Most of those killed wera - the depot of the Chicago Great Western road, some of tbera having just alighted from a train, and others having taken refuge from the ram. Tbe depot was literally blown to pieces. The west bound passenger. train escaped the cvclope by but a few min utes - Had it remained at the station five minntt-3 loneet the list of ktllei wf-uld un doubtedly have been numbered by scores.

Nothing has been henrd from the northeastern end of the county where it is feared ,the storm cused the greatest damage. A messenger from Bondnrant.who arrived at o clock, says that It. G. Scott, a promi nent farmer was killed; also that a church at Ankeny was blown down and several per sons were hurt. , the town of Granger was badly wrecked The number of,-farm houses wrecked be-tween-Weria ami P.mdurant is very large. A number of coffins have been shipped to Honduraut on the Great Western extra, via Berwick, the nearest paint. f As definite-accounts reach 'here of the stormrin 1'olk .and Jasper counties, the num ber of dead is placeu at' twenty, with as rnnuy moie seriously injured. A number df women will certainly die. ..The storm started in two divisions, about twelve miles north of eMoi.nes, "the starting points being nine miles apart. As the divisions progressed, they gathered farce and gradu aijy converged until they met two miles cist of'Aiiky. and here they developed the cyclone in form with funnel u'.d tremen dous force and roaring and electrical dis turbances. From this-polnt west for nearly twenty miles the piit'h of the storm is a p.-.th of destruction. The greatest loss of life occurred in the tract of the storm from I'ondurant to the northeast., Nothing was led in its path. It passed for several miles through a dense forest with oak trees two feet in diameter. All were snapped off short'or torn up by the roots. Houses struck by the storm disappeared utterly. Thepath covered by the cyclone proper is in most piaews from forty to- sity rods wide. It p. "i rtra'ed all the remak4,,le freaks that (tvclOBi "-j are famous for.. Those who heard it early saved' themselves by getting into their caves or cellars. In other places Whole families were killed or terribly injured" and their property dtroyed. - 1 Xs A tvpical brt of destruction was' at the r.aileyiiome, northwest of Bondurant, Two minutes-after the storm struck there was no trace of the house, tave the cellar, and in it was piled the chimney and stoves, italf the furniture of the houss . was torn to pieces, the boards intr splinters.

The repeal of the section was vigorously opposed by Messrs Russell and Hill, Repub licans of Connecticut, on the ground that it would be a reversal of one of the principles of the Republican party in the matter of protsction, the latter giving notice that he would move to strike out the repeal clause and insert instead the amendment for a committee on investigation.

Spanish Forcea Notlfld ot Her Prea enc The Hurry to Get Men and9 rma on Shore Approach of a Warship -Men Attempt to Swim Asbure At- x tanked "by Shark. Horrible Torture of the Prisoner. Ket WE,T,Fla., May 25 The correspond ent of the Southern Associated Press has re ceived the f ollowing graphic account of the capture of the schooner .Competitor by the steamer Mascotte, which arrived here from Havana Saturday night. My informant; writes that the Competitor reached the coast of Cuba about midday of April 2dth and came to anchor about a mile from Borru cos, a small village on the West coast of Cuba between Muriel nd Espe raiiza. A bar prevented a nearer approach to the land. Just before coming to anchor a small Ashing boat was seen to hoist sail and start dowji towards Port Efperaww acd.-as it was afterwards learned, reported the mat ter to the. authorities. The Competitor had three small boats, one of which was sup plied with a sail, and. in this boat Antonio Cristo, with seventeen men, were, sent on shore to reconnoitre. Everything looked favorable and they loaded the other two boats with the ammunition and provisions and started for the shore. William Levitt and Charles Barnett were de tailed to bring them back to the schooner. In the meantime, the sail boat had re turned and reported thatabout three miles to the south were 600 troops and on the northward 2X) more, and as there was only one pass into the interior it was necessary to move quickly or they would be cut off. A few moments after the boats with the am munition and provisions had left the schooner, the launch Mansaiera' hove in sight. Col. Munzon ordered the balance of his men into the hoat and loaded her with ammunition and started for the land. Ben jamin Gurk and another sailor were detailed to return to the Competitor for the rest of the party. About the same time that Munzon left the schooner the two small boats were set to start for the Competitor to wing one behind the other, but before t bey had got very far from the land the Mansajera fired on the Competitor. The first shot went about one mile wide, but at every discharge they came nearer until finally they came so close that the water spattered over the schooner. There were on the vessel at this time Alfredo L orde, captain; William Gildea. mate: Orna Milton, Bpecial correspondent of the Times 4'uion; Dr. Elias Bedia and Augnstin Que sada, of Key West, and Teodora Maza. Laborde and the mate tried to hoist the American flag, but the halyards became fastened, in the-xtopsail and then they fast ened it ohthe foresail boom, i Munzon In bis haste to get away left be hind seyeralboxe3 of dynamite and the firing was so rapid and the shots coming so close that Laborde. (aesdi and Gildea be came alarmed and started.to swim a3hor. Milton", Bedia and Maza remained on board. Munzon and party had by this time reached fie shore and were landing and the Mansa jera directed her guns on them, killing one of the horses which Cristo and his patty had captured. The Mansajera came to - anchor at the bar and dispatched a small boat msnned.by five sailors to capture the men in the-water Quesada had already disap peared, having undoubtedly been , seized by a shark. Laborde states that he saw a large shark pass by him and towards Quesada. Two sailors rowed the boat while the others kept up a constant fire, first at Laborde and then at Gildea. They fired forty or fifty shots at iaDorde beiore they overtook him. Gudea; who is an excellent swimmer, was rapidly lessening the. distance between him and the land. 'JSeemg this; the . Spaniards opened fire on him and finally overtook him about iuu yards irom shore. They then re turned to Laborde, who was in the act of sinking for the third time'. They took him in the boat where he, lay insensible for some time. Munzon. while the Spaniards were cap turing Laborde and Gildea, had landed. Cristo had secured all the horses he could find and loaded them with ammunition The two Spanish troops on shore had. been notified and were on the march to cut them off from the mountain pass. Munzon was thereby compelled to abandon his pro visions. 30,000 rounds of ammunition and about thirty rines and started for the pass His men carried 150 rifles and 40,000 rounds of - ammunition. Each ' man was armed with a rifle, a revolver and a machete of the finest make. Benjamin Gurk, a Mormon from Dantztc was one of the party. Levitt and Barnett reached the shore just after Munzon had left, and, not knowing the country, wandered about until they were captured by Capt. Pozo. Although Levitt ana uarneu were unarmed, pozo was dec orated with a red cross in recognition of the brave capture. After tafemg Laborde and Giiiea, the Spaniards returned the Competitor and canea on Milton, ueoia ana Maza to sur render, but, fearing treachery, compelled them to jump overboard before they would approacn tne side or ine schooner. The prisoner were men nea ' with their arms behind them in a most barbarous manner. so that in a few moments all were suffering me greatest aguuy. iney were men car ried to the MaDsajera which ls7 sbout. 100 yards off and placed on the deck and after several hours of intense suffering thev were landed on the dock atPort Esperanza wnere.a neavy guard was niaced over mem and after a few hours more of ttgony their arms were loosened. X On the morning of the v 27th, the day aiter tne capture, ine uontra Maestro: with several adjutants.came outto them and began tying ineir ieet, telling mem at the same time to prepare, for death. Dr. Bedia was tied first, and commanded to kseel down and hold himself Eteadysothat the execu tioner would make a clean cut.

Tne.General Assembly Down to Earn est Work Reports of Committees The Work of Seamen's Bethels. Memphis, Tenn , May 25 This morning's business at the General assembly begun in religious V were conducted by Eev. I. N.Taff, of Vir. ginia, theldest commissioner present, of. which fact the moderator in a graceful speech reminded.the assembly. A proposition to dispense with the after noon's session met with considerable opposi tion, but was adopted. Several reports and overtures were then read and referred. Dr. Vass, chaplain of the Universitv of Virginia, rendered a report on theological seminaries. It commended the progress made and approved the election of Dr. Strickler and Dr. Hall ' to chairs in Union and Columbia seminaries, adopted Dr. Burkitt's report from foreign correoon- dence. The committee recommended $150 in stead of S480, as the annual appropriation for the Pan-Presbyterian Alliance. It was hotlv debated by Drs, Woodrow, Vance, Hemphill and others. Probably the best spesch 6f this hot debate was made by Hon. w. a., cox, a member of the Mississippi Legislature from Prentiss countv. who od- posed any decrease.jn the appropriation. It was nnany settled that the delegates ap pointed last year to attend the coming Ulat-s- gow meeting of the alliance should ask for an investigation ot the basis or representa tion and assessments. " The chaplain of the New Orleans seamen's bethel, Rev. R T. Steele, then addressed the assembly on the subject of work among the seamen He spoke of the good work being done at Mobile, Charleston, Savannah, Nor folk and other Southern ports, as well as at Mew Orleans na remarks were brier and received close attention. A special com mittee will be appointed to make a report on this subject. , The .moderator appointed Rev. if. H. Brown and Elder C. E. Stupton a commit tee on the Bethel address. The committee on bills and overtures through the chair man, Dr. Hemphill, reported in regard to the overture from the presbytery of Mem phis, asking that regular reports be ordered from the church regarding their Westmin ster leagues and that the committee on pub lication be ordered to furnish suitable blanks for this purpose, that the committee recom mend that the petition be granted adopted. ur. nempnui lurtner reported Mat his committee recommended that the overture from the same presbvtery, asking interpre tation as to whether it be lawful to elect as commissioner to the general assembly a ruling elder in active service in a church un der its jurisdiction who is not a member of the presbytery at the time of his election. be answered thus: That it is competent for presbvtery to choose as their commis sioners to the general assembly any ruling elder under its jurisdiction adopted. The committee on Dins ana overtures further reported as to the overtures from the presbyteries of South Carolina and of Knoree asking amendments to tne rorm or government, that the assembly decline to send down to the presbyteriej the proposed amendment to the Dook oi Church order adoDted. The committee further reported, as to the overture of the presbytery ot V limington asking the assembly to so amend the constu tution as to make it possible for two or more weak churches to eombine under one pas toral government, that they-were unable to frame an amendment to me3t the case which would not be an infringement upon the inherent rights of the congregations: The negative report of tbe committee was adopted Several overtures of minor importance were then disposed or without debate, As to the overture from the Presbytery of I South Alabama, asking the assembly to state whether the government of the tem poral affairs of the Church inheres to the deacons of the Church by virtue of their ordination, or by special act of the Church session, the committee recommended that an answer n)8 sent saying that the adminis tration of the temporal aGairs of the Church does not inhere to the deacons by. virtue of tneirordinationDut may properly be com mitroH , rn themX The nhict of this ovar. ture wad' to ascertain, whether,- in the opinion of the assembly, thexdiaconate received its authority over the -temporal affairs' ' of the Church from the 8es8ion,or because of ordi nation. Dr. Praig suggested the defining of what was meant1-by temporal affairs as an amendment to the motion which had been made to adopv the committee's report. There was some debate, and upon the vote the amendment was lost, Dr. Woodfow offered a substitutexfor Dr. Hemphill's answer to the overture and this precipitate! a nveiy tnres cornered nght be tween Dr. Hemphill, Dr. Woodrow and l)r L. C. yass, in the course or ywhich there. were two threatened appeals from the Mod erator s decision, neither of which, how ever, could get a second. There -was evi dent a little disposition to take advantage of the extreme anabinty or Moderator Mallard. but when he realized that the house was get ting into a tangle through this debate on points-ef order, ne brought nis strong com.r mon sense to tyear, brushing away all the quibbles and suuimarify choking off the de bate. Dr. Woodrow's substitute was lost and the report of the committee was adopted. It is Understood, however, that this is not the end of the matter, as one of the elders, Mr Dean, ot upoiiKa. Ala., says he will move for the appointment ot a special committee to whom this matter may be referred, and an amendment to the - hook prepared to be sent to the presbyteries for. their approval. Atter. some unimportant announcements. the assembly took a recess at 12:30 o'clock untilS o clock p. m. The mass meeting in f aVor of f oreian missions was caneo to order promptly at 8 o clock, by Moderator Mullard, who an nounced some changes in the committees owing to the 'departure of some of the com missioners. itev. Dr. i-air, ar itichmond, va., led in prayer. Ihehrst speaker was Rev. J. P. Smith, D. D.. who spoke feelingly of the missionaries wno nave died during tne year, ur. omitn is cn airman or tne standing com muiee on roreign missions, ana Was in charge of the meeting. The next Ei.saker was Key. John L. Stuart, a missionary from China, who described the work in that land. 1 he, mission was inaugurated m 18b7. It now has elevtn stations, hftv-eieht missionaries and 535 converts. His address was yery interesting. He was followed by Rev. " H. P. Price,Nxf Japan, who sooke gratefully of tbe kind treatment he and the other i missionaries have always re ceived from the Japanese Govern ment and people. There are now 364 Protestant churches in Jaoan... Of these seventy-five are Presbyterian with seyenty- mne oraainea ministers and 11,000 v mem- oes. .ine innuence ot cnristamtv is wonderful in that country. In the first parliament of Japan there were thirteen Christians, of whom a Presbyterian was chosen Speaker. &i tae conclusion of Mi. Price s address. short talks were made by Director Chester and others. Much interest was manifested in this branch of the church's work and the closest attention was paid to each speaker An Important Customs Decision, Washington, May 25 A customs case of much importance was decided in the Su preme court of the United States to-day, the opinion be.ing read by Mr. Justice White, the effect of which will be to pro i ect the treasury sgairibt the withdrawal or a considerable sum. Chas. A. Allen, owner of the steamer Humboldt, engaged in the coastwise trade on the Pacific, sued the Uni ted States to recover 94, claimed to be due him as drawback on bituminus coal im ported by him and used on the. Humboldt, under the provisions of the Tariff act tf 1883.' The Government contended that the arawbacs; provision .pleaded by Allen waj repealed by the act of 1890 (the McKinley law), but the Circuit court and- txmrt ot Ap peals for the Ninth Circuit decided against j the United Sfates. This was reversed by the Supreme court of the United State, ana the case remanded, with instructions to render i juagment ror tne unitea states. J'ower. - -Latest U. S.
