A general alarm was sent out by the fire department, and all the assist ance possible was given to those in the midst of the flood. Some 75 residences between the Santa Fe freight yards and the canal on tho river front were in undated within half an hour after the break, but nearly everything mov able was curried to high ground. A new levee is now being constructed for a distance of two miles along Fourth street to hold the water back and turn it again into the river. A great ' many houses are filled with refugees, but there are yet 200 families shelterless. These families are encamped along the edge of the mesa, in tiie north side of tlio city.

El Diario de la Marina in a leading editorial says: "We see in the American newspapers evidence that there are certain social classes in the United States not sufll- cientlv alive to the importance of the advice. 'Don't monkey with the lion'a tail.' These classes are remarkable for the eagerness with which they evade jurisdiction in affairs, which, like the Cuban war, are exclusively the affairs of Spain. The persistence with which they recognize the belligerency of tho insurgents is crazy and ridicu lous.

BLAMED Nina Were Killed and Eight gerlonaly Injured Majority of Them Were Try ing; ts Beat Their Way an Freight. Boise, May 81. The most disastrous wreck in the history of the Short Line railroad occurred at American Falls at 4:30 this morning. A runaway freight train crashed into the west-bound pas senger train. Niue men were killed outright and eight other seriously in jured. Both engine were demolished, the station buildings shattered to pieces and 18 or 20 cars smashed. The dead are: C. W. Shields, residence unknown; D. L. Thompson, of Dayton, Wash.; John K. Cooper, of Wellsville, Utah; J. Steffen, of Dillon, Mont; five un known men. Excepting Cooper, these men were beating their way on the freight Most of them were sheepshearers. Cooper was just about to take the passenger train going west The passenger train had pulled into American Falls, and was standing at its accustomed plaoe waiting for the freight to pass it on the sidetrack. American Falls station is situated in a depression, and there is quite an up grade in both directions. The first warning of any danger was when Engineer Heck man heard the freight whistle to back up. He at once reversed his engine, but the rails were wet and the grade heavy, and it was an instant or two before the train re- (ponded, and in that moment the freight train thundered around the curve and across the bridge, going at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The passenger train had hardly begun to move before the freight dashed into it. Both engines were demolished and the freight cars piled up one on the other, jamming in the side and demol ishing one whole end of the station building. Just as the engines met, Engineer Heckman jumped and came to the ground in the midst of flying timbers ami debris. John Cooper, Frank Burke and Night Telegraph Operator Charles Goodwin had been talking on the plat form an instant before they saw the i wild freight coming, cooper ran into ; the depot 'and was killed instantly. Burke and Goodwin ran out behind the j building and escaped. Brennan, who was on the platform at the same time, was buried in the wreck.

It is defii Ditoly settled that the most important conference held in America in connec tion with the Cuban cause will assem ble in Philadelphia some time next week. General Pulnirt will preside.
