At Jupiter the wind blew seventy
Ave miles an hour, with the rain fall
ing In torrents.
Taking day In crossing the PENN
sula, the storm struck Tampa Satur-
day morning. soon attaining velocity
of seventy miles an hour, and ragged
all day. The roofs Of the Almeria and
Desoto hotels were blown off. Several
cigar factories were badly damaged at
Ybor City and several buildings were
unroofed. In Tampa the Hampton
block was unroofed and six small
dwellings were blown down. No loss
of life is reported. The streets are
q tangle of wires. Street lines made
no efforts to run cars. The wires lead
ing from Tampa in all directions are
down, and the city is in total dark
ness.
Other places on the west coast and
in the interior have not been heard
from, and it is feared that when re-
ports come in the damage will be vast
ly increased. The orange and grape
fruit crops have been greatly damaged.

with such situation. 1t Is argued that
Bulgaria would be amply justified In

The government appears to be firm

slightest pretext for declaring HOSTILE

the war fever. Sofia and the country
generally are outwardly as calm as in
the most peaceful times. but the Bull

feared than at any other time.
An engagement is reported to have
occurred between force Of insurgents

General Frank Baldwin. commander
of the Department of the Colorado. has
purchased thehorse ridden by President
Roosevelt from Laramie to Cheyenne.
which that accomplished horseman
pronounced the best horse he had ever
ridden. says the Denver Republican.
General Baldwin holds the same opin-
ion after riding him 100 miles in less
than six days In an unsettled country
without trails, and up the sides Of
seemingly impossible mountains. All
this was done on a practice march
with seventy-ive troopers from Fort
d. A. Russell
Teddy" the horse. will be christ.

This is the principal stronghold of the
Fiiipinos In Mindanao, the capture OF
which won star and fame for Gener-
al Baldwin. The animal was pur-
chased last week In Laramie from J.
w. Ernest. 1t is d large iron gray.
full of life and Of splendid speed.
On top OF the rides made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and General Miles the
trip Just made by General Baldwin
with his troop Of cavalry makes his
tory in endurance contests. The gen
eral is over sixty years OLD and has
seen active and arduous life In the
field. The trip was made In the heart
OF the Medicine Bow forest reserva-
ton where for miles there were no
trails and at times the route went up
the sides of mountains SO steep that
thirty men had to hold the wagon In
he trof xu{t &c
sixteen mules necessary to make the
trip. The smallest days work was
twenty seven miles and the greatest
was fOrty-five miles. The entire dis
lance covered was 100 miles. and 1t
was done in five days and half, lack
ing two hours.
Il wanted to make tour Of the
reservation" said General Baldwin,
with a view Of looking into its posi-
bilities for army maneuvers. 1t Is
beautiful country and ideal for the
purpose we might require. There is
plenty of hay and grain. In fact. we
did not have to carry any forage with
us ut all, and when we camped we
were able to provide ourselves with
all the fresh meat and vegetables we
wanted, excepting on one night when
we were In the mountains. also
wanted to show the men and the
younger officers that there is NO such
thing in the army as the impossible.
The most difficult march that we had
was cutoff that necessitated going
right up the side of the mountain.
There were no trails, and we had to
make q road by tumbling rocks and
trees from the path, and in some cases
cutting our way through. The wagon
had tn he hauled by sixteen mules
once or twice. and thirty Of the troop
ers had to hold the vehicle and the
mules in place with ropes.
Give me the American soldier ev-
cry time" said the veteran. for
pluck, endurance and intelligence
That was as tough trip as has been
made. probably. and on the last day
we marched forty-fve miles. into Lar
