Dillon sat and con versed with the neneral in the drawing room for nearly an hour. The house was brilliantly lighted np in the evening and thousands of spectators passed through the street and stopped to gaze for a few moment at the house. Iirge and magnificent pres ents of flowers continued to pour in, while a continuous stream of telegraph boys were incessantly delivering messages from all over the country. CARD FROM New York, April DISASTROUS FLOODS IN TEXAS. Dallas, Teas, April 27. Repasts from the surrounding country are coming in, giv ing details of -reat destruction of property nd live atock by recent floods. Many hair bred ih escapes are recorded. At a point twelve miles north of Dallas thirty men, women and children surrounded by ra ing waters were forced to take refuge on roofs, whera they remained exposed, without food for ever thirty hours before they were res cued. At another point a family named Rankles, father, mother and tUroe children, were surrounded and compelled to take ref uge ob top of a rail pen, where they were discovered in a starving co.i iiliml and final ly reacued by a young farmer with a bath tub, all the boats having been washed down the Trinity. . Particulars are also received to-day of the drowning jn Saturday night iu White Rock Creek of C. F.

Panama, via Galveston, April 26 - All troops were withdrawn from this city last night. The consequences cannot be fore seen, but that there will be serious trouble on the arrival of Columbian troops is cer tain. General Aizpura has proposed to the commander of the United States forces here to withdraw his troops to the station of the Panama Riilroad C npany, General Aizpura guarenteeing security of the city. General Aizpura, however well disposed, will not be able to prevent destruction of property and life. Barricades are being erected on the streets and sandbag defences are being constructed on the balcony of the barracks. This shows that the insurgents are datermed to fight in the town. The native fee ing here is very strong. It is considered cruel for the United States forces to occupy the town arid then withdraw, leaving the people helpless and the city in control of the lawless mob. MEDIATION ACCEPTED. Paris, April 26 Le Paris says Germany has offered to mediate between England aud Piussia, and that the offer has beeri ac cepted. AUSTRIA WARNS THE PORTE.

McLeod, and have demanded of the government troops, but none are here ready. Some trouble is anticipated. News that Middleton has met his fate is hourly expected here by old timers. Times says editorially: "If Russia's pol icy is founded upon a belie! that England will submit to any exactions rather than rapture relations, Mr. Gladstone's speech must dispel the illusion. 1 he cheers with which the speech was received will be re echoed through the Sountry." FROM COLGARRT. Colgarry, April 27 A courier arrived ast night from the North, having made a frosed march. He reperts that Geuera!

Every ef fort is being made to render Colon habitable, immense orders for lumber, houses, etc., have gone forward to the United States. A large number of war vessels nf different na tions are in Aspinwall and Panama and with t leir men, combined with those already on shore,- can easily repress any effi rt to create any further disorder. Reports from Bnena Ventura, say that a mob seized a small steamer there. The mob pretends to obey the go- erument of Ntinez, with whom they have not been able to communicate for months. Defeated in the interior, they have been pillaging in Buena Ventura, ami if it were possible would come her. This 'city continues quiet, but many families are leaving for quieter viiliages iu the western departments of the state. The latest date from the scene of opera tions is the Barran yuilla, revolution try or- which states that the revolutionists have have captured Circa ta, pursuing the cavalry who held the town some miles and killing some of the peeple.

Vnssels re maining at Riga and other Russian ports on the Baltic are striving to complete their cargoes so as to be ready for immediate de parture. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. London, April 28 The Pest editorially says: 1 tie tact umi -ne war cre'ii. v ted on without any one venturing to re ply to Mr. Gladstone is unprecedented in this or any country. Mr. Gladstone's lan guage is too significant to require comment. The attack on Penjdeh must either be justi fied or atoned for." The telegraph cannot believe tht snch a spectacle decision of the house will be lost upon Russia. Such speeches as that deliv ered by Mr. Gladstone raise politics to a higher level. The News in ati editorial tins morning says that there is strong hope that matters have not reached war points in the negotia tions between England and Russia. WAR INEVITABLE. London. April 27 A dispatch from St. Petersburg to Renter's telegraph company n. , . -n 1 i : siys: War Detweeu ruis.ua ana iwigiauu us now regarded as inevitable. The czar leaves to-day for Moscow and from that his torie city will issue his manifesto or declura tion of war, if suo'.t an extreme measure should become necessary.

BISMARCK HELPING RUSSIA. It is asserted that re British government is in possession of information which proves bsyond a doubt that Prince Bismarck is urging Turkey to side with Russia, in the event of war between England and A POWERFUL SPEECH. In moving the vote of ciedit Mr. Glad stone said that the government con iders it necessary to have the entire resources of empire well in battel for use and application whenever they may be required. Events s nee the fall of Khartoum have shown tiiat El Mahdi's power has collapsed. Eng land's possession of Khartoum would not out a stop to the slave trade, and therefore It would be useless to shed blood and treas ure in the Soud.in. In regard to the alleged s nallness of the vote he reminded the houe tit it it is the largest that has been askid sinee the Crimean war, and it is also co in cident with the largest increases in the general and navy votes. Fnthermore he said the case relates primarily with India. In order to ally appreciate the amount en tailed it is requisite to know the extent of measures beii. taken in India. The case is not one of war, actually or perhaps proxi mate. He did not feel called on to define the decree of danger, but he would say in ri'gard to the sad contingency of an out break of war, or a rupture of relations with Russia that her majesty's government ha striven to conduct the controversy in such a way that if it unhappily ended in violent rupture they might at least be able to chal lenge the verdict of civilize ! mankind as to whether or not they had done all men could f'O; and had used every just and hon orable euort to prevent the plunging of two such countries into bloodshed and despair. Cheers. THE QUESTION SIMPLE. The miestion before the committee, he -L s.-'.id, Was siinpls and even narrow, although an important one. Negotiations continue but to give parliment partial information would mislead them. The government submitted its case upon facts with which the whole" world is acquainted . There ex ists abundent cause for war preperations which are being carried on. (Cheers.) The starting point was the obligation to the ameer, which should be fulti.led in no stiuted manner. (Loud cheers. ) MEDIATION NOT WANTED. The house of commons, without discuss ion, as suggested by Gladstone, voted the entire 35,000,001) asked by the government Mr. Edward Temperly, Courtry, radical member for Sunderland, asked whether the government would enkeavor to have the dispute with Russia referred for arhitramsnt to the United States of America, Glad stone answered: "The government are quite sensible of their heavy responisbility to maintain the honor and good faith ot the country on the one hand, and on the other to use every means consistent with honor to avoid war. I can give no more particular reply than this." The utterance was accep ted as significant and was received with cries of "Hear" "Hear." AS UNFAVORABLE RRPORT. Sir Edward Thornton, British minister at St. Petersburg, has reported officially re specting Russia's views bf the last request of England asking an explanation of the conduct of General Komarotf at Penjdeh March 30:h, in view of the report made by Sir Peter Lumsden, contradicting the Rus sian commander's story of the battle. Thornton reports unfavorably. WAR NOTES. London, April 27 A council will be held at Cornstadt soon to consider the defeus 8 of that point. It is reported to-day that the czar is going to Moscow.
