TORNADO IN THE SOUTH.
Ninsty Dead and Over 100 Injured by .
Storm in Texas.

Dallas, Tex, May 20.-A special to
the News from Goliad, Tex, says:
Ninety are dead. Over 100 are
wounded. In addition there is a gap
ing wound in the town-the path OF
one Of the most destructive cyclones
ever known in Texas. The tornado
struck this place about S:45 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, lasting only about
five minutes, leaving death and disaster
everywhere in its wake.
1t came from the southeast without a
warning, completely demolishing a
strip aboat two blocks wide through
the whole western part OF the town,
about mile long. Among the many
houses demolished ale the Baptist
church and parsonage, just built, the
Methodist church and a colored church.
1t is impossible to estimate the number
OF houses destroyed, but it is thought
the nnmber will reach 100. The
amount of damage done cannot be ap-
proximated, but it is very great. All
the human dead and wounded have
been taken care of. The path of de-
vastation is strewn with all kinds of
debris and dead and wounded animals.
The pitiful cries of the wounded are
to be heard everywhere, and at times
are heartrending.
A report from the country around
Goliad is to the effect that no damage
was done.
A special train bearing the O'Conner
guards, six physicians, nurses and
mary volunteers, came from Victoria,
and also special train from Cuero,
bringing physicians, nurses, druggists
and volunteers. Although everything
is being done for the relief of the
wounded, cries for physicians and med
ical attention are everywhere heard.
So far 80 dead and l20 injured have
been reported.

Ws,srspous in Minnesota.

Preston, Nina. May 2I.-The water
spout that struck near Preston last
night flooded the country for miles
around, and caused he death of five
persons. The prop,rty loss will be
heavy. Reports from the wsoIern part
OF the county say il was one Of the
worst storms ever witnessed in that
section. On the level prairies farmers
lost a great deal Of stock, and near
Granger about 20 buildings we're de-
molished. Eight feet Of water swept
over Preston, moving eight or 10
houses from their foundations.

Chicago, May l9.-During the prog
ress of fire which destroyed the lard
refinery of Armour & Co., in the Union
Stock Yards, 29 people we're injured
seven of them in manner which will
probably cause death in short time.
The loss of the company is estimated
by its officers at between $3.50, 600 and
$500, 900, with the chances in favor of
the latter figure, and is fully covered
by insurance. The largest number of
those who were hurt met their injuries
by the falling of the hog runway upon
which they were standing to obtain a
better view of the fire,

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.
viii Take the Whole Time OF the Senate
This Week.

Washington, May 2l.-The entire
time of the senate for the present week
will be devoted to the consideration of
the Philippine government bill, and
there are hopes that the debate on that
measure will be completed before the
end of the week. The fact that there
will be an adjournment of the senate
covering next Saturday, in order to
permit that body to participate in the
unveiling of the Rochambeau statue,
probably will have the effect of post
poning the final vote until the follow
ing Monday or Tuesday. There is,
however, no longer doubt in any quarter
that the minority will permit a vote as
soon as the debate on the bill is ex-
hausted. Under the present arrange
ment the bill will occupy most all the
time of the senate this week the pros
pect is against the sandwiching in of
much other business. Speeches in sup
port of the bill are promised by Sena-
tors Burrows, Dolliver and Spooner,
and in opposition to it by Senators
Hoar, Bacon, Patterson and others.

Iiouss Nav Consider Pacific Cable.

Washington, May 21.-After finish
ing the naval bill this week, the house
will take up the bill reported from the
committee on foreign affairs relating to
passports. One day will be devoted TO
claims, the regular day for that bust

Under special order bill for the le-
striction OF irrigation will be taken up,
and it is expected will cause quite a
lively debate. There is also a prospect
of taking up the Hill bill relating to
subsidiary coinage. This measure will
be strongly antagonized by the minori-
ty, and may precipitate discussion on
the currency question. Early in the
week the committee on rules will hold
a meeting to decide whether or not time
shall be given for the consideration OF
the bill for a Pacific cable.

ENGLANO'S LATE SUMNER.
Rain, Snow and Hail Put a Damper on All
Festivities

London, May 20.-So far as it has
progressed in London, rain, snow and
hail have been England's harbingers
OF summer. Never has there been such
an inclement spring. Americans who
have come over for the coronation sit
around in doleful groups, waiting for
the sunshine that never comes. Wo-
men go to the opera and clubs in furs,
and the men have long since reverted
to their winter clothes, 80 prematurely
discarded in sunny April. No amount
of festivities, and there are plenty of
them, can dispel the universal gloom
that the awful weather has created. In
the northern part of the country there
was actually skating this past week
while an automobile trip to Scotland
has been abandoned. London itself
has been spared this last visitation,
but cold northeast winds and perpetual
rains fully brought the unsavory
weather record of the metropolis up to
that Of the provinces, when it became
slightly warmer.

NO OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.
Alleged Remark of Gen. Bragg, Con-
sui General at Havana.

The peculiar criticism of the Cuban people
ascribed In a publication this morning to
Gen. Bragg, United States consul general
at Havana, has not been officially brought
to the attention of the State Department
and until 1t is there will be no action in the
case. Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister
spent the day in one of the suburban re-
sorts and consequently did not call at the
department. 1t will be for him, if any one
to make complaint. Then the natural course
will be to call upon Gen. Bragg for an ex-
PLANTATION, and if he admits the authenticity
OF the quotation, and the Cuban govern
ment so desires, he must be relieved.
Consul General Bragg was represented as
saying in letter to his wife that while
pleased with his office, he did not like it as
well as he did the post as minister to Mex
leo, and gave 1t as his opinion that the Mex
leans are superior to the Cubans He is
quoted as saying:
Uncle Sam might well try to make a
whistle out of pigs tail az to try to make
something out o. the Latin race
