ARMY FLEES.
AMERICAN MOVE SURPRISES
AGUiNALDO'S TROOPS.
Fierce Citing Marks the Advance
to Paranaque-Two officers Killed
and Twenty-one Soldiers Wounded
Insurgent Loss Is Very Heavy.

s Manila advices say that Gen Lawton
has occupied Paranaque and the village of
Malibay, to the north, and Las Pinas, to
the south, preparatory to moving upon
Bacoor, whence the insurgents fled during
the night. The natives deserted Para
naque and the trenches south of Manila,
finding the Americans behind them, and
escaped along the coast. Only alleged
amigos were found in Paranaque.
An American force, 4 500 strong, Satur-
day drove the insurgents from the entire
district between Manila bay and Bay lake,
from San Pedro Macati to Paranaque.
The natives resisted the advance, attack
ing the United States troops while they
were crossing a swamp and fighting from
well-built intrenchments, but were routed
with heavy loss. In one trench fifty dead
Filipinos were found. The American loss
was two officers killed and twenty-one sol
diers wounded. The extreme heat and
rough country added to the difficulty of
the movement. Many Of the United States
soldiers were forced to drop out exhaust
ed. Four warships, including the monitor
Monadnock, shelled the town of Para
naque, driving the natives out.

CLEVELAND CARS TIED UP.

Strikers Completely stop Traffic on
Fourteen Lines.
What promised to be long and bitter
contest between the Cleveland, Ohio,
Electric Railway Company and its 900
employees was inaugurated at O'Clock
Saturday morning by strike which tied
up all the fourteen lines operated by the
company These lines reach all sections
of the city and they form the only means
of transportation for more than 100, 900
persons living in territory five miles long
and three Lliles wide at the south end.
There were several riotous demonstrations
Saturday, but none of really serious ma
ture, except one ON Ontario street in the
afternoon, when William Steffen, division
superintendent of the Big Consolidated
road, was seriously injured by being hit
on the head with a bottle thrown from the
crowd while he was trying to move car
which had been disabled by a mob. The
wounded man was taken to his home i'll an
unconscious condition. Jacob Kratz was
also struck On the head by a stone thrown
from the mob and is in a serious condition.
The strike is mainly for the recognition
of the union, and the men have been pre-
dent Henry A. Everett says he is willing
to concede all the other demands of the
men and will adjust all other grievances
when presented by his employees, but he
declares that he Will never recognize the
union, whose demands he characterizes as

TWENTY FIVE ARE DROWNED.
Cloudburst in Texas Does Damage to
Lie and PrOperty.

ClOudburst in Texas Does Damage to
Life and Property.
Human lives and property to the value
Of thousands of dollars were destroyed by
cloudburst in Texas, which transformed
the rivers and smaller streams into raging
torrents, sweeping everything before
them. Meager reports from the devastat-
ed districts all tell Of the loss of life. A
careful estimate puts the number at TWEEN
ty-hVe, but later returns, it is feared, will
swell the grewsome total. Reports came
from San Saba and Manardville, small
towns ninety miles north of Austin, in the
mountains, saying that both towns had
been swept by the raging floods and were
badly devastated. In San Saba eight peo-
pie were drowned and the entire town is
reported under water. The river at that
point is one mile wide and running like a
mill race. At Manardville thirteen houses
were swept away. San Saba is located in
valley, and vast tracts of wheat fields
are under water. These crops will prove
total loss. Many persons had difficulty
in getting to high land before the rise
came.
The situation at Manardville is even
more serious. A small town located to the
right and in the bend Of the river in the
valley, it proved an easy prey to the rag
ing torrents. Seventeen people are known
to have been drowned there and there may
be others. OF those drowned two were
young white girls. The others were all
negroes. The townShas been laid to waste
by the floods and all the surrounding coun-
try is inundated

James ]. Jeffries won the championship
of the world Friday night from Robert
Fitzsimmons \ knockout blow in the
eleventh round ended the big fistic battle
in the Coney Island Athletic Clubs arena.
In almost every round Jeffries had the
better of it. The result did not come sud
denly The Californian had outfought
Fitzsimmons from start to finish, and the
Australian was fast weakening when the
blow on the jaw put him to sleep. Fitz-
simmons. as he frankly admitted after the
battle, found his opponent too big and
strong for him. Time and again blow
from his opponent knocked him down, and
when it was all ended he had no excuses
to make.
The contest was pulled off without
wrangle and was probably as devoid of
the brutal elements as would be possible
in a prize fight. Jeffries fought from a
crouching attitude that was hard to get at.
He held his head low, his back was bent
down and his left arm extended. He kept
jabbing away with the left, and found no
trouble in landing it. 1t was there that
his superior reach told. That giant arm
served as sort of human fender to ward
off danger. He showed an excellent de-
Tense and the ability to use both hands
with skill. He is game, too, for he never
shrank from his punishment. Those who
saw it claim it was great tight to watch.

FIERCE WIND STORM KILLS.
Tornado Spreads Death and Ruin in
Iowa and Nebraska.

Tornado Spreads Death and Ruin in
Iowa and Nebraska.
Four persons were killed, one fatally in
jured and several others seriously hurt by
a tornado which swept over part of Da-
kota County, Nebraska, and Woodbury.
County, Iowa, late Sunday afternoon. The
storm, after demolishing several houses in
the outskirts of Salix, Iowa, passed on to
the southwest, uprooting trees and laying
waste all in its path.
This is the sixth tornado which has Wis
tied that section since winter. 1t missed
the thickly settled portion of Salix by
only a few hundred feet. AS it was, de-
bris from the wrecked buildings was scat
tered through the town, adding to the
CONSERVATION which the approach of the
funnel-shaped cloud spread among the
residents. The Malloy family was at sup
per when the cloud was first seen and
Dick Malloy told his parents to go to the
cellar. He ran to the home of Mrs. Has
sell. widow. across the road, to warn
her and her seven children. He took them
to the cellar moment before their house
was whirled away and all escaped injury.
He had to hold one boy by the legs as he
was being drawn up by the suction of the
wind The members of the Malloy family
only remained in the cellar about five min
utes, the father suggesting that the cloud
meant nothing more serious than rain.
All came up and in an instant the house
was demolished and four of the family
killed.
The storm cloud. which formed in Ne
braska. crossed the river just opposite
Salix about $50 o'clock, when nearly all
the townspeople were on their porches.
The black funnel seemed headed directly
for the little city and the inhabitants were
panic-stricken Many rushed into their
homes and hid in the corners Of the cell
lars Others fed to the open fields, where
they lay prone upon the earth awaiting
the furious wind. In few minutes the
rain began to fall, but the cloud passed
south of the town, where four houses were
laid in ruins At Homer, Neb., revival
tent was blown over
