Treacherously Killed by FiiIplnos.

Manila, May 2S.-The cable ship Re-
corder, while picking up cable be.
tween the islands of Negros and Cebu,
went to the town of Escalante, on the
former island. She landed n party In a
launch, consisting of the commander,
second officer and several of the crew,
and also Captain Tilley of the signal
corps, who was present on board the
ship to observe the cable operations.
A flag of truce had been hoisted by the
rebels, who waited until the party had
landed and then treacherously poured
a murderous volley upon them.
Captain Tilley and one of the men at
once threw themselves into the water.
The commander of the Recorder, by
running great risk, managed to reach
the launch, and put Off from the bank
to save 1t from being captured by the
rebels.
Meanwhile rain of bullets was fall
ing all around the fugitives. The sec
ond mate was picked up by the launch
just as he was sinking, but was alive.
He said that the last he saw of Cap,
tain Tilley the latter was swimming
feebly by his side. The steamer was
far out from shore. but those on board
could see that other Malay seamen
were caught by the rebels, fiogged and
then cut to pieces.
The ship returned TO Iloilo and with.
In an hour troops were dispatched to
the scene OF the attack.

AN important advance was made to-

roRNADo>sRlNos DEATH.

Sweeps Across Dakota and Nebrnslsa.
Chamberlain, s. D., May 2S.-Word
reached town this evening of u disas
trous and fatal tornado which passed
across the country in the vicinity OF
Bijou Hills, twenty-five miles south Oh
this city yesterday afternoon, resulting
In the death of seven persons and the
serious injury of two others.
The killed are Charles Peterson ana
his six children, ranging from to ID
years Of age. The wife and two chill
dren were SO badly injured that they
may also die.
The tornado formed on section i'll
plain view of hundreds and moved in Ii
southerly course, the first place reach
ed being that of Arr COden, which was
totally destroyed.
The storm then destroyed n 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 We're smashed into
splinters.
After doing its worst here, the tor
nado passed into the range of hills
skirting the Missouri river, where 1t
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 heavy fall of rain
and hail. the latter being as 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.

COOPERATIVE MINING A
SUCCESS AT LEADVILLE.

several districts of the state the miners
and employees have come to an UNDER
standing that bids fair to cause the
least possible friction. The miners in
such districts as work nine and ten
hours have conceded that in view Of
reduction of time it Is no more than
fair that the employers should have the
full benefit of all the time paid for,
and therefore time will commence at
the point Of work. and not at the collar
of the shaft as heretofore. This Is the
conclusion that has been reached in
Boulder, Lake, Summit San Juan. Ou.
ray, San Miguel. Mineral, Hinsdale,
Gunnison and Eagle counties
In Cripple Greek and Pitkin counties
tile present situation is not affected by
the law. both districts having the eight
hour rule already in force In most of
these districts. however. the sentiment
of the employers is strongly in favor of
permitting all who desire to work ten
hours to do so. as it is the consensus Of
the legal opinions sought that the re-
suit of n test will be the declaration OF
the unconstitutionality of the law. 1t
is hardly probable that this test will be
made in the mining sections, rs the
concessions mutually made by most of
the employers and smelters have prac-
tically settled the question.

Plan IL to Introduce Horseless Cabs De-

New York, May 3O.-It was learned
to-day that the Whitney Widener-E FL
kins electric vehicle syndicate will
shortly introduce in Denver an auto
mobile cab, delivery and express wag-
on service of fnr-reaching effect.
Steps are now being taken quietly
for the formation of a company of To-
cal capitalists in Denver which will
have the direct management of the
concerns business in that city, though
the patent company of New York will
probably retain controlling interest
in the stock.
The plan is to supply cheap cab
service, which will practically do away
with all horse vehicles in public use
In Denver. as well as delivery sys-
TEN for merchants and truck system
for the needs of manufacturers and
jobbers and transfer business.
The Denver Electric Vehicle Com

Waterloo, Ia., May 2S.-The through
train from Chicago to Minneapolis over
the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar

crossing Of Sink creek, about four
miles southeast of this place.
The train consisted Of five coaches, in
Guiding mail and baggage cars, smok,
ing car, two passenger coaches and
sleeper. Nine persons were killed and
twenty-three injured, most of them Sc
rously.
A cloudburst had washed out the
sand and gravel roadbed, leaving the
track unsupported for q stretch of
twenty feet. The rails and the ties held
together and there was nothing to indi-
cate the insecurity of the road.
The engine struck the washout and
was derailed in the ditch beside the
track. Behind it the cars were piled In
confused heap.
The mail car toppled over and was
telescoped by the baggage car behind,
while the rear end of the baggage car
in turn telescoped the smoker.
The roof of the sleeper ploughed its
way through the day coach while the
lower half Of the latter crushed through
the sleeper.
The engineer and fireman jumped
from the train and escaped with slight
Injuries.

Havana, May 2S-There we're Ill
applications to-day for shares In the
So. 600 600 which the United States has
offered as gratuity to the Cuban
troops. Thirty We're given $75 each.
The others were not on the rolls, al
though they had guns which they were
ready to turn in and certificates of SER
vice.
The Uni.ed States militry authorities
consider that the rolls are very unre-
Liable. Indeed, the opinion is freely ex-
expressed that n large proportion Of
the names are fictitious and that the
rolls omit n majority of the names of
those rightly entitled to share in the
gratuity.
The object of this. apparently, is to
tiiscredft the proceedings and to show
the Cuban public that 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 its
commnndant He pointed out thirty
four names of men who are dead and
names of others who had not been
heard of outside the rolls.
OF those paid to-day twenty-fiv
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 it will be necessary to
have additional days after while here
and extra pay rolls for men who have
undoubtedly seen service. He also be-
lleves that the payment to be contin-
ued for the next three days at 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 he made
on Tuesday at Santiago de Las Vegas,
whittier Colonel Randall, the clerks
and thirty soldiers will go with the
paymaster.
