ing the Mall road. All the time rain
was pouring down in torrents. the earth
was shaking and the children were ter
rified. The blackness of the night,
falling boulders, the crashing of trees
and fears of the earthquake finally
compelled the party to returs to the
Ida Villa. Even then Miss Stahl had

ing the collapse of the house, sought
to fly into the night.
Misses Reid and Soundry finally made
another attempt and escaped with the
children. They were, however, over

escaped but many Of the children per-
ished.
In the meantime the Ida Villa had
been also destroyed. VIII Burlee, the
sole survivor, says that when 1t was
seen that escape was impossible, sis
ter made them all kneel in prayer and

NEW YORK, Sept SO.-The two
days reception to Admiral Dewey has
ended and will go down in history as
one Of the greatest honors ever be-
slowed upon one individual. The great
naval parade. headed by the powerful
warships and composed Of over a thou

three hours for the war vessels to pass
No East river to Riverside park, where
they came to anchor and reviewed the
almost endless procession of craft that
steamed by. Probably not less than
100000 people saw this magnificent
spectacle from the shores of the river

the various vessels. New York has
never witnessed before anything ap-
preaching this wonderful remarkable

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The home
coming Of Admiral Dewey-for hence
forth the national capital is to be his

greatest tribute ever paid by Washing

had made every preparation to make
the occasion worthy of their hero. The
decorations were elaborate. Pennsyl-

bunting along the entire line of march
from the station to the White House

some display of color on their resi-

dotted the horizon; great searchlights
threw broad beams Of bright light
across the blue sky of clear october
evening and the stately Capitol stood
revealed in all it's queenly beauty in
the powerful rays of many concentrate
ed lights. The same device was used

The Cuban soldiers have come to
their senses and are no longer coy
about coming forward to give up their
arms and receive their share of that
sS,OOOOOO. Nearly 5000 have now re-
tceived their money, and the rest will
not delay the paymasters. The Cuban
army proves to be very much smaller
than represented by the enthusiastic
friends of Cuba Libre, a year or more
ago. but it would have been called of
pretty good size in the days when
American patriots ended English rule
in the colonies.
