day advanced. Clouds began to gath
er AMI about o'clock sharp lightning
flashed in the southwest The air be-
came heavy and sitting The velocity
Of the wind suddenly began 10 increase
and out of the overcast sky the dreaded
funnel-shaped cloud made lis appear
ance. Hugging close to the earth it
came down upon the city. The alu-
tude of the cyclone was not more than
70 feet.
Negro shauties and cottages in the
lowlands were the principal sufferers.

GOVERNMENT USING SPIES.
Army Appropriation Bill Contained Pro-
vIslon for Their Pay.

NEW YORK, March 25.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
The United States government is en-
ployiug spies to obtain information rel
ative 10 the plans OF the insurgents in
the Philippines. Formal recognition Of
the employment Of spies by the United
States is made in the last army appro-
priatiOn law. An appropriation Of
S24O0,O 900 is authorizes for incidental sx-
penses, among which is hire Of labor
ers in the quar.ermaster' department,
including The hire Of interpreters,
spies or guides for the army
This provision has created much COM
ment among military attaches Of for
eign governments in Washington. They
ADMIT the universal practice Of using
spies but they say it is not customary
abroad to acknowledge The fact as
openly as the United States does. The
var department declines to give any
facts concerning the employment of
spies, but it is admitted that General
Macarthur has a secret service which
has been invaluable TO the military
government in the Philippines.

NEW YORK. March 25.--A dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
1t is reported in many quarters that
the chancellor Of the exchequer will
have TO find such huge sum Of money
in his budget statement that foreign
grain coming into this country may
have to bear some Of the burden Of
extra taxation. It is almost impossible
further to increase the amount levied
on many articles that now provide ma
tional revenue, but, with a strong and
well led opposition, taxation Of i'm
ported breadstuffs would b. out Of the
question.

Starting in the peg mill of James

Nov. 3rd, fire destroyed a large part
Of the business section of Lisbon, Y.

the flames quickly spread to the ad-
joining buildings on Main street. Not

blocks burned, but several dwelling
houses also were swept before the
fire. The burned buildings include

& Co.'s feed mill and Ned @. English's
grist mill, besides two or three halls.
Merrill's drug store was also destroy
ed. All the buildings on Main street
from the peg mill to the iron bridge
were burned. The fremen were un-
able to get any control over the fire,
and conld only let it burn itself out.
The fire was the most disasterous
in the history of the town, and at n
time, while the flames were raging
with immense fury, it was feared that
the business and central residential
section would be wiped out. The loss
is estimated at $50, 900.

LOST BOTH LEGS.
Ten Year Old Lad at clifton friEhtfuiiy
Injured.

One of the most shocking and deplor-
able accidents which ever occurred In
Clifton, Arizona, happened last Sunday
afternoon on the railroad track near
the sawmill, by which Robert Brock, a
lad ten years of age, was deprived OF
both legs. says the Clifton Era. The
little fellow had inst brought a lunch
to his father who is employed in the
sawmill, and had left the mill and
started down the track when he was
overtaken and run over by the engine
OF the Stag train. His right foot was
severed at the ankle and the left leg
cut of below the knee. His father
and others, who were near by, ran to
him as soon as possible and picked him
up. His first inquiry was for his hat,
and next he asked ifhis legs were gone.
As 1t happened both Drs. Fales and
Davidson were in that section OF the
town, and were able to lend almost inn
mediate assistance. The little fellow
was conveyed TO the old hospital In
East Clifton, where both legs were
ambutated in very short time after
the accident happened. The little fell
low has been doing remarkable well
ever since, and 1t now seems that his
life will be spared.

Marshal.
London. Jan. 3.-Lord Roberts to-
day received a royal welcome on his
return TO London after a years alb
sence In South Africa. The crowds
were not so dense nor so demonstra-
tive as during the recent war celebra-
tions. There prevailed on all sides a
feeling that the progress OF the cam
paign did not warrant triumphal ova-
tions. though this in no respect de-
tracted from the affection with which
the little field marshal was greeted. He
appeared in perfect health ami walk
cd down each rank of soldiers saluting
with his left hand, as his right Is in a
sling, as the result Of his fall from his
horse.
A procession was formed 10 escort
Roberts to Buckingham Palace by
way OF Hyde Park and Piccadilly.
Deafening cheers greeted the new
comma nder-in in-chief along the route.
At Paddlngton station Roberts was
greeted by the Prince OF Wales an /
other members OF the royal family,
who shook hands with the field mar
shall, while the bands played national
airs. The Princess OF Wales engage
Roberts in conversation at some
length. The scene was brilliant. The
Prince OF Wales escorted Lady Rob-
erts to buckingham Palace. The field
marshal was presented with an ad-
dress from the municipality OF Pad

A Young Man Who Listened TO Fool

Phoenix.

A young man whose name on account
OF his relatives ought not 10 be printed,
was tried In United States court AT
Phoenix for a violation Of the Edmunds
act with woman old enough to be
his mother. There were several bad
features about the case, says the Re
publican. The woman had also initi-
ated the youth into the mysteries OF
opium smoking. His own mother had
made the complaint which will prob
ably lodge him in Yuma.
His mother tried 10 save him by
making complaint against him and the
woman, hoping 20 send him 20 reform
school. United States Attorney Nor
rison and Assistant United States At
torney Bennett joined in an effort TO
save him and thought they had done so.
Attorney George p. Bullard was also
engaged in this attempt at salvation.
But some fool friends and chimney cor
ner lawyers OF the foolish youth told
him 70 stand on his rights; that they
couldn't prove anything against him;
to laugh at them and tell them 10 crack
their whip.
When the defendant was put on the
stand he denied his admission and

men are concerned, President Dolphin
OF the order will yet be heard from by

which comes about in this way;
Dolphin had been in Galveston sew
eral weeks In conference with General
Manager Polk, regarding the proposed
schedule of wages, and, after the strike
had been declared, left for Topeka,
the systems headquarters. Dolphin
travelled on pass. In getting aboard
the train, he was observed by General
Manager Polk, who Immediately wired
the conductor TO take up Dolphin's 8
transportation and put him of the
train.
Dolphin rendered money in payment
for his passage, which was refused
under instructions Of the most positive
nature. so the telegrapher found him
self "ditchedn at small station north
OF Galveston. There was hurried re-
construction OF opinion with Santa Fe-
officials, for in an exceedingly short
time freight train stopped at Dol
phin's station with orders to pick up
the telegrapher and take him north. B
Dolphin accepted passage under
difficulties, paying his fare, he says,
but does not consider the company is
