FIGHT WITH IMMIGRANTS
Gypsies Resent Being Sent Back to
South America.

New York.-A pitch battle was
fought in Brooklyn between immigra
ton inspectors and band of twenty
four gypsies who were being deported
to South America. The trouble had
it's origin in the refusal of the gyp-
sizes to board the steamer Verdi,
which was to take them to Buenos
Ayres. In the heat Of the melee sew
eral children of the band, by rea-
son of their parents using them as
shields, were injured. In several in
stances the parents pushed the bod
les of children against the inspectors,
who were trying to drive them from
a tug to the street. One little girl
was unconscious when the vessel sail
ed with the gypsies. The gypsies be-
lieved they were to be returned TO
Russia, their home, and when they
realized that they must go to South
America, which country they had
Just left, their rage knew no bounds.

they would rather pull through the

Later Reports Show But Little
Change.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR Loss
Conservation Estimate Places Total
Dead at Twenty-Five. Crops
Have Been Frustrated.
Many Cities Suffer.


Houston, Tex.-Belated reports
indicate little change in the storm
situation of Wednesday except the
addition Of over one hundred thou
sand dollars in property losses. So
far no more loss of life has been re-
ported, although from Quintana,
comes the report that the sloop Co
lumbus with all hands on board, had
been blown out to sea. Whether or
not the boat escaped to some other
port is not known.
AT Rock Island the damage will
total about $4,000, nine of the lar
gest buildings of the town being eth
er completely RACED or partly demol-
ished.
The loss at Wharton will total
many thousands of dollars 1t is de-
clared the loss there is more than
was sustained during the storm of
1900 The streets are blocked with
debris and the citizens are handicap
ped by shortage of help in clearing
away the wreckage.
Fifty houses were blown down at
Weimer and the damage there proba-
bly, will total 100000.
The points receiving the severest
blow and from which the reports OF
the heaviest damage come are Gal
weston, Bay City, Velasco, Angleton,
Wharton, Columbia, Columbus, Pala-
clos, Eagle Lake, Weimer, New Ulm,
Luling, Schulenberg Allento9, Beas-
ley, Kendleton, Sublime, Glidden,
Markham, La Grange, Bastrop, Ell
Campo, Yoakum, Garwood Mat
thews, Bonus, Waelder, Flatonia and
Austin.
There was damage at many other
points and throughout the rural Sec
tons about the towns named, heavy
loss to crops establishing almost to-
tai ruin were sustained.
Advices shaw that admage was
done by the storm demon throughout
section of country in Texas extend
ing on an average OF about loo
miles into the interior. In some
counties reports indicate that very
few home owners escaped losses OF
at least a minor sort, which in the
aggregate total handsome sum.
While the property destruction
were enormous, the life loss and
serious injury is almost inexplicably
small This is attributed largely to
the fact that storm warnings had
been sent out and the inhabitants
were given an opportunity to largely
prepare for the expected blow.
Again, the severest of the blow
came in daylight, was expected and
rushes by people to the more sub
stantial structures held the casualty
list down.
With the cripple wire facilities IT
is not possible as yet to compile an
accurate list of the dead and it may
be several days before this can be de-
done. Conservative estimates of the
dead, however, in Texas and Louis
lana place the total at about 25, with
double that many injured with more
or less severity.
