and rapidly approaching the danger line.
| About another foot of water will submerge
some of the low lands and inundate a
part Of the bottoms on the Illinois side.
Much apprehension is felt for property on
both sides of the river, and measures are
being taken to protect it. Old steamboat
men are now predicting a food Of unusual
magnitude, and say if the present warm
weather continues, and particularly If
there is much rainfall in the North, a
freshet equal to that of 1874 will be likely
to follow.
A River seven Miles Wide.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. April 25.-After a con-
tinuous rise since Wednesday the Missouri
river became stationary here yesterday.
The water on the overfiowed districts,
however, has been rising slowly all day,
and now covers more territory than ever,
the river being fully seven miles WIDE.
The worst, however, is thought to be over,
and by to morrow it is expected that the
water will begin to slowly recede. Yester-
day the river proper fell an inch, which is
encouraging. Several hundred water

Municipal Difficulties settled.i
PANAMA, April 25.-Dates from Lima
are to the It'll inst. The difficulties i'm
minent between the provisional govern
ment and the municipal authorities of
Lima, who are Of Pierolas' appointing,
have been settled by the prompt action of
the new officers lately appointed by Cal
deron, without waiting for the courts to
decide the question as to whether Pierola
or Calderon was King. The new appoin-
tees promptly tool possession of their
states, and the old municipality, which
was hostile to the new order of things,
found themselves quietly showed out Of Of
fee. At the head Of the new city govern
ment is Col. Canevaro, q gentleman of
| great wealth and excellent character, Ole
of the few officers of the Peruvian family
who have made 3 really honorable record
during the wretched war. The change in
the city government is assured tranquility.
In the central departments, loyal adhesion
Of people to the new government; in the
north and south, however, new elements of
confusion and anarchy have arisen. Men,
teroin, Copamarca and Solar, in Arequipa,
have declared in favor of Pierola's govern
ment, and denounce as traitors worthy of
death all Peruvians who are disposed to
make with Chile. Neither of them has
| sufficient force to resist a single Chilean
regiment, and their manifestos are power
less, so far as exciting formidable opposi-
ton or resistance to the Chileans, but they
have their effect in restraining the volun-
tary expression Of opinion by the respecta.
BILE people in their different localities.
