Tuesday morning for Evansville, taking with them <OO people. Mayor Carney, of Shawneetown, telegraphed to Governor Tanner to-night for 108 tents r.nd 100 coffins. The tents arrived this evening, but could not be got across 'h' back waters of the Wabash from Cypress Junction. The relief train sent out of Springfield this afternoon by Governor Tanner has gone by way of Evansville, and from there the supplies will be taken to Shawneetown by boat, reaching the destination to-morrow morning. At midnight another box car loaded with supplies from th< towns along the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern arrived here, but will lay until morning. Marsh Calllcott. the son of Wash CalliI'lft and wife, who perished, made a heroic i (Tort to save his parents. He secured a rowboat and got within forty feet of the homo- where his mother and 'father were imprisoned. The swift current prevented him from coming nearer. The parents Stood in water to their armpits awaiting the arrival of the boat. Suddenly a wave swept them into the current and they were drowned before their son’s eyes. George Hurralson, a merchant, seized his little granddaughter when the water struck his store, and, holding her above his head, waded, armpit deep, toward higher ground. A boat picked them both out of the water. David Rookendorffer and wife were in their home directly in the path of the huge wave that swept through the broken dike. Their little aon in the yard saw the wave coming and hurriedly climbed a tree. The father and mother had time to rush upstairs when the house was swept from its foundations. They climbed on the roof as the house floated off and heard tnelr little son in the tree crying: “Good-bye, papa and mamma,” The agonized parents were powerless to go to his assistance, and in a few moments the house had been carried beyond the reach of the boy’s voice. They floated from the north levee to the south levee, a distance of a mile, and were taken off in safety. Tho little son was subsequently rescued in the trectop by a boat and the family reunited. Mr. Rookendorffer said that as he floated down the current on the house top he saw people drowning on all sides. The colored quarter of the city known an “negro flats” was completely inundated by the rush of water. It is believed that a laige number of colored people perished, as the ground was flooded in a twinkling, and to-night the water stands twenty-five feet de< p in that locality. No effort has been made to recover the bodies. Every means of assistance is used to provide food and shelter to the hundreds of homeless refugees. Last night the Catholic Academy, the sehoolhouse, the City Hull and the Riverside Hotel, all situated on high ground above the water, were crowded with homeless people. Hundreds are to-night sleeping on the river banks, under such rude shelter as they can construct from the floating debt is. Absolutely nothing has been saved in the city. The stores and other business houses are flooded to the second floors, all the streets are under w r ater from ten to thirty feet. Provisions constantly arriving from ail the neighboring towns. A relief train arrived here to-night, but owing to the high winds and roughness of the water at the ferry crossing all attempts to transfer the provisions across have been abandoned. They have been taken to the water’s edge, and at the break of day will be ferried across. The inhabitants of Ridgeway have organized into a relief committee, with Dent Reid, J. O. Brooks and G. M. Kimbo at its head. Houses have been thrown open and as soon as a refugee reaches here he is promptly taken care of and everything possible is done for their comfort. By order of Governor Tanner, u State relief committee has been formed ot the following citizens: G. F. Baxter, George Laud, J. O. Brooks, I>ent Reid and Edward Rice. The heavy rain still continues, and at 6 o’clock a high, cold wind sprung up, adding to the misery of the sufferers In the stricken town. At 11 o’clock to-night a telephone message was received from Shawneetown, saying that the south levee was cracking and threatening to go at any minute. It is about sure that it will break before morning. This will not add to the depth of the water in the town, but will create a current through the streets that will prove dangerous to rescuers in skiffs. Governor Tanner this afternoon started from Springfield one hundred tents, blankets enough for five hundred people and a sufficient amount of prepared food for the Immediate relief of 1.200 people. He also wired Attorney W. S. Phillips, president o£ the Gallatin County Bank here, to draw upon him for $3,000 as an immediate relief fund. Governor Tanner has issued a proclamation to the public to send in relief in cars of Mr. W. S. Phillips, at this place. Tho order of Odd Fellows and the Masonic lodge are supervising the distribution of supplies. A. F. Crawford, of this city, has si>ent the day In distributing supplies. As fast as they are received they are taken by special train to the water’s edge, ferried across in 6kiffs to Cypress Junction, and from there taken by wagon to within two miles of Shawneetown. All the carpenters in Ridgeway went to work making fiatboats this morning for transportation of supplies across the inundated territory and an impromptu ferry has been established. The water is a mile wide at the crossing point and is back water, the river being seven miles. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern tracks are under five feet of water for five miles north of Cypress Junction.

SO WARNING or THB BREAK. Vail of Water Fifteen Feet lligli Swept Through the City. RIDGEWAY, 111 , April 4.—J. T. Hogan, or Omaha, 111., left the scene of the flood at Shawneetown half an hour before the dike broke. His brother-in-law. Sheriff Galloway, of Gallatin county, whose home was in Shawnetown, had the same good fortune. The sheriff’s wife and two daughters were swept away and their bodies have not yet been recovered. Hogan’s story of the flood shows that the townspeople had absolutely no wa-.ning of the disaster. "About 5 o'clock last evening.” he said, "the levee n the north side of the town gave way at the north end of Market street, near the courthouse. An opening ten feet wide was hi first made, but it quickly spread to twenty, and a wall of water ten or fifteen feet high poured through the main street, sweeping everything before it. About fifty small frame houses along the line of the levee to the south were crushed like toys, and none of the occupants, most of whom were poor colored folks, escaped. Those living in the more substantial houses managed to climb to second and third stories, where they clung for hours through the chilly night. The houses in the western part of the town did not at once feel the effect of the flood and residents made hasty steps for safety, most of them fleeing to the tep of the levee on the south side of the town. A large number also reached the little hills which are a mile from the town, and from there saw their property crumble In the muddy waters. When daylight came this morning the streets were full of water to a depth of ten or fifteen feet. Only the most substantial buildings in the central business district remain standing. Water is everywhere, and the relief work is being carrSid out under great difficulties.” Ridgeway, a town twelve miles from Bhaw nee town, was made the basis of relief work. All rail communication eving cut off four miles out, boats were constructed and * • ommittec started to the scent It readied Cypress Junction, half way to Shawneetown, and found dry land extend--1 g towards the river. Following this it arrived within two miles of the flooded town.

More boats were started and the rescuers crossed to Shawneetown. They found a sad condition existing in the 111-fated town. Hundreds of those who escaped the rush of water were perched on roofs, trees and along the top of the levee. They were taken from their dangerous positions as rapidly as possible. Owing to the scarcity of boats the work was very slow; but over two hundred persons, including, many women and children, were taken to the roadway, two miles from Shawneetown, to Cypress Junction. Here the greater part of them are camped to-night, with very little to eat and exposed to the driving wind and piercing cold. Cypress Junction Is almost surrounded by water which has overflowed the banks of the Wabash and is covering the entire country. The overflow from the broken dike at Shawneetown has backed up two miles Inland, but is to-night slowly receding. It will be Impossible to recover any bodies until the water recedes very materially. In fact, the rescuers are making very little effort In that direction, but are working to save those who escaped alive. The Riverside Hotel and courthouse and the Ridgeway Bank are intact, and were found to have been used by the fleeing inhabitants for shelter. The upper stories were crowded with several hundred. People were promenading on the top of the levee Sunday afternoon. Sunday schools had just closed and the children trooped merrily along the smooth walk enjoying the bright sunshine. This proved a blessing to them. A large crowd had Just passed Market street, where the break occurred. Luckily no one was passing there just at the moment. Tho railroad station at Ridgeway has been crowded all day and despite the steady downpour of rain the people cluster about the place, each anxiously Inquiring for some new tidings from the flood disaster at Shawneetown. Mrs. Harriet Dumont was one of the arrivals to-night from the flooded district. Mrs. Dumont, in company with a friend, was walking along the levee at the time the break occurred. She said: “It was about 4:25 In the afternoon when we were suddenly startled by hearing the bells of the different churches throughout the city clanging. People began running in all directions and somebody shouted that the levee had broken. We ran three blocks to my friend's home and went upstairs. Within ton minutes the water came pouring down the street and within twenty minutes more it had risen almost to the second floor of our house. My friend’s husband soon came to us with a skiff and took us to the Riverside Hotel. The first alarm was given by Father Buckman, who began ringing the bell of the Church of the Immaculate Conception.” The lower portim of Carmi, 111., on the Wabash river, is entirely Hooded. The water reaches half way to the second stories of the houses. The water is level with the floor of the iron road bridge, but the railroad bridge is still two feet above. At one point on the Big Four, a mile north of Carmi, the track is but one foot above water for a quarter of a mile.

SOME CLIMBED TREES, AY bile Others Ran Towards the Hills and Were Drowned. MOUNT VERNON, Ir.d., April 4.—The tug Isabella, which went to the relief of the Shawneetown sufferers last night, returned here to-day for provisions. City Marshal L. B. Holleman returned on her and reports the situation there as appalling. He said: “People who have not visited the scene cannot picture in imagination the awful suffering and destitution that exists there. In the Riverside Hotel, last night, there were at least five hundred men, women and children huddled together, their clothing wet and nothing with which to build fires. Women were wringing their hands and crying, searching for members of their family who were missing, and many men even were weeping. It. is impossible, at the present time, to give a correct estimate of the loss of life, but it will probably exceed one hundred. Sheriff Galloway lost his entire family, consisting of wife and four children. Two ladies who were visiting his family were also drowned. Mr. Galloway saved himself by climbing a tree, from which he was subsequently rescued. He is prostrated and fears are expressed that he may lose his mind. The levee broke above the city and the water came with such a rush as to sweep all the one-story buildings and many others before it. The area covered by the water is one mile square, and in less than one hour the water was fifteen to twenty feet deep. The people who are caged up In the third story of what houses remain standing need fuel and food.” Richard Barnett, who also visited the scene of the calamity, returned on the Isabella and, in an interview, said: “The water is within three feet of the top of the levee. The levee is, perhaps, fifteen feet wide on the top, and this space is crowded with men, women and children and live stock of all descriptions. It was raining last night and many people could not find shelter. ’The Riverside Hotel, the courthouse and upper stories of dwellings are crowded. The levee had been in bad condition for several days but no one expected it to break. It gave way between 5 and 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon and caught many people on the streets. Some climbed tress and were saved, while others tried to run to the hills, three-quarters of a mile back from the river, but were caught by the rushing waters and drowned. M. J. Hartnett, editor of the Shawnee News, is among the missing. The work of rescuing victims from trees and housetops was carried on all night and this morning. But few bodies had been recovered when we left there at X a. m. The loss of property will run into the hundreds of thousands. Live stock suffered greatly. Horses and cattle, in many instances, were pulled out of the water into the upper stories and quartered with the people.” Mayor of tins city, called the Mount Vernon Council together to-day and a donation of S2OO was made with which to buy food. Committees were appointed to solicit aid and this the Isabella steamed away again with SSOO worth of provisions for the sufferers. BELIEF FOR SUFFERERS. Traiuioad En Route from Spriugfteld to Shawneetown. SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 4.—A special train on the Chicago & Alton road, bearing relief supplies for the sufferers at Shawneetown left here at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon. Dr. F. H. Wines was in charge of the expedition, while Sergeant Batty had charge of the 300 tents, blankets and other supplies. Beforo the train left word was received that there was washout on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad at Cypress Junction, twelve miles north of Shawneetown, and that all supplies would have to be taken to the scene of the flood from Cypress Junction by wagons. Governor Tanner this afternoon received ♦he following telegram dated Cypress Junction. from M. S. Rearden, former general superintendent of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louts Railroad: "1 lave been over the entire situation at Shawneetown. I beg to respectfully urge on you the groat importance of immediate assistance for the suffering of Shawneetown. Thev need fond, clothing, tents and also coffins and burial caskets. You can ship them by boat from Evansville, or Mount Vernon. Ind.. or from Paducah, or by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern to Cypress Junction, where they can be teamed down by wagons. There are about 800 people lost. No estimate can be placed upon the damage to property yet, but it will be at least $200,000. If I can be of service to you. command me. Will remain here a few days.” Two Hundred Feet Wide. EQUALITY, 111.. April 4.—Five minutes after the levee broke at Shawneetown the crevasse was two hundred feet wide. All frame buildings In the north of the town were broken to pieces. The loss is put at one hundred live*. There Is destitution and want on all sides.

Victory for liquor Men. Special to,the Indianapolis Journal. SALEM, Ind., April 4.—The liquor dealers have won a victory in their fight here by securing the resignation of the deputy prosecutor. Thomas Honan, the district prosecutor, yielded to their demands and requested Prow's resignation. Mr. Prow prosecuted several cases of illegal liquor selling, securing conviction. This so angered the saloon men that they brought pressure to bear on the prosecutor to remove Prow and appoint a man of their own selection. Prow, with many other leading Democrats, refused to go into the Democratic primaries Friday last.. Honan is a candidate for renomination and many of the Democrats who are independent of such influences say they will not vote for him. This affair and the manner of conducting the primaries will drive many Democrats out of the party in Washington county. At the county convention Saturday, held after the primaries, certain Democrats were vigorously denounced as a ring, and one speaker openly gloried in that they had dowmed one faction ami continued by doubting others who had spoken as being Democrats.

(Concluded from First Page.) States minister afterwards conferred with Senor Gullon, the minister for foreign affairs. After the Cabinet council Senor Moret again called on General Woodford and had an hour’s interview with him. The Correspondencia says: “Spain’s reply to the Pope in accepting mediation said the honor of Spain would be safe in his hands and that full justice would be done in the case, owing to the high prestige of his Holiness everywhere. The mediation,” the Correspondencia then adds, 'clears up every point at issue, but we must not be sanguine, because things in America have been precipitated in such a violent manner that even taking for granted President McKinley’s good faith we are not sure the mediation will arrive in time to prevent Congress from making a question of its own.” The ministerial Globo, in its leading article to-day assumes an attitude of reserve, saying: “The papal mediation is satisfactory, but the government must not discontinue its preparations for the worst. The good offices of the Pontiff are admitted. but Spain can never countenance her rights being ignored.” The Liberal (moderate Republican), referring to the Pope’s intervention between Spain and Cuba says that it wants the “assurance that the Pope’s mediation is not a pretext for the United States to obtain a delay of some months, with the view of recommencing later the struggle against Spain, within and without Cuba.” The Liberal further remarks that it does not lose sight of the fact that the Pope’s mediation “tacitly admits the American right to interfere in Spanish affairs in the interests of peace,” and expresses the belief that the government “will be obliged to declare that mediation does not mean conceding through a foreign hand what Spain declines to concede to the United States direct,” explaining that “Spain’s effective sovereignty must not depend upon the Pope’s will.” The Imparcial (independent) hails with satisfaction the Pope’s mediation between the Spaniards and Cubans. The Globo says: “Anew political power has developed in America, in Archbishop Ireland, equal to that of President Cleveland and President McKinley,” and asks, “can it overcome the jingoes?” The revolutionary Pais welcomes peace,* front whatever quarter it comes, “as enabling Spain to repair the material losses of two cruel wars. But,” the Pais adds, “the peace must be honorable, otherwise it will be a greater evil than war.” The Pais then strikes a warning note, saying the Pope is in favor of Cuban independence, quoting an interview which an Italian newspaper man had with the Pope in March last to confirm this statement, and also suggesting that the Spanish pastorals were “part and parcel of a mature Vatican scheme to secure on the same basis the Sllvellist policy and sell the island.”

The Spanish Minister’s Statement. MADRID, April 4, 1:30 p. m.—The correspondent here of the Associated Press has just had an interview with a high personage of great authority who cleared up many discrepancies in previous reports, showing just how the papal intervention occurred. Unfortunately, the name of this high personage cannot be quoted, but no one is better qualified to speak with knowledge of the subject. This minister said: “There is no papal telegram whatever. What happened was that the Spanish ambassador at the Vatican was approached by Cardinal Rampolla (the papal secretary of state), who told him that the President of the United States had allowed it to be understood that papal intervenion would be ac-/ ceptable. Ihe Spanish ambassador wired here to that effect and thereupon w'e indicated that though having sent a categorical reply to President McKinley, the terms having previously been conceded to the last point consistent with Spain's honor, we were certain the Pope would respect the rights and honor of Spain, and agreed to his intervention. It was impossible for our regular army, fighting rebels, to agree to offer an armistice at the suggestion of a certain foreign power, but when the father of Christendom offered intervention we could not refuse accepting, knowing well that reliance might be placed on his independent judgment. So, not an armistice, but a truce of God—has been agreed upon. This, however, requires action on the part of the United States—consequential aetibn to our concession. The rebels have been, not designedly we believe, assisted and encouraged by the presence of American war ships in the neighborhood of the island. A continuance of this would militate-against the Pope’s good office ;:nd against the hopes of peace. We know President McKinley has w’orked for peace, but an adverse influence has been growing like a rising tide and it is now a question whether any barrier or embankment he would set across its progress would be strong enougli to withstand its force. Spain has shown her willingness to secure peace by concessions to the last point consistent with her national honor. The future depends on the power of the American government in controlling hostile public opinion.” . A SPANIARD’S VIEWS. lie Does Not Think Europeans Can Assist His Country. LONDON, April s.—The Paris correspondent of the Times gives a conversation he has had with an “eminent Spaniard,which is ir.lcresting as a record of Spanish ideas in the crisis. The “eminent Spaniard” is said to have spoken with some bitterness, expressing the belief that “nowadays it is hopeless for any weak state to expect help from Europe and. therefore, Spain must rely on herself alone.” He said, moreover, European intervention in the eyes of the American people would have no significance unless it were armed, and that will never occur, for ail these powers, if once under arms, would feel mutual distrust and watch one another Instead of joining forces for a common result. “The only consideration which affects the United State* is their probable chance of success. They will take no heed of any-

thing abroad. European* always fancy that the intervention of Emperor Wiillain would have some effect, and that a dispatch from him to the President of the United States would somehow modify Mr. McKinley’s decision. But this is a mistake. The Americans would like to have a dispatch from Emperor William merely to have the pleasure of refusing what he asks, and thus marking the profound disdain they profess for the powders of old Europe. ”How could Europe do anything against the United States? For forty-live years the principle of filibustering has been in vogue throughout Europe, and the whole policy oi Europe is based upon it. what right should Europe reproach the United States for doing what she herself has been doing constantly for nearly half a century . “I repeat that not on Europe should we count, hut on ourselves, on God and on our right. There Is still in Spain plenty of gold and good blood, and we shall spar neither. We shall send all the soldiers we can to America. If Americans li they will not vanquish the 250.000 men. which is the number we shall shortly nave in Cuba. We shall deal American trade more rapid and telling blows than America will ever deal us, for if we cannot captuie vessels we can wreck them. If we succumb the Americans will soon seize other Euiopean possessions. , , . “I am told that the Pope is intervening. The Pone remembers the ironical triumj fi which Prince Bismarck secured for him over the Caroline islands, but th * s . ,\J me .*l® will find the Americans madder with pride and scorn of others than all the nations of Europe. They will not need him more than others, and nothing will make them hesitate but the necessity of paying for premeditated conquest by mountains of ruin and torrents of blood.’ * l’Ol’E LEO’S WORK. Efforts of His Holiness to Prevent tlie Threatened War. LONDON, April s.—The Rome correspondent of the Daily News says: “On it being announced this morning (Monday) that the Pope would mediate between Spain and the United States and on it being circumstantially stated that Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor William had seconded the efforts to get the Pope to mediate, I visited General William E. Draper, the United States ambassador, aftd later Monsignor O’Connell, rector of the American College in Rome, both of whom denied having any knowledge on the subject whatever.” Monsignor O’Connell said: “I think such a solution most improbable, the Republican party in America being rather hostile to the Vatican and the Catholic elements which support the Democratic party. A later dispatch from the same correspondent says: “Although representations made through Archbishop Ireland and also through Cardinal Gibbons to President McKinley have received an evasive answer, at the Vatican, the President’s indisposition is regarded .as of a political nature and is considered to indicate a triumph of their policy and it is affirmed that it was after the papal action that the President postponed his message, which all indications show would have meant war. I now learn from the best source that, besides his action through the American prelates in the United States the Pope worked, especially through France, inducing M. Hanotaux to send to M. Cambon, tne French . minister at Washington, most precise and urgent instructions io do his best to prevent war. I am assured also that the Pontiff induced France to take the initiative for collective European action, to take effect at Washington, and also at Madrid, but at the latter only nominally. However, the project had to be abandoned, as, while Spain has kept the different Cabinets informed of her proceedings, the United States, on the contrary, have maintained complete silence. “It having been impossible to purchase Italian war ships, the United States government bought several merchantmen, among which is the North American, formerly the Stirling Castle, the fastest steamer of the Veloce Company, of Genoa.” The Times says editorially this morning; “It is to be supposed that President McKinlay gave some encouragement to the idea of Papal mediation, but found the country 1 not likely to accept it. The truth is mediation and arbitration are very beautiful theoretically, but very difficult in practice; and the differences between Spain and the United States are too great and too substantial to be treated by that rosewater method.” The general drift of the editorials in the morning papers is that however desirable peace may be. there is little hope left that the Pope will succeed, as the insurgents are not likely to consent to an armistice. All the forecasts of President McKinley’s message regard it as rather warlike.

ATTITIDE OF EUROPEANS. Interesting Talk with Mr. Eustls, ExAmbassador to France. WASHINGTON. April 4.—Hon. J. B. Eustis, former United States ambassador to France, was asked his opinion with reference to M. Hanotaux’s recent declaration in the French Chamber of Deputies touching the Spanish-Cuhan question. “I have no doubt,” said Mr. Eustis, “that that declaration correctly represents the opinion of M. Hanotaux. Since this Spanish-Cuban question has become serious the attitude of the French government has become one of extreme delicacy. Having frequently discussed the question with M. Hanotaux, I have always found that his attitude as regards the Spanish and American governments was exceedingly proper. The French aristocracy and the Catholic party in France naturally strongly sympathize with the Spanish government as against the United States, but they have no voice in the French government to-day, and there is no doubt that the French government would be absolutey neutral in case of war between Spain and the United States. M. Hanotaux does not sympathize with either of these parties, and they have not the slightest influence with him. He is a man of remarkable intelligence, an admirably equipped diplomat, always cool, knowing when to be firm or conciliatory, and the sincere admirer of our people and our institutions. He is equally friendly to the Spanish government and our government. "The fact is that if our government intends to take any decisive action which would lead to hostilities it can discard any apprehension that any Enropean power would taka any active part against our government. Alliances in European politics have become so fashionable that they become an almost important factor in settling ar.y European question, hut with us the case is different. No European power could have any possible interest in intermeddling in a question of peace or war between Spain and the United States.” Mr. Eustls, when asked his opinion of the present crisis, said: “I think w r e are inevitably drifting into a war. Prom the moment that Mr. Cleveland and, subs queenly, Mr. McKinley, asserted tho right of our government to intervene to stop the war in Cuba, I have never been able to discover any pacific solution of this question. I /would deprecate a war with Spain. But it is evident that the present situation is be’coming unendurable and that the American people are determined that this running sere in our international politics shall be cured.” , ElTeet on Stock Markets. NEW YORK, April 4.-The Evening Post’s London financial cablegram says: “The stock markets here opened strong today on the report that the Pope was mediating in the Cuban affair, and on the seflrHring of Chinese ports by England. Spanish fours rose to 51(4. A general reaction followed on a disbelief that the Pope’s mediation had been sought by the United States and the markets dosed dull pending definite news as to the acceptance of mediation by the United States. The buying of Americans was rather extensive to-day, but it was not influential nor discriminate.” PARIS, April 4.—There was a general advance in prices on the bourse to-day, owing to the reported mediation of the Pope in the Cuban difficulties. Government securities were principally in favor. Spanish fours leading. Spanish fours dosed at 5215-16, against 49% Saturday. BERLIN, April 4.— Business on the bour.te to-day was cheerful in consequence of (he report that the Pope had been called upon to mediate in the Cuban trouble. There was a sharp rise in the price of Spanish fours and American securities in London, which stimulated transactions here. At the close the tendency was easier on realizations resulting from the uncertainty as to the form of the Popa’s mediation and as to whether it would be accepted. LONDON. „April s.—The Madrid bourse takes a rosy view of the situation. Spanish fours have advanced four points. Cuban bonds. 188(1. one point, and 1890 a half point with other securities in proportion. Anxiety in Every Enropean Capital. LONDON, April 4.—ln the House of Commons to-day, Michael Davitt, member for South Mayo, asked if the report concerning the selection of the Pope a* mediator in the Cuban difficulty was true. Mr. Balfour, the government leader, said the gurcruaent bad

received a report on the subject from Madrid. but it did not bear out the statement in details. Replying to John Morley. who asked whether the government could furnish any information In regard to the situation of affairs between Spain and the United States. Mr. Balfdur said: “I do not know that I can say more than the question is causing anxiety at every capital. On lioth sides of the Atlantic there is a very strong desire on the part of the governments concerned to preserve peace, and anything we cun do will be done.” Denial from Cardinal (iiblion*. BALTIMORE, April 4.—Cardinal Gibbon* was asked to-day about his reported interview with President McKinley in regard to the mediation of the Pope in the trouble between Spain and the United States. He said: “There is not a word of truth in it: I have not seen the President for some time. Nevertheless, I hope for peace, and to-day, I am glad to say, the outlook appears to be better. War is always to be deplored, and history shows that as a rule matters have always been worse after it than before. .! he conservative and thoughtful people of the country evidently do not desire war and seefn to be united in the feeling that the whole question may be safely left to President McKinley, and in spite of a few excited folk, to Congress as well.” No Armistice Proclaimed. LONDON, April s.—Owing to the strict censorship, dispatches are coming very irregularly from Madrid. Late to-night was received the following, filed at Madrid at 6:30 last (Monday) evening: “Up to 5 o’cloek this (Monday) afternoon no reply from President McKinley had been communicated to the Spanish government. No armistice has yet been proclaimed. It is understood that all Spain is waiting for is an assurance of the withdrawal of the American war ships after Spain grants (stricken out by the censor.) Question of International Law. LONDON, March 4.—Replying in the House of Commons to-day to Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, member for Y'ork, Mr. A. J. Balfour, the government leader and acting secretary of state for foreign affairs, said that the question as to whether the United States, not being a signatory of the declaration of Paris, would, in tho event of war with Spain, lie hound by the provisions of that declaration, raises an important point of international law on which a question might advantageously be addressed to the attorney general. The Kaiser Held Aloof. BERLIN, April 5. —The Berliner Post says: “The attempts at joint European interventioin between Spain and the United States failed owing to a divergence of view's. Emperor William declined to mix himself in the affair. It is doubtful if the United States, at the Pope's word, would consent to have a fat morsel torn from its grasp.” Significant Denial. PARIS, April 4.—A semi-official denial lias been issued of the report that Jules Camboil, French ambassador to the United States, had intimated to the American government that France would not intervene unless asked to do so by America. The denial is significant in view of tae report that the European governments are exchanging notes. “Doe Sifers” as a New Englander. Scribner’s Book Buyer. The London Spectator, in the course of a recent review cf Mr. James Whitcomb Riley’s "Rubaiyat of Doc Sifers” and “Tho Habitant,” and Other Poems,” by Dr. 'William H. Drummond, perpends thus: “Mr. Whitcomb Riley's poem, though not equal to ‘The Raggedy Man,’ by far his best piece of poetry, is very pleasant and natural. It shows us another charming and wholesome side of American life—that of the New England village. At bottom, <>f course. Englishmen must sympathize with this life and these people more than they do with that of the French Canadians, for it is so like their own. This very fact renders it, however, superficially less attractive. What we know is not so interesting as what is new. Still, the New England village life is, and almost must remain, very interesting to Englishmen.” Which seems to indicate that the reviewer’s Anglo-Saxon sympathies are stronger than his knowledge of American geography. This is not strange, perhaps: but who shalL heal the wounds of Boston a: and Indianapolis? *

President Diaz. Washington Pest. “When it comes to hard-working Presidents,’’ said Mr. C. C. Blackwood, of tho City of Mexico, "I do not believe there is one in the list who can claim precedence over President Diaz. He puts in more hours of hard toll than any of his clerks, and there is not a department of the government about the workings of which he is not thoroughly informed. A let of his time is taken up with the reception of tourists. Hundreds of them are constantly in the city, and the President gives them all a gracious audience. A good many are granted personal interviews. Each stranger speaks in the highest terms of his genial manner. “Last month was a record breaker in the number of visitors who sojourned for awhile in the land of the Montezumas. They came, mostly, of course, from the United States, and embraced millionaire capitalists, congressmen, Governors of States, and the like, many coming in private cars. Besides these a goodly number came from England and other European countries. Our capital is so thoroughly cosmopolitan that a man must come from a very distant clime who cannot find some countrymen to welcome him in Mexico.” Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK.
