across the country in the vicinity OF
BijOu Hills, twenty-five miles south OF
this city yesterday afternoon, resulting
In the death OF seven persons and the

southerly course, the first place reach
ed being that of Arr Codcn, which was
totally destroyed.
The storm then destroyed a church
and u school house, after which 1t
reached the Peterson place, where the
execution done was simply appalling.
The dead and injured We're strewn
all about the premises, all being bruised
and MANNED In shocking manner,
while the buildings were smashed into
splinters.
After doing Its worst here, the tor
nado passed into the range of hills
skirting the Missouri river, where it
appears to have been dissolved. Every
thing In its course was completely de-
stroyed.
The path covered by the tornado was
only about twenty rods wide and about
three miles in length. The wind was
accompanied by a heavy fall of rain
and hail. the latter being us large as
goose eggs.
This Is the first tornado that has ever
appeared in this section of the country
The same storm did great damage In
Nebraska, destroying many buildings.

NEW TRIAL FOR DREYFus.
Omcial Announcement Made In Regard
Case of Famous Military Prisoner.

OmcIai Announcement Made In Regard TO
Case of Famous Military Prisoner.
London, May 2S.-Special dispatches
from Paris received here to-day say
that the government officially an
nounced that Dreyfus will be retired
by q court martial, the situngs Of
which will be held In u garrison town
distant from Paris.
Paris, May 27.-Early this afternoon
1t was rumored that the president Of
the civil section Of the Court of Cassa-
tion, NJ. Ballot De Beaupre, had re-
ported to the president of the Court of
Cessation, N. Bazeau, In favor of q
revision of the Dreyfus trial, and send
ing the prisoner again befort q court
martial.
This. later in the day, was confirmed
by n direct statement that the presi-
dent OF the civil section had SO report
ed to the president Of the Court of
Cessation. 1t Is believed that 1t is
practically certain to be accepted by
the Court of Cessation, and means that
Dreyfus will be brought back to
France and retired.
From the President of the Court of
Cessation, the Dreyfus report will pass
into the hands Of the procurer general,
Mr.. Manau.
The proceedings Of the case will be
public, although the greater part of
the court has been reserved for ticket
holders. The procedure will consist
Of the reading Of the report of NJ. Bal
lot De Beaupre, followed by a speech
by Mnitre Monard. counsel for Nine.
Dreyfus, and the address of the public
prosecutor, NJ. Maneau. The court
will then retire to deliberate upon
verdict, which 1t is expected will be
rendered on Friday or Saturday.

liable.
Havana, May 2S.-There we're III
applications to-day for shares In the
offered ms a gratulty to the Cuban
troops. Thirty were given $15 each.
rhe others were not on the rolls, al-
though they had guns which they were
ready to turn in and certificates Of SER
vice.
The United States militry authorities
consider that the rolls are very unre-
Liable. Indeed, the opinion Is freely ex-
expressed that large proportion Of
the names are fictitious and that the
rolls omit a majority OF the names Of
those rightly entitled to share in the
gratuity.
The object Of this. apparently, is to
discredit the proceedings and to show
the Cuban public that n large number
Of the troops refused to take American
money.
Lieutenant Colonel George NJ. Ran.
dali of the Eighth United States infan-
try, the commissioner experimenting
the distribution here, went carefully
over the rolls of one battalion with It's
commandant. He pointed out thirty
four names Of men who are dead and
names of others who had not been
heard OF outside the rolls.
or those paid today twenty five
turned in arms-Mausers. Remingtons
and carbines. The other five showed
receipts from the alcalde vouching for
the delivery of their arms.
The payment will continue until noon
tomorrow In Havana city, but Colonel
Randall says 1t Will be necessary to
have additional days after n while here
and extra pay rolls for men who have
undoubtedly seen service. He also be-
lieves that the payment to be contin-
ued for the next three days Mt least
ninety per cent. of those entitled to
apply would do SO. Most of those who
received shares to-day asserted that
they only heard by accident that the
distribution was now actually taking
place.
Colonel Randall will send to Senor
Percecto La Coste, the mayor. all the
arms turned in to-day. The first pay
ment outside of Havana will be made
on Tuesday mt Santiago de Las Vegas,
whittier Colonel Randall, the clerks
and thirty soldiers will go with the
paymaster.

Bright Prospects for Arbitration Agre.
mcnt.

The Hague, May 2S.-The newly ap-
pointed subcommittee of the third
committee Of the peace conference,
the arbitration, will meet tomorrow.
1t will be known as the drafting com
mittee, indicating In its name the scope
of its functions.
The delegates have worked unceas.
lngly to-day, although the formal Ia
bors of the conference were suspend.
ed. An effort Is being made, and with
certain degree of progress, to com.
bine the Russian and British proposals
In such way that the report of the
drafting committee may secure the
support of both parties in the plenary
committee NJ. De Stanl and Sir Julian
Pauncefote. chiefs of the Russian and
British delegations respectively, and
other delegates, had long conference
to-day with this end In view and there
Is no doubt that an agreement in prin-
clple will be reached.
The hope of the delegates that per-
nnnfnt arbitration board will be es.
tahlished is rapidly improving. The
difficult points now relate to the COM
position of the tribunal, how the re-
presentation of the powers is to be mr..
ranged, and the limitations to be placed
upon the jurisdiction of the board.
