Awful Affair.
Hutchinson, Kan., March 21.—An
atrocious crime was revealed here yes-
treday when the coroner and his as-
sistant removed the dead bodies of
five little children from the house oc-
cupied by John More which burned at
at an early hour. The coroner’s jury
investigated the case and in accord-
ance with the jury’s recommendations
Moore, the father of the dead children,
was arested on the charge of murder.
The tragedy has caused much excite-
ment here and and there is some talk
of lynching the prisoner. When the
firemen and neighbors reached the
burning house the father was the
only member of the family of seven
found outside. While the building
was still burning and his children
within the burning walls he took a
horse from the stable and rode away.
When the firemen entered the house
after having partly quenched the
flames they found the five children
lying on the floor, all dead, but badly
burned. The coroner’s autopsy held
yesterday afternoon developed evi-
dence of an aweful crime. The skull
of each child was deeply indented. All
but one of the children had been stab-
bed in the neck. It was upon these
facts and the strange behavior of the
father that the authorities base their
charge or murder.
When Moore was called before the
coroner’s jury to testify he pretended
to believe that an exploding lamp had
cause the fire and that his children
met death in the flames. He testified
that -he was awakened from a deep
sleep by the smoke and that he found
the house afire all over. It was fifteen
minutes, he said, before he recovered
his senses and that he did not try to
save his children because he knew
they must be dead, as the fire had
started in the room in which they
were sleeping. His riding away from
the fire he explained by stating that
his wife was away from home attend-
ing a sick friend and that he went to
tell her of their loss. Moore showed
little concern when the jury returned
the verdict charging him with murder.
Decapitated.
Manila, March 21.—It is reported on
high and reliable authority that Aguin-
aldo is taking extreme measures to
suppress signs calculated to cause a
cessation of hostilities. Twelve ad-
herents of the plan of independence,
residents of Manila, have been con-
demned to death because they wrote
advising surrender, and all loyal Fili-\
pinos have been called upon to per-
form the national service of dispatch-
ing them.
On Friday last Gen. Legarda visited
Malolos for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with the
insurgent leader and attempted to con-
vince him not to follow in the face
of overwhelming odds. Aguinaldo was
furious at the advice and ordered Gen.
Legardo to be executed immediately.
The unfortunate general was
promptly decapitated. Among the in-
cidents of yesterday’s fighting was the
coolness shown by a company of
Washington \olunteers, who crossed
the river in a native canoe under a
heavy fire—fifteen being taken across
on each trip cf the small boat—to at-
tack the enemy’s trenches.
The inability of the commissary train
to keep up with the advance led to
considerable suffering and many of the
men were completely exhausted when
they were recalled and, falling from
the ranks, were strung along for a
distance of almost six miles, numbers
returning to camp in the artillery am-
bulances, which were always close up
to the line. The work of the ambu-
lances was especially worthy of men-
tion.
Among the dead are several who
we re previously reported as wounded.
Walsli Dead.
Augusta, Ga.. March 21.—Hon. Pat-
rick Walsh, ex-United States senator
and mayor of Augusta, died at his res-
idence here, after a three months’
illness of nervous prostration. There
was little hope in the community of
his recovery, but his death was not
thought to be so near at hand.
Mayor Walsh was one of the most
prominent men in Georgia, and had na-
tional recognition as the earnest cham-
pion of southern development, and per-
haps the best authority on the mate-
rial resources and manufacturing pro-
ducts of the south.
Mr. Walsh was born in Ireland on
Jan. 1, 1840. At the age of 12 he was
apprenticed in the Charleston Engi-
neers, and in due time became a jour-
neyman printer. He came to Augusta
in 1862, and has ever since been identi-
fied with the press of the city, for twen-
ty-five years past as editor and pro-
prietor of the Augusta Chronicle.
In 1870 he became a member of the
city council, and from 1872 to 1873 he
served in the state legislature. In 1880-
84 and 1896 he was a delegate to the
Democratic national conventions, and
served four years as the Georgia mem-
ber of the national Democratic execu-
tive committee. He served as member
at large of the world’s fair commis-
sion; in 1894 was appointed by Gov. !
Northern to the United States senate j
on the death of Senator Colquitt; in j
December, 1897, was elected mayor of j
Augusta, which office he filled at the j
time of his death.
S«rious Trouble.
Havana, March 21—During the troub-
le between the Havana police and the
populace Sunday night three police-
men were killed and about twenty-five
persons were wounded on both sides.
Public opinion supports the police
without reserve.
Chief of Police Menocal gave orders
to suspend the public balls Sunday
night and Gen. Ludlow, in command
of the city of Havana, sustained the
chief of police. As the police were
approaching the place where the hall
of the Society of Pilar was in progress,
near Cerro, for the purpose of dispers-
ing it, in accordance with orders, the
people opened fire on them from the
house. The fire was returned by the
police. The result of a fusilade was
that two policemen were seriously
wounded and eighteen of their oppon-
ents were wounded.
In different wards three policemen
were assassinated whie on duty. The
murderers crept up behind them and
stabbed the officers to death.
Three colored men in Galiano street
a1 tacked a policeman with knives.
Officer defended liimsef with a revolv-
er, killing one of his assailants and
wounding another one. The third man
escaped.
Eleven Killed.
Birmingham, Ala., March 20.—A
tornado passed through the country
near here, creating great havoc be-
tween Heflin and Edwardsville. Eleven
people, members of the family of Mr.
Coffee, a farmer, are dead and it is
thought many others are injured, al-
though on account o>f the damage done
by the storm to the telegraph wires it
is impossible to get details.
The house of Mr. Coffee contained
eleven people when it was struck by
the storm. The building was entirely
demolished and all the inmates were
killed.
The path of the storm was about
twenty-five miles wide and it tore ev-
erything to pieces that lay before it.
Telegraph wires and poles are down
in every direction and trains are de-
layed greatly on account of the debris
piled on the track. It is thought great
damage has been done in the farming
district, but it is not believed that the
tornado struck any town.
The pah of the storm was about 290
yards wide and it traversed the coun-
try for twelve miles, beginning in the
northern part of Cleburne county, near
Irion City, and moving southward.
Thoes who saw it say that there was
an immense funnel-shaped cloud and
that it bounded along like a rubber
hall, rising at intervals and leaping
for several hundred yards without do-
ing any damage. Then when it de-
scended it would pick up houses and
crush them to pieces, uproot trees or
twist them off level with the ground
and sweep all before it. Lewis Coffee’s
residence, a strong double loghouse,
situated on a little hill, was in the
path of the storm. It was swept
away and the timbers scattered for a
mile. Ten of its eleven occupants were
instantly killed. Except the body of
the baby, which was found under the
ruins' of the chimney, the corpsus
of the victims were carried half a mile
and nine of them were found heaped
together. Every body had been strip-
ped of its clothing. One was twisted
around a stump and two others were
headless. Besides' the body of the
father lay Bessie Coffee, the only
members of the family not instantly
killed. She was unconscious and her
arms were around her dead father’s
neck. She is unable to talk and will
die.
In the same neighborhood the resi-
dences of J. W. Wilder, J. H. Cason,
Andrew Stiepan and Ben Stansell were
wrecked and their occupants injured.
Near Heflin a white woman whose
name cannot be learned was killed
nd five persons in the same family
hurt. It is estimated that about fifty
buildings were destroyed, between
twenty and twenty-five persons in-
jured and over a score of farms devas-
tated.

For Disinfection.
Washington, March 21.—Arrange-
ments have been completed by the sur-
geon general of the marine hospital
service for the disinfection in this
country of troops arriving from Cuba,
which can not receive this attention
before embarking. The majority of
the troops will he landed at Savannah

ers will receive attention at Bruns-
wisk, Blackbeard island and Charles-
ton. This is made necessary by the
desire of the wa* department to get
the troops over before the quarantine
regulations in this country go into ef-
fect on the first of next month.
Great Damage.
Memphis, Tenn., March 20.—A series
of wind storms passed over portions of
Alabama, Mississippi an I Arkansas
Raturdy, doing an immense amount of
property damage and killing.a number
of people. Tne storms go zered a radius
of several hundred miles, destroying
telegraph wires and cutting off com-
munication with a large part of the
affected country. Cleburne county,
Alabama, seems to have suffered the
most severely, the storm assuming the
proportions of a tornado. The reports
of fatalities in the county vary from
six to twenty and many more are re-
ported to have been injured.
At Sellers and Luverne, Ala., much
damage is reported. Dumas, Ark., was
practically wiped out of existence and
several other towns in the vicinity suf-
fered severely. One person is reported
killed at Hickory Flat, Miss., and as
the farm houses in the vicinity suf-
fered heavily it is not unlikely that
many fatalities occurred which have
not yet been reported.

and has no political future.
Col. Bryan’s telegraaphic reply was
that he did not regard Ingersoli as a

eligibility for the back number list nor
upon his prospects for the future, as
Col. Ingersoli does not believe in a
