A large reservoir situate-i at tbe sum m it o f Court b ill is tbe source o f consid erable fear. The recent downpour baa swollen tbe source* o f supply, and tbe reservoir is now so full that it threatens to burst and flood tbe pop ulous districts just below. Rich farming lands above and below this city are inundated. T b e flood there b u not reached a high stage, but has spread out in many places to a width o f five to six mile*. No hum o f life has been reported, but tbe damage to property w ill be very large. R ailw ay traffic is almost at a stand still. A il the small streams in South ern Iow a are out o f tbetr bank*.

Tbe Chicago Great W est ern line is entirely abut off. So is tbe Iowa Central. The W a lash still has entrance from tbe south, but is shut off on tbe north end. Work on tbe levees has progressed since last Friday, but the sudden rise this morning destroyed a great part o t •be labor.

A il telegraphic communication with Larisas t* interupted, but it is under stood that tbe retreat ot tbe Greek army was conducted with the best o f order. Tbe excitement and disquiet at Athens because o f tbe sodden abandonment of Larisas continues, but tbe tranquility of tbe city is unbroken. Tbe foreign warship* have been sig naled off Phalerum. A special dis patch received from tbe frontier assert* that tbe Turks, while attacking Mati. were repulard several times yesterday.

It is not yet known if the retreat was general.” A second dispatch from headquarters o f tbe staff says: “ Our troop» are con centrated along tbe line of Pharsalosis. and in consequence of these operations tbe abandonment of Tyrnavos and L a rissa is considered inevitable.” T h e R e t r e a t F r o m L a r i * ml .

H e was directed to leave it. Since 3 P. M. Saturday, tbe Larissa office had made no response to calls from Athens. A Beveni dispatch says E»lbem Pasha, on learning that tbe Greeks had been ordered to fall back, attempted to deliver a crushing blow with consider able force, which had been resting thirty-six hours, and succeeded in breaking through the Greek lines in several places.

A p ril 28.— The senate chamber had a deserted appearance when the session opened today, many o f the senators having gone to New York to attend the Grant ceremonies. Harris o f Tennessee was at his desk for the first tim e in many weeks, and was congratulate»! on bis recovery from a serious illness. In the absence of the vice-president and President Pro-tem.

Grant, and he prayed that tbe glow of patriotism freshly kindled may strengthen our government and the union of states. When the Indian bill was reported from the house, an effort was made to send it to conference, but Gorman ob jected, raying it had teen understood that no business was to be transacted. Thereupon, at 12:23 P. M., on motion of M orrill, the senate adjourned. 1* (b e H ou se. Washington. A p ril 28.— Tbe house held a purely formal session today. Many of tbe members had gone to New Y ork to attend the Grant mounment exercise*, and, under the arrangement made last week, after the reading of the journal, adjournment was imme diately taken. The president’s message transmitting the report o f the Mexican boundary line commission was. how ever, received before adjournment. There was less than fifty members pres ent.

London, A p ril 28.— A tremendous explosion occurred on the undergound railway at 5:30 this evening, as a train filled with men from th ecity was mak ing its usual stop at the Aldersgate sta tion. The glass roof of the station was blown out. and the platform was strewn with debris. Many o f the gaslights in the waiting-rooms and on the platforms were extinguished, and the sution was left in semi-darkness. A panic ensued. When comparative quiet had teen re store-1. it was found that a first-class coach had been wrecked, and that its occupants were lying about maimed and bleeding. Ten of the injured were found to be in a precarious condition, and were rem »ved to the hospital*. A number o f persons who were standing on tbe platform were also hurt. Much o f the wreckage was hurled across the stat ion. The cause of tbe explosion is not known, but it is believe«! to have been the result o f an accumulation of gas which became ignited in some way. Many persons, however, believe the dis aster wa* not doe to accident, bin was caused by the explosion of a bomb, which had been placed in the sution with the intention o f wrecking it.

A pril 2A — A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: ~u.a!!p«ox ha* made it# appearance in Owen Melton, an Catana* prison. American correspondent and a member of the Competitor crew, contrive»! to sec 1 a cote to friend* here .under date of April 18, in which be say«: ’ •smallpox has appeared in cell No. 4. in which there are four American*. One prisoner has died aDd three others have got the disease. I nursed a friend named Gonzales, not knowing he had smallpox, and so 1 suppose I w ill have i t I can only hope for the best.” This information was carried to Gen era) Lee and he promptly informed tbe United States government o f the state if »ff»irt. also wrote A cting Captain- General Ahumada inquiring if there had teen smallpox in Cabanas, and what steps had been taken to guard the health of the Americans imprisoned there. A reply was received making no statement of tbe prevalence of tbe direare. but stating that the Americans would be vaccinated at once. It is thought here that the appear ance of smallpox w ill make the Amer- icaa government press for tbe release of Melton and others, as it is understood -pain has practically decided to liberate teem. General Weyler is an obstacle to the release of any Americans. He said iast week in Santa Clara that A m erican* were set at liberty without gool cause. General W eyler’ s rerant declaration t: at ‘■acta Clara is pacified means that newspaper fighting there w ill be meager. Nevertheless he admits that within three days o f his declaration of tran quility more than ninety rebels were killed in the province. He says he will do longer require any troop» to fill the places of his killed and wounded, which means simply that he has been told to expect no more soldier* from Spain. The situation in Banes, a seapmrt town in Santiago de Cuba, now com mands much attention here. The gun- boat Galicia and the cruisers Nueva España and Reina Mercedes are waiting outside the narrows until three columns sent by General Weyler have had time to move on the rebels by land. The insurgents have held the town since Koloff’ s expedition landed there on March 25. The harbor is one naturally capable of easy defense, and it is said the insurgents have placed torpedoes in the channel. It is most difficult to learn any definite news of the recent operations there, but it is plain that tbe Spanish recognize the necessity of moving in force against the town and attempting to attack it simultaneously by land and sea. for the purpose of pre venting the rebels from continuing to bold the pert. General Gomez, according to the last report?, has left Arroyo Blanco district and moved nearer Trinidad. There is a rumor that he may be elected presi dent of the republic to succeed Cis neros. Another idea is that he ha* decided to contest the possession of Banes, and many who thought his siege of Arroyo Blanco was a ruse to entice M eyler into the country where moder ate force might be attacked to advant age, now believe that W eyler’s move ment toward Banes w ill meet a steadv resistance which w ill add to tbe evi dence already piled up to disprove Gen eral W eyler’s declaration of paeifica- Uon. K ip rrtu n le l on th. Floor o f a Car. San Francisco, April 26.— W. B. Bradbury, the millionaire, was before Police Judge Low yesterday on a charge of expectorating on the floor o f a street car. He was arrested about two weeks ago, but in deference to the request of his attorney tne hearing was postponed until yesterday.
