At Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 9-Secretary LIN
coin to-day received a telegraphic report
from Captain Lee in regard to the damage
and suffering caused by the flo ds in the
Mississippi valley. Captain Lee says: "'The
overflow is the most disastrous and wide
spread that ever occurred, and the desti-
tulion resulting is corresponding great.
The very lowest estimate of the destitution
is placed at Is 600 persons. Many residents
in the back counties have taken r,fuge in
cities and their immediate wants are pro-
vided through local aid from Tunica county
to Greenville. People are com pelled to take
refuge in such buildings as are left standing
on the levees. In most cases the only means
of communication is by skiff5. With the
100000 rations already sent, the 10000 now
on the way from St. Louis, and with the 10.
cal aid furnished by Mississippi, the desti-
tute in the district can be provided for until
the Goth instant. Everything shows that the
destitute must be cared for at least thirty
days from date, which will require an
additional twenty days rations for $4,000
persons, making total of 100000 rations.
Many planters saw it will be five or six weeks
before any work can be done in the over
flowed districts-others say not before the
first of May-but just as soon as work can
be commenced i would advise that the issue
of rations cease"
Lieutenant V,dder telegraphs the secre-
tary of war the situation in Arkansas, and
says that the ssfferings OF the people are
very great that the government relief saved
the lives of many, and that not less than
1000 people will be dependent upon charity
until another crop. The continued rains
have added to the general depression.
The secretary of war has been in consul
tstiou with the Senate Military Committee
which will probably report in favor of an
appropriation OF 100000 more in addition
to the 100000 already appropriated.

RUSSIA.
A VICTIM OF A NEWSPAPER sENsATI

A VICTIM OF NEWSPAPER SENSATION
ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-General Sko-
bslef called upon General Ignatieff, and
said when he addressed the Servian students
in Paris he was not aware that he was
turthering a newspaper sensation prepared
by the chief editor of La france, Camille
Farcy, whom he had known of old. The
address of the Servian students was due, if
not to the pen, at least to the collaboration
of Farcy. 1t had been prepared some four
days when he (Skobelef) arrived in Paris.
His reply was frank and unIeserved,
and such as was to be expected from
a man who did not suppose his word
would be made public. He had said moth
ipg, however, that was not whispered by
every one in Russia, even among the entorr-
age of the emperor. No one was more aston
isned than he (Skobeleff) was at the excite
ment his speech caused. Every one sought to
turn it to account, but more especially the
party which is seeking to return to power
in France; even Nine. Adam took hand in
it, to crafty her personal hatred against
Bism arck, who had insulted her as a woman
iu the journals he controls This his So
called speech, was printed on fly sheets and
Sc Mt to the regiments and fleets He was 30
overwhelmed with visiting cards and ova-
tions from officers that it was plain that all
thought war with Germany was immi-
nent. From Germany he received piles
of anonymous letters OF the most in
sulting kind, some accusing him of
cowardice for returning by way of Austria.
In reply to question from General Skobe-
left as to whether the emperor would send
for him, General Ignatieff replied that the
emperor had taken no part whatever in his
recall. It was simply an act of military
discipline e, with which his majesty had moth
ipg to do. General Ignatieff added: "This
will not prevent your seeing the emperor at
a fitting moment, like all other off ials of
your rank"

New ORLEANS, March S.-A dispatch from
Alexandria, La, says the levee there gave
way this morning.
A special from Bayou Sara says: "The
Point Coupse leyee, three miles above here,
on the west bank of the river, gave way last
night. This is a new levee and not yet fu-
ished. Yesterday cilizens cut the old delve
in front of the new work for the purpose of
letting the water against the new levee. The
cut became come 200 feet wide, and the
water rushed with such force against the
new levee that about ifty feet wss swept
away. The break in the new levee to-day
was 300 feet wide, and increasing. This will
food a portion of the Ialse river country,
iacrease the volume of water from Nor
ganzia, and affect the best lands west Of
Baton Rouge"
The only spot in the levees in front of
New Orleans about which any anxiety is
felt is Just above the railroad depot al Car
rollton. A guard is maintained there con-
stsntly, and the city engineers are on tee
spot. At the head of Canal street the gauge
shows the river to be still between seven and
eight inches below the high water mark OF
1874.
A rice hume caused a break in the Camelia
plantation levee, which was closed by hard
work. The rice fiume is said to constitute a
permanent danger.

Rangers by a Mexican General.

TUCSON, ARIZONA, June 20.-Captain j.
Ross, who, with his command OF fifty
rangers, left here two months ago, has re
turned. The rangers traied the remnant Of
the renegade Apaches two hundred miles
from the Arizona line into chihuahua,
Mexico. They counted nearly three hur-
dred dead Indians, many of whom were
found near the mountain trail. They had
evidently been wounded in the fight with
Mexican troops under General Garcia, and
had fed for safety. The body of Chief
Loco was identified by one of the party,
who had known him intimately for SIX
years,
On the first instant they fell In with Mexi.
can troops commanded by General Reyes
and were arrested and disarmcd. ard after
four davs were ordered to leave TIE Mexican
Territory. General Reyes informed Captain
Ross that inasmuch as he had authority as
a Deputy Sher fl fro m Ar'z qua, the lives of
himself and men would be spared. Ross
demanded a voucher for the arms OF his
rangers, which was at first refusel, but
afterwards granted. Gen. Reyes stated that
he had sent Col. Forsythe formal warning
that any BODY of armed men found on Mexi-
can soil would be shot, but he would make
an exception In this case. The rangers were
compelled to return through an Iodian
country a distance of 250 miles without 8
single weapon for self defense.
General Reyes admitted that he was aware
that the rangers meant no harm to the MC XII
cans and were after hostile Indians, but he
declared that 1t was a violation of interna-
fional law which he would not tolerate.
Advlces from chihuahua City state that
the Mexican troops had another fl hit with
the Indians In Elcincelss, in which fifteen
Indians were killed and twenty were made
prisoners. Five Mexicans were killed. The
report OF the killing Of Chief Ssnchos and
