Has Left a Poor Selection for
This Country.

The army is finding difficulty in obtain

Methuen's direction, to close on the
OK convoy. The disorder among the
mules communicated itself to the
mounted troops and the Beers, dressed
in khaki frustrated all the attempts
of the British officers to rally their
forces. Great confusion ensued among
this portion of the mounted troops,
they and the mule wagons galloping
three miles beyond the OK wagons,

HIGH WIND STRIKES OMAHA.
Does Considerable Damage in North
Part of Citv.

Part of City.
OMAHA March 11.-From the north
west veritable hurricane swept down
upon the city early this morning and
wrought great amount of damage in
an incredibly short time. 1t was pre-
ceded by a light rain and the first hail
storm of the spring. At 1 a. m. the
wind suddenly rose to a terrific veloc-
ity and swept with almost cycionic
force through North Omaha and only
spent itself when it neared the cen
ter of the city It's general direction
was apparently toward the river,
which it crossed, after wrecklng,
splintering and shattering buildings,
trees fences and billboards.
| The old Coliseum was directly in the
path of the hurricane which blew down
five skylights, each weighing some
500 pounds.
Much damage was done in David
sons grocery store, Christiansen's
carpet cleaning establishment and the
Western box factory.
The right wing of the storm struck
in the vicinity of Twenty-third and
Cunning streets. The marble works
of E. P. Rutherford were completely
wrecked. The one-story brick build
ing was blown down and the marble
and granite pieces We're overturned
and some of them hurled into the
street. The undertaking establish
ment of T. A. Taggart was badly shat
tered. The front windows Of plat!

of the store was swept by perfect
torrent of water.

which was broken by loud Irish cheers.
Instantly there were cries of "Shame,"
"shame," from the government bench
es. Then the Irish members seemed
to think better of their outbreak and
suddenly subsidized. The subsequent
eulogistic references to General Me-
thuen were received with cheers. In
brief, Lord Kitchener announced that
when General Methuen was captured,
wounded, with four guns, three British
officers and 3S men were killed and
five officers and 72 men were wound
ed. In addition, one officer and 200
men were reported missing.
The fight in which General Methuen
was captured occurred before dawn
March Z between Winburg and Lich-
tenburg, Orange River Colony. The
British force numbered 1,200 men.
The feeling of depression in the
lobbies of the house over the news
was very marked. The service mem
| bers of the house expressed the opin-
ion that it will necessitate sending
fresh troops to the front, while the
belief was widely expressed that the
Beers will not fail to take advantage
of General Methuens prominence to
hold him as hostage for the safety
OF Commandant Kritzinger and other
Boer leaders now in the hands of the
British.
