Stilt the- Rtrer Blsea and the
Waters Spread.
Mkmphib, March 19. Sensational ru
mors are afloat today as to the breaking
' of levees above and below the city, cans
ing eeriona damage to property and
- atock. So far these reports have not
been verified in 'full, bat sufficient is
known to warrant the the statement that
before nightfall an additional 200 square
miles of territory will be submerged
In the territory covered by life steam
ers appalling facts came to light this
morninz. Drownings of negroes are
officially reported nntil the number now
reaches almost half a hundred.
The relief committee thus far has am
nle funds to feed and clothe all the
afflicted in the city. Telegrams from
points 65 miles south of this place aBk
for steamers to rescue tbe people left by
the last trip of the boats. Two steamers
were despatched east and west, and are
expected to return at midnight with
several hundred persons.
A dispatch from Washington author
ized government engineers to .lend men
to further the protection of life and prop
erty. The river is still rising.
A family of six found a watery grave
by tbe capsizing of a dugout while mak
intr for hieh land today. Two were in

, A Levee Breaks in Missoarl.
St. Louis. March 19 The levee on
the Mississippi, fifty miles below Caru
tbersville, Mo., in the extreme south
eastern part, is reported broken and
seventeen lives are reported lost. Ef
forts are being made to verify the story
The river continues to rise at Caruthers-
ville, and the pressure on the levee is
great. All the weak spots ' are being
strengthened, but the work is handi
- capped by rain. - Many families living
on the river bank have abandoned their
homes and taken refuge at Caruthers-
ville. A large amount of stock has been
, lost on tbe Tennessee side of. tbe river,
the entire bottom for miles being inun
dated.
The levee near Cottonwood, about
. eight miles from Carutbersville, is ex
pected to break and overthrow that part
of the country.
No Belief In Sight.
Washington. March 19. The heavy
rains of tbe past forty-eight Hours in
central valleys will cause a continued
rise of the Cumberland, Tennessee,
Lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers and in
tensity the threatened flood conditions
previously announced.
It is probable the floods in the Lower
Mississippi valley during the next ten
days or two weeks will in many places
equal or exceed any previous year.
Additional warning is given residents
in the threatened districts of Louisiana,
. Arkansas and West Mississippi to re
move from the region of danger.
Situation in Iowa.
Sioux City, la., March 19. Every
stream in this locality is out of its banks
' and the situation is hourly growing
more serious. Leeds, Springdale and
Lynn, Sioux City suburbs, are flooded,
and the bottoms in tbe city under water.
Every bridge from Lamars to Sioux City
is out.
The Big Sioux is on a rampage. Its
waters are reported five feet deep in Ha
warden street. It is said tbe Northwest
era has ' lost every bridge between
Huron and Hawarden. Tbe Milwaukee
bridge here across tbe Floyd' will go
soon.
The Missouri river is reported break
and and gorging near Onawa, but no
change is yet observable here, "Trains

Latest ''Confession" of Pearl Bryan's
Murderers.
Cincinnati, March 19. Both the En

today confessions by Scott Jackson and
Alonzo Walling, signed respectively by
their authors. ..
Jackson lays the blame of the con-

letter to eive her relief from discrrace for
his sake. He engaged Walling to find

4HLtt taslr. On WaHnonlaQ Jannamr
'29th, Walling told him he sent Miss
Bryan to a doctor. '
On Thursday Walling received word
to go oat to Dr. 'Wagner's at Bellevue,
Kj., sear Newport. He and Walling
both went out. They arranged to be
there again Friday night, January 31st.
, They both went; Wagner sent Jackson
to Fort Meyer's drug store for ergot and
he obtained it. .
When he returned all were excited,
the girl unconscious, and it was deter
mined to taxe ner away. . wagner ob
tained a wagon, the body was put into
it and all three got in the wagon, Wag
ner driving. On the Alexandria pike
they stopped and carried the body to
where it was afterwards found.
. Wazner tboueht the girl was dead
and told Jackson to hold her, head.
Wagner then severed the head from the
body and wrapped it up in the girl's
cloak. , Walling carried tbe cloak to the
wagon. Jackson says when he let go of
the Jbody the bead was at the top of tbe
bank, but fell forward..
Wagner . let them oat at Newport
bridge. He and Walling went to Cin
cinnati and parted, Walling .going to
Hender's hotel and Jackson to his room
with tbe girl's sachel, which contained
the clothing which he threw into the
river. The blood inside the valise came
from a sack worn by tbe girl, which
was put in it. Wagner took the head
with him.
Alonzo Walling's statement is that
Jackson solicited him to help the girl
out of her trouble into which She had
been brought by Will Wood. He agreed
to find some one who would perform
the abortion. On January 27th he wrote
to one of his friends, May Smith,
asking her for such information. On
January 28th he received a letter from
her, advising him to see Dr. Wagner, of
Bellevue, saying she had written Wag
ner to call at the college. . On tbe same
day Wagner called, inquired .for Wall
ing, and agreed to perform the operation
and gave him bis address.
That afternoon Walling . met Pearl
Bryan at the corner of fourth and Kace
streets and directed her how to go to Dr,
Wagner. .The next day,. January 30th,
Wagner asked him by mail to. bring
Pearl's clothes , out to him, saying she
was under his care. He and Jackson
took the clothes, but did not go inside.
The next evening, Friday, January 31st,
he and Jackson went out to Wagner's.
Walling tells the same story as Jack'
son about Jackson's visit to the drug
store, Pearl Bryan's unconsciousness
and tbe trip to the country, ending with
the decapitation.
Dr. Wagner, who is implicated by
Jackson's and Waiting's confessions, for
merly lived at Nicholasville, Ky and is
a son-in-law of William Hendren,
wealthy farmer. Wagnei formerly was
minister of the Reformed church at
Sulphur Well.
About the middle of January, 1896,
Mrs. Wagner wrote her brother, Walter,
that her husband was losing his mind
and asked . him to come to Bellevue,
Hendren went and says that on the 23d
of January he took Wagner with him to
the house of , William Hendren, near
Nicholasville, where he remained until
February 3d. This corresponds with
tbe statement of tbe family when the
Bellevue clew was first sprang near the
time of the trial and which caused its
collapse at that time,

Distribution of Patronage Will Con.
tinue as of Yore.
Washington, March 20. Postmaster.
General Gary will continue the old
policy as to distributing patronage of
the postoffices and he announced to the
Associated Press today that he would
not deviate from the practice followed
by past administrations. This, as
general rule, gives to every senator the
privilege of recommending a postmaster
for his home ' postoffice, and allots to
each Republican senator the large post'
offices in' his district, which, however,
in the case of a senator not of the Re
publican faith, will go to the Republi
can committee or. other referee. With
these exceptions, the . Republican rep
resentatives are usually permitted to
name the postmasters for their respec
tive districts. In Democratic districts,
the selection is left to a referee, and per
haps to a Republican congressional dele
gation, who will have to keep them,
selves Dosted as to the dates of the ex
pi ration bf terms of postmasters, as the
old custom of the department of send'
ing notices to senators and represents
tives of expirations of postmasters'
commisssions, which was stopped by
Postmaster-General Bissell, will not be
resumed.
Come Homo Wealthy. -
Vinbland, JJ. J., March 19. Twenty
years ago Captain Moses Lucas went
away. He was not heard, from and it
was supposed he was dead. When he
went away he left behind a wife and
daughter. They have continued to work
the farm which gave them support. To
facilitate movements about the fields
and barnyard thev donned years ago a
more fitting style of dress for that work
than skirts. Since ' knickerbockers be
came fashionable thev bave modified
their drees to knickerbockers. '
Lucas suddenly . returned and in a
carriage was driven to the door. Mrs.
Lucas answered and in a minute she
and the stranger were clasped ' in each
other's arms, the man being her long
lost husband. Lucas is said to have be
come rich. -
Bow to Transfer Leaf Colors.
The - natural colors of a leaf may be
easily transferred . to paper. ' Take a
leaf of any tree or shrub, place over it
small piece of white linen soaked in
spirits of alter, and insert between tbe
leaves of a heavy book, with a sheet of
paper to receive the impression.'' Lay
tbe ' book aside for a few days. The
leaf will be found devoid of color, which
will have been transferred to tbe paper
in all the original beauty of tint and

EHFEBOft WILLIAM'S - MADNESS.
May Be
Compelled to Relinquish the
- Throne.: -'
London, March 20. A letter to the
Daily Mail reiterates the story of Em
peror William's insanity with startling
frankness, referring to his pinching his
guests and trying to trip them up with
his sword. The writer says the fact is
that there is now no doubt that the em
peror, if not specially sane, is subject t.o
fits of aberration, which, , while they
last, are indistinguishable from madness
His local derangement behind the ear
and almost in contact with the brain has
hitherto been kept in safe limits by a
treatment which provokes a constant
discharge. While the discbarge lasts
the pain is not very great, -and, tbe in-
flammation and swelling of the affected
parts being relieved, there is nothing in
tolerable or alarming. But it is getting
difficult to maintain the process, and
the result is a combination of painful
excitabiity,,depreseion and restlessness
which has brought the emperor to an
alarming condition.
Continuing, the writer . says no Hon
enzollern is allowed to ascend tbe throne
or keep it who is afflicted with an incur'
able disease, and, if so, no obvious mad'
ness can be tolerated . in the emperor,
The knowledge of this increasing disa
bility threatening the emperor doubtless
intensely, aggravates the symptoms of
his disease. It is said that should things
get but littte worse, Prince Henry of
Prussia, the emperor's brother, will be
proclaimed regent, with an advisory
couucil. ' .
PRINCESS DE CHIMAY.

Conclnded
to Go on the
Stage.
Njsw York, March .20. The World's
copyrighted cable letter from London
says:
Princess Clara de Chimay started for
Paris as soon as she received her March
allowance, and is busily occupied there
getting new clothes. Rigo is still with
her, and apparently holds her affeC'
tions. The princess is again an object
of great interest in Paris, according to
Edmund Leroy, of Le Journal. "In the
eyes of heaven," she protested to him,
"Rigo is my husband, because he is. tbe
choice of my heart. - If I cannot marry
him in France, I will in England, un
less his wife, that wretched woman,'

received so much money from as
The princess. received yesterday with
great cordiality the World correspond
ent. He found her and Rigo at the
Hotel Terminus, surrounded by a motley
crowd of gypsy musician's drinking
champagne and smoking expensive
cigars. Princess Clara was very angry
with her former husband, who had just
refused to let her bave a former pet dog,
a present from her brother, except upon
payment of 2,000 francs. Rigo recently
played at a Cretan "benefit concert, and
the princess has at last- consented to
appear on the stage at the winter gar
den of Berlin in April, receiving 46,600
a month, and at the Alhambra, of
London, in May, for which she will be
paid $8,000 and expenses.
Some manager, therefore, is likely to
have her in New York, although she
insists she is afraid of the American
public
CBICAGU WAS DARK-
Peculiar Phenomenon at the Windy
, City. .
Chicago, March 20. Rain clouds,
fogs, humidity and smoke mixed up yes
terday afternoan and sent a black shad
ow over the city.. Thousands of citizens
were startled and mystified by the sud
den transition from day to night, and
thought a cyclone was coming. In a
few minutes tbe sun shone again. Then
for four times like a succession of waves,
Jhe darkness swept over the city and lost
itself in tbe gray cloud that hang over
the lake. Each wave was less dense
than its predecessor, but each was still
dense enough to compel attention until
it had rolled its coarse and had vanish
ed. . .
Daring the first spell there were any
number of collisions between street cars
and other vehicles. Many 'persons were
caught in dangerous places in front of
vehicles, and tbe crossing police were in
a quandary oat of which they were only
rescued by the return of light. - When
traffic was resumed after tbe resumption
of daylight the street cars that came
from other division to the South Side
were equipped with headlights. Grip-
and motormen bad ' been compelled - to
feel their way along.
The harbor was one of the darkest
spots in tbe city. The wind, lifted up
and deposited an unusually large lot of
smoke and fog and clouds there,, and in
fact all along the lake shore.. On the
North Side women in their bomee were
seriouely firightened. So were the men,
tor some oi them climbed into their cy
clone cellars. ' '
Tbe first rumor that got abroad when
it was light enough to Hnd one's way
about, was that there had been a cy
clone in South Chicago, where havoc
had been played. But prompt inves
tigation showed this to be untrue, while
equally prompt reports came in from
other sections and many suburbs that
there had been darkness, but no dam
age. ... "- . . -.

dispatch to. the World from London
says: . .
The first reverberation of an Eng
lish gun fired against Grteae and it is
likely it will come would in all prob
ability topple over the Salisbury minis
try like a house of cards. All England
is .heartily ashamed of the government's
attitude toward Crete. This is becom
ing obvious daily, in spite of Lord
Salisbury's still intact majority in par
liament. The expressions of Mr. Glad
stone's letter to the Duke ' of West
minster ring through the land. Punch's
cartoon of a British sailor contemplat
ing a xurkisn janmssary threatening a
Greek soldier reflects tbe popular humor
here. It is labeled ; "Ah, that Greek
is a plucky little chap!' Sir John
Tenniel makes Jack Tar say : "Precious
sorry that we and my furrin mates have
to stop him."

CUBA WILL BE FREE
This Opinion is Now Gener
ally Preyalent in Havana.
NEARLY ALL SPANIARDS ADMIT IT
Spanlnh Residents Freely - Advocate
Selling; Cuba to the Insurgents
- Weylers Fruitless Policy
Condemned.
New Yobk, March 22. A World dis
patch from Havana says :
. Only a few of tbe more excitable Span
ish officers refuse to admit that Cuba is
lost to the crown. Resident Spaniards
confess they can see no other outcome.
In fact, evidences that Cuba may in the
end be freed by Spanish residents them
selves are many and strong, The calm
est minds predict the end of Spanish
rule within two years. Some say not
so soon ; others say within a year.
The proposition of Cisneros' and Go
mez, sent in writing to the New York
World, to buy the island, is growing in
popularity here. Its' warmest advocates
are Spanish and residents here, loyal to
tbe crewn. Tbey are the active finan
cial and business men of the island, the
owners of eight-tenths of its wealth and
its sources of wealth.
The Spanish element is condemning
with more and more emphasis the fruit
less, exhausting policy of Genera Wey
ler. They see his idea of pacification is
depopulation ; Lis plan for peace devas
tation. Farmers, laborers and all wealth
producing classes in the - country are
driven to their graves or to the rebel
ranks to destroy what remains. Wealth
already produced is given to flames.
They see that' Captain-General ' Weyler
is making no military progress; The
Cubans are being left more and more in
possession of the country. - Tbey fre
quently sack small towns close to Hava
na, They are in force in cities of the
fourth and third class once or twice a
month. - Such things grow, more com

Weyler An Obstructionist.;
Chicago, 'March 22. A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The Madrid government and Minister
de Lome are meeting the state depart
ment half wav in the liberation of Amer
icans under arrest in Cuba. General
Weyler, however, is acting tbe part of
an obstructionist, and this may cause
bis transfer to the Philippine islands,
This statement is made by an official
who 1s thoroughly familiar with the
negotiations with regard to the Ameri
cans in confinement. Only eight Ameri
cans are now within the walls of Spanish
jails in Cuba.
"Thess eight men," he continued
"will be freed within a short trme. You
will hear of the. liberation of two and
perhaps three during tbe present week.
"Were it not for . General Weyler,
there would be little doubt that we
would be able to secure a much more
rapid disposition of tbe cases. ; There is
some friction between ' tbe Madrid an
thorities and General Weyler in regard
to tbe matter, and it would not f be sur
prising to see . him transferred to the
Philippine islands. .
'Reports which have reached the state
department bear out the dispatches of
the last few days, showing the weakness
of the rebel forces in Cuba. Instead of
having two armies, such as. Maceo and
Gomez commanded a year ago," contin
ued the official, "the rebels are now
roaming about Cuba conducting a gue
nua wariare. . mere is no Danded re
sistance against the army of Spain
General Weyler has demonstrated that
he can march unmolested through tbe
provinces of Matanzas, Havana, Pinar
del Rio and others."

he is now out of danger. Word to this
effect was received today by telegraph

Constantinople, . March .22. The
opiaion prevails here that the blockade

thought the best means t accomplish
