Havana, March 29. General Hernan
dez Velasco, continuing operations in
the hi'iS of Pinar del Eio, with the
troops under his command, was encaged
vesterday morning at Cabazeadas, Rio
Hondo district, with an insurgent force
of 100 men under General Ruiz Rivera.
The insurgents were dispersed, and
their position captured after an hour's
fighting.
The troops captured a number of
prisoners, including Major General Ruiz
Rivera, his chief of staff, Colonel
Bacallao and adjutant, Lieutenant Terry.
General Rivera and Lieutenant Terry
were both wounded.
Rivera, who succeeded Antonio Maceo
in command of the insurgent forces in
Pinar del Rio, is considered next in
military importance to General Maximo
Gomez.
The Insurgents left ten men killed.
The troops, pursuing the enemy, cap
tared a quantity of arms, ammunition,
dynamite, caps, etc. The troops had
one man killed, and Lieutenant Wol
gesraffen and twenty-four soldiers
wounded.
General Rivera and his chief of staff,
Colonel Bacallao, were brought in pris
oners at San Cristobal, Pinar del Rio,
last evening. Lieutenant Terry, ad
jutant of General Rivera, who was made
prisoner a, the same time' died on the
way to San Ciistobal. He was wounded
by the explosion of a Spanish shell dur
ing the engagement at Cabazeadas.

Prison Life iu Cuba.
Havana., March 9. Owen Melton.the
American newspaper correspondent who
iscutifined with the Competitor crew iu
Cabanas, ie reported to be dying.
A Judy who went to Cabanas recently
to see relatives incarcerated there, states
that Melton is so weal, that he is able
to speak only in a whisper. He could
not raise himself to the window without
tie assistance of his companion.
Melton's cell is damp and foulsmell
ing. A fellow-occupant of the same
compartment with Melton died with
typhoid fever a few days ago. Melton
has had no medical attention, and is
now a mere skeleton. He told the lady
mentioned above that be felt that hie
end was near, and that he was fully
resigned in his fate, preferring death
here now to transportation in chains to
a Spanish penal station off the African
coast later on.

LEVEES AKE IN DANGER.
i Situation Along the Mississippi Shores
Washington, March 29. Colonel Gil
lespie, president of the Mississippi
commission, has telegraphed General
Wilson, chief of engineers, from Vicks
burg, under date of yesterday as fol
lows: "The gauges along '.the river from
Memphis to Vicksburg give a flood read
ing varying from l1 to 3 feet above any
previously recorded readincs. The feel
ing everywhere is one of uneasiness,
all the etate levee boards are battling
against the rising floods regardless of
cost. As yet no widely spread damage
' has been reported, though several
j breaks in levees above Greenville, on
both banks, have occurred, ine levees
are seriously strained at all points."
Crevasse at Greenville.
Greenville, Mies., March 29. A
crevasse occurred last night in the levee,
seven miles south of Greenville, on the
Mississippi side, through which an im
mense volume of water is pouring into
the Black and Steele Rayon country.
The opening is 500 feet wide. Unless it
can be stopped, which is highly Improb
able,' all the country westof Deer creek
and the most prosperous part of the
Delta will be overflowed south of the
Yazoo river. This break relieved the
pressure somewhat on Greenvile front.
Situation iu IlllnoU.
Alton, 111., March 29. Conditions be
come graver every hour. Men were put
to work this morning overhauling all the
levees protecting higher bottom lands.

withstand the floods, for less than 12
feet more of water will bring the stage of
1892, when the tracks of all railroads
were submerged between Alton and St.
Louis.
The euage shows an advance of four-
tenths of a foot in the last twenty-four
hours. The river is within less than feet
of the etaire reached in the middle of
May, last year, and with nearly two
months of wet weather ahead, tne out
look is gloomy.
Tboueands of dollars have already
been swept away in crops products, and
it is raining again, so that the prairies,
even back from the river, look like lakes,
and the preparation of land for spring
crops is again deferred.

of tho islands and etetched back o?cr the
Missouri bottoms for several miles with
only the tops of trees nnd partly sub
merged houses visible hero and there to
mark the former places of abode of
thrifty farmers.
The situation on the levee is the same
as yesterday. A large force are working
heroically to strengthen tho week places,
and thereby save their homes and crops,
but it is now believed to be a hopless
one, as old river men say that the river
will go beyond the mark of nine years
ago.
Reports from the north are very dis
couraging, and tho rain storm which
prevailed Sunday increased the fears of
the owners of land in tho levee distiicts.
Minnesota HI vers KUtni;.
St. Paul, March 29. The rivers of
Minnesota are rising very rapidly, fol
lowing a day of heavy thawing. The
Mississippi at this point has passed the
10-foot mark, and is still rising steadily.
Water is flowing in from tho Minnesota
in a torrent.
A telephone message from South
Park, five miles south of here, says a
gorge of ice twenty feet high was formed
there. As the prediction is for warmer
weather, it is believed the gorge will
break without doing serious damage.
The water is now running through the
Bohemian flats, and the residents of
that locality are moving out. The base
ments of many concerns on the west
side are full of water.
Much higher water in the Mississippi
river is reported at Little Falls, St.
Cloud and Grand Rapids. There is still
about a foot of snow on the ground.
The man who eats because he is hun
gry is, thus far, on the level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased is the
wise man. Nature needs no more food
than he calls for. Continued excess
brings about indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, am
bition and mental power, and an ac
cumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some artific
ially digested food which tan also digest
other foods. That is to say, we must
use the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The
effect is prompt and cheering. The
chronic pain and distress ceases.
Appetite presently revives. Flesh and
vigor gradually comes back, and the
sufferer recovers. But he must be care
ful in future. A trial bottle for 10 cents.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
