SWEPT BY THE STORM
HUNDREDS KILLED IN A WIS
CONSIN CYCLONE.
Town Almost Wiped Out of Existence, the
Number of Killed ana Wounded
Being Placed at ESQ Fire
Breaks Out in Debris.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1.-THE
town of New Richmond was almost
wiped out of existence Monday night
by one of the most severe cyclones that
ever visited that locality. The number
of killed and injured will probably
reach $50.
The news of the disaster was brought
here by ]. A. Carroll, travelling man
from Portage, Wis, who was stopping
at the Nicollet house in New Rich
mond when the cyclone struck. He
saw the funnel-shaped cloud as 1t came
up the principal street and took refuge
in the basement of the hotel, which
was completely wrecked. together with
every other business house in the city.
Mr.. Carroll further says that fire fol-
lowed the cyclone and what was left
is being consumed by fire, Many peo-
pie are doubtless killed and the damage
will run into hundreds Of thousands of
dollars.
Relief is being sent to the scene of
the disaster as rapidly as possible, but
owing to the fact that the railroad
track is washed out in many places,
succor is arriving slowly. Many have
driven overland aud everything posi-
BILE is being done for the sufferers.
A courier from Boardman just in re-
ports that the whole town has been
wiped off the face of the earth, and
while no definite news can be obtained
ut this time of the casualties it is pre-
sumed that many were injured and
possibly some killed. 1t is known that
Dave Hefferon is severely injured and
his wife killed.
At La Crosse, Wis, nearly FIVE inches
of rain fell. Fifty families in northern
La Crosse were compelled to desert
their homes in boats, and the water is
still rising. Over 100 head of live stock
were drowned. Nearly every bridge
in the La Crosse river valley is gone.
The towns of Elroy, Wis, and
Winona, Mimi, were visited by a food
and thousands of people have deserted
their homes for the high lands.
A cyclone struck near Hudson, Wis,
doing considerable damage to farm
buildings, but no loss of life is re-
corded.

Captain Nichols at Rest.

Manila, June 14.-The funeral OF
Captain Henry Nichols, the command
er of the United States double-turreted
monitor Monadnock, who died from
sunstroke on Saturday, took place at
Cavite Monday, with appropriate naval
ceremonies. The officers of the fleet
were present and the flags on all the
vessels were half-masted.
The sudden death of Captain Nichols
was particularly sad because it occurred
just at the moment when the result
for which he had hoped and worked
for months was about to be realized,
namely, the capture of Paranaque and
its occupation by the American forces

BATTLE At LAS PINAS
INSURGENTS RESIST DESPER-
ATELY ARID AGGRESSlVELY.
General Law ton stlrs up One of the Liveiiesi
Battles of the War In the Philip
pineB-Whole Force OF 3 1000
Americans Engage ed.

Manila, June 15.-The fighting at
Las Pinas Tuesday has proven to be
one of the most stubbornly contested
battles of the war in the Philippines.
The loss to the American forces is
placed at sixty, while the insurgent
loss, although heavy, win probably
never be known.
On this occasion the American field
guns were engaged in the first artillery
duel against Filipino battery, con.
cealed in the jungle. Companies f and
l of the Twenty-first infantry were
nearly surrounded by large body of
insurgents, but the Americans cut
their way out with heavy losses.
The United States turret-ship Mon
adnock and the gunboats Helena and
Zatiro trained their batteries on Ba
coor, and the rebel trenches near Las
Pinas all morning. Bacoor was once
on fire, but the natives stopped the
spread of the flames.
During the previous night an insur,
gent cannon was fred three times at
the Americans on the outskirts of Las
Pinas. General Lawton the following
morning took a battalion of the Four
teenth regiment and two companies o.
the Twenty-first regiment to locate the
rebel battery, and then two guns OF
the Sixth artillery and four mountain
guns were planted against it at 600
yards distance. Tie rebels had largo
gun from which they were firing home
made canister and bombs, loaded with
nails, and two smaller guns.
Their shooting was most accurate
The first lot of canister burst directly
in front of SCOTS guns, and another
shattered the leg of private in the
Fourteenth infantry. Several shots
struck the edge of the town. The
Filipino force engaged appears to have
been the largest and best organized
body of men which have met our troops
The American soldiers fought at
great odds all day, the insurgents havs
ing the advantage of position, and the
day being intensely hot. Many of the
boys in blue were picked off by sharp
shooters, and a number of them
succumbed to the heat. The insur-
gents were driven back only 500 wards
during the days fighting, but when
night came they were demoralized, and
1t is not thought they will make a
further stand at once.

MET A WARM RECEPTION.


Filipinos Attempt to Steal Upoa American
Forces at San Fernando.
Washington, June Is.-The follow
ing adviees have been received from
Manila under date Of June IS:
After cutting the railroad and tele-
graph at Apalit, seven miles south, for
the purpose of severing connection,
the rebels attacked General MacAr-
thurs lines at San Fernando at $3.50
this morning. They met with an un-
expectedly warm reception and we're
repulsed with loss Of seventy-five
killed, thirty prisoners and many
wounded
The rebel forces, estimated TO have
numbered 5000 men, advanced steadily
from the jungle north of the city and
then divided, With the evident purpose
of surrounding the Americans The
outposts Of the Iowa regiment discov-
cred the enemy, and retired to their
lines, where the entire division await
ed in an intrenched position.
The Kansas aud Iowa regiments re-
ceived the first shock of the attack.
Reserving their fire until the enemy
was within six hundred yards, the
first volley of the Americans hit the
rebels, who returned the fire wildly,
the rest Of their line falling to advance.
The Americans, who thoroughly en-
joyed the novelty of the situation Of
awaiting an attack, sailed forth, and
the insurgents thereupon turned and
fled into the jungle. Our loss was
fourteen men wounded, and the major
ity of them are only slightly hurt.
General Funstons brigade of Kan
sas and Mon tanas, and General Hales
brigade, the seventeenth regiment and
the Iowa regiment, constituted the
force engaged.
Aguinnldo is reported TO have per-
sonally conducted the attack, and
preparations were made for several
days to bring forward troops from
Candaba, and others from Dagupan
were transported by rail.

BAcooR IN RUINS.
Shells From American Guns Knocks the
Town 90 Pieces,

Manila, June l6.-The Filipinos re-
treated several miles southwark after
Tuesdays engagement to the strongly
fortified town Of linus. The Smelling
Of the American warships drove the
rebels from Bacoor. The Americans
control several more miles of the coast.
General Lawton, with his staff and a
troop of the Fourth cavalry, started to
ascertain the nature Of the insurgents
position. He rode Ave miles along the
coast to Bacoor, without discovering
the enemy
He found the town full of white
flags, but their were no soldiers there,
The women and children who had fed
TO the woods during the bombardment
were camping in the ruins Of their
homes. The shells had almost knocked
the town to pieces. The big church
was wrecked, and many buildings were
ruined. Even the trees and shrubbery
were torn as by hailstorm.
Several hundred women and child
rem came into the American lines for
refuge and the road from Bacoor was
covered all day long with professions
of them on foot and in carts, driving
animals and carrying goods on their
heads.
The appearance of the battlefield
testified to the ferceness Of the fight
ing. The trees along the river between
the lines are almost torn down by bull
let's. The American officers estimate
that 100 insurgents were killed, and
that 300 were wounded during the en-
gagement.
The next battle will probably be
fought at linus.
The American troops will soon con-
troll the coast to Cavite.

Manila, June 15.-The battlefield
upon which occurred the severe fight,

OF several of the greatest struggles be-

The Zapote was considered impregn.

Filipinos have been killed while fight,

the Filipinos by defeating the Spanish
army there on the eve of decisive
battle, carrying native militia with
them and thereby breaking the chain
OF defence around Manila.
