concluded by expressing the hope that
the house would kill all the bills and
leave the Pacific ocean open to anv
company which cared to undertake the
laying of a cable.
Mr.. Mann of Illinois closed the de-
! bate with a speech in favor Of the
measure.
Work on Cable in Progress.
Mr.. Adamson of Georgia moved 10

proposed to lay he read a cablegram

cable to be laid between San Francisco
and Honolulu had been completed and
that the work was proceeding at the
rate Of twenty-six miles a day. The
cablegram said that a steamer would
leave with the cable for san Francisco
before Aug. 1.
Mr., HIN Of Connecticut advocated the
adoption of Mr. Adamson's motion.
Mr.. Tompkins of Ohio. a member of

earnest speech in favor Of the bill. The
government, he argued, should have
undisputed and uninterrupted commu-

Cannon Deals Death Blow.
Mr. Cannon Of Illinois. chairman of
the appropriation committee. then
threw the weight of his influence
against the bill. He had always IA
vored the cable, but always had be-
heved that a private company would
come along and lay one without ex-
pense TO the United States. Here was
such a company Offering to build a
cable TO the Philippines by way Of
Honolulu. Mr. Cannon said his prin-

was that it delayed the cable.

u LOOMINGTON, Ills, June IL
ID Death and destruction followed
last night in the wake of the
worst tornado that has ever visited
central Illinois. The wind wrought
ruin and woe, and the property loss
win be tens of thousands of dollars.
There is no way of estimating the
loss at present, owing to the uncer-
tainty as to the effect upon the growing
crops. which, it is feared, suffered
heavily.
The saddest feature was the killing
OF three young women at a dance at
the town hall Of Merna, a village ten
miles east Of this city. There was a
party of go young men and women at
the dance in the hall when the tornado
struck the building about II o'clock
last night, Everybody rushed for the
door. A number Of young men held the
doors 70 prevent the people from es-
Gaping fearing that they might be in
Jured or killed if they got outside.
About half Of them, however. es-
capped. and then the building collapsed.
The others were buried i'm the wreck.
Three were killed and forty or fifty
others injured. some of them seriously.
The dead:
Miss Lena flanagan.
Mrs Edward Martin
Miss Annie Kelly
All are daughters Of prominent
farmers I'm the vicinity The bodies
were horribly mutilated. A number Of
young men and women taken from the
ruins I'm an unconscious condition are
still I'm that state. and il is feared there
may be other deaths.
Merna got the brunt Of the storm.
and many of the finest houses and
barns there were destroyed.
Terrific Force of Wind.
The storm reached Bloomington
about II ,. m, commencing with a fu-
rious electrical display. Rain accom-
panied the wind, and the business dis
trict suffered severely. Many plate
glass windows were blown in and
stocks of goods were badly damaged.
Hundreds of big trees were broken off
a the trunks and the streets were al
most impossible Telegraph and tele-
phone poles were snapped in two and
the trolley wires added to the blockade
Buildings all over the city were dam
aged. but no lives were lost. nor was
any one seriously injured. A man was
blown 500 feet but escaped with slight
bruises. Just on the eve of commence
ment the roof of Wesleyan university
was blown off and the interior was
damaged badly by water.
The railroads report damaged tracks
due to washouts, and a number of
freight wrecks due TO telegraph poles
falling on the tracks. So far as now
known. no one was killed or injured in
this manner
Efforts ara making IN roach tho
small towns in the country. 1t is be-
Heved several OF them have suffered
more or less damage.
At Clinton The Chicago & Alton round
house was demolished but so far as
known no lives were lost.
At san Jose a grain elevator was
blown across the Alton track. entirely
blocking traffic.
At Barnes an elevator was blown
down and many farm houses are re-
ported seriously damaged

INDIANS MASSACREO DAY AT WEST POINT
Mexican Troops But cher Men
Women and Children, Trying to
Exterminate Yaquis.

Tucson, Ariz.. june 11.-COlonel Christy,
president of the Valley bank, Phoenix,
ATiz-, arrived here today from Preitas.
Sonora. with details of a massacre of
Naqui Indians, men, women and children,
yesterday in the Santa Rosa canyon,
thirtyfive miles from the Minas PTietas
mines, by detachment Of General Tor
res troops.
II appears that the Yaqui forces that
were operating in that section had moved
further into the mountains, leaving their
women and children in tho Santa Rosa
canyon under a guard Of eighty men. TIE
Mexican troops came upon this band and
without warning opened r terrible fire.
sparing neither women nor children.
After the first v0lley the troops charged
down upon the panic stricken victims
and massacred all within their reach. or
the guard OF eighty Aaquis, not q single
one survived and over 100 women and
children fell victims to the Mexican bull
lets ana bayouets
The bodies of the dead were left in the
canyon and the remaining women AMI
children were driven TO Minas Prietas
by the soldiers and from that point will
be taken to Hermosillo.
The Mexican soldiers and rurales have
explicit orders to take no Yaqui men
prisoners, but to kill in all cases. This
order was illustrated yesterday when q
friendly NaQui miner came down to
Priotas for supplies and was killed by the
rurales on the outskirts of the town.
Terrible Slaughter.
Colonel Christy says tine massacre &C.
CURED at daybreak Monday morning
The troops We're of Torres command, but
not under him personally and numbered
600. The YaqUis, including men, women
and children. were over 800.
The canyon in which the YaQuis We're
encamped was a long and narrow one
known as Santa Rosa canyon. Word was
brought TO Torres at Minas Prietas
Sunday night that the main body OF
NaQuis had left the Santa Rosa canyon
and gone further into the mountains
leaving their women and children in the
canyon with a small guard OF men.
Torres dispatched 800 troops TO block the
mouth of the canyon and surround the
YaQuis. His Instructions We're to kill all
men and boys capable Of bearing arms
The MeXicans secrcted themselves along
the sides of the canyon. having blocked
the entrance. At daylight they poured n
terrible and deadly fire on the unsus-
peCting YaQuis. killing men. women and
children Unfortunately. Many OF the
killed were mere infants The slaughter
Christy says. was fearful. The Mexican
troops only stopped their fearful work OF
shooting and bayonetting their victims
when exhausted from their labOrs.
The Yaquis say they do not care TO
fight. that they are peacefully inclined.
but are driven to desperation by the
MeXicans and as a last resort have taken
up arms 10 protect their rights. The
Mexican government appears 70 be bent
on DISCRIMINATING the GaQui people
Christy says. and all men and boys fall
ing into their hands are shot.
