CAUSED BY WASHOUT Passenger Train Wrecked Near Waterloo, Ia. MINE KILLED AND 23 INJURED Track Was Undermined by a Clood. burst Knaiaa Pernllod aad tha Coechea filed Up. Waterloo, la., May 30. The through train from Chicago to Minneapolis, over the Book Island and Burlington, Cedar Kapid & Northern railways, waa wrecked at 1:15 this morning, at the cross I n n of Sink creek, about four miles southeast of this place. The train consisted of five coaches, includ ing mail and baggage cars, smoking car, two passenger coaches and aleepei. Nine person were killed and 33 in jured. The list of dead ia aa follows: L. Arnold, lumberman, Minneapolis; Will Schollian, of Waterloo: W. A. McLaughlin, Muskegon, Mich.; B. H. Schwette, Alton, III.; David Hallo, Minneapolis; F. S. Carpenter, St. Louis; Hawkina, puilman conductor; George Wainwright, train conductor; one unknwn person. A cloudburst had washed the sand and gravel roadbed, leaving the track unsupported for a etretch of 30 feet. The laila and tiea held together, and there waa nothing to indicate the inse curity of the road. The engine struck tha washout and was derailed in the ditch beside the track, and behind it the car were piled in a confused heap. Tbo mail car toppled ovei and waa teleacoped by the baggage car, behind, while tho rear end ot tha baggage car, in turn, telescoped tho smoker. The roof of the sleeper ploughed its way through the day coach, while the lower half of the latter crushed through the sleeper. : The engineer and fireman jumped from the train and escaped with slight injuries. Mr. Schwette, of Alton, 111., was brought to this city alive, bnt died at 8 o'clock. He was badly cut about tbo head, and it was evident from the be ginning that bis injuries were fatal. He was on bis way to Minneapolis, where he was to be married today. He asked his physician to telegraph bia father and his sweetheart. "Tell her," he gasped, "that I have been detained by a wreck, and cannot keep the ap pointment on time. Don't say any more." the news was bronght to this oitv by a mail clerk. The fire whistle was blown and a switch engine and coach were hastily prepared and a relief train sent very speedily. The injured pas sengers were extricated from the debris and. brought here. Another relief train soon arrived from Cedar Rapids, and took a number of the seriously in jured to be treated in the hospital in that city. ' ' ' ' VIOLATED A TRUCE. tVegro Island Native Fire Upon Anaar ' Icau. ' Manila, May 80. While at Esca lante, on the island of Negro, pioking up the cable between that island and Cebu, the cable-ship Recorder landed a party in a launch, consisting of the commander, second officer and several of the orew, and Captain Tilly, of the signal corps. A party of rebels waited, under a flag of truce, until the Ameri cana had landed, and then treacherous ly poured a murderous fire upon them. Captain Tilly and one man at once spring into the water, and the com mander of the Recorder, under great risk, managed to reach the launch and put off from tho bank to save it from being captured by the rebels. The second mate was picked up by the launoh just as be was Binking. He said that when be saw Captain Tilly last he waa awimmiag feebly. Though the steamer waa far out from shore, those aboard saw tbo Malay seamen caught by the lebels, flogged and cut to pieces. General Smith, with a detachment ot troops, has started on board a gun boat to investigate the affair. SWEPT BY A TORNADO. Heavy Damage Done la Hamilton .. County. Nebraska.. Omaha, May 80. A special to the Bee " from Central City, Neb., says: Probably the most destrnotivo tornado that over visited .Nebraska passed through the northern part of Hamilton county last night at 7 o'clock, destroy ing lrom 75,000 to tl00,C00 worth of property. Including 15 dwellings, one church, onu school house, two iron bridges across the Blue liver, barns, corn cribs, outbuildings, orchards, fences and stock. The track ot the storm was 66 miles in length and about 100 yards in width. During the blow a little rain fell, acoompanied by immense bail stones, some aa large as a tin cup. In nearly every case the families sought shelter in cellars. While there were many nar row escapes, strange to say, no one was seriously injuied. The loss to crops will be slight, but the groves and orchards were ruined. A majority of the farms were insured, but it will be impossible for several days to get tha amonnt of individual losses. House hold goods and clothing were all de stroyed. Probably 5,000 people viBited the scene today. Killed Her Father While Ha Slept. Rapid City, S. D., May 80. Lena Bouts, aged 14, and a younger brother, children of Frank Bouts, a Burlington tie contractor, ot Pennington county, are under arrest, the girl being charged with murdering her father. She ahot him through the' bead while he slept. Tho man waa cruel to his family, which lived half-starved much ot tha time. RAIN NO HINDRANCE. fleneral Otla Fropntea to Wage an A g-reaalve Campaign. Manila, May 80. In spite of the eneral impression to the contrary, General Otia declares that the cam pn'gn against the rebels will be provo cated with the utmost aggressiveness throughout the rainy season. General Lawton believes that the speedy settle ment of the present troubles and the tnd of hostilities depend largely upon the Americans giving rigid protection to the working classes in their peaceful occupations while waging incessant war against the armed forces of tha enemy henceforth bv means of guerrilla waifare. He expects to show tha rebels by vigorous action on rivers, lakes and mountains that our troopa can campaign in the rainy season or in the mountains, despite the belief other wise. Changing coii'Jitions may later demand garrisoning by districts to al low the investment of capital and the prosecntion of industries until the Americans are in absolute control. Filipino prisoners just brought in from Luna's lines declare that he is ar resting all natives in sympathy with the peace party. It is also reported that Aguinaldo is dead. This ia de nied, and cannot be confirmed. No one believea the rumor. It ia said that General Luna will retire from tbe field for a time in order to recover from a wound recently leceived. Lawton bas returned hero from San Fernando. CUBAN ROLLS BOGUS. Authorities Believe That Many Name Are Flctltloua. Havana. May 30. There were 111 applicants today to share the $3,000, 000 which the United Ststea haa offered aa a giatnity to the Cuban troopa. Thirty were given $75 each. The others were not on tho rolls, although tbey bad guns which they were ready to turn in, and certificates of service. The United Statea authorities con sider that the rolls are very unreliable. Indeed, the opinion is freely expressed that a large proportion of the namea are fictitious, and that the rolls omit a majority of the names of those rightly entitled to share in the gratuity. The object of this apparently is to discredit the proa a lings, and to show ' the Cuban publio that a large number of the troops refused to take American money. . MISSOURI TRAGEDY. fopltn Man Murdered His Family and Took His Own Lire. Joplin, Mo., May 30. In and near a tent in the southeastern part of town today were tonnd tbe dead bodies of J. E. Moss, his ' wife, an infant child, a girl of 7 years, and a- boy of 9 years. The heads of all, save Moss, had been niaahec! with a hammer. He bad a bullet hole in bis head, and still clasped a revolver. He had apparently killed hi family and then committed suicide. The motive is a mystery. The tragedy is believed to have oc curred Tuesday night, while the larnily were asleep. Neighbors living within 800 feet of the tent knew nothing of the tragedy till today. A Bhot was heard Tuesday night, coming from the direction of tha tent, bnt no investiga tion was made at the time. Moss had made bis living scraping the ore about the abandoned mines, and the tent fur niture and clothes of the family indi cated that he had prospered. The fam ily came here two months ago. "HINKY DINKY" ON THE STAND Chicago Alderman's Views oa the City's - Morals. Chicago, May 80. The Baxtei legis lative investigating committee has ad journed nntil Juno 6. Alderman Michael Eenna, of the First ward, known to hia admiring constitutenta and the world in general as "Hinky Dink." appeared before the committee and proved to be the star witness of all who have appeared before that body. In South Clark street vernacular, he told the members of the committee that he did not believe there was any gambling in Chicago nor had he ever heard of any policy shops, coloniza tion of voters or slot machines in the First ward. He admitted that his saloon remained open all night, and took the position that the all-night saloon instead of having a bad effect, bad on the contrary a beneficent influ ence on the publio, crime having ac tually decreased since they were al lowed to remain open. The alderman testified that he paid out about $6,000 in his last campaign, and that ho charged the difference be tween that and his $1,600 salary as alderman to "amusement and pleas ure." "Politics is a losing game, then?" questioned a committeeman. "Oh, I don't know." repled Alderman Kenna. - Dreyras Revision. Paris, May 30 .
