THE SITUATION BEcoMINa WORSE.

LONDON, March 12.-The Daily NeIoS' s
special from Szegedin says: ''Since the last
telegram the water has risen in the town five

worse. Sixty thousand persons are with
cut Roof to cover them. 1t is feared
that the loss has been very great, and that it
will increase during this terrible night"
The foregoing, coming directly from the
spot is probably more trustworthy than tho
official account previously received from
Pesth. The recent violent attacks in the
Hungarian diet probably cause the govern
ment to make its reports of the disaster as
favorable as possible. Accounts of the disas-
ter received from Vienna say tue upper floors
of al the .ligh houses are crammed with peo-
pie, in momentary fear of death. It is
thought that some few of the houses which
are built of stone may stand.

Paiis correspondent says; The motion

the impeachment scheme, in order to secure
the support of a majority of the republicans,
must be couched in such terms that the De

ing the Judgment of any formal tribunal,
will be none the less condemned. Such an
order of the,day, it is thought, the right could
not vote for; but it would receive the support
of large majority of the republicans, and
would be adopted. Such will doubtless be
the issue of the debate -

Moses Implicated.

A Yakima correspondent of the W.
W. Statesman under date Of Feb. 2lst
says !:
Chief Moses and Smohalla implicated.
The truth gradually leaks out. The
Perkins murderers here, now begin to
divulge the fact that Moses and Smo.
halls offered them protection and assis-
lance while they were in Hoses couu-
try. They corroborate the recent con.
fessiou of Saluskin at Colville. Moses
told them that he had agreed to give
them up to General Howard. He said
that he had Ii d to Howard, and there
fore did not give them up. He told
them to resaain near his camp, as he
expected to fight in a few days. So,
from all the circumstances it is very
evident that Moses and all the tribes
along the Columbia intended last Sum.
mer to make general fight had they
been pursued at that time by the troops
or settlers. So it is plain to be seen
that all fair promises made by Moses to
General Howard, an likewise to Father
Wilbur, were "cultus" talk. and made
duly with the intent to deceive and
mislead the whites. Had General How
ard given them good general thrash

stead Of promising a new reservation to
them, it might have resulted to the
general good Of the country; but alas
