ENCRoACH1Na WATERS
The Mississippi River Pats New Orleans In


The caving in Of the river banks, in
consequence of the fall of the
Mississippi, after reaching the highest
point ever known, continues as attract
i've as ever, and is becoming threatening
at New Orleans and other points. The
caving is caused by the river during
high water washing ont under the
banks, which does not manifest itself,
however, until the water falls. Ugly
cavings have occurred at the foot of
Second street, New Orleans, en-
dangeriDg the Illinois Central
tracks at the foot of Bar
racks and Hospital, threatening tho
garbage wharf at the Second District
levee on the west bank Of the river, car
rying away the pavement on front street
on it and nearly reaching the dwellings
at the foot of Saraparu, Enghien, Sew
enth, Eighth and other streets Should
1t continue the damage will be very
great So far it seems impossible
TO stop it. Piles have been driven in
on the banks Of the river, but have had
no effect The bank cracks in sections
of about ten by fifty feet falls into
the river and is carried away. Serious
caving is reported at several other points
on the Mississippi, notably at Pointe
Coupe, where 1t viii require the remov-
al of the Church of st. Francis and a
number of houses on new roads, which
are threatened with being swallowed up
by the river, and on the Atchafalaya,

Two Passenger Trains Come Together at
FUN Speed-TwO Killed and a Number
Injured.
Another collision occurred on the Mo-
non Sunday afternoon at II o'clock,
which resulted in the killing of two men
and the serious injury of several others,
one of whom will probably die. Passen-
ger train No. 8 that left Chicago Satur-
day for Louisville was delayed six hours
at Greencastle, by the wreck of the
bridge over Walnut creek, caused by
three cars being placed in a MonOn
switch by the I. & ST. L. road, breaking
from the train and running away, and
into the bridge. The passenger
train left Greencastle after the wrecked
bridge had been repaired, and was run
ming at high rate of speed to clear the
time of the north-bOund passenger train
No. 6. A change in the timetable of
the north-bOund train of ten minutes
had been made, and it is possible that
the south-bOund train had not been in
formed of the change, or if it had, mis-
apprehended The conductor of the
sOuth-bound was Peter Mcdonald; the
engineer was Arthur Byrne; the fire.

train were Mail Agent James Til
ford, of New Albany, and American
Express Route Agent John Blackwell,
of Louisville. John Bill was conductor
on the nOrth-bound train, and Robert
Muir, engineer, both of New Albany.
Both trains we're running at o tremen-
dOus speed, and when they came into
collision they we're at a crook in the
road thickly overgrOwn by high bushes
and weeds, that INSTRUCTED them from
view at the point where they struck.
So they came together with
such force as utterly destroyed both en-
gines and telescOped the express, mail
and one chair car, absolutely tearing
them into atoms. The killed are: Ar
thur Byrne, Now Albany, engineer Of
the south-bOund train. George Kohl, of
New Albany, fireman of the south-bound
train. The bodies of both these men
were buried under the two engines and
telescoped cars, and not recovered till
five o'clock Sunday afternoon.

CUBA MAY BE OURS.
Two Hundred Million Dollars
Would Buy 1t.
II the United States VIII Take the Island
Now, She Can Have 1t BY RelieV-
ing Spain's Distress.

Seniors Hypolito Murua and Policarpo
Munoz, the Special Commissioners Of
the Spanish Government, whose arrival
here some time ago to investigate possi-
bIlity of the United States buying
Cuba, are in New York at the present
time. They have, been to Bar Harbor,
where they had a lengthy conference, or
series of conferences extending
over three days, with Secre-
tary Blaine. From their ex-
pressiOns since they have re-
turned to New York Mr.. Blaine gave
them ground for belief that the State
Department would look favorably upon
any proffered negotiation looking to our
purchase of Cuba, but would not recon-
mend to the President the taking of tho
initiative. Mr.. Blaine's position in
this respect is due probably to the fact
that the country has already at differ
ent times made several overtures to
Spain for the purchase of Cuba, which
have invariably been negatived at
Madrid, and it would be throwing
dignity and diplomacy to the winds
to take the initiative again. Spain is al
ready governed by a Parliamentary body,
and the infant ruler is ruler only in
name. The deposition of Dom Pedro,
Of Brazil, has brought directly home to
the Royal family of Spain the early
probability that Spain will also become
a Republic in reality. The Nation is
sadly in debt, and the Royal revenue
once cut off by revolution, the Royal
family would be beggared.
The Royalists have seen their
relative, Dom Pedro, beg
CARED by the Brazilian revolution, and
are casting around for means to evade
such fate for themselves Cuba is the
only hope they have found that they
will not be similarly beggared. If they
can sell Cuba for 5000, 900, 900 or even
500, 900, 900 they hope to secure out OF
that amOut a sufficient sum to provide
for themselves against the inevitable
day when Spain will be pronounced a
Republic. Senior Murua said
to reporter when asked
what Spain would take for Cuba that
negotiations had not reached such
point that he could give figures or talk
about price. Would Spain take $780,
900, OO0?" was asked him 1T can say
that am positive Spain would give an
offer Of $500, 900, 600 serious cOnsidera-
ton. That amount would enable Spain
to relieve her financial distress and em-
barrassment settle her differences with
other Nations in Europe and take new
and higher place among them"

A MILLION JEWS

To BE Expelled From Russia, Whine
Those Remaining VIII He Compelled to
Lead n Mental Life.
The London Times says: The Russian
Government has ordered the application
of the edicts OF 1882 against the Jews.
These edicts have hitherto been held in
allegiance. According to these, Jews
must henceforth reside in certain towns
only. None will be permitted to
own land or hire 1t for agri-
cultural purposes. The order in
cludes within its scope towns and
hundreds of villages that have large
Jewish populations. No Jew will be
allowed TO hold shares in or work mines
Tho law limiting the residence OF Jews
to sixteen provinces will be enforced.
No Jew will be allowed to enter the
army, to practice medicine or law, or to
be an engineer OF to enter any of the
other professions. They will also be
debarred from holding posts under the
Government The enforcement of the
edicts will result in the expulsion Of
over one million Jews from the country.
