force OF the storm, and scarcely any
body in that neighborhood escaped

Twelve bodies lie on the depot plat
form at Newtown this morning. One
other death is reported, but the name
is not known.
The people were taken by surprise
and few of them had the presence of
mind to seek shelter in cellars before
the storm was upon them. The walls
OF buildings fell with a crash that
sounded above the roar of the storm,
burying persons in the ruins Frame
buildings were twisted and lifted from
their foundations. Many were utterly
demolished. pieces of them being car
ried for miles Others were shisted in
position, but were apparently unhurt.
One house was turned squarely around.
another was turned upside down, but
neither of them seemed to be badly
damaged by the shaking up.
The entire eastern half of the town
was destroyed. The path of the
storm was about 500 or 600 feet wide,
and hardly dwelling in its course

homeless
A thunder storm followed the tor
nado. Women and children ran about
the streets shrieking. Men searched
the ruins in the drenching rain, hop
ing to locate the bodies of victims.
The news of the loss of life and the
number of wounded was telegraphed
to Chillicothe and physicians were re-
quested to come from this city. A

Kansas Troops Distinguish Themselves

MANILA. April 27.-General MacAr-
thurs division crossed the Rio Grande
yesterday and advanced on Apalit,
completely routing the flower of the
rebel army.
The enemy was very strongly in
trenched on the river bank, near both
sides of the railroad bridge. General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston across
with two companies of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment. couple of privates
swimming the swift stream with a
rope, under CALLING fire, for the pur.
pose of guiding the raft.
The men crossed in squads of twenty
and attacked the left flank of tho
rebels, who scuttled like rabbits into
covered ways and trenches.
The rest of the regiment was COM
PEELED to cross the bridge in single
file along the stringers. All the wood
work and much of the ironwork had
been removed. The First Montana
regiment followed the Kansans across
the bridge.
The First Nebraska regiment, act
ing as a reserve. attacked the rebels
in three lines of trenches, driving
them out, killing sixteen and wound
ing many.
In the meantime large body of
Filipinos, estimated at 5000, led by
General Antonio Luna on a black
charger. that was evidently coming to
reinforce the rebels who were engaged
with the Nebraskans. appeared in the
open field about two miles to the left.
Emerging from the jungle. the
enemy formed an open skirmish line
nearly two miles in length, with very
thick reserves behind. Then they ad-
vanced at double quick until they
were about 1000 yards from the Amer
lean line, when General Wheaton or
dered his troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently un-
aware that the Americans had crossed |
the river, broke and ran in the direc-
ton of Macabele. The other Filipinos |
fled toward Apalit station.
The heat in the early part of the
afternoon was terrific, but q drench-
Ing thunder storm, which came later,
greatly refreshed the Americans.

PEACE NEWS P[EhSES THEN
Possibility Of Cessation Of Hostil-
tiles Well Received by Soldiers.
FlLlPIN0S GIVEN MORE TIME.

MANILA, May 1.-While it is thu
general expectation among Americans
that the Filipino emissaries will re
turn with revised proposals from Gen.
eral Antonio Luna, Major General
Otis is not letting this prospect inter.
fere with his preparations for pushing
the war. Yesterday he ordered Major
General Lawton to return to Angat, a
few miles northwest of Norzagaray
and not to advance aggressively while
the negotiations are pending. General
Macarthur is apparently acting upon
the same policy, but he is repairing
bridges and strengthening the lines OF
his for ce, which is stretched out with
a 4-mile front and within a quarter OF
, mile of the enemy.
The possibilities of peace are graf
flying to a great majority of the army.
who have regarded the war as an un-
pleasant duty that must be performed
according to American traditions.
Manila is cheerful over the prospects
OF a return to normal life, though
there are skeptics who remark that a
truce would enable the insurgents to
rest until the rainy season, upon
which they have been depending as
an important aid.
The prisoners report that there are
IS, 900 refugees north of San Fernando.
This is not impossible. considering the
thickly populated region which the
Americans have cleared. 1t seems
also that smallpox is spreading among
them.
When Dean c. Worcester Of the
United States Philippine commission,
who accompanied the Filipino ennis
saries from Calumpit, said to Colonel
Manuel Arguelles that the Americans
were under no obligations to refrain
from fighting, the Filipino officer said:
would you fight while we are dis.
cussing terms of peace?"
Mr.. Worcester responded with the
suggestion that an armistice would
give the Filipino leaders time to es-
cape.
MY God, where would we escape
to-" the Filipino exclaimed, referring
in this to the menacing hostile tribes
behind the Filipino lines
Colonel Arguelles said that he was
much disappointed in the result of his
mission. He said also that Aguinaldo
expected Calumpit to be the cemetery
Of the American army.
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace of the
First Montana regiment, Major Adams
and Major Shields, who slept on Fri
day night in General Luna's camp,
where they went to inform the Filipi-
nos that their ENJOYS would return in
safety. found the Filipino commander
the Filipino troops removing
their hats as the Americans passed.
The Filipinos complained to them that
the Americans used explosive bullets,
which is not the fact. The American
officers retorted that the copper shells
used by the Filipinos are worse than
explosive bullets. General Luna said
ne regretted being obliged to kill
but that was his business.

There has been rioting among the
American and Italian miners en-
ployed in the Hidden Treasure and
Ute and Ulay mines at Hensen, COL.
and the cause Of 1t all is Kitty Law
renee. a pretty clearinghouse
waitress. After working in Denver all
last summer Miss Kitty decided that
she would like to spend the winter in
some OF the mountain towns. She Wis

where she left her address. saying
that she wanted a place outside Of the
city. Mrs. E. Mitchell got an order
rom Lake City for a waitress to work
In boarding house at that place. She
sent for Kitty Lawrence. who decided
to accept. This was about the mid
die Of last October, and the next day
Kitty Lawrence was on her way to the
mining camp. When she went to work
In the clearinghouse she was pleas
ant to all, as usual. Among the
boarders were several Italians. and the
new girl treated all alike. The Ital-
fans were not accustomed to politeness
from an American girl and they fell
in love with her. Kitty Lawrence did
not know that she had won the hearts
Of the Italians. and when they bowed
and suffered to her, she thought 1t
was out Of respect to her, because she
had treated them courteously. The
bowling and suffering increased as
time went on, and at last one of the
Italians, who was holder than the 9TH
ers. went to the waitress and vowed
that he could not live unless she would
consent to become his wife. The offer
Of the Italian was heartily rejected.
and Kitty Lawrence gave it out that
she was going to look for another
place to work. The rejected Italian
told his countrymen that the waitress
had rejected him on account of his
nationality. This enraged all Of them.
80 they decided that their honor must
be INDICATED and that she should pay
the penalty with her life.
A few nights ago these Italians
placed some dynamite on the window
sill Of Kitty Lawrence's bedroom. The
fuse and cap were attached and the
murderers stood of at a dis
lance to watch their f1endish work.
The explosion came and the side Of the
bedroom was torn out, but Kitty Law
renee, white in face and garb, stood
among the wreckage uninjured.
The report Of the attempted assass-
nation spread through that section.
md the Americans in the camp de-
handed of the sheriff that the per-
oetrators of this crime be brought to
Justice. The sheriff was unable to cope
