attempt at suicide, and he is now
securely bound, He seems to be a

allied in the United States. He
passed II week, last October, in Liv-
erpOol, apparently trying TO ascertain
whether it wovld be best for him to
put his internal machine ON board
the steamer there or in Bremenhaven.
The humber killed by the explosion
has already reached eighty, aud a
number Of those injured are not ex-
pected to ecover. Forty corpses
were buried on Tuesday, together
with some chests filled with the
unidentified fragments of bodies.
The number of killed and wounded
is now estimated at $50.

Our Points at Issue.

The present aspect Of Uncle Sans
relations with Spain, may Ire set
forth af follows: The United Staiee
asks that in future all American citI-
zens in Cuba, accused Of violating
Che laws, shall be tried by II civil
court and not by . military tribunal.
with all the rights insuch cases as
are secured by the seventh article oi
the treaty of 1875, and that all sen
fences where American citizens have
been tried by military tribunals, shall
be annulled.
Spain, in some degree, comedies the
claim Of the United States to the first
proposition, agreeing that in future,
American citizens accused of viola
tions of the law shall be tired by
ordinary tribunals, with a right to
witnesses and employ all other nee
essary safeguards, but with a rtserva-
be heard by COUNSEL, TO summon
ton that all such trials shall be ac-
cordjng to the law of 1921, which
provides for more expeditions pro-
ceedings than those of civil courts, for
common crimes in time of peace.
She also offers to revise all sentences
passed By court martial upon Ameri-
can citizens, where it shall be salts
factorily shown that SUCH sentences
are in violation OF established laws.
This reply is unsatisfactory to the
United States. 1t takes the ground
that American citizens, accused OF
crimes, cannot be tried by court mar
tial, but are entitled to trial before
civil tribunals, only us secured by
treaty stipIlalions, without such res
ervations as are proposed BY Spain,

What We Saw of the Overflow

Last Saturday, when the water
was at ihc very atop NOTCH" ana at
the invitation of Capt. o X. Jop-
lin, to take trip TO Ashport, and
view the overflow. We, in compa-
~ with a squad of seli.conslituted
river observers, got ABOARD the
Frank Forest, and took possession
OF ihP Pilot house and hurricane
roof, which We converted into an
observatory; and this is what We
saw: Having passed the Osceola
settlement we at last reached Bo.
runs Landing. Here we found
everything a'loat-storc, boats,
punchcons, rails, cord and
DRIFT of every description, the whole
ornarncnted Eith about fifteen or
twenty men, who had congregated
10 this popular place Of trafic in
skitls ard lug.ouIs. When the
boat stopped alongside Of Borum's
store bo9s, everybody unmindful Of
the danger Of beng washed off by
the waves, wanted % know whats
the river doing: - The Captain
having satisfied them on this all.
absorbing topic. we were again on
the way for Mil Bayou. Here,
the s,spa presented was truly DIS
tressing. Immediately on the
bank, or rather whore tie bank
ought to be, stood n house sur
rounded py water from three to
four feet deep. A woman with a
babe in her arms surrounded by
dogs, cats, chickens and calf, were
the occupants of the floor, which
was Just above water, while lot oi
rattle stood around outside IN the
water. The entire crop on the
Fletcher place was submerged and
will be total loss. We next
steamed across the river to Mr..
Crutchcr's place where our friend
Dir. Bighan had to make n call on
the Sick but owing to there being
no dry ;and in sight the stage plank
was showed out TO 4 stump, upon
which he was checked off as "sately
delivered. The accompanying cu'

We don't want To make invidious

here that Missouri girl has chest

in the back ground, aud Tor fear
you Eighl not be ab'o to tell the
Doctor from the carrier, we would
suggest tLa' you observe closely,
that the doctor has his pill box
swung over his shoulder aud wears
spurs. NilL this explanation we'il
go ahrad.
All the way up to johnson s
landing and from there TO Ash
port, the water MAS passing over
the banks and into the bottoms
back, and fully one third Of The
crops are covered by water; but
rs the water is not standing over
the fields it is not believed that
they will be very materially I'M jur-
ed, as 1t is only when the watss is
allowed to stagnatc that crops are
DESTROYED. At Ashport the same
scenes presented themselves wa
ter. water. Hero the people
brought abroad their chIcl,cns aud
ducks and shipped them to market
having no dry place to keep them.
On tho way back the boat run
down the chute OF 80 whero the
same waste of water was spread to
view the fare. on the Tennessee
shore presenting the same fearful
picture of devastation. At Crutch-
crs, the Doctor, who had minister
ed TO the comfort OF his Tennessee
patients was seen floating out m
the river Oh a log and tho Captain
rung the bell, and the boat check ed,
when he was lifted from his poul-
Gus perch, and safely deposited on
board, none the worse off tor his
novel mode of wishing his patients.
We are happy to state, in concin-
SION that all the folks we saw, and
who seem TO haye suffered mos.
from the effects OF the food were in
good spirits, and would crack q
joke or laugh at Is rctort with as
much nonchalance as though they
owned the whole of TIE Mississippi
Valley. A people with such hap.
py dispositions no matter what re-
verses may come, or. misiortunes
overtalie, will not tail to prosper
in tho end.
Taking a general survey and sum
ming up ol the disaster by food,
it may be safely set down, that
while personal losses are heavy
and depressing, the great bulk Of
the people are still safe.
In closing we would return our
thanks to Capt, O. X. Joplin and
his clever deputy, "Na'," for civil
itles ard courtc sIcs extended the
Osceola party while on beard, and
in behalf of the citizens in the inun.
