Some Nations Dissatisfied.
Other Matters of Intrest
ished Business.
Unfin-
Washington, April 2. Open and
formal expressions of dissatisfaction
with the pending tariff bill on the
part of foreign nations have come to
the state department from Japan and
Argentine. Japan objects to the
silk schedule, and Argentine does not
like tbe proposed duty on hides.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
The senate committee on appropri
ations agreed to report the sundry
civil and Indian appropriation bills
especially as agreed to before the
abjournment of the last session of
congress. A few verbal changes were
found advisable and an important
change was made in the provision. In
regard to the opening of the Uncom
paghre Indian reservation In Utah.
This provision was presented as a
senate amendment at the last session,
and agreed to by the house. The
house struck it out when it passed the
bill at the beginning of the present
session. The senate committee again
recommends In the inclusion of tbe
provision but reduces the number of
claims of gilsonlte one person may
take, from four, as originally provided,
to two.
A change was made also in the pro
vision for the right of inheritance of
children born of white fathers and In
dian mothers, so as to provide that
the mother shall belong to her tribe
"by blood." The original provision
made it "by blood or desceut." The
bill probably will not be reported
until next week. The deliciency bill
was not considered.
CONFIRMATIONS.
The senate, In legislative session
confirmed Charlemagne Tower, of
Pennsylyania, to be minister to Aus-
tro-IIungary; William S. Halleberger
to be second assistant postmaster-general;
Alexander Montgomery Thack
ery, of Pennsylvania, to be consul at
Havre, France, and several positions
In the army, and the marine corps of
the Navy.
It is expected that the nomination
of a major-general to fill the vacancy
made by the retirement of General
Euger, will soon be sent to the senate.
Army officers are agreed in the belief
that the choice will fall upon General
Wheaton, and that Colonel Shatter,
of the First Infantry, will get the
brigadier-generalship, caused by Gen
eral Wheaton's promotion.

to the treaty In any form.
CUBAN MATTERS.

ognizing a state of war In Cuba and J
according bllllgcrcnt rights to the
Cubans. A resolution heretofore of
fered by Morgan calling for Informa
tion as to Gomez' letter to Presidents
McKlnley and Cleveland has been
adapted by the senate.
COPPER LEFT OUT.
Through an oversight during the
consideration of the Dlngley tariff
bill the house neglected to adopt the
amendments to put copper on the free
list prepared by the ways and means
committee. Cousequently there Is no
provision for copper In the bill. Not
having any special mention, copper
falls into the basket clause at 25 per
cnt ad yalorum.
In the original draft of tiie bill, the
McKinley rate of 1 cent per pound on
copper was retained. The subject
was brought to the attention of the
committee a second time, and as it
appeared no copper is Imported into
the United States and some is ex
ported, the committee saw no reason
why it should not ho Included in the
free list. A clause providing for it in
the metal schedule wasstricken out
by the home, bnt the amendment
putting it on the free list was not of
iereu.
Agreed to by All the Powers,
i
May Be Followed by a Greek Dec
laration of War.
London, April 2. The Times will
print today a dispatch from its Vienna
correspondent, which says:
A council of the admirals was held
yesterday (Thursday) to determine
whether and when the gulf of Athens
is to be blockaded. All the powers
have now consented to tin? proposition
though nothing has been decided as
to the blockade of other Greek ports.
It is no secret that King George
has formally stated to the powers
that a declaration of war against
Turkey will immediately follow an
extension of the blockade to the
Greek coast.
There is no doubt that in the event
of a Turko-Greek war, the interven
tion of the powers would be sus
pended. The Times will have, a dispatch
from Its Athens correspondent, which
says:
Whether in the eyentof war the
powers will abstain from a blockade
and leave the Greek ileet unfettered Is
debated with great interest. It Is said
that should war ensue, the powers
could not interfere with neutrals and
hinder the operations of the Greek
navy.
Thus, whatever happens, Greece
stands to win, at any rate not to lose.
These calculations would be com
pletely overthrown should the pow
ers compel the Greek fleet to remain
inactive, but this course, it is con
tended here, would be tantamount to
an offensive alliance with Turkey
against Greece.
A number of Italian volunteers
have arrived here from Crete, having
safely run the blockade. They say
there is no bread on the island, except
In the camp of Colonel, which is pro
vissloned for three months.

CLONES
At Star City and Chandler.
Swept Everything Clean Tearing
Trees up by the Roots.
Liitlk Rock, Ark., April 2. A
Gazette special from Star City, Lin
coln county, says About o'clock Wed
nesday afternoon the people were
aroused by the terrific roaring of a
full-fledged cyclone, and In less time
than it takes to tell it the terrible and
destructive cyclone was dealing devas
atlon to everything in its path, which
was from a quarter to half a mile in
width. It passed south of Star City
half mile. The cyclone seems to
have made a complete circle around
the town, nearly every house within
the small radius in every direction
being totally demolished while large
trees were uprooted and twisted into
fragments.
Tlio home of Recs Dunlap, a negro,
was destroyed, but the family es
caped serious injury. T. J. McFalJ
who lived a mile cast of Starr City,
had his dwelling and all outhouses
entirely destroyed, but his family es
caped. The next point heard from was on
Bayou Bartholomew, on John C. nen
drlck's plantation. His largo planta
tion is almost a total wreck. On this
place three persons are known to
have been killed outright, and a
large number aro reported seriously
wounded.
Never in the history of this section
has such a cyclone been know. It is
impossible to giyc anything like defi
nite account of the damage done.
News has Just reached here of the de
struction of several plantations along
Bayou Bartholomew, among them be
ing those of Alt. Coghill, W.C.Lee
and Judge Owens. The loss Is very
great at each of these places.
Chandler, O. T., April 2 Al
though the storm struck tho town
three days ago but very little search
of the ruins has yet been made, and it
is feared that the death roll may be
considerably augmented. Scores of
Injured are under the care of surgeons,
who haye come here from all parts of
Oklahoma. None of the wounded
have succumbed today, though many
suffered greatly, and some of them
cannot possibly recover. Nearly all
the men slept In the streets last night,
where fires were kept blazing. Women
were cared for In the houses wliidi
were not destroyed, or found shelter
in tents sent from burrounding towns.
Fifty special policemen effectually
protected the property of citizens.
One thousand people are homeless
and half a many are without a thing
In the world. Help on a lurge scale Is
needed.
DEATn LIST NOT SO LARGE.
Kanras City, Mo., April- 2. A
Journal special from Gutnrie, O, T.,
says! It developes that the loss of U.'s
in the Chandler cyclone has been
greatly overestimated, In the confu
sion and difficulty of getting news
out over the long diatance telephone,
the names become mixed and the list
of dead was made greater than It
really was. Only fourteen persons, It
Is now stated, are known to have met
death in Chandlor, and In addition to
these three were killed In the country
north of the town.
Fully 200 persons were injured,' fifty
or sixty of them being seriously hurt,
and four or five of these will surely
die.
Past the Dancer Line.
St, Paui,, April 2.. Tho Mississippi
has passed the danger line and is
still rising slowly. All residents of
tbe west side, east of Stato street,
haye been driven to higher ground.
The water is entering houses on the
west side of that street and several
hundred people will bo forced to move
if the water rises another six Inches,
Thoro aro many stories of suffering.

Upper Mississippi on a Boom
Passed the Danger Line.
Greenville, Miss., April 5. The
water continues tn fall, but not so
rapidly as during the hours following
the break in the levees. A train and
crew on the river side of the Division
Valley road, caught between Slopes'
landing and the Stokes crevasse, is
obliged to remain there. The water
Is over Mia track of the Leland branch
of the Valley road and trains aro
abandoned.
Oyer 10,000 people arc homeless in
the Hooded districts. Three hun
drcs towns and cities arc submerged
and desolation reigns over tills beau
tiful valley. A dismal waste of
waters covers the surrounding
ountry on every side of Greenville,
and the city is a desolato Island, con
nected with the outside world by a
mere thread of telegraph line running
cast. Railroad couunuqicatlon Is cut
oil north and south. Roscdale, Gun
nison, Bolivar, Iluntlngton, ana a
hundred other prospering towns
north of here, and Areola, Hollan-
dale Wayside, Swlftwater, Stonoville
and Lealand, south and west, to
gether with a score of smaller ham
lets, arc in the same condition as
Greenville.
Easing Off.
Memphis, Tenn., April 2. The
flood situation in the Mississippi delta
above Grecnylllc, is decidedly better,
as to the threatened loss of life and
further destruction of levees. A half
dozen crevasses on the Arkansas and
Mississippi shores, between Helena
and Greenville, have drawn an Im
mense volume of water out of the
main channel, which is spreading
over the lowlands, but net with that
degree of rapidity that cuts off escape
by the inhabitants of the low
countries. The river shows a decline
from a point below Helena to Waysido
crevasse. However, Helena, Arkansas
is not out of danger, for the waters
from tho St. Francis basin, In Arkan
sas, are still swelling tho channel of
the river from tho mouth of tho St.
Francis to a point south of Helena,
as no break occurs until Westover is
readied, ten miles below that city.
Tho worst at nelena will bo over by
Sunday.
Tho damage to tho farming country
In the delta cannot be exaggerated.
Five counties will be, for the most
part, under water for thirty days, and
the main line and branches of the
Yazoo and Misslssipnl Valley road
will have more than 100 miles of1
track inundated.
Probably twenty railroad stations
and small towns are flooded, among
them being Gunnison, Roscdale,
Perthshire, Terrry, Rlverton, Daho
mey. Storm, Benolt,-Bculah, Waysido
Longwood, Refuge, Swift Water and
Australia. The greatest danger is to
the south of Greenville, as the levees
from Waysido to tho mouth of tho
river must begin to feel the pressure
of tho movement of tho water back
into tthe channel from the delta
through tho White river country and
ths St. Francis basic.
Upper Mississippi.
Omaha, Neb., April 2. A Bee spe
cial from Sioux Falls, says: The big
Sioux river Is higher than over known,
and is still rising, Lake Lampestka,
where the river has its sourco, has
risen live feet and is still rising.
Cattlewood, South Dakota and the
lowlands are flooded. At Brookings
tho sumo condition exists,
At Egun the water Is rising rapidly
doing much damage. At Sioux Fall,
business along the river front has bceu
suspended. The tiottoms above tho
city area sea, and much fear Is ox
nressed as tho Hoods from tho north
are Htlll to come. Tho dumugc to tho
bridges, in Minnehaha county alone,

A special from Yankton says the
Jim river is 6tlll rising there, but no
great damage has been done,

The Fatal Doom ot Rivera
Weyler's Edict Orders Maceo's
Successor Into Eternity.
New York, April 2. A Havana
dispatch to tho World says:
General Rivera piobably will be shot
soon, as General We.vler has given
orders that he be tried by court-martial
and shot immediately. He may
be put to death on Saturday, in spite
of his wounds, or the Spanish may
cure him, ana then shoot him. 'I lie
certain execution of the brave,
wounded prboner of war excites In
dignation and disgust heie. No other
alleged civilized nation Is capable of
such an act.
Colonel Baccaloa, who tried to
carry off his wounded commander on
his back, although wounded htttm?ir,
will die with him. It is predicted
that these executions will provoke
General Gomez to shoot all Spanish
prisoners hereafter instead of releas
ing them.
The Cubans are not disheartened at
tho loss of General Rivera. They say
General Rololf is in Plnar del Rio,
and will become second In commaud
of the wholo army.
Insurgents in great numbers arc
coming from the east and concen
trating In Havana province. They
have plenty of ammunition and good
cavalry. A World Courier from Santa
Clara reports seeing one column 15C0
well mounted, well-armed lusurgents
passing west toward Matanzas. Tho
same courier says a very largo expedi
tion has landed near Rcmcdlob, and
that most of the nnm are for the
western proyinces. "
General Weyler remains in Clen
fuegus. He is better, but still sick,
and is doing nothing effective.
Permission asked by Mr. Marrlottt
