Mrs. Joint Woods and two children, Steelville. Mrs, James Taff and three children, Steelville. Mrs. William Lesotteh, Steelville. Luther Slouch, Steelville. Negro, unknown. Midland. As noon us the news was received a rt lief party started for the stricken I town. Tlie town was in ruins. I'ew ] buildings were left standing, and groans of anguish were heard on ull sides as searchers sought for loved ones among the debris. The waterspout j occurred outside the town, but swelled Yadkin creek, which came down in a mighty and destructive flood, sweeping all lieforo it. I p to last evening thir teen bodies had lieen recovered, but it is thought more have perished. Steelville wits a town of 1.000 inhab itants, situated on the Salem branch of the ’Frisco railroad, and is tlie county seat of Crawford county.

Micron* Santiago, July s. — One secret of the detenuination of tlie Spanish soldiery in Santiago to light to death was tlie belief which prevailed generally among them that prisoners : taken by tlie Americans would lie put . to tlie sword. it is known that, after the full of Mi ! «•.. • 1. • .1 k.*_1. . . I -U . . who escaped along tlie foothills j marched directly into tieneral (Jarcia’s j men. [Misted to the north of Santiago. They fought desperately, but were I shown no mercy by the Cubans, and were muchcted to tlie last man. tiou eral Delrine, who was in command, was brutally mutilated. Tlie knowl edge of the massacre found its way into Santiago and prompted tin; Span ish resolution to die rather than sur render. After the fall of F.l Caney, tiie Cu- j bans sacked the town, information i of tiie two outrages was promptly Rent, to tieneral Shatter, who issued orders ! that any Cuban found rifling tlie bodies of tlie dead or wounded Span iards would Iks promptly dealt with. To prevent the possibility of Cubans plundering Santiago when it capit ulates, it lias been decided to forbid the ('ulians entering the town. Lieutenant Itrooke says that during the assault upon Santiago. 3,00:),0(H) rounds of ammunition were used. Of course, thousands of pounds were lost, and it can safely la: assumed that fully 3.000 shots were wasted to everyone that fairly found the mark. MURDER WAS DONE. Terrilile Stories of l.s Bourgogne Sur vivors- Yousouf t'se.l a Stiletto. Xkw Y ork. July 10.—A heavy train arrived at the ttrand Central station last night. In the coaches of this train were hil survivors of tiie wreck of tiie French line steamer La Hour gogne. From tlie testimony of three persons, Otto Zeiser, of New York; William A. Chard, of lialtiinore, and Charles Libra, chief cook of tlie Stafford hotel, I’hiladelphia, it appears that tlie fourth engineer of La liourgogne. who was saved, acted in tlie most brutal manner toward tlie passengers. The three men agree in the statement that, after the collision, when everyone was surrounding the boats, tlie engineer said: "Damn the passengers. Let them save themselves. We save ourselves first.’’ He alvi said that if lie had a revolver lie would shoot the passen ger*. The men spoke in great praise of the captain. That oflioer did not think that the collision was serious, and informed those of the saloon pas senger* who inquired that there was no danger. This is thought to he one reason that none out of the seventy live first class passengers was saved. On flic voyage l.ilira became ac quainted with Yousouf, the wrestler, who was a passenger. After the col lision, l.ilira says he saw Yousouf struggling in a crowd of drowning passengers, heating them off with a stiletto and shoving them aside and trying to reach a host. lie failed, however, ami went down.

Washington, duly to. —The belief tiiat a peace movement will lie inaug urated continue* strong, hut the definite announcement is made that no such movement has taken forma tion thus far. The state department authoritative ly stated to-day ttiat no peace over lures. direct or indirect, official or un official, had beef submitted to this government. At the same time similar statements came from authorized sources at the Itritish, French, (iermun and other embassies ami legations. It is stated broadly in these official quar ters that whatever may be ttie hope or expectation of Spain toward peace the matter thus far is confined entirely to the other side of tlie water and lias taken no form either before the author ities here, or before the foreign repre sentatives of these powers, which would lie most likely to speak in the event of u peace movement. MAn«in,.,luiy.lU--Aeeordin^, to the newspapers here the Spanish minister for foreign affairs. Duke Alinovovur de i.to. nu» ueciare i inai no ciuropeun power is disposed, to intervene in be half of peace unless the belligerents make n request to that effect. The ministers are divided in their opinions as to the advisability of im mediate negotiations for peace. The war party is inclined to adopt the view of Marshal Martinets f ampos. who considers that the army must tlrst, by a noble victory, wipe out the defeat of the navy. The peace party urges di rect negotiations with tlie I'nited States, rather than through power* whose selfishness has allowed Spain to he crushed by a strong enemy, and who may now intrigue for harder con ditions, desiring to profit by her dis memberment. The Liberal says the Spanish cabi net is considering the question of signing a ten clays' armistice in order to facilitate the peace negotiations. Senor Sagasta, however, declared after the cabinet meeting that the ru mors of an armistice were without foundation, adding that the govern ment is only discussing the ineuus of prosecuting the war. It is rumored here that the Spanisli government lias received a dispatch from Captain General lllaneo, announc ing that Hear Admiral {Sampson lias sent him a telegraphic dispatch, sum moning the Spanish commander to order the evacuation of Cuba witiiin forty-eight hours, and announcing that, otherwise tlie Americans will bombard all the forts in Cuba.

HOW CONGRESS ADJOURNED. Itormjr Some* In the lfon*e Follmvetl bjr h Patriotic Drmonatratlon. Washington, July 10.—The on<l of ;his session of Congress in the House ivus marked by two notable incidents, due was sensationally partisan, well nigh resulting in personal conflicts on the floor of the House, over a question A veracity, in which the 'ie was passed between Cannon and llall, and the lat ter daring the former “to oomo out dde." Members nterfered and no blood was shed. The other was nota bly patriotic, and swept away all dgns of the former. In the former Mr. Ray. Republican, >f New York: .Mr. Handy, Democrat, A Dclu ware: Mr. Cannon. Republican. >f Illinois, and Mr. llall, Democrat, of Te.\as, were the principal participants. In the latter, all members joined, irrespective of party uthliations. After tin" rather stormy session of two hours, the House, when adjourn ment was announc 'd, joined in cheers hir the President and war heroes and the singing of patriotic songs, making perhaps the most notable ending to a icssion since the civil war. The only measure of importance passed was a bill to reimburse states For expense incurred in aiding the jrgHDi/.atiou of the volunteer tinny. Tlie scene was a marked transition from the many partisan demonstra tions which had liecn witnessed such a short time before. Democrats and Republicans were now singing in ac cord a national unthein. When the song ceased, some member propose*! three cheers for the nation's President ind the rour of sound that followed name from a united House. “The North, South, Hast and West, n united country,” was proposed, and then, in turn, came the heroes of the war. Dewey. Schley, Hobson, Samp son, and finally former Representative tieneral Joseph Wheeler, who is now dinging, though ill, to his command in front of Santiago, was named, and the Iiul 1 resounded with cheers of thrilling strength. Then the singing proceeded. Meantime. Nergeunt-at-arins Bussell had brought in :.’(Kt small American (lugs and every member was now wav ing one, “The Star Spangled Banner'’ was sung while flags waved and the gal leries cheered. I.aterfollowed "Yankee Doodle" Mild “Dixie.” the latter, per haps, for the first time in tlie House by members. Cheers for the speaker were given. Tlie patriotic demonstration contin ued a half hour, and then the members began leaving, saying farewell to col leagues. “Home, Sweet Home,” and “Aultl Dang Syun” supplanted the patriotic airs, and impressed more strongly upon the hearers that another session was ended. Clerk -McDowell, when the singing ceased, mounted the clerk’s stand and announced that Mr. Allen of Missis sippi hail opened a recruiting office in the ways and means committee room, and a few minutes later Mr. Allen (popularly known as “Private John”) arose and said: “The congressional rough riders w ill report to me in the committee room and enlist for Cuba.” The announcement wbr suggestive of his speech, delivered a number of days ago. in which lie proposed that a com pany of congressmen be recruited.
