A Tucson (Ari.) dispatch reports: A band of Indians attacked Phillips' ranch, about three miles from Fort Bayai d, and killed old Mr. Phillips, his son Gen. Phillips, his wife, and two children, aged 3 and 5 years, and hanged the oldest girl on a meat-hook, which entered the back portion of her head, in which position she was found by a party of rescuing citizens. She died within a few hours. Those ' killed by the Apaches number now thirty-six men, women, and children. The following is sent from Silver City, N. M. : The Apaches are still making bloody trails through this section. It is now thought that three or fotir different bands are committing depredations and murders in as many sections of territory. The hostiles are thought to number about 300. Four chiefs are with them— Geronimo, Nana, Naetcha, and Chihuahua. This morning the live bodies of a Mexican family, consisting of a man, his wife, and three children, were found five miles from here. One other person is known to have been killed in the same vicinity. Numerous ranches on "Bear Creek were sacked, the horses stolen, and the cattle killed. The Indians approached within four miles of Fort Bayard. Three troops of cavalry are now In pursuit.

Touching the cause of the present outbreak, the following is telegraphed from Washington: From correspondence transmitted by the War Department to the Indian Bureau, it appears ■that the Apache Indian outbreak was caused by whisky. The Indians manufactured large quantities of “tiswin" and became intoxicated. Knowing that punishment would follow the infraction of the rules they abandoned the reservation and went on the war-path. Cbop prospects in the Northwest are improving. In Indiana and Wisconsin everything looks promising, though corn is somewhat backward Reports receivedin San Francisco place the shortage of this year’s wheat crop on the Pacific coast at 26,500,000 bushels as compared with 1884..,..'

straggling th secure the maniac, who himself received three shots in the buck which may prove fatal. 1 " • 1 “No Indian raid for the last ten years equaled the present outbreak for cruelty," says a dispatch from New Mexico. “All along the Gila River out from Silver City to a distance of seventy miles,, the bleaching remains of whole families hnve been found, which tell the tale of how outrageously the Apaches have broken Gen. Crook's poor peace policy. Men, women, and children have been butchered unmercifully. 'A gentleman from Silver Citv tells a heartrehding tale “of Apache inhumanity. He was one of a party of thirty-four citizens who went out the other day to protect their families, who were surrounded by Apaches on Bear Creek and along, the Gila. Before making twelve miles they had persons, two of whom were women. All the bodieswere hacked into unrecognizable shapes. The women had been outraged and their bodies pinned to the earth by wedges driven through them into the ground. One of the women had an iron rod completely driven up her body. The men suffered like fates, their bodies being mutilated terribly. This gentleman confirms the reported murder of Col. Phillips and The daughter was hung up alive by a meat-hook stuck in the back of her head. Mrs. Phillips’eyes are gouged out, her ears and breasts cut off, and her body otherwise brutally mangled. The bodies are heartrending and sickening sights.” A Santa Fe dispatch says that the total number of murders known to have been committed by the Indians reaches seventy-fivfe.

THE SOUTH.

The vicinity of Waco, Texas, has been overflowed by rains and- swept by a tornado. Eleven persons are known to have perished, and five others are reported drowned. The losses in McLennon County are estimated at $250,000. The Brazos River- rose two feet above high-water mark, pearly two thousand citizens fled from East Waco during the storm. Relief measures are being taken by the City Council. Locusts and cotton worms have made their appearance in northeastern parishes of Louisiana... .John Terry (colored) was hanged at Barnwell, S. C;, for the murder of Rev. John G. Sessions, a white Baptist minister. His last words were“ This ends my eareerer in the first trouble I have ever been in, and I warn all men of my. color, especially the young, to Jet whisky and bad white men a10ne.”.... Archie Gibson, a negro, was hanged at Richmond, I ort Bend •County, Texas, for the mUrder of his wife. About three thousand persons witnessed the execution.... Nearly six hundred indictments found against liqnor dealers at Wheeling, W. Va., were stolen from the office of the Clerk of the-Circuit Court The rain-storm that recently deluged a large section of Texas was one of the most terrific on record. At Waco,eleven and a quarter inches of water fell in five hours. In an incredibly brief space of time the Brazos River became a wild, raging flood, in many places five miles wide. Some idea of the wholesale destruction may be had when it is remembered that the Brazos' is the richest and most populous-farming country in Texas. There is a very heavy population of negroes, who all live in the bottoms, and the rapidity of the rise did not permit them to save anything but their lives. Avast destitution must be the result. The damage to the growing' crops on the Brazos, to say nothing of the shrinkage in real values, is beyond calculation, perhaps, reaching tobeyond $20,000,000.

WASHINGTON.

The regular weekly Cabinet session at Washihgton was devoted to the consideration of a proposition Iqoking to a continu-’ ance of the World's Fair at New Orleans.

The question of authorizing a continuance of the World’s Exposition at New Orleans was again considered. The result is shown in a telegram sent by the President io Senator Gibson, of which the following is a copy: “The question of reopening the Exposition has been considered by the Cabinet, and they are unanimously of opinion that there is no warrant of law for if,,and that it would be inexpedient on other grounds. ” Capt.

The Treasury officials are satisfied that the silver policy of the administration has done away with all cause for anxiety as to the ability of the Treasury to, meet all demands until Congress reassembles. The small loss of gold during the month renders it certain that the Treasuryewill not be compelled to borrow gold of the banks or to resort to any other of the many expedients which were thought of.

SUNK WITHOUT WARNING.

A Bark Kun Into and Sunk by an Ocean Steamer Hearty the Entire Crew Drowned. [New York telegram.! The City of Rome, of the Anchor Line, reached here to-day, haying oh board, besides her regular passengers, two, French fishermen, the only survivors of the crew of the French fishing bark George Jeanne, which Was sunk by .the City of Rome in a collision on the banks of Newfoundland on May 25. - The names Of" the rescued i men are Hubert Albert and Frank Alphonse Marie. The City of Rome left Liverpool on May 20, and sailed from Queenstown the following day. There were on board 821 passengers. The weather was fine until Monday, when, after a bright morning, a dense fog came on. At 4:30, -when the fog was thickest, the men forward saw the spars and masts of a bark appear in the west, barely twenty feet away. It was too late so stop the City of Rome. The signals to reverse the engines were given,but she struck the little bark arid her iron bow cut the George Jeanne with as little resistance as if she had been a cheese. A few spars floated on the sea and four mep could be seen struggling in the water. Life-buoys were thrown to them, and as soon as possible the steamer was stopped and backed to where the bark had been, and two boats were lowered. By this time one of the four fishermen had sunk, two were clinging to buoys, and a third floated alongside the steamer, supporting.himself by a A saloon passenger cried out, “I will give £IOO to anyone who will save that life. ’’ The man on the spar was doubled up, as though chilled by the icy water. He had to be rescued quickly or not at all. Several sailors prepared to jump over the side, but they were prevented by Fourth ►Officer Turner, who rigged a rope around his body and, taking another rope, had himself lowered to the man. Turner succeeded in getting the rope about the Frenchman’s arm and neck. Strong arms pulled him halfway up the side of the boat, v;he n the loop slipped over his head and he fell back into the water and sank out of sight; y This was the captain of the George Jeanne, Joseph Riondin. Meantime Albert and Marie were picked up by the boats.

MENNONITES DROWNED.

The Terrible Destruction Wrought by a Water Spout at Indianola, Nebraska. A Sad calamity is reportedfrorii Indijnola, Neb., by which three women and six children Jost their lives. All of them were Bohemians, and belonged to the religious sect called Mennonites. A dispatch from Indianola gives the following particulars of the disaster: A party of seventeen Bohemians, en route to Dundy Creek, camped in Richmond Canyon, half a mile from the Republican River, nine miles east of this place. At dark a heavy rain set in, and about 10 o’clock a waterspout burst a short distance above, flooding the heretofore dry canyon to a depth of fifteen feet. This came down the canyon, each wave rising a foot or two higher than its predecessor. The party was asleep in the wagons. The one nearest the bed of the stream was occupied by John Macek, his wife, and son; the center one by John Osmer, his wife, and four children, and three other children; and the third was occupied by Joseph Havelic, his wife, and three children. “ When the flood struck the wagons Havelic was the first to arouse. He jumped up. grasped the wagon tongue, and attempted to pull the wagon out of the water. Fresh waves struck it. wresting the tongue from his grasp and carrying the wagon out into the raging flood. Osmer had already jumped from his wagon and succeeded in getting his four ■ children to shore, but before he could return to the wagon it was carried down in the seething canyon. The first Macek knew of • the situation he was sailing down the stream. Seeing a tree just ahead, he bade his wife and son cling to him, and that he would try to catch the tree. He succeeded, but the sudden stop shook off his wife and son, and they went down in the flood. Macek climbed into the tree, from which he was rescued in the morning. But two of the eleven bodies missing had been found. In one of the wagons was a coffee-pot in which was $1,200. which was washed away and not recovered. There was no wind. The storm was accompanied with thunder and lightning. It was simply a sudden deluge of water, which, in the immediate vicinity where it fell, was ten feet deep, and, as it spread, covered the prairie to a depth bf three feet. Fourteen soldiers belonging to the United States Cavalry were drowned in the same canyon in 1871 from a similar cause.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.

The Commissioner of Agriculture Issues a Circular. [Washington telegram.] Commissioner Colman, being anxious to obtain all the facts possible pertaining to the dairy industry of the country, and particularly respecting the manufacture of articles designed for pure ‘butter, butterine, suine, petrola and the like compounds, has prepared a circular to manufacturers of dairy products. It is his wish to place before Congress and the country a complete statement of thefactoryprod.net of cheese and butter, as well as of their adulterated imitations, arid he suggests the propriety of making monthly records Of the work of each manufacturer, in order that returns may be obtained more readily for such time as may be deemed best to aggregate the result. October, he says,' being the month when cheesemaking declines, it may be decided to have ail the returns of butter ind cheese production terminate then, allowing six months for the dairy season. This would better determine the comparative production of one State with another, as in the summer months the conditions of food will be more uniform, the' cows con-' suming alike the natural grasses:

THE ELEMENTS.

A Large Area of Texas Visited by a Kain-Storm of Unusual Destructiveness. Many People Drowned, and Immense Damage Done to Crops and Other Property. . “F (Waco (Tex.) Special.] The violence of the late storms here are overshadowed by, the rain and tornado of last night. The rainfall did not cease until this morning. All Streams in and close to the suburbs of the city, the banks of which were dotted with hundreds of residences, overflowed and transformed their surroundings into a vast sea. The scenes of terror and confusion were heartrending. People flecbfor their lives from their homes in the . midst of the raging storm. Thomas Denninghoff, his wife, and three small children, remained in their | house, which was -washed away, and all were drowned. Howard Lewis, his wifq.'his sister, and three small children lost their lives in a similar manner. $ , Eleven persons are known to have perished and five others are unaccounted for, and reported to be drowned. The damage to property by the tornado was immense. The total damage in the city is estimated at $50,000. The Brazos River rose two feet above high-water mark. The finest cotton plantations in Texas are located along its banks, and were submerged. The losses in McLennon County will aggregate fully a quarter of a million dollars. The grain crop is destroyed—beaten to the earth by the wind and terrific rain. East Waco has been inundated since Sunday, and the scenes there last night and to-day were indescribable. Seeing that the waters of the Brazos River threatened them witn watery graves, the population—about -two—thousand persons—fledfrom their homes in the midst of the storm, aided in escaping by the light of. the vivid lightning and hundreds of lanterns. No lives are reported lost in that portion of the city. Relief measures have been organized for the suffering hundreds that are destitute and homeless. There were no trains on any of the roads to-day. Scores of bridges were swept away and the road-beds badly damaged by washouts. The highest point reached bythe Brazos River was thirty-two inches above the high-water mark of the great overflow of last year. The approaches to the suspension bridge on the east side of the river were demolished. The estimates/of the damage to property in and about Waco, do not include the damage to crops and farm property, which cannot now be estimated, but goOd judges place the damage to the"growing.crops at The storm was so terrific for three hours that it may be properly called a tornado, accompanied by rain. Ruin fell in blinding sheets, and was blown against the large buildings, producing a sound like the distant roar of Niagara. Everybody in the city was up all night. Many colored people thought a second deluge was upon them, and prepared themselves to *o by vigorously praying. At Iredell and Morgan, .in Bosque County, a number of residences were wrecked, but no fatalities are reported. Advices from Austin report that the Colorado River has overflown immense tracts ,of bottom lands planted in cotton and corn. The damage to these crops will be immense; Six small bridges on the International and Great Northern Railroad were swept away. All railroad embankments for nearly a hundred miles have been badly washed, rendering travel dangerous. Weatherford, Midlothian, Dublin, Marlin, and other points in the State report an immense rain-fall, accompanied by heavy wind, vivid lightning, and deafening thunder, All tell the same story of swollen streams, submerged farms and fields, and general havoc to the growing grain. Farmers are greatly dejected over the outlook. The rains cover a very targe wheat urea. Crops were doing finely before the rains, but the rust will now certainly set in on the wheat, arid the weeds will grow so rapidly that the yield of wheat will be reduced one-half.

THE CICLONE SEASON.

A Kansas Town Visited by a Funnel-Shaped Cloud, and the Citizens Save Themselves by Crawling Into Their Cyclone Holes. [Atchison (Kan.) special.] Particulars of the cyclone at Goffs, Kan., have reached here. The appearance of the storm, which approached from the southwest, was grand and awful, and the frightful roar of the whirling, lightningedged clouds was louder than the combined noise of a hundred guns. The path of the storm through the town did not exceed twenty or thirty rods in width, but within that space everything destructible is a wreck. Two persons were fatally and several seriously injured. One man was lifted up by the whirling wind, carried a distance of thirty yards, and deposited iu a door-yard. Flying timbers had broken both his legs, and when found he was insensible. The appearance of the town, after the storm had passed was desolate and forlorn beyond description. The panic-stricken citizens, many of whom had received slight injuries,, emerged from cellars and “cyclone holes,” into which they had plunged, and set about rescuing the wounded, and recovering property, which littered the ground-in every direction. Some strange phenomena were witnessed in connection with the storm. The curb of H. G. Pickett’s well was broken of close to the ground and the well itself stuffed full of chickens. A thick mist flying at an awful rate of speed seemed to precede- the cyclone, while during its prevalence wind, rain, hail,' thunder, and lightning blended into one awful and never-to-be-forgotten scene.
