RAIN NO HiNORANCE.
General Otis Proposes to Wage IN Az
gressive Campaign.

General Otis PrOpOaes 10 WSS0 ~ ~
gressive Campaign.
Manila, May 3O.-In spite OF tie
general impression to the contrary,
General Otis declares that the cam
paipn against the rebels will be prose-
cuted with the utmost aggressiveness
throughout the rainy season. General
Lawton believes that the speedy settle
ment of the present troubles and the
end of hostilities depend largely upon
the Americans giving rigid protection
to the working classes in their peaceful
occupations while waging incessant
war against the armed forces OF the
enemy henceforth by means OF guerrilla
warfare. He expects to show the
rebels by vigorous action on rivers,
lakes and mountains that our troops
can cam paign in the rainy season or in
the mountains, despite the belief other
wise. Changing conditions may later
demand garrisoning by districts to al
low the investment of capital and the
prosecution of industries ~uHtil the
Americans are in absolute control.
Filipino prisoners just brought in
from Luna's lines declare that he is ar
resting all natives in sympathy with
the peace party. 1t is also reported
that Aguinaldo is dead. This is de-
MED, and cannot be confirmed. No
one believes the rumor. 1t is said that
General Luna will retire from the field
for a time in order to recover from
wound recently received. Lawton has
returned here from San Fernando.

SWEPT BY A TORNADO.
Heavy Damage Done in Hamilto
County, Nebraska,

Heavy Damage Done in Hamilton
County, Nebraska.
Omaha, May 30.-A special to the
Bee from Central City, Neb.. says:
Probably the most destructive tornado
that ever visited Nebraska passed
through the northern part of Hamilton
county last night at o'clock. destroy
ing from $50, 900 to $780, 600 worth of
property. including 10 dwellings, one
church, one schoolhouse, two iron
bridges across the Blue river, barns,
corn cribs, outbuildings. orchards,
fences and stock.
The track of the storm was Sc miles
in length and about 100 yards in width.
During the blow a little rain fell,
accompanied by immense hail stones,
some as large as tin cup. In nearly
every case the families sought shelter in
cellars. While there were many mar.
row escapes, strange to say. no one was
seriously injured. The loss to crops
will be slight, but the groves and
orchards were ruined. A majority of
the farms were insured, but it will be
impossible for several days to get the
amount of individual losses. House.
hold goods and clothing were all de-
stroyed.
Probably 5000 people visited the
scene today.

Manila, May 30.-While at Esca-
lante, on the island of Negros, picking
up the cable between that island and
Cebu, the cable-ship Recorder landed
a party in a launch, consisting of the
commander. second officer and several
of the crew, and Captain lilly, of the
signal corps. A party Of rebels waited,
under flag of truce, until the Ameri-
cans had landed, and then treacherous-
ly poured murderous fire upon them.
Captain lilly and one man at once
spring into the water, and the COM
mander of the Recorder, under great
risk, m anaged to reach the launch and
put off from the bank to save it from
being captured by the rebels. The
second mate was picked up by the
launch just as he was sinking. He
said that when he saw Captain Tilly
last he was swimming feebly. Though
the steamer was far out from shore,
those aboard saw the Malay seamen
caught by the rebels, fogged and cut
to pieces.
General Smith, with a detachment

Joplin Man Murdered His Family and

Joplin, Mo-, May 30.-In and near
a tent in the southeastern part of town
today were found the dead bodies of j..
E. Moss, his wife, an infant child, a
girl of z years, and boy Of 9 years.
The heads of all, save Moss, had been
mashed with a hammer. He had a
bullet hole in his head, and still
clasped revolver. He had apparently
killed his family and then committed
suicide. The motive is a mystery.
The tragedy is believed to have oc-
Cured Tuesday night. while the family
were asleep. Neighbors living within
200 feet of the tent knew nothing of
the tragedy till today. A shot was
heard Tuesday night, coming from the
direction of the tent, but no investiga-

made his living scraping the ore about
the abandoned mines, and the tent fur
niture and clothes of the family indi-
Gated that he had prospered. The FAM

CAUSED BY WASHOUT
Passenger Train Wrecked
Near Waterloo, la.
NINE KILLED AND % INJURED
Track Was Undermined by Cloud
burst-Engine Derailed and tho
Coaches Piled Up.

Waterloo, Ia, May 80. The through
train from Chicago to Minneapolis,
over the Rock Island and Burlington.
Cedar Rapids & Northern railways,
was wrecked at 1:l5 this morning, at
the crossing of Sink creek, about four
miles southeast of this place. The
train consisted of five coaches, includ-
ing mail and baggage cars, smoking
car, two passenger coaches and sleeper.
Nine persons were killed and % in.
jured. The list of dead is as follows:
L. Arnold, lum herman. Minneapolis;
Will Schollian, of Waterloo; w. A.
Mclaughlin, Muskegon, Mich; R. H.
Schwette, Alton, ILL.,; David Halo.
Minneapolis; F. S. Carpenter, st.
Louis; Hawkins, pullman conductors;
George Wainwright, train conductor;
one unknwn person.
A cloudburst had washed the sand
and gravel roadbed, leaving the track
unsupported for stretch of 70 feet.
The rails and ties held together, and
there was nothing to indicate the inse-
curity of the road. The engine struck
the washout and was derailed in the
ditch beside the track, and 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.
Mr.. Schwette. of Alton, ILL.,, was
brought to this city alive, but died at
8 o'clock. He was badly cut about the
head, and it was evident from the be-
ginning that his injuries were fatal.
He was on his way to Minneapolis.
where he was to be married today. He
asked his physician to telegraph his
father and his sweetheart. "Tell her. )"
he gasped. "that l have been detained
by wreck, and cannot keep the ap-
pointment on time. Don't say any
more"
The news was brought to this city by
a mail clerk. The fire whistle was
blown and switch engine and coach
were hastily prepared and a relief train
sent very speedily. The injured pas
sengers were extricated from the debris
and brought here. Another relief
train soon arrived from Cedar Rapids,
and took number of the seriously in
jured to be treated in the hospital in

or the Making Of Books.
S7azi4slE2l23:|ziID

Some 1856 books were published in
the United States last year. The usual
edition of any book published is 1000
copies, and the general average may
reach 1900. Thus more than O,OOO.-
600 volumes were put on sale last
year. During the past ten years the
product has been about 100, 900. 900
volumes. There would be enough
books to stock 10000 Libraries with
10000 books each. 1t has been found,
however, that the wood paper now used
quickly yellows and crumbles, SO that
in so years many of the cheaper books
will have turned into dust.-N. Y.

CUBAN ROLLS BOGUS.

Authorities Believe That Many Names
Are Fictitious.
Havana. May S0.-There were Ill
applicants today to share the So, 600,
900 which the United States has offered
as a glatuity to the Cuban troops.
Thirty were givep $75 each. The
others were not on the rolls, although
they had guns which they were ready
to turn in. and certificates of service.
The United States authorities con-
slider that the rolls are very unreliable.
Indeed. the opinion is freely 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 proce lings. and to show the
Cuban public that large number OF
the troops refused to take American
money.
