March 28 Consul Williams notified him that his release had been requested. April 23 he was carried to Havana and taken before a judge at 9 o'clock at night and informed that if he would sign a paper written in Spanish he would be released. He found that nothing taken from him was to be returned, so he refused. Consul Williams came down about 10 o'clock and his release was effected. Dygert says that during the time he was in prison he was confined in a room 16 by 18 feet. Thirtytwo other prisoners were in the same room.
The drinking water was awful and kept him sick a great deal of the time. Food was very scarce and of decided poor quality.
Dygert is a placer miner from Idaho and was simply out to see the south during the winter months when he could not work. After he arrived in this city he decided he would see something of tropics and concluded to go to Cuba and diu not care to experience the delay necessary to gat a passport. He will lay his ca.se before the state department at once and ask that action be taken as soon as possible in damages against the Spanish government.
Julius Trembly. Jesse Ham. Mrs. Halberson. The injured are: A daughter of Frank Peterson can not live.
Frank Wilkinson can not live. Entire family, of John Morris, badly mangled.
Six children of Eli Kalthazar, more or less injured. There are rumors of other deaths south and west of Clifton, and it is feared that when communication with the stricken town is established, that the loss of life will be shown to have been great. The wires to many points are down and but meagre details are obtainable. The pecuniary loss west of Clif ton at one point is estimated at $20,000, indicating that the total loss will be high.
Passengers 011 the Rock Island ^.raiii from the north yesterday evening brought partial details of the cyclone. It started about six miles south of Clifton and went in a northeasterly direction for 12 or 15 miles then lost its force by spreading. It passed about half way between Clifton and Morganville. Its track varied from 150 yards to a quarter of a mile in width. It tore through 11 farming community and left nothing .standing. Houses and barns were wrecked, trees torn up or broken, fences leveled and hay stacks blown in every direction. The cyclone was followed by a terrific rainstorm which lasted leveral hours, flooding the devastated district.
The victims were in their houses and the most of them had retired. The storm struck Peter Anderson's house at 9:30 o'clock. This was about a mile from the starting point. The house was demolished in an instant. Every member of the Anderson family was injured. When they had extricated themselves from the debris they discovered that Anderson's grandchild was missing. The dead body of the child was found yesterday morning in a ravine half a mile away.
Couriers were sent to Clifton and Morganville for doctors, but it was daylight before they arrived, and the extent of the injury and damages were not known. It was noon before all the victims had been found.
A large number of cattle and horses were killed and fruit in the storm's track was ruined. It is impossible at this time to estimate the damage to buildings and other property.
Telegraphic communication between Topeka and Clifton was cut off from the hoar of the storm until late last nigin. Ir. is believed much damage was done in t.l:.o vicinity of Palmer, Washington ("'inity, but the details' can not be learn--a. fit- in'i it

DY6ERT GETS BACK.
He Tells Something About Life in a Cuban Prison.
HIS TWO MONTHS' EXPERIENCE.
He', Had to Bribe a Guard to Let Our American Consul Know That He Was Imprisoned—The Whole Matter Will
Be Laid Before the State Department at Washington.. TAMPA, Fla., April 27.—W. G. Dygert of Greenwood, Ills., arrived here yesterday afternoon from Cuba, where lie has just been released from prison. He has been confined two months exactly. Dygert left Tampa Feb. 13, without getting a passport. He went into Havana 011 Feb. 23. He was arrested in the province of Havana and placed in prison at Guines. The only charge against liiru was that Spanish soldiers found an old Sharpe gun near the place where he was arrested. It was of very ancient make and no cartridges are now made to fit its very large caliber. He was given several so-called examinations.
Permission to write to friends or the United States consul was refused, but when he was searched the soldiers failed to discover several hundred dollars in money concealed on his person. Soon after his incarceration he bribed a guard to report his case to the American consul, paying $20, and $80 more to be 'paid on receipt of information that the case had been reported. On March 20 the guards handed him a piece of Spanish newspaper, from which he learned that the case had been reported.

GENERAL ARBITRATION PROPOSED.
A Way by Which the Venezuelan Question Can Be Settled. CHICAGO, April 27.—The Times-Her-ald's Washington special says: Lord Salisbury now has before him for his consideration an informal proposition from President Cleveland of a treaty of general arbitration of all matters in dispute between the United States and Great Britain, and of all disputes between either of these powers and any other power, in which the good offices of the other government have been tendered.
The meaning of this is that the president has offerred to the British premier a general scheme of arbitration designed to embace the Venezuelan question, but without reference thereto by name thus affording a method in which Lord Salisbury may easily reach a settlement of that vexing dispute without too directly humbling his pride. To this proposal, made some time ago, aftera series of fruitless negotiations along other lines, no reply has yet been received.
