DESTROYED EVERY THING.
Cyclone Sweeps Swath Twenty Rods
Wide.


Minneapolis, Mimi, June PA spe-
cial to the Tribune from hudson says:
One of the most terrific cyclones ever
witnessed by the citizens of HUDSON
passed through the country about $50
p. m. 1t formed in waterspoIt feur
miles south of Hudson on Lake ST.
Croix. 1t was witnessed by IlunG.eds
of people and seemed to follow the AXE
and to be making directly for the city
but about two miles south it Eeereo to
the east and left the lake and crossed
the country. It was 20 rods VIDE and
destroyed everything it struck,
The first building struck was on the
farm of F. G. Mattison. One edge of
the storm struck his buildings, twist
ing his barn out Of shape and throwing
his windmill some rods. 1T then struck
the Gridley farm. The family, seeing
it coming, fled for large stone quarry
about 20 rods from the house, where
they remained safely until it passed.
The house is a small brick one and held
to the foundation, but the shingles
were torn from the roof. The cyclone
veered to the north, leaving the build
ings unharmed, but tearing large oak
trees three feet in diameter out by the
roots and twisting them into every
conceivable shape.
About half mile northeast from
there it struck the buildings of H. I.
reached the place the family and farm
help fled for the cellar. The cellar door
had just closed when the crash came.
This place was directly in the line of
the storm and not a building, tree,
wagon or piece of machinery is left
whole. The house was completely
swept from its foundation and nothing
remained but the floor, which covered
the people in the cellar. Not one of
them was harmed. Every piece of fur
niture was carried rods away and lit
orally torn into shreds. Outside the
house there were two large barns, ma
chine sheds and outbuildings, and all
We're destroyed. Forty cattle and 100
sheep cannot be found at this hour.
w. j. Gilpin, who was passing at the
time, drove in there for shelter, but
was unable to reach the cellar. He
says it was not more than two sec
onds after the cyclone struck him be-
| fore it was all over and he found him
self under a part of a lumber wagon
| with timbers. horses and machinery
! everywhere about him He was un.
| hurt but badly shaken up. The storm
| passed on to the northeast destroying
| everything in it's wake. and was fol-
| lowed by rain in torrents and terrible
| lightning. telegram and telephone
wires are all blown down and adjoining
| towns cannot be heard from.

lAWT0N ADVANCING.
Still Pressing the Filipinos Toward Their
Stronghold at Zapote.


Manila, June IL, 6:45 p. m.--General Law
ton, who occupied the towns of Paranaaue
and Las Pinas yesterday, went aboard the
gunboat Helena this morning and eXark
ined the coast south of Las Pinas for the
purpose of ascertaining the position of the
insurgents, who fled yesterday on the
approach of the American forces.
The secretary of General Pho del Pillar.
who is next to Asuinaldo in command of
the insurgents. deserted on Saturday and
fled to the American lines He informed
General Otis that the rebels would aban-
don Paranaque and Las Pinas and would
take a stand on the bank of ZaDote river
where their strongest position is located.
The information given by the secretary
was apparently true. Last year the Fill
pinos destroyed a Spanish battalion num-
bering 800 men at Zapote.
Engineers are repairing the bridge that
gave way yesterday when the Americans
attempted to cross it, the rebels having
sawed the stringers almost in half before
retreating.
Supplies are being forwarded to the
troops without loss of time and there is
no danger of the men suffering from lack
of provisions and ammunition. Military
wagons are conveying supplies by the
road from Manila while the native light
ers are transporting them to Paranaque
by the water route.
On the march Saturday from San Pedro
Macati a great many of the American
troops were compelled by the intense heat
to fall out and some fears were entertain
ell that they would be either shot or cap
tured by the Filipinos who skulked in the
rear. Fortunately, most of them, after a
short rest. were able to rejoin their COM
rades, and now nearly all stragglers have
been accounted for Nearly 600 men Suf-
fered from heat exhaustion. General
Lawton will advance tomorrow
