town and northeasterly, crossing the
track of the Omaha, a mile east of
North Wisconsin Junction, destroying
the wires, unroofing barns, houses, out
buildings, haystacks, etc., all along its
path. Fifteen feet of the track on the

swept by a raging torrent. The storm
broke upon the valley, rain descending
in torrents, accompanied by hail and
heavy winds. Cultivated fields are cov-
ered and almost ruined, some being
washed to a depth of six feet. At Hock
ton, 14 miles above here, the Kickapoo
river is 12 feet above low water mark
and still rising rapidly, and all mill
- dams are being carried before it like
straws. Wagon roads are inundated,
bridges gone and travel is made impos
sible. It is the largest flood since 1831,
Avhen the entire valley was Hooded
from end to end.
At Sparta the approaches to five iron
bridges were washed away, many mill
dams were washed out, crops damaged
and live stock drowned. Fifty families

live stock were drowned. Nearly every
bridge in the La Crosse river valley is

Washington, June 1.'!. den. Otis re
ports that the Oregon regiment with
signal company left yesterday for
.San Francisco. Though (Jen. Otis' dis
patch stated that the Oregon troops
would leave for San Francisco, the war
department ollicials are of the opinion

made. With this idea Gen. Cprbin has
telegraphed Oen. Otis that the Oregon
troops are to go to Portland.
The Autumn Demand for Money.
Washington, Juno 13. Preparations
for meeting the autumn demand for
money havo been perfected at tho

A BILLION IN GOLD.
Director Roberts Say tlio United State
Has Hid Largest Stock of Yellow
Metal In tlm World.
Washington, June 11?. -Uncle Sam
lias sent $5,500,000 in gold to Europe
during the last ten days. During the
same period $750,000 came from France
and a similar amount from Australia,
making the net export 8 1,000,000. This
movement has started financiers to
speculating and prophesying, but re
ally Si, 000,000 is hardly more than pock
et money for Uncle Sam. The govern
ment oliicials who keen tab on his
finances say this is naturally the sea
son for sending yellow metal to Eu
rope to settle for sugar, silks, wines
and a thousand other good things
Uncle Sam's nephews and nieces
have enjoyed during the preced
ing year. The serenity of Wash
ington ollicials is based on some
thing more substantial than a phi
losophy born of precedents. They
find that the United States has the
largest stock of gold in the world.
They Ugure the supply of coin and
bullion at a round 81,000,000,000, and
say this is the first nation to reach
such a lofty pinnacle of wealth. George
E. Koberts, director of the mints, re
ports that on June 1 the gold coin in
the United States amounted to $803,
741,252, while the bullion in the na
tional treasuries aggregated $121,742,
352. This makes a total of 80S5.-I8 1,00 1,
and Mr. Koberts says there was un
doubtedly enough bullion in private
hands to bring the grand aggregate
above $1,000,000,000. Compare this
with the stock of $135,000,000 in 18711,
$352,000,000 in 1SS0, $01)5,000,000 in 1800,
$508,000,000 in 1803, and $000,000,000

Cleveland, O.. June 13. The attempt
of the 15ig Consolidated Railroad com
pany to move its cars was attended by
scenes of wild disorder in various parts
of the city, though nobody was hurt
and very little damage was done to
property. Cars were run on two lines
at very irregular intervals, but without
passengers, and mainly under tho pro
tection of policemen. The principal
work of the mobs, which were com
posed largely of idlers and spectators,
was to blockade the tracks, in which
they were materially assisted by ac
commodating drivers of trucks, cut
trolley ropes and jeer at the non
union men. Occasionally stale eggs and
pieces of mud were thrown, but no
body was hurt.

Manila, Juno 11. Terrlllo heat yesterday did
not permit troops to teach positions at hours
designated and enabled majority of Insurgents
to escape In scattered organizations south and
westward, which they effected during the even
ing and night. The movement was a great suc
cess, however. Tho enemy was disorganized
and routed, suffering heavy loss. Tho troops
rested to-day at Las l'inas and l'aratiutiuo. Tho
navy did excellent execution along tho shore of
tho bay, but many Insurgent detachments io
tlred in that direction and wore protected by
the presence of women and children, whom they
drove along with them. Our loss was four killed
and some !!i) wounded. Report of casualties
later. A conservative estimate of enemy's loss
