A TERRIFIC GALE.
Great Niagara Fruit Belt Damaged by
; the Storm.
Niagara Falls, May 18. The great
Niagara fruit belt has been severely
damaged by the terific gale which pre
vailed all day yesterday.
The wind began early in the morning
to blow strong from the west and by
noon it was a bowling gale, which tore
young frnit off in clusters. The' Indica
tions ffom the bloseoms in the orchards
throughout this section, pointed to one
of the largest fruit crops in years. " The
fruit was formed splendidly. There has
been no frost and fruitgrowers were .con
gratulating themselves on the future,
when the gale came along and changed
the aspect of affairs.
! Apples, pears and plums suffered the
most. ' So fierce was the gale, that whole
branches were torn from - the trees;
Small fruits escaped without much dam
age. It is estimated that half of the
apple crop is lost and nearly as much in
pears and plums. Peaches ' suffered
some,, but nothing near to what the
others did. -

VIGOROUS MEASURES.
Bow the Competitor Prisoner' Lives
., Were Saved.
New York, May 18. A Herald special
from Havana says : ' :
The action of Consul-General Will
iams, in protesting against the methods
of the trial of the prisoners of the schoon
er Competitor, made by the Spanish au
thorities, is worth more than a passing
mention.
Before 'the court-martial closed, Consul-General
Williams' letter of protest
was read. The representative of the
United States quoted the treaties exist
ing between the United States and
doubted the right of the latter to try
American citizens and others sailing
under the American flag, by other than
civil law, adding that in the letter they
must be judged by ordinary and not by
military and naval courts, and be per
mitted to employ legal counsel and pre
sent witnesses in evidence.
A note by the judge advocate-general,
which had also been -indorsed by Ad
miral Navarro, the highest naval officer
of Spain in Cuba, ruling Consul-General
Williams' protest as ' without good
ground and out of order, was also read
and noted. '
Within four hours after the court
martial closed its session, at a special
meeting in the afternoon, its members
sent to Admiral Navarro a- sealed ver
dict, which was immediately approved
by the naval chief. The sentences of all
five prisoners to death, In accordance
with the verdict, was signed at once,
and preparations were made to have the
men shot. -
Receiving no satisfactory response
from the admiral, nor even an invitation
to attend the proceedings, neither Consul-General
Williams nor any attache
of his office was present at the court
martial, nor was he allowed to see the
prisoners until the trial was closed.
Naturally he laid the whole case before
the state department at Washington
early, and received instructions as
prompt as energetic.
When theee arrived he went immedi
ately to the palace, where a stormy in
terview with Captain-General Weyler
occurred. The general told the consul
general that if the men had been con
victed, as the latter supposed, they
would most certainly be shot at sunrise
the following morning, despite any pro
test the United States might make.
"If you shoot them,'.' said Mr. Will
iams, "my government inetructs me to
close its consulate here and demand my
passports, and I shall most certainly
bold you and your government respon
sible should these prisoners be executed
before our protest be given due consid
eration." When Mr. Williams bowed himself
out of the general's presence, he drove
back to his office. The excitement that
followed at the palace was indescriba
ble. The leading personages advised the
authorities to suspend the execution
pending further instructions from Mad
rid. General Weyler Baid if the men
were not executed he would resign, and
so telegraphed the Spanish ministry.
In the meantime it appears the United
States vt-as, through Minister Taylor,
bringing pressure to bear 'also at Madrid.
Orders came from Spain to suspend all
proceeding and directing the captain
general and admiral to transmit all doc
uments in the case to Madrid for con
sideration there by the supreme military
and naval council and cabinet. - The
transfer of the case to Madrid will give
the prisoners at least a month or six
weeks' respite.

extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this 'remedy freely as soon aa the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
