THE CUMBERLAND BOOMING.
The Cumberland River out OF her Banks
and Doing Much Damage.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March lI.-Thc phe-
nomenal rise in the river continues and 1T
o'clock this morning the guage read
1876 rise since Friday morning of $50
feet. Much more damage has been done
by reason Of rapidity of rise than would
otherwise have occurred Probably be-
tween 800 and 1000 people have been
driven from their homes and goods in
warehouses and cellars suffered much
damage AS viewed from the bridge, the
river is vast, angry and torrent, spreading
out over low lands.
Nearly all the lumber yards are over
flowed and in some, considerable loss will
result. The river has brought out vast
amount of raft wood and it is passing
the city in great quantities. During the
day it was gaining slowly and steadily
The merchants were busy all day remov-
ing goods from cellars and warehouses
near the wharf to higher ground. 1t is
estimated that there are between 800 and
800 families in the city that have been
driven from their homes by high waters.
AT the police headquarters many inqui-
ries for shelter is being made. Reports
from all points on the river shows that
it is rising everywhere, and the fulness OF
the Ohio and Mississippi will prevent the
Cumberland from running down as
rapidly as as it otherwise would.

WAR WITH ENGLAND.
England Preparing for any Emergency.

MONTREAL, March l2.-An officer of the
British navy says there is more significance
attached to the approaching visit of Lord
Wolscley to Canada than is usually be-
lieved. Wolselcy will at once proceed to
the Pacific coast with Gen. Herbert, and
inspect the defenses of British Columbia
and the navy yard:
They will remain at Victoria until the
United States gives the ultimatum with
regard to Behring Sea question. The
officer said that lie would not be surprised
to find Great Britain and the United States
at way before the year is out. The British
Government has been remaining quiet in
view of the possible liberal party in
Canada getting into power, through whom,
Lord Salisbury believed, more satisfac-
tory settlement of the matters i'll dispute
could have been more in the DIRECTION OF
intensifying hostilities than eitecting re-
cancellations In conclusion he said that
the activity about British dock yards
clearly shows that England was preparing
