CONTINKNT AdAINST AMI5RIOA.
Slgnlllcmt rtterances of Former Ital
ian Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
LONDON, April 20,-The Spectator
dlsciLMses the "Continent ff America,"
taking na a text a portion of an Inter
view with Admiral Count Canevaro at
Toulon, which the Spectator believes
his not attracted the attention It de
serves. Admiral Canevaro in concluding his
utterances regarding the triple and dual
alliances having given Europe thirty
year of peace, said:
"This fact would perhaps lead Eu
ropean nations to consider the possi
bility and necessity of uniting agamst
America. Afrlc and Asia, as the fu
ture of clvlllxatton will require them
to do so."
The Spectator does not consider this
the rash outburst of the "man In the
street," for Admiral Canevaro has been,
Italian minister of foreign affairs.
"Hit utterances," the Spectator eay.,
"correspond exactly with that of Ooun
Ooluchonrskl (Austro-Hungarlan forelpf
minister) and with all the recent trend
of affairs. The annoyance of the con
tinent with America,' which Is very
deen Ih bused upon thrw reasons, the;
first being tin- dreii or rather the
conviction that competition with
America Is nearly ImormslbW;, her wealth
and energy bHng psi gwit, Jioth an:
employed, the conilnnt thinks, to mon
opolize (rile und so to control In the
end all the wealth of tho world, an Idea
not without advixMVs ?ven among our
selves." 'The tfpectator mentions the giant
trusts and protection and refers to the
Anieiirins as "not scrupling p, com
mence (iick and sever reprisal If the
Kuroeii government fence them off
with lurilTs."
' The se"ond reason," tl article says,
"Is that Amerloa Is sadly In the way
of Asia. Tht whole action of the Wash
ington government In the Chinese mud
dl points to th conclusion that al-lb-nigh
the Amcrb'ans t'sk the Philip
pines they are not willing to secure any
but native powers In control of the rich,
est countries of Asia."
The third reason Is America's atti
tude In South America. Sh- will neith
er take It nor let anybody els",
"The tola result is a blt(er dislike
of America, mlxi-d with dread. Our ob
ject Is only to awaken the American
from an Motion, to Induce them to In
rreas thi-lr ilt and to persuacle them
to think ste.nlily out what tlK-y are do
ing. They niuy rely upon It that the
corit'nent will !' nothing by want
of i.l, inning and that when the alliance
agMlnat America of which Admiral Can-evar-i
talks Is transmitted Into facts
It will ! full grown Bnd fully armed."

PITTSPiriiG, Apr. 20.-Thl city Is the
center of a widespread and dlsastfouj
storm. For a radius of 1J0 mlle in
western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio
and northern Virginia, rain or snow has
been falling almot without Intermis
sion for three days. Mountain etrea-ns
have become torrents, creeks are swol
len out of their banks and big rivers
are oceans of turbulent waters. The
flood records, It Is expected, will be
broken before the water subsides.
The financial loss cannot b estimat
ed. In addition to the hundreds of
thousand") and perhaps millions of dol
lars It will cost to put the large manu
facturing prints in commission again,
tens of thousands of skilled workmen
are thrown out of employment and lose
their wages Just at a time when all
the Iron and steel mills are rushed with
orders. Tonight thousands of people
are lying in the upper rooms of iheir
water-soaked houses, without heat,
light or food.
The railroad officials cannot estimate
the cost of repairs, but say It will
be heavier than ever before !n the his
tory of the railroads running to Pitts
burg. DEVASTATION ALONO OHIO.
CINCINNATI. April 20.-The peculiar
weather conditions during the week
have culminated In a rain and snow
storm of almost unprecedented dimen
sions so distributed that a flood of the
Ohio river Is Impending. It U too ear
ly to predict the extent of the coming
ilood, but all signs point to a stage of
water that must bring devastation of
the most serious nature all along the
Ohio river and its tributaries In Ohio.
West Virginia and Kentucky.
This condition Is something of a sur
prise at Cincinnati, because while there
has been rain almost every day In the
week It w as not heavy enough to create
apprehension. Put above Cincinnati, In
Kentucky and West Virginia, flood
rains were falling as early as Wednes
day, nnd over a vast extent of the Ohio
valley watershed it was continuous.
This heavy rain served to cause a rise
in the Ohio river. Until this morn
ing It w-as rising all the way from Pitts
burg to Louisville.
Following these rains came the tre
mendous snow fall of last night, which
reached from Canada to Atlanta, with
Its western border less than a hundred
miles from Cincinnati. By its mere
weight and by the force of the wind
In many places, there was almost a
complete paralysis of all the wires
across th; snow belt today.
From 12 to IS Inches of snow lies over
Eastern Ohio and over the greater part
of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky.
This Is supplemented by the heavy rain
In the head waters of the Ohio today.

DAMAGE TO CROPS.
LOUISVILLE. April 20. P.orlng
streams, accompanied by high winds
and heavy precipitation of rain and
snow, were the conditions today In
many of the states of the South. It Is
f.-ared that In some localities th! young
crops have liw-n stunted or killed by
the fnt or cold. At many points,
particularly In "as ern Kentucky, east
ern Tennessee and Vlrgtn'a. the tem
perature was lower than known In a
decade at this time of the year.
The coldest s-ctlon Is In the Plue
Grass district and around Lexington.
This is the best fruit-growing part of
the state and It Is feared that there
was damage by fifwt to not only the
fruit but to the vegetables and tobac
co crops.
TORNADO AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND. April 20. The terrific
storm of wind and snow which prevail
ed In this city and vicinity today was
one of the most disastrous to the tele
phone and telegraph service ever ex
perienced here. The wind reached a
velocity of more than sixty miles per
hour.
Many of the streets of the city were
strewn with broken poles and tangled
wires. Several persons were severely
shocked by coining In contact with live
wires. Five or six horses were Instant
ly killed by stepping on wires concealed
under the snow.

l tie Colombia Statement
of Biak'f Condition.
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 20.-This.
city was thrown Into a fever of excite
ment this morning by the report that '
the First National Bank had failed.
The first Intimation of the occurrence
was the appearance of the following
notice on the front door of the bank
at the beginning of banking hours:
"This bank Is closed and In the hands
of the comptroller of the currency,"
signed, "J. W. Maxwell, Bank Exam
iner." . .
Nothing could be learned today rela
tive to the financial condition of the
concern as Bank Examiner Maxwell
was not prepared to give out any state
ment. The heavy depositors in the
bank are generally of the opinion that
the failure was due to bad Investments
made by the officials of the bank dur
ing the past ten yearn and carried alone '
as assets until discovered by the bank
examiners.
Charles Brown, the president, and E. ,
L. Canby, the cashier, have both dls
aoteared and their present whereabout "
are unknown. The failure Is a heavy
blow to the town. There Is scarcely &
man of property In' the city who Is not ,
affected directly or Indirectly.
The bank was established In 1SS3. It
was a profitable Institution many years,
paying big dividends 'to the stdckhol-'
ders. E. L. Canby has been the cashier .
since Its organisation., ,
- Among the heaviest losers are the foU
