PUCE OF DESOLATION

SCENES IN THE FLOODED DISTRICT

ItHiililly Kecetlllic.
Wichita, Kan., April 29. A special
to the Beacon from Guthrie says :
The scene in the 'flooded district this
morning is one of desolation. The river
went down rapidly last night, and when
the sun rose the awful extent of the
damage to property could he seen. The
river is still bank-full, but the water has
receded from most of the inundated dis
tricts. This morning most of the missing
people have been found clinging to bushes
or driftwood down the stream on the
west bluffs or scattered in the farm
houses. It is believed the death list will
not exceed 25, most of them being seen
to drown in the main channel during
the first rush of water. The bodies
were carried away. The only bodies
found this morning are those of Mrs.
Fannie Itaflin nnd five children, all
lodged in a pile of driftwood. These, with
George Owen, a butcher, drowned while
rescuing others, Frank Meyers Mrs.
Dumus. Mrs. Jane Watt. Mrs. Francis
Moore, Mrs. Drummond, Mrs. Dennia
and child and Mrs, Watson, are the only
ones known to have been drowned,
though fifty or more are still missing.
Five hundred homes were swept away
and their contents ruined. A hundred
and fi'ty houses were wrecked, and 20
streets devastated. One thousand peo
ple are homeless and half as many more
are destitute. The property 'damage ex
ceeds $100,000.
Systematic relief work is being carried
out and ferries are working across the
river so supplies and clothing can be
sent to all. Many are being brought to
the unharmed part of the city to be cared
for in private houses.
It is now certain the flood was caused
by a cloudburst 20 miles up, the valley.
Everything was swept before it. Had it
come two hours earlier thousands would
have perished.

tory lllllw
Jw:v Youk, April 29. A Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
The engagement which the Spanish
had witli General Rodriguez in the
l'urgatory hills, and which was reported
as a decisive Spanish victory, turns out
to have been the reverse.
The Spanish columns encountered the
insurgents nnd attacked sharply, relyiug
on their superior forces. The rebels re
treated toward their camp, and succeed
ed in playing their old trick of drawing
the Spanish into an ambuscade. Gener
al Castillo arrived with reinforcements
while Rodriguez waB engaging the Span
ish and fell upon their flank. The fight
ing lasted five hours, and in killed,
wounded and prisoners, the Spanish lost
280 men.
News comes from Santiago de Cuba
that 200 volunteers headed by a priest
and a prominent physician have joined
the insurgents because they were dis
satisfied with conduct of the Spanish
authorities, and believed that Garcia
would succeed In retaining his suprema
cy in the eastern province.
The situation at Banes continues to
command attention. Fourcrusters and
several gunboats have been ordered there
to land a force to march on the port In
the direction of Holquln. The rebel
force in and near Banes is estimated at
3000.
General Woyler came quietly back to
Havana yesterdav morning after a six
weeks' trip to Santa Clara, during which,
ho accomplished anything from a mil
tary standpoint, the fact has been most
effectually concealed. It Is now report
ed that he is going to Spain aoon, hut
the report is probably due to the fact
that lis eons sails April 80.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The Dronrietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fa'la to cure. Send for list of

JAPAN'S IRE IS AROUSED.
Exclusion
of Emigrants From Hawaii
Is the Cause.
San Francisco, April 29. Advices
from the Associated Press correspondent,
received by the Doric from Yokohama
this morning, say :
The Japanese government is aroused
over the refusal of the Hawaiian gov
ernment to permit Shinshiu Maru emi
grants to land at Honolulu, and has or
dered war ships to Honolulu to enforce
what the Japanese emigrants choose to
consider their rights. The foreign office
instructed Hiogo Kencho at Kobe on the
8th inst., to stop the departing of any
emigrants for the islands at once.
Grave complications have arisen, ac
cording to the Japanese official news
papers, over the action of the United
States government in sending the Phila
delphia there. Japanese official organs
claim that the crusier has been sent as a
the Japanese government,
and is significant that it fortclls annex
ation of the islands to the United Slates.
Kokumin is of opinion that this re
fusal of the Hawaiian authorities to let
Japanese emigrants land is merely the
first step towards affiliation or amalga
mation with the United States. It fur
ther says that the Japanese government
is opposed to the union, and that it has
been definitely decided to send warships
to Hawaii, and that the minister for the
uavy will select vessels for the service
from those in the standing squadron in
the near future.
Yohiuri remarks that Shinshiu Maru
should be sent back again under escort
of Japanese warships and the landing of
emigrants demanded. Should the de
mand be refused, Mr. Shimamura, the
Japanese minister, should be instructed
to offer strong objections. It also sug
gests that tiie Japanese government de
mand compensation from Hawaii.
Japanese official newspapers are lull ot
war talK sucti as tins, unuwo states
that a telegram has been received by the
Japanese authorities to the effect that
England has sent an intimation to the
United States government that she ob
jects to the intended annexation by the
latter of the Hawaiian republic. Sek-
aino Nihon says that a series of tele
graphic communications are at present
passing between the United States lega
tion in Tokio and the United States cov
ernment, and ia of the opinion that they
relate to the refu?r.l of the" Hawaiian
government to permit Japanese emi
grants to land. I
