UPHEAVAL OF NATURE.
THE CITY OF BoGoTA IN IMMINENT
DANGER.
Undermined by Water and Mountains
Topping Upon It-volcanic Action
Creates Typographical Changes in Chile

PANAMA, via New York, May AID
vices from the city of Bogota, Colombia,
state ethat the Monserrate and Guada-
loupe hills threaten to slide on the city,
and the citizens are alarmed. The en-
gireers' reports show that the city is in
is&fainspt danger, as already. some
houses have been damaged, and the
center of the city undermined by water.
Regarding the floods in Lunahuana, a
district OF Chile, the Lima Opinion Ma
cionale publishes letter saying the
beautiful valley of Lunahuana has ex-
perienced geographical change,
and what was formerly beautiful
spot, is now desert. Fifteen craters
have been continually at work since the
latter part of March, throwing out
masses OF mud, which, in its precipi-
tate descent and with the monstrous
strength of the currents, is carrying
ruin in all directions, and sweeping
houses beforeit, together with the inhab-
ltants and cattle, vineyards, farms and
irrigation works. All the roads north
and south of Lunahuana have been
converted into bitches, through which
water is continually pouring, and all
communication between Canete and
Chinchais interrupted, while the bridge
across the river has been swept away.
There are numerous victims who have
suffered by the destruction of all the ir-
rigation bitches. In fact it will be i'm
possible to gather the remainder OF the
crop of grapes, and the certainty that
the necessities of life will reach famine
prices, has led to the suggestion that
the government should take steps on
behalf of the residents. Hundreds of
families have been left without homes
and are camping out on the hillsides.
The recent attempt at rebellion in Bo-
livia has been suppressed. Now it is
stated that an attempt to assassinate the
president has been discovered. A num-
ber of soldiers are found to have been
supplied with ball ammunition for the
purpose.
PARMA, May "A rise in the price of
bread caused riot here, today. Women
marched in a procession to the town
hall and demanded reduction in the
price. A few were arrested before the
crowd was dispersed.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The following
dispatch was sent by Secretary Blaine
today to Porter, American minister at
Rome:
A series of statements addressed to
Marquis Imperiali by Marquis Rudini
were telegraphed from Rome yesterday,
and published by the Associated Press
in the United States today. The only
part Of Rudini's communication which
this government desires to notice is the
one here quoted, namely:

by Secretary Blaine April 4th Its Psrusal

telegram of mine communicated to him in
strict confidence in order to get rid of the ques
tion clearly defined in our official documents,
which alone possesses diplomatic value.
The telegram March 14th, concerning
whose public use Marquis Rudini COM

in full in my note of April 14th, to Mar
quis Imperiali at Washington:
ROME, March Oath.
Italian Minister, Washington
Ourrequests OF the federal government are
very simple. Some Italian subjects, acquitted
by American magistrates, have been murdered
in prison while under the Immediate protection
of the authorities. Our right, therefore, to de-
mand and obtain the punishment of the MUIR
derers, and indemnity for the victims, is un-
questionable. wish to add that public opin-

provisions were not made at once. should find

unable to obtain Justice,
Signed RUDINI.
The intimation of Marquis Rudini
that the telegram in question was de-
livered in strict confidence, is total
error. His telegram expressed the de-
mand of the Italian government; it was
impossible Marquis Rudini could trans
init it in strict confidence. AS already.

THE FOURMIEs AFFAIR.
Widest Excitement in the French Cham
her of Deputfes.

Widest Excitement in the French Cham
ber of Deputies.
PARIS, May At was announced yes
terday that section of the left would Join
with the Socialist and Boulangist depu-
ties, demanding vote of censure, to-
day, against Constans, minister of the
interior, on the ground that the latter
Is responsible for the slaughter of men,
women and children shot down by troops
at Fourmies on Labor day. Constans,
today, after replying in explanatory
terms to a question as to the Fourmies
affair, and giving bis version of the mat
ter, holding that neither the governor
nor the troops were to blame for the
disaster, was astonished to see Roche,
the deputy representing the seventeenth
electoral district of the Seine, spring to
his feet and shout fiercely: Murderer !"
A tremendous sensation followed.
Finally order was restored, and the
chamber voted that Roche should be
excluded from any further participation
in today's session, and that he should
be censured by the chamber for the
term he had applied to the minister of
the interior.
f} ROCHE FoRCIBLY ELECTED.
No sooner was this action decided
upon, than Roche sprang to his feet,
and shaking his fist at those of his as
sociates who had been most active in
bringing about his proposed expulsion
and censure, the angry deputy yelled :
"You are a lot of varlets, worthy your
master"
This was more than the presiding Off
Ger could submit to, SO he ordered Roche
removed by force from the chamber
This was eventually done, amid the
widest scenes ever witnessed in the
chamber of deputies.
The chamber then, by vote of 356 to
33, declared confidence in the govern
ment.
THE FoMENT AT FoURMIEs.
FouRMEs, May 4.-The situation here
today is grave. The greatest excitement

dynamite for use against the troops here.

tity OF dynamite destined Tor the people
OF this town was seized while being
smuggled across the frontier from Bel
GUM.
Cavalry pickets will be stationed all
along the route of the funeral procession
OF the victims of the May day massacre,
for such is the term applied to the
tragedy by the people here. The gov
eminent has sent two delegates here
with. instructions to make a thorough
inquiry into the causes which led to the
disturbance on Labor day, and into the
action Of the officers who ordered the
troops to fire on the people.
FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS.
The funeral procession was very long,
being participated in by large number
of workmen's clubs, with red and black
flags draped. The nine coffins were sur
rounded by the relatives of the victims.

arrivals, is indescri5able. All speeches
and pamphlets il favor of the Jews are

out. Kimberly's motion was rejected,
as was also motion by Herschell that

bilrgh. He stated that Williams, in
1879, pronounced cargo of American
cattle free from disease, and afterwards
they were found to be diseased.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

This committee considered and recon-
mended for payment bills aggregating
S25s. 90. Additional bills, footing up
S327.12, on account OF repairs to the
chemical engine house, were laid aside
for investigation at another time.
An advertisement was ordered in
serted for bids for tearing down the old
Vigilant engine house, and the bid of
Clark & O'Neal, to do the work for $40
was tabled until other bids could be re-
ceived. Charles Hamilton was en-
ployed to draw plans and specifications
for a new engine house, and resolu-
tion was adopted, asking Council to ap-
point three commissioners to fix value
upon a strip of land six feet wide, be-
tween Sixth street and Alley 3, to form
new alley in the rear of the new en-
CINE house, the property owners agree
ing to donate six feet additional free OF
cost to the city.

CINE houses were ordered made, and MIR.

house, was ordered to procure suita-
BILE horse for the hook and ladder CON-

ported that they had made a. tour of the

was in pretty bad shape, there being a
lame horse in about every house.
The City Solicitor was asked to see
what measures would be necessary to
put the control of the fire plugs within
the fire department.

both factions were continually armed
with Winchesters and revolvers. The
number of persons who were killed has
been grossly exaggerated, and l have
never read a correct report Of the
trouble. The total number of people
killed in both families was nine, six
McCoys and three Hatfields.
A ROMANTIC STORY
of a reunion of the two families at the
marriage of Hatfield to Mccoy has
been published in Wheeling by the IN
teltigencer and telegraphed to the New
York Herald, but it is absolutely
untrue. The only thing which settled
the feud was the death of all the
McCoys. Just three weeks ago, Frank
Phillips and John C. France, members
of the Mccoy faction, got into fight
with a man named Woodford, and
France was killed."
Rev. Toler said that the Hatfields
were still armed, fearing arrest from de-
tectives, and that they are determined
not to be taken alive. There are four
teen menbers of the Hatfield family
living, for three of whom a reward has
been offered by the Governor of Ken
lucky. He deprecated the circulation
of the exaggerated stories by sensation
al newspaper correspondents. He also
said that a detective had told him to tell
"Old Anse" not to go to sleep, as they
were still after him.

The Committee on Buildings and Grounds
on Their Annual Tour.

The Committee on Buildings and
Grounds of the Board of Education,
made their annual tour Of inspection OF
public schools yesterday. This is a
trip that is taken every year TO see
what is required in the way OF repairs
to be carried on in the summer vacation,
so that money may be appropriated &C
cordingly. The members oil the COM
mittee who made the rounds were
Messers. Miller, Pipes. PAUL, Eberling
and Hubbard They were accompanied
by Superintendent Anderson and Clerk
Hall.
The committee drove around In car
riages, and the first school visited was
Washington School. This school was
found in fairly good condition, little be-
ing required outside of some repairs to
the furnaces. AT Madison School there
was leak in the roof to be repaired,
and some new walks needed about the
grounds. Lincoln Schools principal
desire was for partition in the hall,
and at Clay School it was found there
were repairs needed to the janitor'S
house, and also some repairing OF the
stairs in the school. Some new seats
seemed TO be the desideratum at Union
School. also some blinds, although
nearly all the schools were in need OF
more or less blinds, and new or repaired
black boards had quite general call, as
did also whitewaShing.
There was found to be an imperfect
distribution of heat in the Fifth ward
school, owing to some irregularity in the
furnace, which will have to be RENE
died. General repairs, small in their
nature, will have to be made TO the
Sixth ward school. In addition to new
seats and some repairs to the roof, one
or two new teachers desks will also be
required. In the Eighth ward school
new seats will probably be introduced to
replace the present old-fashioned ones.
Richie Annex needs little else than
blackboard.
In short the schools were found in a
better general condition than for sew
eral seasons past, as at none OF the
schools was there repair item of any
considerable moment. This certainly
speaks well for those under whose i'm
mediate care the buildings have been.
The repairs will commence as soon as
soon as the term closes, and the works
in each ward will be looked after by the
members of the committee representa-
tive of the respective ward.
