ZAN'ZIHAU , Oct. 2 An Incident of-
Bre.at political Importance occurred here , ic-
sultliig-
in decidedly strained relations be-
tween¬
the Ilrltlsh and German officialsashore nnd which may lead to Internationalcomplications ot a ccrlous nature.
After tlio bombardment of the palace of
Zanzibar by the Hrltlsh gunboats Sparrow ,
Thrush nnd Ilaccoon , Seyld Khalld , who hadproclaimed hlmeelf sultan on Annual 25 ,
uflcr the sudden death of Seyld Hammed HlnTwain bin Said , sought refuge at the Germanconsulate. A demand was made by theIlrlllsh authorities for his surrender , but theGerman consul , acting upon Instructionsreceived from his government , refused to
place the fURltlva In the hands of the DrltlihThis caused considerable tnitatlon and 1ms
been the causeof considerable diplomaticcorrespondence between the governments oJ
Great llrltaln nnd Germany.The situation took a new turn today. An
unusually high tide prevailed , nnd while itwas touching the wall ot the German con-
milatc.-
. Khnlld was placed under escort of an-
nrmc l guard of Bailers on the German warBlilp Sea Adlcr for conveyance , It Is believed ,
to one ot the German colonies.The Hiltlsh consul hero , Mr. Uasll Cave ,
In charge of the DrltlRh agency In the ab.-
Bcnce
.of A. H. Hardlnge , the Urltlsh agent
nnd consul general who has been to Eng-land
-to consult with the homo government
regarding the administration ot Zanzibar ,
was not notlllcd of the removal of Khalld-to the German war ship until nftcr theusurper was safely upon board of the SeaAdlor. Hut BO soon as ho became aw arc ofthe action ot the German authorities Mr.Cave lodged a vigorous protest nt the Ger-
man¬
consulate against the embarkation of-
Khalld , especially pointing out that the quos-tlon
-
of his sui render to the Hrltlsh author-ities
¬
w-is still under discussion by the gov-
ernments¬
ot Gicat IJrltaln and Geimany.Later Mr. Cave cabled a report ot the cir-
cumstances¬
to his government and Is nowawaiting Ins'i notions from London.
Viewed In the most conservative light , theIncident In .egarded as being an act of-
Btudlrd discourtesy upon the part of theGerman representatives toward the repre-sentatives
¬
of Great Ilrltnln and It can hardlyfall to call for serious diplomatic repre ¬
sentations.t-

General Arelas and his staff , halfolnd rushed from their headquarters andtried to rally the Spanish troops , who wcro-patilestrlrkcn by the attack , It was abouthalf an hour before even a semblance oforder could bo restored to the Spanish col-
umn¬
nnd during that time the troops re-
mained¬
huddled together , an easy mark forInsurgent bullets. It was during this tlmothat so many Spaniards were killed. TheInsurgenU hnd several dynamite guns andthey were used with terrible effect , theshell bursting among the Spaniards andstrlkltiK them down by the scores.

, Oct. 2. A special to the He-publican from Albuquerque , N. M , , says : A
message received here nt 8.15 p. m. , statedthat the cRstbound No. 2 passenger train ,
due hero at 8 45 from the west, was beingheld up at Itlo Puerco bridge , about thirtymllea from this city. As soon ns the trainpulled out ot the station , It was halted byE-
CV cral masked men and the express messen-
ger¬
commanded to open the doors ot hiscar. A general fusillade of shots kept thepassengers terrorized. Late accounts , al-
though
¬
meager , say that the messenger Is-
n locked In , but a number of shots havebeen fired lnto, the car. The Atlantic &
Pacific company will send n special trnlnwith officers to the scene at once. It Is
learned that Cado Sclvy , a special secretservice officer ot the railroad , Is on theheldup train. At 10.ID o'clock a messagewas received from lllo Puerco , stat-ing
¬
that OHO of the hold-ups
¬
, Cole Young , Is dead. When therobbers Jumped on the neglno and com-pelled
¬
nnginecr Hess and his firemen to un-
couple¬
the engine and express car from thetrain , Deputy United States Marshal Loomls ,
who was returning from the west , took In
the situation and fired at the first man ,
killing Young. The robbers then com-menced
¬
shooting and shot a lantern fromthe hand of n brakeman. Humors here arcthat several others are shot , but this Is notyet confiimed. Hlo Puerco Is only a water-Ing
-
station with a telegraph ofllco In chargeof the pumpman. The robbers , after cut-ting
¬
the engine and express car from thetrain , lan to the bridge , several hundredyards nway. The pumpman reports havingheard an explosion and believes the robberahave blown up the express car. nnginecrHess is oft the engine and guarded by arobber.-
A.
special received at midnight fromAlbuquerque , N. M. , says : The hcld-uppassenger train from the west Is Just In.
Conductor Sam Heady states that when thetrain reached the Hlo Puerco tank EngineerHess said that a pin In the engine was outof gear , but ho thought he could go up thedlvldc . The conductor thought not , andJust as the engineer was about to fix thepin three masked men jumped on the en-
gine¬
, when the shooting commenced. A
lantern was shot out ot the hand ot thebrakeman , after which the engineer was toldto uncouple the engine and the express carfrom the train , Deputy United StatesMarshal Loomls , uho has been , down InArizona on the trail of the southern NowMexico bandits , was on his return to thiscity , and he left the smoking car when thefirst shot was filed. Ho took deliberate aimat ono ot the robbers , shooting him throughthe head. The man ran for 100 yards anddropped dead. The other robbers retreatedto the Malpals , where their voices , callingfor their comrades , could bo heard. Con-
ductor¬
Heady states that Loomla remained at-
Hlo Puerco cxpcctliiE the robbeis to returnfor their dead companion , while Solvy metthe posse ot officers at the Atlantic & Pa-
cific¬
junction and returned with the party to-
Hlo Puerco. The holdup was a failure finan-cially
¬
, the robbers securing no money.-Looints
.
thinks that the holdups aio thesame gang that robbed the Separ postottlce-l( few weeks ago and have boon terrorizingsouthern New Mexico , and that Young wasthe leader.-

JACKSONVILLE , Fin. , Oct. 2. Communi-cation
¬
with the Interior Is restored and thenews of the destruction of life and propertyby Tuesday's hurricane becomes appalling.Hundreds of persons nro homeless nnd mustsuffer from hunger unless relict shnll bequickly furnished. Heports to the Citizenfrom seventy-six different towns , Includingall of thn Important points In Levy , Lafay-ette
¬
, Suwance , Columbia , Uradford andUalter counties, show that sixty-seven per-sons
¬
were killed and sixty-two InjuredThese are the known casualties. To thistotal a considerable number must bo addedto cover those not yet heard from. Theloss of life was greatest at Cedar Keys onthe Gulf of Mexico , where the hurricane en-
tered¬
the state. Over half of the knowndeaths occurred at that place The destruc-tion
¬
of valuable timber , turpentine tiees ,
faun crops , phosphate works nnd buildingsof every description In the counties men-tioned
¬
, forming a. belt across the stnte frombouthwest to northeast , will aggregate hun-dreds
¬
of thousands , It not millions ot del ¬
lars.Full nnd authentic advices from Cedar
Keys late tonight show the almost totaldestruction of the town and the loss of-
thirtynine lives This Is believed to In-
clude¬
the complete roll ot the dead. AtShell Mound , a great pleasure resort nearthe place , n party of five men , three womennnd three children were camping out. Somesurvcyois making their way homo after thestorm found eleven dead bodies strewn onthe shore , under logs and brushThey were v'ose together , which wouldIndicate that they were simultaneouslykilled by the tidal wave. Eight other bodieshave been found on the beach. Twentymore fishermen ore still to be heard from ,
all ot whom are probably dead. Duringthe hurricane at Cedar Keys the watercame up with the wind and down the prin-cipal
¬
streets rushed a mid torrent , uponwhich floated houses , boats and debris ofevery description. While the tempest wasIts height , the Bettcllnl house , the Schlcm-mer
-
house and John Sherlll's residence tookfire , nnd weie burned. The destruction ofproperty was very great , the loss beingestimated at 250000.
Following Is a dispatch sent outby the Citizen : "Tho reports thathave been sent out concerning losh-
of life at Cedar Keys nro grossly ex-
agceiated.-
. It Is so far positively knownthat twenty persons have been drowned Inthat vicinity. In addition to this It Isfeared the crews of numerous sponging ves-
sels¬
were lost during the gale , but as com-
munication¬

TOWN LAID DESOLATE.JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Oct. 2. Cedar
Kcvs Is a place of desolation and death-.Fortyeight
.
hours ago It was a thrivingtown of 1,500 Inhabitants. Today many ofthe people are corpses , scores of others areInjured , nnd there nre but few houses leftstanding Twenty corpses have been re-
covered¬
, but have not been Identified , so-
mutllnted were they by falling timbers.Many of the corpses were dug out of themud In which they were buried by themlgluy tidal wave that swept over the townTutsday morning.
The town Is situated nt the mouth of-
Suwaneo river on a number of small keysconnected by a number of bridges. It hadno protection and went to pieces vshcn theWest Indian hurricane , with a velocity ofeighty miles an hour , came roaring fromthe gulf. The storm struck the place nbout3:30: o'clock Tuesday morning nnd continuedfor Bevrral hours. Though warning hadbeen given , nothing indicated a blow ofunusual severity. Up to 11 o'clock thenight was calm and quiet. At that houra moderate breeze sprang up from the east ¬
ward. Increasing gradually until a thirty-mile wind was blowing. About 4 a. in. Itblew a perfect tornado and (suddenly changedto the southeast , bilnglng a perfect delugeof water , the tide rising two feet higherthan the memorable gale of 1S94 , which atthat tlmo was Bald to bo the worst stormon record. At 7 o'clock an Immense tidalwave came In fiom the south , carrying de-
struction¬
with It. Iloats , wharves and smallhouses wcro hurled upon the shore andbioken Into fragments , covering the streetswith wreckage and icnderlng them almostImpassable , While the torrent of waterwas rushing through every open space Itwould take the strongest man off his feetIt was this tidal wave tlmt causeil the prin-cipal

loss of life , many houses beingbwcpt away from their foundations and theInmaUb drowned
Of the twenty bodies recovered twelve nrewhites and eight colored Of the whitessix belonged to the Whltehon family , mother ,

. She reports that at dark Monday-night nearly 100 vessels weio anchored onthe Hpongo bar below Cedar Keys , and thatnil these but about twenty were lost. Theseboats carried from four to ten men each ,
and the loss of life was great The schoonerHoaallo was sunk and eight of her crewdrowned.
