A PAN-AMERIcAN REPORT.
Views of the Committee on Telegraph
and Steamship Service.


and Steamship Service.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Atthe meet
ing of the Pan-American conference
Monday report was received from the
committee appointed to consider the best
means of extending and improving the
facilities for commercial, postal and
telegraph communication between the
several countries that border upon the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea-
The committee says the telegraphic
service meets all requirements, and is to
be considered satisfactory. Gable COM
munication is by two lines from the
United States to the republics of the
south. Present rates make it practically
impossible to do business over these
lines, and the committee recommend
that steps be taken to secure a moderate
scale of charges. This failing then
charters should be granted to independ-
ent cable companies, the maximum tolls
to be fixed in the charters.
The committee says that plans have
been discussed by capitalists in this
country for the establishment of direct
and rapid steamship service between
Tampa Fla, and Mobile, Ala, and the
ports of Colon, Port Limon Costa Rica)
and Greytown, Nicaragua. Such a line
would shorten the time of transporting
mails from New York or Chicago to
Colon to six and half days, the steam
ers making stoppages en- route to Port
Limon and Greytown.
The plan above suggested proposes
that the steamers, if the line is estab-
lished. shall visit the city of Mobile reg
ularly to deliver and receive freight
after having landed their mail, pas
sengers and freight at Tampa. Similar
lines connecting New Orleans with the
Caribbean ports are suggested by the
committee.
The committee in conclusion recon-
mends to all nations bordering on the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea
the granting of government aid in the
establishment of first class steamship
service between their several ports upon
such terms as they may mutually agree
upon, with reference to the service
required, the aid lit is necessary to
extend, the facilities it will severally af-
ford them, the basis upon which they
are to contribute, the amount that each
is to pay, the forms of agreement be-
tween the several contracts with steam
ship companies necessary to the success

Flood, and a Big One, Too.
NEW YORK, March Is. "A special from
I3t. Louis to The Times, Monday said:
There is going to be food, and a
very serious one, in the country along
the Mississippi There will be great loss
to property, and probable loss of life.
The Ohio and Its Tributaries.
The Ohio and its tributaries are very
high; the upper Mississippi and Missouri
are high, and rising here and above, and
rain has been falling here and in the
northwest. The snowfall in the noun
tains has been very heavy, and the mild
winter makes it certainty that this
snow will melt early.
Situation at Cairo.
The situation at Cairo has been grow
ing more serious daily, and may be said
to have reached q crisis. The country
for miles is under water, and hundreds
of people whose homes are in the bot
toms have sought refuge ia the high
lands. Hundreds of farms in Missouri,
Illinois and Kentucky are compile teIy
submerged.
In many cases famiRes are living in
boat houses or RATS, while in other in
stances, people whose houses are on
slight elevations, stick to them with
water all around There has been great
loss of live stock, but no human lives
have yet been lost
More than half of the city of Cairo is
submerged, and business is paralyzed,

by boat. The levees in the vicinity still
stand the strain, but the water backs"
up in the rear doors OF the city as it
were.
Lsvses Not Safe.
Great efforts and thousands of dollars
have been spent oa the levees along the
lower Mississippi. and the boasts of the
contractors made the people believe they
were safe. There certainly has been
good work done, but chain Is only as
strong as lbs weakest link. The people
here were aroused to a knowledge of
this fact by the breaking of the leves
near the town of Arkansas City, where
the embankment was built almost
wholly Of sand.
When the. water once got through
there seemed to be no stopping of it, and
within twenty -four hours there was
crevice sixty feet wide and rapidly
widening. The breaks Let the water in

SUFogeO man MiAAlOns
CINCINNATI, March 12 About a. m.
Tuesday flames were discovered burst
ing from the windows of Stern, Mayer
& Company's five-story building at the
corner of Third and Vine streets. The
building was occupied by Stern, Mayer
& Company, one OF the leading clothing
manufacturing firms in the city and the
Nonotuck Silk company.
A general alarm was at once turned in
and the fire department was soon hard
at work.
As usual the effective use of ladders
was hindered by the network of wires.
The firemen had to content themselves
with short ladders to the second and
third floors, and with throwing streams
of water from the street.
About l 30 the flames crept into the
Nonotuck Silk companys part of the
building, but luckily did not do much
damage.
The salvage corps did good work in
covering stock with tarpaulins and pre-
venting damage by water,
For time there were fears that the
handsome Enterprise building adjoining
was doomed, but the efforts of the fire
department were successful in prevent
ing this, and beyond a slight damage by
water the building escaped. The fire
occasioned intense excitement st the
Burnet house, where guests in hurried
attire rushed from their rooms, and were
persuaded with difficulty by their host to
stay in the hotel. which was in great
danger from the intense heat. The out
side woodwork was blistered, windows
cracked and fell out, and some Of the in
side shutters caught fire.
Strange to say, the solid, six-story
Sinton building on Vine street, occupied
by Abe Bloch & Company and Rinds-
kopf, Stern, Lauer & Company, escaped.
although only narrow space of three
feet separated it from the doomed build
ing.
The ruined building is owned by
Stern, Mayer & Company, and is valued
at $150,000. The members of the firm
are B. Stern, Louis Mayer, Jacob
Scheuer, Alex. Offner and Theodore
Mayer. B. Stern, senior member, places
the loss to stock and fixtures at $3.50, 400,
on which there is insurance to the value
of $250,000
Two firemen were seriously injured,
one by falling cornice, and the other
by his engine being struck by backing
freight car while on his way to the fire.
The latter had his skull fractured,
Fire Marshal Hughes says he thinks
the fire was caused by electric wires.
