Ni:w Oklkans, La.. April 5. Gover
nor Foster lust night issued a proclatna
tion to the people. He calls attention
to the fatit that "Tho levee system, al
though not yet entirely perfected, is the
bulwark of the state's salvation. Gov
ernment and state aid has been ex
tended, end tho future depends upon
the people. Trusted leaders are in
charge of the work, and if the greatest
"re is maintained now all, or moat of
the levees, can he held, and the future
will be bright because the Bysteni will
be strengthened and completed and the
country will have confidence in Loui6a
flna, her enterprise and her oppor
tunities. The Bentiment expressed took root be
fore it was uttered, for all along the
Mississippi Valley road, between this
city and Baton Rouge, mass meetings
were held and volunteer forces organ
ized to keep a strict watch on the banks,
and labor day and night to strengthen
tbein. So far there is not a break in
the entiro Louisiana levee, not counting
the tributary bayou of Lafourche, where
the levees wore.
Yesterday the sunshine raised hopes

Protection, and a few more days of fair,
calm weather will see great strides made

Last night General Manager Thome,

ARent Spellman, of the Illinois Central,

The J'retildoiit Will Act.
Washington, April 5. The situation
10 tho flooded Mississippi tlistricta is be-
ing earnestly inquired into by the presi
dent, and today the Arkansas congres
sional delegation, headed by Senator
.Tones, called upon McKinley to urge
upon him the advisability of sending a
special message to congress urging ap-
propriate legislation for the relief of the
I flood sull'erers.

A delegation of the citizens of Mem
phis, headed by Representative Car
maek, also, called on the same miesion.
McKinley practically decided to tend a
special message to congress tomorrow on
i the subject.
Situation ut Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Minn., April 5. Some
apprehension is felt for the safety of the
new power dam recently completed at
great expense below St. Anthony falls.
A portion of the coping was carried away
by the first rush of ice, and it was noted
this morning that the notch had been
enlarged by the rush of water.
There has been a raise of sixteen in-
jches since Saturday, and 100 families on
the west side flats have been evicted by
the water. A strong current is setting
through the settlement, aud may
carry some homes away. The city en
gineer has declared Tenth avonue
btidge unsafe and closed it to travel.
The upper Mississippi is now looked
to as the danger point. The woods are
full of snow, and everything depends on
whether this melts rapidly or slowly.
The Kite Is Checked.
St. Louis, April 5. The clear weather
of the past two days has averted the
rise of the Mississippi to the danger line,
which it was predicted last week would
reach this morning. This morning,
the flood lacked a foot and four inches
of the SO-feet danger point.

Chattanooga, Tenn., April 5. The
river was twenty-six feet at 10 o'clock
this morning , a rise of ten feet in 24
hours. It is rising 2.4 inches an hour
and will reach the 33-feet danger line by
noon tomorrow.

Orders Have Come 1'roin Madrid to
Spur Uliu.
New Yohk, April 5. A World Ha
vana special says:
The belief is that Rivera will not be
shot. An order is said to have come
from Madrid to spare his life. This is
not prompted from motives of humanity,
but to make a good impression on the
United States and other nations. Gen-
eral Weyler is furious, it is reported, and
may cause the order to be withdrawn, in
which case General Rivara will be put
to death.
A V orld Courier brings a report from
the insurgents that-General Rivera had
received orders from Gomez to turn over
his command to General Roloff and ho
was about to report to Gomez for other
duty when he was captured. That hie
capture was brought ubout by treason is
still suspected, but Senor Jorrrin is no
longer accused. The tra;or is thought
to have been some petty officer under
General Kivera.
Weyler is evidently more anxious to
kill time than the rebels. A World
courier reports that the captain-general
remained aboard the steamer oil' SauUu
la Grande from March 22 to March 26,
during which time no one was allowed
to see him. Then he wasted two days
more aehore seeing no one. General
Weyler now is in Cienfuegoo, another
comfortable city. There he discovered
great corruption in furnishing army
supplies for paper money. Helms im
prisoned leading men and the chief of
police and has removed the governor.
It is reliably stated that General Wey
ler is seeing at Cienfuegos and commu
nicating with Cubans who are plotting
to get General Gomez into a trup. Gen
eral Gomez remains at Arroyo Blanco,
camping either at Santa Teresa, Juan
Criello, La Reforma or Las Barracon $

of the province outside of the big towus.
The rebel government two weeks ago
was at Blanquizala, two miles from
Manzanillo, on the coast.
Military Commander Marcelino Gar
cia, of Sancti Spiritus, publishes notes
of a forced draft, He commands alj
citizens to enliBt on pain of arrest. This
is done by General Weyler orders.
Nearly 100 Havana volunteers who en
listed for homo duty only were sent to
the front this week.

Allen said nothing like this bill had
been seen in the palmiest days of the
Populists. Chandler announced his
serious intention to press the bill as e:i
amendment to the railroad pooling bill
in case that measure was brought for
ward. The Cubau question was then debated,
the Allen resolution protesting against
the trial of Gen. Rivera by drumheru
courtmartial, forming the basis of the
debate. Allen made an emphatic speech
calling on the United States as a Chris
tian nation to stop the Spanish savagery
and outrages.
Hoar of Massachusetts opposed the
resolution, and favored a calm and de
liberate course.
Senator lalllnger of New Hampshire
made a very vehement speech in favor
of Cuoa. Ho said ho and every other
eeuutor, he believed, were getting letters
denouncing them for their position on
Cuba. They came, he added, from tho
money change) s of the Euet.
A motion to refer tho Rivera Cuban
resolution to the committee on foreign
relations was defeated. The resolution
was adopted, H to 0.

With the close of tho Presidential Campaign TIIK TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that tho American peoplo are now anxious to give their attention to homo and

prominence, until another State or National occanlon demands a renewal of tho
