Special te the State Camden, March 29.?A severe \eind storm., accompanied by a heavy rain and some hail, nasspd over Camden yesterday afternoon, coming from the west. The roofs of several small buildings were blown off. The front of the brick store occupied by O. L. Kirk ley was so badly cracked thatfthere is danger of its falling. Owing to the fact that the trees are now leafless very few were' blown down. The storm proper lasted from 5 o'clock to 5.20. If jt were not for the fact that Camden is well protected by hills, which ' break tho force of the wind, yesterday's storm would have done a great deal of damage. OAISTORZA. Bmti tu /* Tl?

More than $800,000,000 of this debt is the result of the expenses of the Civil w^r, $260,000,000 represents bonds issued by the Cleveland administration, and less than $200,000,000 went to pay the expenses of the war with ?pain. Our national debt if -a mere nothing when compared with those under which the large t&Kuropean nations are staggering; f Swe can easily pay off ours in a few years, but nobody expects Wfr 1 those of European nations ever to be paid off.

The bom bardment has continued intermit tently for eight days. Several villages have been burned, and th.^re have been a number of casualties among the American and British sailors and marines.

The upshot was a resolution to dismiss the provisional government and Admiral Kautz issued a proclama tion calling upon Mataafa and his chiefs to return to their homes. Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the the town he had made his headquarters, and went into the interior. Ilerr Hose, the German consul at Apia, issued a proclamation supplementing the one he had issued several weeks before, up holding the provisional govern nient. As a result of this the Mataaians assembled in large force and hemmed in the town. The British crusier Ilovalist brought the Malietoa prisoners from the islands to which thev had been transferred by the pro visional government.
