A Cleveland, O,, dispatch says: With
tho breaking or tliiwn Sunday morning
Iho citizens (f Cleveland awoke to
look upon u scene of unparallcle do
vnstaUon nml destruction caused ly n
raging Hood. Whiles this entire 'city
was inure or loss effected, the great
volume of raging water vented its lin
ger over miles of the eastern portion
of tho elty and caused an amount of
damage approximately cstlmntod at
, 1,000,000.
Tho appalling overflow was caused
by a terrific rain that commenced to
fail hhortly after S o'eloek in the night,
turned Into a perfect cloudburst be
tween the hours of .'I and fl, and then
continued with great force. The storm,
according to the weather otllclnls, was
the heaviest that swept over Cleveland
sineo the establishment of the govern
ment weather bureau there over forty
yearn ago.
That uo lives were lost is scarcely
short of a miracle. The surging waters
spread over an area in the est end
.uearly.eight miles long and a mile and
n half wide. This extended from
Woo.lland Hiilsnveuuo to Hast Cleve
land and back to Fust Madison avenue.
Mmiy Unimex Undermined.
Great volumes of water poured over
row I)oaii and Oiddings brooks down
Quluoy street, swamped Vienna street,
ruslied over Cedar avenue, back to
Kast Prospect street, swept like a mill
race down Lincoln avenue to Kuclid
avenue and then on to Glen Park
placo, where houses were undermined
rut though built of straw and almost
incalculable damage ilonu to streets
and "property.
Over a largu share of this exclusive
residence territory the water rushed
with terrific force, varying in depth
fromormto six feet. Culverts, tres
tles and bridges wcro torn down nnd
for hours nothing seemed capable of
stemming the tide of destruction.
Hundreds of residents who were im
prisoned in their beautiful homes like
stranded islanders were almost panic
stricken, expecting to be called upon
to wade out into "the swirling waters
lit almost any minute. D.mgor signals
were flashed about the city as speedily
as tho disabled telephone system would
allow and tho rescue work commenced
How boats plied back and forth assist
ing whole families from perilous po
tations, but these proved pitifully
inadequate, ilnd it was soon found nec
essary to resort to the precaution of
calling on tho life-saving crew from
the river, a distance of seven miles.
The life-boats were quickly loaded
mi wagons and hurried to the scene of
destruction.
KIDNAPPERS DEMAND MONEY

Yearn.
According to reports received at Sa
Una, Kau., from several points in the
western part of the state more prniriu
chickens will bo found this year than
in any years past. Tills is the almost
universal opinion expressed by corre
spondents throughout the west. '
. Tho reason advanced in the majority
of instances flir the presence of tho
large number of chickens is that tho
extreme dry weather of tho present
summer ha,s In-cn conducive to tho
breeding of the birds. Hunting parties
arj quite frequent in tltat section.

Sir Thomas Lipton and his friends
watched the race with eagjr interest
from the bridge of the steam yacht
Krtn. Nothing noteworthy occurred
in tin; race until the second mark was
rounded by the boats, the Columbia
leading by a margin of four and one
halfiininutes. t Almost a -fiat calm pre
vailed for nearly twenty minutes. The
Constitution was showing marvelous
ability ai a drifter. The Columbia set
her spinakcr, but the wind hauling,
took it in again after a few moments.
The Constitution lowered her splnnker
pole, but did not set the sail. Under
her balloon jib top sail she crawled up
very slowly and passed the Columbia.
Thu wind came a little fresher and the
Constitution, increased her lead. It
freshened still more, when Columbia
lulled out and passed the Constitution
with singular rapidity and was a
.quarter of a mile in the lead when Ou

it has been accvtalucd that on Au
gust si, during Secretary Hay's recent,
visit to Washington, a telegraphic, mes
sage was sent to the ministers lit Car
acas and Itogota, directing them to in
form tin- foreign secretaries of Vene
zuela aud Colombia of thcillstress with
which tin- president had heard of tho
likelihood of a disturbance lietwi-en
those two republics.
Adverting to the responsibility of
the United' Stntcs being 'exerted to
compose tho pending questions, thu
ministers have directed to say that,
while the relations of this government
with both uallous aru equally intimate
ami friendly nnd every opportunity Is
taken to show thu good will wu bear
them, au offer of tin- president's kindly
otllces to arrange any differences which
tuny exist between Colombia and Ven
ezuela would bo Ineffective without the
acqulcsence of both. Nevertheless, In
spired by the sentiments which are
common to all the govern ments of the
American i-epu biles, the United States
would sincerely deplore a breach of the
amicable relations that at this time
happily exist between the sister na
tions of the western world, and would
especially regret any action by either
of them which might menace tho se
curity tif transit, across the isthmus of
the neutrality of its territory anil
thereby constrain the government, of
the United States to consider Its re
sponsibilities and functions under ex
isting treaty engagements with Colom
bia. Thu text of Mr Hay's telegram hns
not been made public. It is under
stood that au acknowledgment ot its
receipt has been mado by thu Venezue
lan government, but its purport, has
not been made known, although it is
said to lie friendly iu tone, and while
charging invasion by Colombian forces
on the Venezuelan border nml refer
ring to tho temporary suspension of
diplomatic Intercourse which lias oc
curred, the way appears to be open for
explanations. Venezuela has not de
clared war against Colombia. No ac
knowledgment lias been received from
Hogota, but this is supposed Io-Im; duo
to tho reported delays in telegraphic
communication bet weed Hogota and
end the coast stations.
Colombia, also, It in said, has made
response to tho notu of Secretary Hay.
While its contents aru not obtainable,
tho statement is made thnt it is concil
iatory in character and expresses an
earnest wish that war with Venezuela
may be avoided. Such a result, it is
stated, would lie a cause of genuine
regret to tin? people of Colombia. Col
