SERIOUS FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Towns Under Water-Bridgcs Carried
Away-Losses Heavy Everywhere.
fBy telegraph to the DispatchI

PrrrspURGH, Pa. February 17.-At II
o'clock this morning both rivers were
twenty-six feet above high-wateT mark,
and rising at the rate of seven inches per
hour. The high water is very unexpected,
and all the morning families have been
moving from their houses in the lower part
of Allegheny, as the streets are flooded to
the door-steps. The Pittsburgh and West;
ern railroad is covered IN the city, and all
travel at this end is stepped, while many
mills lining the rivers have been forced to
close down. Reports from the head waters
show steady rains, with the rivers still
rising and the lower towns flooded.
Bridges are being carried away in every d.
rection and the losses will be heavy: In
this city river-men say the food has been
fully as high as in 1884, when thirty-two
feet of water was reached and enormous
losses were inflicted in the low-lying por-
ton of city and river towns.
MoKEEPoRT, Pa, February 1T.-The
Monongahela and Youghiegheny rivers are
both over their banks and rising at the
rate of five inches per hour. w. b. Woods
lron-works, the National Rolling Mil, and
the Sterling Steel-Works are submerged.
Much damage has been done in the lower
part of the city, and many families are
compelled 10 abandon their hcmeS.

Continued Fighting Between Natives and
spaniards--Many Chinese Lost.
lBy telegraph 70 tse Dispatch.I

SAN FRANcIsco. February IA private
letter from the Caroline Islands gives an
account of further fighting between natives
and Spaniards, in which the latter were
worsted. Last November the Spanish Gov
ernor sent an expedition, consisting of
three gunboats and one transport, against
the village of Metealmei. The sailors and
troops landed, and after a loss of sixty men
made the natives retreat. The Spaniards
were reinforced and six days later attacked
the natives. The latter were behind bar
ricade and were armed with muskets and
two small cannon. The Spaniards were
badly repulsed with the loss of 100 men. IL
is expected that general uprising of the
natives will occur, and the Governor has
dispatched ships TO Manila for troops.
Australian papers just received state that
by the burning of the steamer Ramed at
Wuhu 900 Chinese perished.

meath the ashes and cinders are many
