Marcus Ward’s Young Ladies’ Seminary was a couple of hundred yards east of the storm’s path. A hotel building close to it was demolished. A score of guests stood up on the porticos and in the dining-rooms of the Still House, half a mile west of path, and saw it sweep majestically through the town, terrified at the manifestation of the ruin and death it was wreaking. Roofs blew ahead of the blast like leaves. Seemingly far in front of the revolv- ing point of the dun cloud stuff. and full 100 yards in the sky, now and then a great branching tree would toss up in the arms of the blast high over the city and spin on ahead like a wheat straw out of a threshing machine. People are found on every side who tell of seeing human forms sweeping skyward as birds, and from the list of missing .among East Side families the story seems credible. One horse was blown out of the shafts of a road wagon which lodged against the front of a house in the edge of the wind’s track. No one knows what became of the animal. Members of households disappeared with the partial demolition of homes, while oth- ers remained unhurt among the debris. Along the edge of the storm path. holes are seen through frame houses as if punctured by cannon balls. A second edition of the cyclone fol- lowed the first in about twenty min- utes. It came as an ink black cloud. widely distributed, and covered the whole town. On its front the terrified people beheld a gleaming yellow crest with a sweeping, changing, ominous aspect that betokened another chariot of death.

PHILADELPHIA, April 27.—In the presence of President McKinley and his wife, members of his Cabinet, three gen- erations of General U. S. Grant's family and a great crowd of peoplé Miss Rose- mary Sartoris, granddaughter of General Grant, to-day unveiled an heroic eques- trian statue of her illustrious grandfather in Fairmount Park. Although the day was not a holiday in honor of the event, there was a great outpouring of patriotic citi- zens. Flags were everywhere displayed throughout the city and the ships in the harbor were gayly dressed in colors. This | city each year commemorates the birth- day of General Grant, but never did it celebrate it as it did to-day. The weather was beautiful. The morning broke dull indication of rain, but early in the morning the sun came out and his warm rays were never again crossed by clouds during the day. President McKinley and Mrs. McKinley enjoyed themselves immensely during their outing to-day. Everywhere they were warmly greeted by the people, ta which both of them graciously responded. The President showed no signs of his re- cent slight indisposition. Next to the President and his wife, Mrs. Grant and Miss Sartoris shared the attention of the people, and they, too, were cheered every- where they were recognized. The unveil- ing was a great success in every way; not an accident marred the occasion, nor was there a hitch at any time during the day. The statue is located in a beautiful spot | along the east drive of the Schuylkill River, in Fairmount Park. It is the gift of the Fairmount Park Art Association to the people of Philadelphia. The gallant littl lying in the Delaware off this city, was not lost sight of during the unveiling ceremonies. All day long great crowds ed the river near where the cruiser lying, and hundreds of people paid a sit on board and were shown about the el. The only active part the cruiser took in the ceremonies of the day was the firing of a salute as the monument was unveiled. A most pleasing incident was the greet- ing between the President and the trepid Coghlan, captain of This was the first opportunity the Presi- dent has had of talking to the commander of the Raleigh since his arrival in this country. v one watched to see how the fighting captain would be received by the President of the:United States, and a great cheer went up as the President re: stretched forth his hand and grasped that | of the commander. The President smiled and seemed in every way pleased to greet the captain. The President immediately engaged in conversation with Captain Coghlan, which lasted for fully two minutes. There was a review of the 6000 troops. The parade was started at 2:30 o'clock, and (&h" line of march was north on Broad treet from Spruce, around the City Hall to Spring Garden street, thence west to the river drive in Fairmount Park and then up the drive past the statue. The parade reached the reviewing stand a few minutes after the statue had been un- veiled.

So far as Captain Coghlan is concerned, it is said that it was not Secretary Long’s purpose to relieve him before he left Wa ington to-day for Philadelphia, conference with the President in that city should show the advis- ! ability of such action. The let- ter of reprimand already sent to Captain Coghlan will hardly be made public, unless the captain gives it out himself. MONAGHAN BEHEADE! BEFORE HIS DEATH There Is Still Fierce Fighting Among the Natives of the Somoan Islands. AUCKLAND, N. Z., April 27.—Par- ticulars of the fighting in Samoa, con- tained in the advices received here from Apia under date of April 18, show that the battle between the friendly natives and the rebels took place at Vailelo, and that the latter lost one hundred men in killed and wounded. Further details of the deaths of En- sign J. R. Monaghan of the United States cruiser Philadelphia and Lieu- tenant P. V. Lansdale of the same ves- sel have been received. Monaghan was beheaded before he was dead. A deserter from the Mataafa forces says Monaghan and Lansdale were retreat- ing when they were discovered by a chief and his wife, who were looking for dead men. They gave the alarm and Monaghan was shot while continu- ing the retreat. Later, it appears, the rebels returned and Kkilled Lansdale. Monaghan fought until he was wound- e€d and he was then beheaded. The octor’s examination of the remains nfirms the statements made. Suatelle, the principal rebel chief, ran away and told his people a hundred British had been killed. Mataafan deserters assert that the Germans sent cartridges in bags of rice and sugar along the coast in De- cember. A Admiral Kautz, it is asserted in the advices received, fired a blank shot on April 8 across the bows of a German schooner which was leaving Apia with- out reporting. The rebels, who were in possession of the late Robert L. Stevenson’s house and some forts, were attacked in the rear by some Tamasese friendlies, who | | killed three of them and wcunded oth- ers. Onme friendly native was killed in the fight. g Frightful weather has been prevail- ing at Apia, the sailors being com- pelled to sleep four nights in the wet trenches. The friendly natives under the com- mand of Lieutenant R. A. Gaunt of the British third-class cruiser Porpoise were attacked on April 12 from the French mission station at Falita. One | of his men was wounded. The rebels were eventually routed with the loss of four men killed. The Tamasese lines were extended April 13 to the Vailelema rujser Raleigh, now | in- | the Raleigh. | BECALLED prohibiting | sh- | SATISFIED WITH WASHINGTON, April 27.—“We have no secrets about the Philippine cam- paign,” said Secretary Alger to-day. “All the news we receive from Manila regarding the campaign is given to the public.. The President directed that this should be done. There is no un- easiness over the situation in the Phil- ippines more than we have had since Aguinaldo went on the warpath. The President and Secretary of War have perfect confidence in Major General Otis, and those who act with him in the Philippines. The public should re- member we do not have to rely upon , Otis alone, though he is a soldier who deserves the confidence of the Govern- ment. But General Otis has with him | the Philippines Commission, of which he and Dewey are members. He is act- | ing in harmony with the commission. and in the campaign he has the coun- sel of Dewey and other members, who are studying the peace side of the proposition. There is no reason to fear Otis and Dewey and the commission | will lose sight of the main purpose, | which is peaceable control of the | islands. “In the strictly military campaign, General Otis has in the field executing his orders Lawton, MacArthur, Wheaton and Hale, who are among the best we have in the army.

General Miles has recommended the organization of ten regiments of negro troops for the Philippines, and he also recommended officers to command them, from major general down through the list. But he has recom- mended six additional generals for this force, while the law permits only major general for every 12,000 troops, and one brigadier general for every 4000 troops.

Here Mataafa attacked the friendlies and Gaunt’s brigade joined in the engagement and fought we! Four bodies of slain rebeis were re- covered. The others were dragged away. One friendly was killed and be- headed. The rebels had a German flag flying from their forts. About 2000 women and children have sought refuge at the Maluit station of the London Missionary Society. | The rebels are seizing the traders’ rifles, cartridges and stores, and the traders are fleeing to Apia. Business is at a standstill and a strong land force is urgently needed. Von Buelow, formerly a lieutenant in the German army and the man who or- ganized the forces of Mataafa here, armed with a sword, gun and car- tridges, proceeded to Savaii with thir- teen Boats and 400 rebels, and the Ger- man warship Falke salled cn a secret mission with Herr Rose and the Ger- man Consul on board. Captain Leslie C. Stuart, commander of the British third-class cruiser Tauranga, in the absence of Admiral Kautz, who was coaling the Philadelphia at Pango- Pango, wrote to the German Consul, urging him to secure Von Buelow, and | the next day the Falke returned with Von Buelow on board. The offer of New Zealand to send troops to Samca caused enthusiasm at | Apia. 'The inhabitants are almost | unanimous in the belief that the Ber- lin treaty is a failure and there is a strong feeling in favor of annexation. Prominent American citizens and Brit- ish subjects say unless Mataafa is sub- dued another war is inevitable within a year. The British third-class cruiser Por- poise is still engaged in punitive cruises. On April 15 a battle was fought at Mangia, fifteen miles east of Apia. | About 2000 rebels attacked a Gaunt landing party, consisting of about 100 men. The latter were subjected to a hot fire and retreated to the shelving beach, where they defended themselves bravely for a time and afterward swam back to their boats under a heavy fire. Chief Aulinangi, with twelve friendly | natives, refused to retire, and charged into a burning village, driving a num- ber of rebels before him with splendid, reckless bravery. Gaunt’s party then returned to the assistance of the friend- lies and the whole party retired, with four men wounded and after several of the party had miraculously escaped. The cutter belonging to the party fired all its Nordenfeldt ammunition during | the fight and the Porpoise frequently ;shelled the bush. The rebels had eight | men killed and many wounded. Only | one of the bluejackets in the cutter was | wounded. A trader fled toward the warship and succeeded in escaping, although six rebels took deliberate aim at him as he was rowing off. On April 17 a second battle was fought at Vailelema. The fighting was | desperate, the rebels holding strong fortifications, which were ineffectively shelled by the ships. The friendlies ad- | vanced to the attack, with Falioalete and Dana on the left, Gaunt in the center, with 120 men from Fuamasanga on the right. Gaunt's party delivered such a heavy fire that the rebels re- treated to a second and stronger fort about 150 yards back. The Fuamasanga friendlies bolted, but Gaunt crawled out to the firing line and drove them back at the point of his revolver. They then advanced to attack the second fort, but found the position too strong and lost several men killed and wounded. Ten shells from the ships burst close behind the rebels and they sang a war song after the explosion of each shell. Gaunt again returned to the attack and heavy firing on both sides fol- lowed, during which the attackers suf- fered further losses. Gaunt succeeded in crawling to within fifty yvards of the fort, but found it too strong to cap- ture, as the friendly supports were un- reliable. The party then retired in good order with four men killed and eighteen kwounded, of which number three were mortally hurt. The rebel loss was not | ascertained, but was probably small. | The Tauranga and Porpoise shelled | the position at sundown, but the re- sult of the firing is not known. Gaunt’s brigade and a portion of the friendly supports stood the fire splendidly. During the engagement Gaunt suc- | ceeded in capturing a German flag { which was flying over the first fort. The British Consul, E. B. S. Maxse, | and Mr. Adel, the surgeon of the Phila- | delphia, were under fire all day long. A further attack was to have been made the next day. On the return of the landing party Captain Stuart of the Tauranga signaled “Well done, Gaunt’s brigade,” and the Americans and Brit- ish cheered the returning party, whose vivandiers were proudly carrying the captured German colors.

The Badger carried 1000 tons of fuel for her, which will last until the Abarenda Samoa, to establish a coaling station. The Abarenda is now at Fort Monroe and will sail from there the last of this week, carrying 2400 tons of the best Virginia steam coal. She will also con- vey to Pago-Pago material for the| construction of a wharf and coaling station to be erected at that port. The work of erectirg coal sheds will con- sume about a year. The wharf proper is to be T-shaped and will extend out from shore to the thirty-foot mark. It will be supported on solid steel piles, seven inches thick, which will be screwed into the coral forming the bottom of the harbor. The sheds for the storage of coal will be of iron and the station will be equipped with small tramways and automatic steam ma- chinery. ELECTRIC LINE FOR PHOENIX. H. E. Huntington and I. W.
