RAIN FALLS IN INDIA
iThe Long Drouth Broken by
Generous Showers.
THE SITUATION STILL VERY GRAVE
A Million Persons Will IIuvo to lie
Fcl Until ilin Coming or the
Urn-rent lu April.
Calcutta, Jan. 7.-At a meeting of,
the council today, Sir John Woodburn,
revenue member, said the timely rains
of November and December had saved
India from the grea' est calamity of the
century, so widespread and severe was
the drought. The large area sown with
the assistance of the November rains
had, he said, been greatly benefited by
further rains last week, and an nddtiion
to the food stock was expected in April.
In Bpite of this, the present situation
was very grave. Nearly 750,000 persons
were already in receipt of relief, and the
task for providing for the enormous
numbers was gigantic. The government
was giving unstinted help.
The viceroy, Earl of Elgin, endorsed
the statement of Sir John Woodburn,
and said it was what the government
was awaiting to enable it to give better
effect to the proposals it would gladly re
ceive. The government, the viceroy emphat
icaly declared, can have nothing to do
with an appeal to private chariy. Its
own duties were clear, and the govern
ment was determmd fulfill them. Toe
funds wore ample, and it should never
be said the the full resourses of the em
pire had not been used for relieving dis
tress. GOIil FOUND AT 4. OIIKAT DEPTH.
Uloh Find In
a Grims
Mine.
Valley Oolcl
San Fkancisco, 'Jan. 7. The mining
world has been set by the cars by the de
velopment in the KetiLedy mine in
Grass Valley within the past few days.
At a perpendicular depth of over 2,100
feet a body of rich ore fully thirty feet
in widtli has been discovered. In mag
nitude the ore body will compare favor
ably with any yet found, and tho great
depth at which 'it lies explodes a long
cherished and heretofore believed infal
lible tradition of the search for gold on
the Pacific coast.
It is an old theory, which age has al
most crystallized into a formula, that
gold ore disappears after a certain depth
has been attained. This is a creed of
every old prospector from the Yukon to
the Panama isthmus. The develop
ments in the Kennedy not only topples
over the old-time belief, but may lead to
a revolution in mining in this state.
For the deeper progress ib made in the
Kennedy the wider grows the ore body.
At the 800-foot level the vein was rich,
but only eight feet wide. At the 2,000
foot level it had increased to twenty feet.
At the 2,100-foot level it is thirty feet
Wide, and as the workmen go still
deeper the ore body grows. It is like a
great wedge in the earth, with the edge
to the surface.
Orders have been given to sink the
shaft an additional 200 feet, and mine
ownore on the Pacific coast are awaiting
the result. If that ledge continues to
grow in size there will be some lively
burrowing in the bottom of the mother
lode this coming summer. Even the
Comstock people may be tempted to
make another experiment.
At its present development the Ken
nedy has the distinction of being the
deepest gold mine in the world, with the
exception of a property in Victoria,
Australia. The shaft from top to bot
tom, allowing for the incline, measures
2,460 feet.

Colonel Fondevila has instituted a reign
of terror at the place. His name is well
known to the American press as that of
the most bloodthirsty officer of General
Weyler's command. He is a iavorite of
captain-general and has been appointed
military commander of Guanabacoa,
just across the bay from Havana.
"Fully 500 families have left the town
and moved into Havana since his tak
ing charge. People are taken from
their homes and killed with machetes in
the outskirts of the town. The world
is then made to believe that such people
were "leaving their homes to join the
robels who swarm the neighborhood. I
know of 89 persons who have thus been
done away with.
"Even honest Spaniards are ehocked
at Fondevila's acts. One of the honest
Spaniards warned me that my name
was on the list with more than 200 more
kept by Fondevila as men marked by
him for secret execution as rebel sym
pathizers. Being a thoroughly neutral
man and having good friends among the
Cubans and Spaniards alike, I managed
to obtain my passport for the United
States. I owe my escape from Fonde
vila's clutches to one of my Spanish
friends, for- whom I feel the greatest
gratitude."

New Yoiik, Jan. 7. The World pub
lishes the following letter from the Prin
cess de Chimay, formerly Clara Ward, of
Detroit, who is now at Budapest, ad
dressed "To My Countrywoman:"
"It is hardly necessary to say that I
do not dictate this letter with the iuten
tion of influencing public opinion in ray
favor. I ihink I have shown by my ac
tions that what is called public opinion
does not exist for me, and that therefore
regard for it could not in the least in
fluence my doings. I leave it to any
body who so pleases to condemn or ex
cuse me. I know too well who and what
the people aften are, or pose to be, for
whom the world in which I had the mis
fortune to live can never cease praying.
The judgment of these people is of no
consequence to me.
"Nor did I intend by my letter to in
duce any of my countrywomen to follow
my example. What I have doue, I did
because I felt that I had to do it. I hate
hypocrisy and lies. I wanted to have
done with them. I wanted to be free,
to escape the fetid atmosphere in which
modern society moveB. Could I have
been a man I would have become a
second Count Tolstoi in certain respects.
"What I want to impress upon my
countrywomen, especially on those of
them who, like me, are spoiled children

Ereta's L,nst Hope Is Dashed to Earth.
Oakland, Cal., Jan. 7. General Ezeta,
the ex-president of tho republic of Salva
dor, has had one more bitter dreg added
to his cup oi unhappiness. He read the
published report of the cancellation of
the papers of the consul-general of the
republics of Honduras, Salvador and
Nicaragua, and the issuance of papers to
his sworn enemy, Dr. Calderon, as consul-general
of the united republics.
These facts mean that Ezeta 'a last hope
of returning to Salvador and being re
ceived by his faithful people will never
be realized.
"I look upon the whole matter," said
the general as he paced uneasily up and
down his room, "as a great farce. The
unification of those three republics has
all been accomplished by their re
spective governments without ever sub
mitting the question to the people.
"There is a motive for it a very
clever motive and before long tho
money-lenders of this country and
Europe will discover it. The three
bankrupt republics have simply banded
together for mutual strength and for the
purpose of presenting to the world an
appearance of solidity and stability bo
that they will be enabled to float some
heavy loanB under the guise of making
permanent improvements and develop
ing the Greater Republic of Central
America.
All About n Common Cur Dog.
These are the particulars of the pro
ceedings in the justice court of Center-
ville, last Monday. The bone of eaten
tion so ably fought for by Judge Hiram
DuBtin and attorney Nelson B. Brooks,
counsel, was a common cur dog. Con
rad Yeackel was, at one time in posses
sion of the nomad cur. Recently, it
seems, the dog made his home at John
Jackel and aided in herding a flock of
sheep. Last week Conrad brought suit
to replevin and for possession of the dog.
The case was ablv fought bv eacli side.
The court awarded the cur to Conrad
and assessed the costs, that run up to
more than .$100 to John Jackel. It is
said the case will be appealed to the su
perior court.
Drowned in Young's Bay.
Ahtokia Jan. 7. Two men in a email
skiff, making their way down Young's
river this afternoon from Krosells' farm,
were upset near the mouth of Young's
bay. One man, Gustav Brust, was
drowned, and the other, Fred Martini,
was saved. Their cries for help were
beard by Joseph Craig, who was on a
ranch near by, and who immediately
put out in a boat and succeeded in sav
ing Martini, but could not get hold of
the other man, who was too far gono tor
help to be of avail. Search was made
tonight for the dead man's body, hut up
to a late hour no favorable reports were
received.

St. Louis, Jan. 7. A special to the
Republic from Quincy, 111., says:
Farmers who have been down in the
Indian Grave district report that the
water in the flooded portions, 14 miles
above here, is subsiding slowly, and that
there is much suffering among the water
bound families and their stock. Last
night a party went to the aid of the suf
ferers, and, after working most of the
night, cutting their way through the ice,
they reached four families who had been
calling for help for two days, aud part of
whom bad lived upon parched corn for
three days.
Whiakey aud Rough Weather,
Hki-I'Nkh, Or., Jan. 7. M. D. Logan,
a farmer, living about 10 miles from
here, was found dead in a gulch near
the residence of Robert Dexter, yester
day forenoon. He was seen last Friday
evening, when he left here for home.
He was then considerably uuder the in
fluence of liquor, and it Ib thought that
he became so intoxicated that he fell off
his horse and died from exposure. The
remain were brought in last night.
Iju'an leaves a large family in poor cir
cumstances. The verdict 'of the coro
ner's jury was that Logan died from in
toxication and exposure.
