sentence be comHuted to life I'M
and it has been many
wears since a more energetic attempt
has been made to prevent the nang-
man from getting in his work. The
governors sympathy is being ap-
pealed to and a pathetic scene was
enacted Yesterday when the father,
mother and sister of Tom Lauder
dale made a personal appeal for the
life of the condemned man. Several
large designations are to visit the
governor during the latter part OF the
| week in the interest of the con
demned men.
Governor Longino has just com
p.eted a careful study of the officia
records of the two cases, and it !
difficult to see or what grounds
communication can be based unless b
succumbs to the sympathy appes
which is being so strongly made.

Eighteen Hours
Ahead.

1t is lamentahle and almost incredi-
fact that there are individuals in civil
lied community that lack the intelli-
gence to understand that Associated
press dispatches published in the s. f.
Bulletin, delivered to the NEvADAN SUBJ
scribers on the arrival Of the train, con-
tain all the news Of public interest from
every part of the world with which tele-
graphic communication is established up
to o'clock of the evening before while
the San Francisco morning papers de-
livered here at the same time cover only
telegraphic news up to 8 a. m. Of the pre-
vious day. In other words, the San
Francisco Bulletin delivered to the Ne
vApAN subscribers to-day Thursday
contained full report of Associated
press dispatches from every part of the
world up to 6 o'clock last night, while
the San Francisco morning papers only
covered the news up to o'clock yes
terday morning. Brief mental calcula-
tion with the above statement as data,
will show that the Bulletin telegraphic
news is fifteen hours later than that
published in San Francisco morning
papers, which can be further verified by
comparing the Bulletin press dispatches
with those OF the Examiner, Chronicle
and Call OF the same date.

Back in the sixties Governor Nye of
Nevada was an inveterate poker player.
One time while at Saltwater he was
playing poker in the presence of Capsule
peace chief of the Piutes. Capsule asked
the governor to play with him, and the
request was granted. The play was two
bits ante and dollar limit. The Indians
capital was $40 and the governor, who
cheated outrageously, soon won all the
money. Capsule then put up his saddle
which quickly went with his cash. His
blanket followed. His pony was staked
and lost. The governors face wore a
wicked smile. Governor said the In
dian, "you got my money, my saddle, my
blanket and my pony; now bet you my
squaw" The governors expression at
once became benevolent. "Capsue" he
exclaimed, II cannot take your wife.
The paleface does not indulge in double
blessings of this variety, but if you will
promise never to play poker again will
give you back your money and property"
Capsule was delighted and always after
that told the story to illustrate what
great man was Governor Nye.

FIRST OFFICIAL ESTIMATE
TWENTY-ElGHT THOUSAND WERE
BURIED IN THE RUINS.
Six Thousand Were Rescued-Three
Thousand Were Probably
Drowned.

New York, May 19.-The first Of
fetal estimate of the results of the ex
plosion of Mont Pelee have been an.
nounced, says a Fort de France dis
patch to the World. This gives $4,000
as the number of people buried in the
ruins of st. Pierre. Six thousand per
sons were rescued by steamships OF
fed to places of safety. Three thou.
sand probably were drowned. This
is the most complete estimate made
so far.
The relief steamers now on the
scene are the American ships Cincin-
natl, Sterling, Potomac and Longfel-
low, the French cruiser Suchet and
the British supply boat Madiana.
Owing to red tape, it has been found
impossible up to the present time to
unload the supplies sent by the cham,
Der of commerce of New York.
The bodies of Thomas T. Prentis
American consul, and James Japp,
British consul, have been identified
and will be brought here for ship
ment. Both bodies are bruised by
the fall of lava and stones almost
beyond recognition. 5.

Houses Blown over.

Austin; Tex, May 19.-While all
Texas seemed to be storm-swept to-
day, the territory Immediately to the
west of this city was especially bad
ly damaged by the high winds. Wal.
tiers Park, a small hamlet IA miles to
the northwest of this city, was badly
damaged, something like %three-score
or houses being blown over and
many trees uprooted. In this city a
number of houses were unroofed and
the state institute for the blind was
considerably damaged. None of the
inmates were injured. A number of
camping parties at various points up
the river, were serious sufferers in
the matter of destruction of property,
but so far as known no loss of life
is reported.

CUT sWATH THROUGH TOWN OF
GoLIAD.
MANY KILLED and INJURED
Neishboring Cities Send Doctors,
Nurses and Other Assistance to
Aid Of the Unfortunate.

Dallas, Tex, May ia special to
the News from Goliad, Texas, says:
Ninety are dead, more than a hun
dred are wounded. In addition there
is a gaping wound in the town the
path of one of the most destructive
cyclones ever known in Texas. The
cyclone struck this place about 3:45
o'clock this afternoon, lasting only
five minutes, leaving death and dis
aster everywhere in it's wake.
It came from the southeast without
a warning, completely demolishing a
strip about two blocks wide through
the whole western part of the town
about a mile long. Among the many
houses demolished are 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 number will reach
100. The damage done cannot be ap-
proximated, but it is very great. All
the human dead and wounded have
been taken car of. The path of de-
vastation is strewn with all kinds
of debris and dead and wounded an
finals.
The pitiful cries of the wounded
are heard everywhere, and at times
are h~eartrending. A report from the
country around Goliad is to the effect
that no damage was done. A special
train, bearing the O'Connor guards,
six physicians, nurses and many vol
unteers, came from Victoria, and also
a special train from Cuero, bringing
physicians, nurses, druggists and vol
unteers. Although everything is done
for the relief of the wounded, cries for
physicians and medical attention are
everywhere heard. So far 80 dead
and 120 injured have been reported.

An Examination Of the Ruins Cannot
Be Made at Present.

Fort de France, May 19.-Acting
Governor L'Huerre and the other in
sular authorities and the committee
of doctors who embarked on the
French cruiser Suchet, proceeded on
that ship to st. Pierre to determine
whether there was danger in permit
ting the examination of the ruins to
continue, insomuch as large numbers
of the corpses bruied there are in a
state of qualification.
AS the authorities were about to
debark at st. Pierre, q large quantity
of lava flowed into the River Blanche,
and this, accompanied by an enormous
cloud of smoke, made it appear doubt
full whether it would. be possible to
examine st. Pierre, because Of the
ruins. The party did not land and
the Suchet steamed to the north.

TO KILL
YOUNG KING
ANARCHISTS PLAN HIS DEsTRuc.
TON BY DYNAMITE.
SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED
Man Supplied With Cartridges and
Told to Throw Them as
Procession Passed.

Madrid, May 19.-An anarchist plot
against King Alfonso has been discov-
cred, and six arrests, including that
of Mabriel Lobez, an employee Of an
insurance company, have been made.
Dynamite cartridges were found on
the premises where Lopez was ar
rested. Lopez says he received a
package Of cartridges from another
anarchist, with instructions to throw
them at the moment of the passage Of
the royal carriage in yesterdays pro-
cession.y
The discovery of the plot against
the king is confirmed by the newspa-
pers here. It is now said that nine
dynamite cartridges were seized.
Further arrests have been made, and
the prisoners include six medical stu
dents, a printer, a carpenter and a
mason. The captured cartridges are
being analysed by the military author
tiles. .M.
According to the newspapers here,
the police have had an inkling Of an
~anarchistic plot against the king
since last March, and in April they
discovered an anarchist meeting place
in a fashionable quarter of Madrid.
Three Andalusian anarchists arrived
here on May 2 and were arrested
shortly after their arrival.
After these arrests it was learned
that Gabriel Lopez, a ~doorkeeper of
an assurance company Situated in the
Carrera San Geronimo, on the route
of yesterdays royal procession and
near the chamber of deputies, had a
number Of cartridges believed to be
of dynamite in his possession, and he
was arrested at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Lopez was examined before a mag
istrate this morning, and declared
that the man who gave him the cart
ridges and told him to throw them
when the royal coach passed was

for seven years, and has only recent

dynamite cartridges. This Suraez de-

Four other men have been arrested
in connection with them. They do
not deny being anarchists.
According to the Heraldo some vac
ilation was shown by certain men who
recently attended an anarchistic meet

into custody, said: I'VE must decide.

IN FOUR STATES.
Cyclone Swept From Gulf Of Mexico
Far North as Kentucky.

Dallas, Texas, May 19.-2:15 a. m.
-Advices from all available sources
here last night Sunday we're that a
distrastrous cyclone swept across
Texas yesterday, causing loss of life
and almost i~ncalculable damage to
property. The cyclone is believed to
have originated on the Gulf coast at a
point almost directly south of Goliad,
and Travelled in a northeasterly di-
rection as far as Kentucky. 1t left
%desolation behind it in four states,
but Texas seems to have suffered
more than the others. At 10 o'clock
last night there were two reports
current concerning the fate of the
historic town of Goliad. Both Of them
were sufficiently distressing. One
was that SO lives were lost ana much
of the town destroyed. The other
was that not less that 200 persons
were killed and nearly every struuc-
ture there demolished.
The high wind which prevailed over
that portion of the state which lies
east and south of here demolished
telegraph and telephone service. On
it's main line the Texas and Pacific
has no communication farther east
than Mineola, but the conductor on a
train arriving last night reported to
the general offices here that this was
because a tree had been blown across
the wires between there and Mineola.
On the transcontinental division it is
impossible to receive any response
from any where east of Douglass,
which is AZ miles west of Texarkana.
Wild rumors about the fate of Tex
arkana were in circulation for a time,
but the anxiety on that score was re-
lieved by the statement from incoming
train crews that there had been no
damage at Marshall, Texarkana or in
termediate points.
Shreveport, La, seems to be cut off
from the world.
