Many people are known to have perished, meager reports placing the number at twenty-five. Reports come from San Saba and Manardville, small towrs ninety miles north of here in the mountains, saying that both towns had been swept by the raging floods and were badly devastat- ed. In San Saba eight persons were drowned and the entire town is report- ed under water. The river at that point is one mile wide and running like a mill-race. At Manardville thirteen houses were swept away and later sev- eral more gave way to the swirling tor- rent and started on their voyage down the stream.

Washington, June 10. — The French government has taken steps to renew actively negotiations for a reciprocity EGOTIATE. treaty with the United States, and to that end as appointed M. Chupentir delegate to assist Ambassa- dor Cambon in conducting the negotia- tions. M.

NEITHER GUNS NO RMONEY. Many Cuban Soldiers Who Failed to Get the Necessary Certificates. Havana, June 10. — Col. Randall, in paying Cuban soldiers at Matanzas yesterday, found that the majority of them had turned over their arms some time before to Gen. Pedro Betancourt, the civil governor of Matanzas. A few of them had certificates, but the ma- jority had not. Consequently Col. Ran- dall experienced difficulty, and only paid thirty-seven men, though over 300 were in waiting and wanting money. Gomez's Farewell Falls Flat. Havana, June 10. — The farewell manifesto of Gen. Gomez has fallen completely flat. The-local papers have given it very little attention in the way of comment, and the local feeling is in- different. ‘The prevalent criticism has Deen that the manifesto is not a genu- ine farewell.

His Delay Has No Political Signifi- ‘ eance. Madrid, June 11, — Mr. Sterer, United States minister to Spain, will arrive here this evening from San Sebastian, the summer residence of the Spanish court, whither Mr. Stanton | Troops Sickles, secretary of the legation, has gone to accompany him to Madri‘1. His delay has no political significance whatever, He simply desired to find a residence for his use when the court goes to San Sebastian, and it is now expected that he will present his cre- deutials to the queen regent next Mon- day. During Mr. Storer’s sojourn in San Sebastian there have been no popular demonstrations, and there is nothing to indicate that he will be re- ceived here otherwise than courteous- ly. It is quite improbable that. there will be any annoyance or demonstra- tion in connection with his arrival. Mr. Storer has wired asking that aptrt- ments be prepared at the United States legation for himself, his wife and their servants, but as the legation building is very small he will probably be obilged to have recourse to a hotel un- til a larger house can be chosen for the legation. U. S. MAY MEDIATE. Between England and the Transvaal Republic. London, June 11.—The Westminster Gazette says a rumor is current from a well informed source that it has been proposed in a responsible quarter that the United States mediate between Great Britain and the Transvaal. It is added that the suggestion is being considered, and “it is even net im- probable that such mediation may be undertaken.” Washington, June 11.—The president, it is said here, under no circumstances would consent to extend an offer of mediation between Great Britain and the Transvaal save upon request of both parties to the pending dispute. It is believed that President Kruger would not willingly seek our good of- fices owing to the well recognized fact that in many points concerning the Uitlanders the interests of the United States are identical with those of Great Britain. Americans took part in the ill-starred Jamison raid and we are interested in maintaining a large measure of freedom in the entrance of mining machinery, dynamite and such imports into the Transvaal. Akg Ma eS CUBAN BRIGANDS. Civil Authorities Are Charged With Indifference. Havana, June 11.—News frem Puer- to Principe tend to confirm the story of sive brigandage prevailing in that e and that armed forces are terrerizing the country. They are cope- rating in small towns outside of rail- road and telegraph connection and their depredations are seldom reported. Farmers brought news to Principe that a week ago at Cascorro, fifty miles out, bandits kil'ed two Spaniards, Narcisco Agnero and Isidor Morro, and robbed their plantations of horses, cattle and money. The bandits went to the plan- tation on foot. It is thought they be- long in Cascorro and were formerly an soldiers. They took the two men away and the bodies were found xt morning by th adside. The in- difference of ‘the civil authorities to- ward stopping the outrages is ma the bandits bolder, Gen. Lee has r ommended that a force ‘of soldiers be stationed in all the towns in the Pina dist where brigandage is also ex- tens ted on, The military au- thor y there are not sufficient sold here to properly protect the inland towns. BANDIT LYNCHED, Indignant Citizens ef Holguin, Cuba, Take the Law Into Their Own Hands, Santiago, Cuba, June 11.—An official report from Helguin yesterday de- scribes the lynching of Antonio Garcia, a bandit chief who was taken from the armerie by indignant citizens and Holguin is ene of the most law- districts in the island, and this ishment under all condi- c Jed a faverable symp- Several of Garciu’s accomplices tom. have offered to surrender to the Ameri- ean commander at Holguin, who cabled Gen.

Marshalltown, Iowa, Juze 11. — An agreement has just been reached for the dismissal of all suits against the estate of the late Millionaire C. Beard- man, resulting from the contest over his will and equitable division of the property. The temporary receivership was annulled and the estate matters were placed in the hands of C. H, Con- ver, Boardman’s son-in-law, for adjust- ment. Mrs. Boardman reczives about $500,000 and relinquishes dower rights in all the real estate. BOARDMA SCHOONER WRECKED.

WAR IS IMMINENT Bellemy | TROUBLE BETWEEN NICARAGUA AND COSTA RICA. and Supplies Are Being Rushed to the Border of Both Costa Rica and Nicarauga— All Kinds of Rumors Are Being Cir- culated in Bluefields — Business Men Consulted Regarding the Raising of a Large Sum of Money to Be Used for the Purchase of Munitions of War. Memphis, Tenn., June 9.—A special to the Commerical-Appeal from New Orleans says: From advices received from Bluefields via steamship Sun- niva, which sailed from that port June 1, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are on the brink of war. The Times-Democrat correspendent writes: The other day Torres left Bluefields for the interior via San Juan del Norte with 165 sol- diers and forty-one prisoners, the Costa Rican authorities on the San Juan river where that river passes through Costa Rican territory, and up which stream it was necessary to go in order to reach Managua, refused to allow the force to pass through. As a gonsequence the soldiers and prisoners were left in Greytown and Torres went on into the interior to report the mat- ter to Zealaya. As yet no action has been taken. Troops and supplies, it is said, are being rushed to the border by both Costa Rica and Nicaragua, All kinds of rumors are being circulated in Bluefields. The condition of affairs Lends Significance : to a gathering held in Bluefields on ‘Tuesday, May 30, when Gen. Estrada called a meeting at the palace of the merchants and business men of Blue- fields. In opening the meeting he read a telegram from President Zealaya wherein it was stated that it was the purpose of the government to retire all paper money and to put the country on n siiver basis. The general then pro- ceeded to explain that it would be nec- essary to raise 1,000,060 sols on the At- lantic coast. He stated that he had called the meeting to consult with the business men of the coast and to get their advice as to how the money could be raised. He expects to raise the loan from the me nts and has given them until Thursday at 2 p. m. to think the matter over and give their tnswer. It is said the Nicaraguan government is retiring paper money at the rate of 30,000 to 40,000 sols a month. The demand for silver money is believed to be created by the pend- ing war, for Nicaragua needs muni- tion's and her paper money is worthless outside of her own boundaries. IT IS PANICKY. London Market Affected by South African News. London, June 9. — Consols are dul. Late in the day operators on the stock exchange were seriously disturbed by the South African news. Prices dropped sharply and there was a semi- panic in the street. The report of the breakdown of the Bloemfontein nego- tiations has created considerable anx- iety in political and official circles, and there is much speculation as to the next move cf the British government While Great Britain probably does not mean war, it is generally thought that, at any rate, there will be military preparations. x “SHEER FABRICATION.” Chairman Hanna Says He Has No Idea of Retiring. Cleveland, Ohio, June 9. — Senator Hanua flatly denied the report sent from Washington that he intended to retire from the ¢hairmanship of the naticnal Republican committee. “It's a sheer fabrication,” said the senatcr. “I don’t see how or by whom the story could have been started. There is no basis for it, I shall retire from the chairmanship when my tesm is up, of course, but you can say that I fully expect to call the next national convention to order.” TOO OUTSPOKEN. French Officer to Be Cashiéred for Criticising the War Minister. Paris, June 9.—The minister cf war M. Krantz, has requested the military governor of Paris, Gen. Zurlinden, to summon a court-martial with the view of cashiering the Nationalist deputy, M. Lasies, who is also a lieutenant of reserve cavalry, for an article pub- lished by him in the Libre Parole, de- pouncing the war minister. DENVER’S FIX. “Blanket Franchise in Perpetuity” Upheld by the Court.

Augustin Daly Dead. Paris, June 9.—Augustin Daly died suddenly yesterday afternoon. M1. Daly’s death was due to heart failure. He arrived here last Saturday and was stopping at the Hotel Continental, ‘Wales and Sir Thomas to Race.

Fifty years ago Thursday the Terri- tory of Minnesota was organized into B separate government and became en- titled to representation in congress. A half-century is a long time for the] He Expects present generation to look back upon. It means almost the lifetime of the av- erage person, and yet when the terri- torial pioneers sat down to their annu- al repast at the Mercuants hotel at St. Paul, there were twenty-seven of these same pioneers present, not one of whom arrived in St. Paul less than fifty years ago. Many were in the full vigor of manhood, their eyes not dim nor their natural force abated. It was fitting that the occasion of their fiftieth anniversary should have been held at the Merchants hotel, for it was on the site of this structure, in the little two-story hotel called the St. Paul house, that Gov. Alex Ramsey perfected the territorial organization and assumed the duties of his office. The territorial pioneers who met on Thursday, with the dates of their ar- riival in the territory, were: Isaac N. Goodhue, 1849; Russell Blakelk, 1847; Mahlon Black, 1842; S. P. Folsom 1846; J.

The gunboat Petrel has also been placed at the pro- fessor’s disposal, and he will visit Ilo- ilo, Cebu, Negros and Sulu. He expects to investigate the local governments and have talks with the leading na- tives. He will sail for home in July.

The venerable gov- ernor is hale and hearty, as everybody knows, and when he arose it seemed scarcely credible that the trials and eares of eighty-five years had passed over his head. His voice was firm and strong, and he had the appearance of not being over fifty, Goy. Ramsey proiested against speech-making, but the occasion brought back recollections of the p: when he arrived in St. Paul. He sai “T can recollect when this was a very small place; the population was small, but the people had great expectations, and I am glad to say that our faith in the future has been verified. I remem- ber very well the meeting that was called in the little hotel that after- wards became the Merchants, for the purpose of organizing a_ territorial form of government. It was in a little room about 8x10. ‘The few who were present sat around on trunks and en the bed and perfected the organizatiou.

I % COL. FROST’S REPORT. Ie Gievs Details of the Work of the South Dakota Regiment. Washington, June 9.—The report of Col. A. S. Frost, First South Dakota, giving the details of the operations of his regiment in the fighting of Feb. 2 and 3, was made public at the war de- partment yesterday. This regiment re pulsed an early morning attack by the Filipinos. There were several move- ments during the day and sometimes the enemy occupied the ground which had once been covered by companies of the South Dakota regiment. After- wards guns of the Utah battery were brought into action and did effective work in driving the insurgents out of the woods and from the cover they had sought when repulsed by the infantry. Col. Frost speaks’in high terms of Maj. Charles A. Howard, Captains A. L. Fuller and A. B, Sessions, and Adju- tant Jonas H. Lien, who commanded different detachments of the regiment. Gen. Anderson made a report on Feb. 21 concerning the fires that occurred in Manila the night before. He con- curred in the report of the inspector general that they were of incendiary origin. In 230 vacant houses candles were left burning, so that they would set fire to the buildings, which were burned down. Two Filipinos were taken in women’s clothing, who evi- dently were incendiaries. The natives in the vicinity of the fires all had their effects packed ready to move. Gen. Anderson commends Capt.

Whereabouts of Our Minister to Spain Are Unknown, Washington, June 9.—Secretary Hay is seeking Bellamy Storer, the new American minister to Spain, whose whereabouts are unknown. The cause of Mr. Storer’s failure to appear in Madrid and present his credentials to the Spanish government is unknown to the authorities. When last heard from he was in Paris, where he conferred with Due d’Arcos and made arrange- ments for his presentation to the queen regent of Spain. It wes.then under- stood that he was to go on a short va- cation, and it may be that he intended prolonging his stay at his present stop- ping place. As the United States has no business of a pr ug nature with Spain, Mr. Storer’s failure to make his appearance in Madrid is not embar. rassing to this government. PUNISHMENT OF OFFICIALS.
