their >bivouacs as readily as the made
dishes of a ransacked hotel, and sleep

Their fox-trail instinct will easily pre-
vail against the methods of civilized
warfare; and their raids have already
depopulated numerous districts, some
of which once boosted prosperous
farms, but are now Stunned as the
haunts of the predatory Kabyles are
Stunned by the Algerian settlers.
In the Sierra Mesilla, northeast of
Bayamo, the industrial population has
almost entirely disappeared under the
terror of the freebooters, whose camp
fires can be seen smoking in the sum-
mit-glens, and whose constant raids at
last ceased to leave the farmers iv-
ing share in their agricultural prod
ucts. The Cerro de Cobre, some 80 miles
forther south, is approached only by
cattle hunters with a military escort;
travellers who have attempted the passes
of the old overland road have rarely re-
turned to tell the results OF the all but
inevitable encounter with the scouts of
the outlaws. The valley formed by
the west fork of the Rio Verde, in the
Province of Puerto Principe, was long
dreaded as a haunt of runaway slaves,
and these refugees have now been
Joined by desperadoesn numerous enough
to become savagely aggressive. Their
neighbors, too, have abandoned hum

stress of circumstances the outlaws exc

ing, but withal continue to extend the
range of their marauding expeditions;
and last winter one Of their restless
leaders was caught and hanged by a
posse of exasperated rancheros, on the
charge of having decorated his head

heads, mailed up spread-eagle fashion,
or like collection of dried fern-leaves."
The total value of the property de-
stroyed by these moss troopers has
been computed to exceed half bill

Fort Dodge, Iowa, Jan 2.-The mys- tery of the murder of Mary Thomas by Harry Garvey has been solved. They both lived at Gowrie, twenty miles from the scene of the tragedy. Garvey had paid her attentions which appar- ently were not displeasing to her, but her parents objected to their marriage, and so she refused him.
 When he caled at her school house to plead his cause. he showed her a letter, which he tried to induce her to read, but she refused to do so. This letter was found in his pocket and proved to be a love missive written to him by girl at Eagle Grove Evidently his wish was to make her jealous, and thus more cOnsiderate of his wishes, but on her declining to show interest in it and otherwise ignoring his atten- tions, Garvey became enraged and killed her and then took his own life.
