The American troops also captured a
brass cannon and "A quantity OF arms and
ammunition, and the same evening they
captured a Maxim gun on the railroad.

Emerging from the jungle the enemy

noon was terrific, but drenching thun-

A storm that had been threatening all

wide and as clean as the prairie was
swept through the eastern portion OF the
city, and 200 buildings. homes and mer-
camille houses were levelled To the
ground In scattered ruins.
In the heavy rain that followed the
people who had escaped turned out 10
rescue the injured. For two hours not
much was accomplished. as all was con-
fusion, but by S o'clock 20 dead bodies
had been taken from the ruins IL is
expected that the list of dead Will reach
between 80 and 60. If IL does not exceed
that. Almost 1000 people were more or
less injured. An adequate estimate Of
loss of life and property cannot be had
before noon. Each bsanched face re-
ports a new calamity.
Intense darkness prevailed after the
cyclone. and the rescuers were at dis
advantage for a short time until fire
broke out i'm dozen places In the ruins
