San Felipe, Texas, April 27.--This morn
ing at 8 o'clock cyclone, accompanied by
haistorm, visited the smitten section.
There has been such continuous down
pour of rain all day that report Of the
disasters can not now be made. No ives
are known to be lost, but the destruction
OF crops is complete, not a vestige OF cot
ton or corn is left and the gardens are as
bleak as m December. Prof. Griffin had a
new barn, carriage house and stable
blown away, his new basgy blown into
the prairie and horse escaped only by the
stable being lifted by the wind and hurled
into wreckage. Bad AS 1t has been and Is
with us. worse still seems to be coming.

overflow right on us. 1t does look hard
for our people again to be so awfully
stricken.

was about mile wide, from southeast to
northwest and not vestige of vegetation
