. Wal.r. Arm U.ard from.
Kplnal, Knuioe, April 80. The lUt
uf fiiulitie. by the breukluguf the great
liuuzuy dyke iu the Eplual diatrict of
tlio V'jagua incruaaua every hour. One
hundred aud llftueu duatha have already
boon reported, but only fifty bodiea
have been reeovored. It is believed the
lint will be iu excess of these figures
when all tlio diatrieta have beuu heard
from. It is supposed mauy of the dead
were swept iuto isoluted places, where
they will be a long time before louud.
The whole region over whion thou
aanda of tons of water swept iu a roaiat'
less flood is atrewn with every sort of
wrocku.13. aud the whole country pre'
aeuta a moat desolate appearauce. In
uiauy plauea the early crops were swept
uleau out of the gniuud, and loaaea thua
incurred will be very heavy. . Hix brig
ndes of gendarmes have arrived and
huvebeeu dotal led to act aa guards.
Every attempt is being made to roor-
iraulze the tliatirct, but this is made
difficult by the waters. xneAviere,
a amitll atream, is now in some places
a mile and a half wide. The railway
iu the vicinity of the Duriuanlle sta
tion was toiu up, the railroad ties
swept away aud the enibankmeuts (le
atmyed. Neulry every bridge on the
Hue of the flood waa either awept away
or so badly damaged that they will
have to be rebuilt
The construction of the dyke was
oommenced in 1879 aud finished iu
1884. Iu 1880 it waa greatly strength
ened. It waa of heavy masonry, 660
yards long, 00 feet high and 06 feet
thick at the base, , The masonry waa
carried into the ground to a depth of 80
feet below the level of the valley into
which the reservoir discharged its wa
ter. It was built against a vertical
faoe of solid rock, having a maximum
height of 18 feet The base rested ou
a sandstone bottom of natural forma
tion. The massive construction of the
dam was considered to be a guarantee
that it would hold back any weight of
water that could be brought against it
Until the strengthening in 1889 it was
not subjected to a full pressure of water
which it was built to hold.
The distress among the dweuora of
the valley is great and in many cases
they appear to be mentally benumbed
by the calamity that has fallen to
them. : .
The government la fully awttke ' to
the disaster aud is doing everything
possible to relieve suffering. The min
isters of public works and interior are
now on their way here to assume charge
of the relief work. Three thousand
francs have already been received for
relief purposes aud the ministers will
bring 60,000 more from funds of their
departments and 1,000 contributed by
President Faure. Mitdamo Heine has
sent 30,000 franca which will be ap
plied to relieving the sufferers. The
prefect of the department has visited
all the districts affected by the disaster.
He has organized the employes on the
public roads, and aided by the military
will as soon as possible restore com
municaton. These and the soldiers
will also search for dead bodies and
bury all the dead animals they may
find. The municipal authorities are
working incessantly in distributing re
lief and seeking to bring order out of
he chaos prevailing.
Dob. Will luaue a Circular.
Terre Haute, Ind., April 29. Presi
dent Debs will issue a circular to the
local unions tomorrow in regard to the
work of reogranizution. He predicts
that by January 1, 1896, there will be
1,000 unions with a membership of
200,000. Fourteen organizers are at
work in the Northwest and on the Pa
ciflo coast, and the growth of the
American Railway Union is working
E.iHtwnrd rapidly.

Washington, April 27. Monsignore
Sporetti, of the papal legation, said to
a reporter tonight that he was author
ized to say, regarding reports more or
less widely circulated that Monsignore
Satolli, the papal legate, was about to
return to Rome, that they had no
foundation in fact He said:
"There is no intention on the part of
the legate to leave the United States.
Nor, so far as he knows, does the pope
intend to have him do so."

to accept a position in a theater. Sev
eral managers were after her, and the
bidding for her services was lively.
Considerably over $100 a week will be
paid Miss Addis. She has Lord Doug
lass' address in San Francisco, and will
probably meet him there.

Albany, N. Y.,April 27. Bill Cook,
the famous outlaw, arrived in this city
this aftenoon with twelve other famous
convicts, sent here from the West The
prisoners were taken to the penitentiary
in the prison van. They attracted a
great deal of attention aa they rode
through the streets to the prison, which
is situated in the extreme western sec
tion. They still wore their wild and
wooly Western costumes. The men
were chained together and guarded by
armed men.
No Red Tapo About Heath.
Vancouver, B. C, April 26. Con
siderable indignation is expressed here
over the death of Juan Alvarado, a
Chilian sailor. Chilian Consul Morris
applied for his admission into the city
hospital, but owing to red tape, ad
mission was refused, and the man died.
A coroner's jury rendered verdict
strongly censuring the authorities.
Imprl.oaed Without Trial.
Glasgow, April 87. A letter receiy.
ed from John Uosbnrg, a native of
Russia and a former resident of this
place, and an American citizen, says
he has been incarcerated in jail in
Pinsk, Russia, sine October, without
trial.
FOOD OF THE SAILORS.
Ilatatn.nt from th. Department to
What II la.
Washington, April 80. The officials
of the navy department are nettled by
the frequent severe criticisms upon the
insufficiency of the naval rations
which emanate from the Paciflo coast
ports. The secretary has no besitanoy
in ascribing them to the bum boat meu
and the koepers of shops patronized by
sailors, who have been deprived, of
handsome "pickings" from the sailors
by the enforcement of the order limit'
lug the number of rations in a mess
that may be ooihmutod or turned into
cash by the sailors and spent ashore.
The naval radon is fixed by an act of
congress and it Is not within the power
of any man, even of the secretary of the
navy, to ohange it, eithor by increase
or diminution. The naval officers assert
.1..... I. I. .U.. Ul..l t-.
ri. v; 1 'T'r - vrE -
ished to the sailors of the navafpow
era aud that a vast majority of the peo
ple of America are not as well supplied
with good, wholesome food as ire our
sailors. The rations as fixed by the law
Include the following staples, all, it is
said, in sufficient quantity for any per
son: -
Bread, flour, pork, beof, preserved
moat, beans, peas, rice, dried fruits,
butter, tomatoes, coffee, tea, ooooa, su
gar, pickles, molasses, vinegar, fresh
meat aud vegetables.
When within reach of a market, the
law is so construed as to permit a wide
range of foods under these general
heads. For instauce, the sailor may
have fresh, soft bread or biscuit under
the head of flour. He may have oorn,
meat, hominy, oatmeal, rye, - and
cracked wheat If he tires of beef and
pork, he may try mutton, veal and
poultry, or he may turn to canned corn
ed beef and mutton, ham, bacon, sau
sage and fish. Any kind of fresh vege
tables the market affords may go on
the mess tuble, and for desert he can
fall back on dried apples, poaches, rais
ins, currants, prunes, figs . and dates.
But the sailor who still haa an unrati
fied appetite may . indulge it, for ' in
every mess of twenty-four persons, six
rations more may be commuted each
day, including f 1.80, which may be
appliod to the purchase of luxuries.
No distinction in persons is made in
the issue of naval rations and the ad
miral oommaning the fleet receives the
same rations, no more nor less, as the
apprentice receives, and can receive
only the same commutation for each
ration. The food supplied the ship
from the market must be carefully in
spected when brought aboard the ship,
and to insure good quality, and good
oookery the captain tastes a sample of
each meat ooooked for the men. . no
one oan withhold the full ration from
a sailor, and he has simply to "go to
the mast" to have a complaint entered,
and if he persists, a board of three offl
cers must be appointed to inquire into
tmnd see that the tav'ioonipli9a

SAN FRANCISCO FINANCES.
No Honey to Heel the Kapeuaea of the
Next two Mouth..
San Francisco, April 80. The city
officials have not as yet been able to
solve the problem of how to tide over
the city's financial distress until the
beginning of the next fiscal year, June
While the mayor, tne supervisors
and the heads of departments were
wrestling with the subject yesterday
the supreme court was engaged in writ
ing a decision, affirming its former de
cisions that the expenses of one year
may not be paid out of the revenue of
another. In other words, the city can
uot mortgage its future, although the
expense of maintaining the fire depart
ment and pnblio institutions for the
remaining two months of the fiscal year
will be $125,000, to meet which there
is practically nothing in the treasury.
Taken with the refusal of contractors
to furnish supplies to the hospitals,
almshouses and county jails after April
80, this is the condition of affairs that
has caused the finanoe committee to do
a great deal of figuring to carry on the
functions of the government As tne
salary demands each month amount to
$185,000, it was proposed that the em
ployes of the city should forego the
drawing of salaries for April until May
29. Of oourse this plan does not meet
with the approval of the employes.
After much talking the official gather
ing adjourned without having accom
plished anything. '
Prominent People Arreated.
Guthrie, April 80. A big sensation
was caused here by the arrest late last
night of W. H. Thome, president of
the leading investment company, and
O. O. Seeley, a prominent contractor,
on the charge of murdering Frank
Ledgers, a young Englishman, whose
body was found in the river last Sep
tember, and the cause of whose death
remained a mystery -until- the English,
government sent a detective here a few
weeks ago.
Bcsidos these two men he has haa
arrested William Knowles, a police
man, and Frank Thorpe, a negro por
ter of a notorious resort, charged with
being implicated in the murder. His
watch and considerable loose change
was found in the man's pockets, which
allayed suspicion of robbery, but sev
eral thousand dollars Ledgers brought
from England were never found.
Thorne, whom he had known in Eng
land, it is alleged, wanted him out of
the way, to get his money.
Zella Ha. Sued George Gould.
New York, April 80. Miss Zella
Nicolas' has retained Alexander Simp
son, of Jersey city, to bring suit
against George J. Gould for malicious
prosecution. She will claim $50,000.
The papers in the suit were served on
Mr. Gould this morning as he alighted
from a Central railroad train at the
Commnnipaw ferry. He has ten days
in which to file his answer.

for Newfoundland.
St. John's, N. F., April 29. The
result of the confederation conference
participated in by the New Foundland
delegates, just returned from Ottawa,
so far as made publio yesterday, in
creased the general feeling of uncer
tainty here. Apparently the mass of
the people are opposed to union with
Canada, but there is a feeling that no
other oourse is open. The followers of
Premier Whlteway seem to be strain
ing every nerve to grapple with the
situation without submitting the ques
tion to a popular decision. The White
wayite organ, the Telegram, today
published a proposed government re
trenchment scheme providing for the
abolition of a lot of officers aud for re
duotion of salaries. It is estimated
that under the scheme an annual sav
ing of $300,00 should be effected. The
plan meets with some favor, but much
criticism is evoked because it was not
proposed before. The Whitewayites
also annouoe a revision of the tariff
during the coming session of the legis
lature. Members of the opposition
party in the legislature accuse them of
postponing the legislative session so as
to make it impossible for the people to
vote on confederation. A revolt among
the government supporters in the as
sembly would have taken place but for
the fact that most of the opposition
"confederates" would then have joined
the government and have decided the
question immediately. Reasoning peo
ple and the middle classes favor con'
federation, but the majority of the peo
ple show a disinclination toward its
adoption. One of the rumors is that
the government expects to secure a loan
of $2,000,000 in the United States.
THREATENED UPRISING.
Mexican Indiana Bald to Be Preparing
for the Warpath,
Nogales, Ariz., April 29. The Oasis
is in receipt of a special from Minas
PneBtas, Sonora, conveying the lutein
gence that there is danger of an upris
ing against the Mexican authorities by
the Yaqui Indians in the southeren
part of Sonora.
The Indians have given the Mexi
oan government a great deal of trou
ble, but have been quiet of lute. Many
of their warriors have gone- to work,
and are employed as laborers in the
mineB, on the railroads and elsewhere.
They make very faithful and effloient
workmen. It is now learned that these
men have been investing all their spare
cash in arms and ammunition of the
most approved patterns, which they
have been accumulating for many
months in the mountain fastnesses of
the tribe. It is believed that they are
nearly ready for an uprising, when
they will descend upon the settlements
along the Yaqui river, and repeat the
horrid butcheries that have several
rnresr previously been- the experience
of the settlers along that river.
The Change la the Comatook.
San Franoisco, April 29.' Mining
people in this city regard the ohange
in the control of the Comstock Tunnel
Company, as stated in the New York
dispatches, of great importance to the
Comstock and its surrounding interests.
Those who are in a position to know
say that those who have secured control
represent a vast amount of capital in
this country and in Europe, and that
there will be a complete reorganization
of the tunnel's affairs. The tunnel and
its branches will be in fint-class re
pair, and the endeavor of the company
will be to utilize all the resources of
the Comstock, especially its low-grade
ores, on up to date and scientific prin
ciples. If necessary to assist its pro
ject, the control of many of the mines
will be bought.

JAPAN IS NOT WORRIE
Says She Can Make No Con-
cessions to Russia.
WOULD OCCASION A REVOLUTION
Altitude of the Various European Pow
er, a Matter of Abaorblng later
a.t Jn.t Now.
St Petersburg, April 27. The Jap
anese government, replying to the note
of the Russian government, intimating
that there are various conditions in the
treaty of peace between China and Ja
pan that Russia cannot allow to be put
into executon, has informed Russia that
if Japan yielded to the exactions of
Russia, France and Germany, she would
expose herself to a revolution, as the
Japanese people are intoxicated with
the victories and would assent to no
concessions, in spite of this reply
Russia is determined to maintain her
demands.
Washington, April 27. Japanese
officials here question the correctness of
the St. Petersburg cable, giving Ja'
pan's answer to Russia. It is pointed
out that the Japanese government would
not make such a confession of weakness
as to say a revolution would occur. It
is also argued the answer lacks the dig'
nity that will characterize such answer
as Japan may make.
London, April 27. The Daily News'
orrespondent in Vienna states that
Russia asks Japan to evacuate Corea or
grant her an ioe-free harbor. Japan
disclaims the right to give away Coroau
territory, while the king of Corea says
his authority would suffer if such a
thing should be done. Tokio tele
grams received in Vienna lately, says
the correspondent, assert that when the
mikado and Chinese emperor meet the
king of Siam will also be present, and
a quadruple alliance of Japan, China,
Siam and Corea will be formed.
The Central News' corresponent in
Tokio says the Japanese goverment
watches with interest the course of the
European powers regarding the Si
monosaki treaty. He finds that the
Japanese diplomatists are not particu
larly apprehensive of the outcome. The
refusal of England to act in, concert
with Russia, Germany and France haa
encouraged the Japanese to believe that
no strong single policy can be agreed
on by the countries that feel their in
teres ts in the East are threatened by
the terms of the peace. Germany is
thought to be but half-hearted in her
oo-oporation with lnrauce ana Kussia,
if such co-operation has been assured.
Much confidence is felt in the assur
ances of good feeling given by Great
Britain and the United States.
The last dispatches front, 8t Peters-
burg are. hardly in harmony with, the
sanguine views held in ToftPrJSss,
Cohtomoky, who accompanied the pres
ent czar in his tour in tie East, has
written a long communication to the
Moscow Viedomosti, explaning the
throating features of the situation in
the Orient He declares that Russia's
intervention is inevitable. It would
be criminal neglect, he thinks, if Rus
sia were to allow Japan to menace Rus
sia's interests in East Asia, as is con
templated in the Simonosaki treaty.
He expresses the fear that bloodshed
will be necessary before Japan's ag
gressive spirit can be checked. He re
gards the Japanese as intoxicatea with
the completeness of their victory, and
determined to force upon the rest of
the world a policy which all nations
having great interests in feast Asia
must frustrate by peaceful means, if
possible, but otherwise by the sword.
In commenting upon these opinions,
the Viedomosti says that if England
persists in supporting Japan against
European powers Russia will retaliate
by opening the Pamir question.
The Central News' correspondent in
Rome says he hears from good author
ity that Austria and Italy have decided
not to interfere in the East, and will
not take part in any European congress
convoked to revise the terms of peace.
A VERDICT FOR HEATH.
Awarded Damage. Agalnat the Ban
Pranolaco Examiner.
San Franoisco, April 27. A jury in
the superior court has rendered a ver
dict awarding Richard S. Hoath $2,600
damages in a libel suit against the Ex
aminer. Richard S. Heath is the man
who was twice tried at Fresno for the
alleged murder of Louis MoWhirter at
that town two years ago, and in both
of which trials the jury disagreed.
Some months ago the Examiner pub
lished the statement that Heath was in
a barroom fight in one of the hotels in
this city. It appears that the paper
was in error, and it corrected the state
ment It was for the first publication
that Heath brought suit for libel,
claiming $10,000 damages. A stay of
proceedings has boen granted pending
an appeal.
Britain Ignore Balvadoran Interference
Paris, April 26. The Balvadoran
