the Globe-Demociat from Kirksville,
Mo., save:
A gathering storm that had beer
threatening all afternoon broke upon
Kirksville at 6:20 o'clock tonight in al:
the fury of a cyclone. A path a quar-
ter of a mile wide and as clean as the
prairie was swept through the eastern
portion of the city, and 400 buildings,
homes and mercantile houses were
leveled to the ground in scattered
ruins.
In the heavy rain that followed the
people who had escaped turned out to
rescue the injured. For two hours not
much was accomplished, as all was con-
fusion, but by 8 o’clock 49 dead
bodies had been taken from the ruins.
It is expected that the list of dead will
reach between 60 and 70, if not exceed
that. Nearly 1,000 people were more
or less injured.
Daylight will be necessary before an
adequate conception of the destruction
of life and property can be had. Each
blanched face reports a new calamity.

The Debris Burning'.
Intense darkness prevailed after the j
cyclone, and the rescuers were at a dis­
advantage for a short time, until tire j
broke out in a dozen places in the
ruins and shed light over the sc'ene.
No attempts were made to extinguish
the fire, and partly because of the
need of light. On both sides of the
storm’s path the debris was pi'ed high
and burned fiercely. In all probabil­
ity a number of bodies have been in­
cinerated.
The storm first struck the eastern
portion of the city, near that part oc- |
cupied by the boarding-houses of the
students of the American school of
oseopathy, the state normal school and
McWard’s seminary. It was just sup­
per time for the students, and it is
thought very probable the list of dead
will be well filled with students, as a
large number of these boarding-houses
were demolished.
As far as known tonight these three
institutions of learning escaped the
storm.
The storm went northwest and wiped
cut Patterson's nursery, pulling trees
cut of the ground ami hurling tuem
through the city.
A second edition of the cyclone fol­
lowed the first 20 minutes later. It
came as an inky black cloud, widely
distributed, and covered the whole
town, but passed above the houses, do­
ing no material damage and gathering |
fury as it went.
It undoubtedly i
struck the ground a few miles out ol [
Kirksville.

Rout«
Manila, April 29.—General Mao-
Arthur’s division er<-s<<d the Rio
Grande today, and advanced on Apalit,
completely routing the flutter of the
rebel army.
The enemy were very strongly en­
trenched on the river bank near both
sides of the railroad bridge. General
Wheaton sent Colonel Funston across
with two companies of the Twentieth
Kansas regiment, a couple of privates
swimming the swift stream with a rope
under a galling tire for the purpose of
guiding the raft.
The men crossed in squads of 20, and
attacked the left flank of the rebels,
who scuttled like rabbits into coveted
ways and trenches. The rest of the
regiment was compelled to cross the
bridge in single file along the stringers.
All of the wood work and nnrii of the
iron work liad been remove 1.
The
First Montana followed the Kansas
across the bridge.
The First Nebraska regiment, acting
as a reserve, attacked the rebels in
three lines of trenches, driving them
out, killing 16 and wounding many.
In the meantime a large body of Fili­
pinos, estimated at no fewer than
3,000, led by General Antonio Luna on
a black charger, that was evidently
coming to reinforce the rebels who were
engaged with the Nebraskans, appeared
in the open field about two miles to
the left.
Emerging from the jungle, the en­
emy formed an open skirmish line
nearly two miles in length, with very
thick reserves behind. They advanced
at double-quick until they were about
2,000 yards fiom the American line,
when General Wheaton ordered his
troops to fire.
The rebels, who were evidently un­
aware that the Americans had crossed
the river, broke and ran in the direc­
tion of Macabebe. The other Filipinos
fled toward Apalit station.
The heat in the early part of the af­
ternoon was terrific, but a drenching
thunderstorm, w hich came later, great­
ly refreshed the Americans.
Most of the rebels fled to Apalit
station, where trains were awaiting
them. They left hurriedly, presuma­
bly for San Fernando.
The towns of San Vincente and
Apalit were simultaneously burned and
evacuated by the natives.
Twenty prisoners were captured, in­
cluding a Spaniard.
The American troops also captured
a brass cannon and a quantity of arms
and ammunition, and the same evening
they captured a Maxim gun on the rail­
road.
The fighting lasted from noon until
4 o’clock. The American loss is one
man of the Montana regiment killed
and three officers and six men wounded.
