TURIN, July 25.-There was a terri
bic cloudburst today in the region of
the Mont Cents tunnel, causing great
less of life and property and interrupt
Ing the International Railway. owing
to washouts and the fall of rocks from
the mountains.
Almost the entire. village of Four
neaux. at the French end, is destroyed.
Twenty two houses were demolished,
and thus far it has been ascertained
that fifteen persons were killed and
sixty injured in that vicinity The
damage is estimated. at 81. 100000. From
Modena to Bardonneche the country
was ravaged by the storm.
Sanitary measures are rendered al
most impossible at Forneaux, owing to
lack of labor. The storm destroyed the
electric cables. causing lack of light
and power, and drinking water is
scarce, owing to the recent great heat.
A cloudburst, accompanied by light
ming, destroyed the Church Of Les Cha
vannes, in France, about thirty miles
from Chambery. melting the church

UNIVERSITY GIRL
STAYS WILDCAT.

MARTINEZ, July 25.-Campers re-
turning from MitchelIs Canyon, on the
slope Of Mount Diablo, brought to Mar
tinez this morning remarkable story
OF z fair college co-eds bravery and
pluck in dispatching a large wildcat
near the summit OF the big mountain
This heroine in the campers colony
is Miss Jessie Thomas Of the University
of California. who has spent the last
two weeks roughfng it with party
OF friends in the widest portion of the
Mount Diablo country.
Early Monday morning a party Of
three young ladies. all university stu
dents. left the canyon on the fve-mil
ascent to the summit Miss Thomas
carried a aeating twenty two caliber
rife. but her companions wer un-
armed. Shortly after seaving Deer Flat
the party came upon a narrow trail
leading through a wilderness of mes
quite and shrubbery. Miss Thomas per-
sisted in following up the path hoping
TO come 10 a stream of water, and
agreed to meet her companions at the
base Of a bluff, where both trails met
Though warning her that the ad-
venture might bring her to grief. the
others continued up the hill
Miss Thomas proceeded about quar-
ter OF mile and came upon the pool
Of water. but emerging from a clump
of shrubbery met face to face full
grown wildcat coming down the trail
evidently on the same mission as her
self
Instead Of losing her presence of
mind and fleeing precipitately the
plucky girl. with her eyes steadily
fixed on those Of the beast, backed
slowly away at the same time raising
the rife When thirty or more feet
away she took careful aim and fired
The bullet struck the animal in the left
side OF the neck and il rolled over
without sound To make sure Of
her game three more shots were
pumped into it. two taking effect in
the head and one in the side.
without stopping to examine the
beast Miss Thomas called to her friends
and ran back down the path. Woman
like she tainted when they saw her
and was taken to camp in a hysterical
condition
Harvey Slater Of San Jose skinned
the animal and brought the peit to the
girl she is to have it cured and it
will then adorn the room of her soror-
ny house.

Major Dreyfus was publicly in
suited in the Cercle Militaire. one
Of the most exclusive clubs in Paris, by
an officer. who slapped his face. This
brought about an immediate clash in
the club and will tend to revive dis
putes over the Dreyfus affair through
out France.

tillery that Major Dreyfus and Com
mandant large made their first appear

ran Up and slapped him. The major did
not reply
Instantly there was almost a riot in
the clubrooms. two groups being
formed Of sysnpathizers and opponents
of Dreyfus.
II appears that the incident was
prearranged and the officer who at
tackled Dreyfus is said TO have declared
that he would refuse 70 fight a duel, in
order TO bring opprobrium upon Major
Dreyfus and force him 10 retire from
active service.
Several other disagreeabIe incidents
are said to have occurred in the club
rooms tonight and greatcrowd was

pointed to collect desired information:
H. P. FIannery William Dunphy, w.
Wilkinson. ]. Jacobs and ]. J. Murphy
in addition to the chairman and secre-
tary Of the meeting, who were made
ex oficio members Of the committee. A
certain district was assigned each
member of the committee, and a re-
port regarding the names of the people
who are introducing the japanese into
the locality will be presented at a gen
eral meeting to be held at Native Sons
Hall, Geary and Cough streets. next
Friday evening.
Among those who spoke was w.
wilkinson, who said he was a proper
" owner. He stated that he had been
asked to rent his property to Japan
ese and had refused to do so. On the
opposite side of the street from where
he lives, he stated, people had been
forced to move and now d Japanese
tea garden was being established in
the place.
J. J. Murphy stated that he had
been renting home at 210S Webster

to move, that a Chinese laundry could
be established there. He has taken
the matter into the courts. L. P. Smell
stated that he had only recently moved
into the premises at 1866 Pine street,

that held a conference in this city to-
day, that San Francisco holders of
their policies will not be paid the
losses incurred by the April fire.
These companies are the. Commercial

the Palatine Fire Limited of London,

the Indemnity Fire of New York.
In the long statement issued after
the conference the declaration is made
that lit is the desire of the companies
to make good the actual loss suffered
in every case in which legal liability is
not doubtful" This would be cheering
to the unfortunate policy holders if the
companies representatives did not
practically deny legal responsibility in
regard to any of the losses.
The stand is taken that the COM.
panies are not responsible for any loss
caused directly or indirectly by the
earthquake" and then an elaborate at
tempt is made to show that every loss
caused by the fire was due clearly or
remotely to that disturbance The as
sertion is also made that the COM

STRAW FOR THE LOSERS.

The foregoing positive stand leaves
little that is cheering in the following
statement, which might otherwise give
comfort:
The visiting representatives of the
companies find that there are localities
which were burned in which the prim-
ary fire was not caused by the earth
quake but as to which it is probable
that if the water supply of the city
had not been cut off the actual destruc-
tion would have been limited. The ex-
tent, however, to which in these locali-
ties the primary fire could or would
have spread even if there had been
water is question as to which there
may be honest difference of opinion,
and as to losses in such localities il
will be the endeavor of the companies
to reach adjustments upon some equit-
able basis which may be mutually sat

can be found to prevent it Japanese
town would soon occupy that section
bordered by Pine. Van Ness. Geary and

Various remedies were suggested. but
the two which met with the most favor
was to boycott the Japanese dealers in
the whole addition and to have the law
concerning cubic air space for resi-
dences enforced. There were sugges-
tions of violence. but these were not
received with favor.
Rev R Z. Num- of the Centenary

the speakers. and in addition to ex-
pressing opposition to the invasion Of
