CuiPi-EWA Falls, Wis., Dec. 3. With
the water again climbing, the outlook
for this threatened valley ia still rather
uncomfortable. For fifteen miles be
tween Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire,
and nearly the eame distance at Durand,
the river is massed with packed ice and
timber and ia hourly becoming worse.
The water has been backed up, flooding
part of Durand and the lower levels of
tbia city. Lumber mills are surrounded
and partially engulfed by the water,
which has frozen. Near by business
places and dwellings are in the same
predicament, although being a little far
ther away from the river channel, their
situation is not so serious.
The railroads are not suffering as
much as might be expected. The
Omaha runs along high bluffs, and has j
not been in the least hampered. The
Wisconsin Central tracks are covered
with water and its trains use the Omaha
tracks. Tht river branch of the Mil
waukee & St. Paul has stopped business
for the present.
Colonel W. A. Jones, of the United
States army of St. Paul, in charge of the
government works in this section, will
confer with the authorities in regard to
another attempt to break the ice dam
here. It is feared that a break in the
Little Falls dam, thirty miles above
hers, would carry nearly ' everything
away here. The people of Eau Claire
fear, the result if the ice gorge here
. breaks too suddenly, while those below
Durand are entertaining fear for the
outcome there.
Yesterday the water touched 24 feet 8
inches, the highest yet, and later
dropped a foot, but at 8 :30 o'clock "this
morning again had risen to the highest
figure, and was still rising slowly at 9
o'clock. Mayor Irvine drove down the
river to Gravel, six miles from here,
where an attempt will be made to break
the gorge. The people are still moving
from their houses today. Many offers
of relief have been received from various
quarters, and relief will be necessary
before the end of the trouble comes.
MASSACRED BY 8OMAC1S.
An Italian Consul and Officers Murdered
In Africa.
Zanzibar, Dec. 3. The massacre of
Senor Cechi, the Italian consul here,
the captains of the Italian warships Vol
turno and Stuffet, and about six other
Italian officers by Somalia, at Magadoxi
on the coast of - Somalland, East Afri
ca, occurred on November 28. The,
.party was accompanied by 70 Askaris
on a trip into the country outside of
Magadoxi, when Samolis attacked them,
killing all the whites and 30 of ' the
Askaris.
Rome, Dec. 2. Additional details . of
the massacre of Senor Cechi, the Italian
consul, and the Italian officers who
were with him at Magadoxi, Somaliland,
state that 14 Italians were killed. The
caravan waa attacked in the night by
Somalia. They were repulsed, but ral
lied and continually attacked the re
treating caravan. The - Italians ' and
their escort of Askaris fought desperate
ly, but were eventually overcome.
As soon as the news of the fighting
reached Magadoxi a detachment of sail
ors and a force of Askaris were sent to
the assistance of the caravan, but arrived
too late to save the Italians. The rescue

FLAG IN THE SULTAN'S DOMAIN.
Old

Turkish Soldiers.
New Yoek, Dec. 3. A letter from an
American missionary, for nearly twenty
yeara a resident of Constantinople, baa
been received by Rev. Dr. Strong, sec
retary of the American . Evangelical
League, which confirms the recent state
ment" of Rev. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin witb
relation to ' the status of Americans and
the American flag in Turkey, especially
witb regard to the occasion when the
flag was torn and trampled upon in an
Armenian village, The letter is dated
September 30th, and say a:
"The rascally police officer, Hassan
Chaousb, who tore down and tore up
our flag, was caught the Sunday follow
ing the massacre, with (600 upon him,
merely obtained from the Armenians on
his promise to save their lives, and
whom he had treacherously given up to
death. Everybody is asking whether
Mr. Terrill will do anything to vindi
cate the honor of ou- flag, but as yet we
bear of nothing being done."
' Another letter from Constantinople
dated September 30th, only five days
after the occurrence, says :
"Hasseky, the house which Miss
Gleason and Mrs. Sceleve occupied, waa
looted and the servant left in charge
doubtless lost his life. Men wearing
uniforms beaded the mob which attacked
the house and pulled down and tore to
shreds the United States flags that had
been hung out."

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 3. The
Venezuelan government has published a
decree ratifying the Orinoco concession.

acres of the Manoa country, which was
transferred to the Orinoco company,
The grant includes territory extending
from near the western or upper limit of
the Orinoco delta to the coast, Including
by its northern boundry several of the
delta islands, and extending southwest
to the crest of the Imitaca mountains.
It is said to have been been indicated
by Humboldt as the most promising
and favorable region for colonization he
had seen in bis travels in South
America.
A dispatch from Lima, Peru, says the
Commercio prints a leading article bit
terly attacking the new treaty between
Chile and Bolivia. The paper eays that
Bolivia, by the terms of the treaty,
practically sui renders her sovereignty to
Chile. The authors of the treaty are
called traitors, and the agreement is de
ionnced as & ' disgrace and menace to
the autonomy ot the nation.

BURRED LIKE FIRE
Speedily Cured by
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eiht years from that
most distressing of all diseases. Eczema, lint
can now say truihfully that 1 am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best physicians .
in tha country, but they did me little good.
The palms of rhy hands were covered, and
would become-inllauied; little. white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
burn like fire and itch ; well, there is no name .
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warrri, the burning and itching; would begin.
Night after night I would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of
Cuticuba remedies, got a box of Cuticuka
(ointment), a bottle of Ccticuiia Resolvent
(blood purifier), and gave them a thorough
trial, and after a few applications 1 noticed
the redness anil inflammation disappear: be
fort I had tvted one box ther'- vat not ot
Eczema left. I can truthfully asser; "2.(50
worth of Cutioitba. Hem ehies cured me. Any
one I meet who has Eczema, I do not hesitate
a moment in recommending vonr remedies.
