his assent or not, is not for me to say as l
do not know. l do know that two
months before the convention l spent a
pleasant and agreeable two hours at his
bedside. I told him | come as an envoy
from the people asking him to be can
didate.
He replied to me that he knew any
participations on his part in a political
campaign would XIII him before the con-
test was over; that if as l suggested, he
should remove himself from its excite
ments, he could not live and perform the
duties OF the president of the United
States three months. He said his course
was marked out, and when the weather
became warm enough for residence at
Bar Harbor, he should resign his office as
secretary of state and go to his summer
home, and never more have anything
whatever to do with political Office, and
that he would devote the remainder of his
life to his family and to himself"

MUST MAINTAIN SPANISH RULE.
Madrid People Demand Urgent Aotlon on
the Part of the Authorities.

Madrid People Demand Urgent Action on
the Part of the Authorities.
MADRID, April "A deputation Of
Cuban senators and deputies, including
several autonomists, waited upon Maura,
minister OF colonies today to protest
against the Cuban revolt. The minister,
replying, assured them the government
would not hesitate to make any sacrifice
to maintain Spanish rule in Cuba, but
that unless the situation became worse he
considered the colonial army strong
enough to conquer the rebels. Reinforce
ments, however, were in readiness to de-
part on the first intimation from the
captain general of Cuba that their assist
ance was required.
Madrid newspapers advise urgent action
to put down the revolt, and declare that
national sentiment demands that the last
remnant of the Spanish colonial empire in
America be kept at any cost.
Four battalions of chasseurs in Puerto
Rico. two battalions in Canary islands
and 5, 200 men in Spain are held in readi-
nefs to proceed to Cuba.

DAMAGED BY FLOOD.

The Small Rivers in Ohio Overflow Their
Banks-Heavy Damage Inflicted.
CINCINNATI, May 2.-The heavy rains
have ceased, cooler weather prevails and
the danger of a disastrous flood in the
Ohio riVer'is not now imminent, the river
now stands fifty and one-half feet, and is
rising only half an inch per hoar. The
greatest damage is along the smaller
rivers in Ohio. The Miami is higher than
since 1884 and the paper mills at Franklin
and Middletown were compelled to stop
work. Along the Little Miami thou
sands of acres of planted ground is sub
merged. Along the Sc1oto the same state
of affairs exists. The city park at Chill
icothe is flooded and the bottom lands
are all under water. Only the absence OF
a great rise from the headwaters prevents
an unusual flood in the Ohio river.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.
A Number of Reasons Why They
Should Be Abandoned.
FEARS OF SUGAR GROWERS.
Complaints ReceiTed by the State De
partment Of EvasiOns.
Tho Brazilian Government Is Making
Trouble but Is Apparently Not vioIa,-
ing the Treaty with Spatn-Ameri-
can Merchants Gain Little.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-An evening
paper has this: abundant reasons for
the abandonment of the policy of reci-
procity under the Mckinley bill, exists in
complaints received by the state depart
ment regarding evasions of the treaty by
Spanish officials in Cuba. The Spanish
government was forced into the treaty by
the diplomacy of Blaine, because of fear
that If Cuban sugar growers were deprived
OF their market in the United States
through reciprosity arrangements with
other sugar growing countries, they
would raise and revolt against Spain.
The government intends to make the
treaty SO unpopular that it will fall to the
ground OF its own weight, and has i'm
posed an excise tax nearly equal to the
duties RENTED by the Mckinley bill.
Our government will protest strongly
against the tax, or wipe out the whole
treaty and leave Cuban growers to face q
possible import duty under our new tariff.
The Spanish government has also shown
an inclination to make trouble on the
action regarding schedules on articles on
which duties are re iuced by the treaty.
The Brazilian government is also making
trouble over the reciprocity treaty but is
not apparently violating it SO fla
GRAVITY as the government of Spain. 1t
is understood that when the schedules of
determinations in favor of the United
States were made the general scale OF Bra
lillian import duties might be raised.
Brazil took advantage of this arrange
ment to raise the dutiable schedules so
soon as the reciprocity arrangement
was made and said she was obliged to do
so in order to obtain sufficient revenue
for carrying on the federal government.
The result has been very small net
gain to American merchants, while the
people OF Brazil are complaining of the
increased schedules against other coun-
tries, and reciprocity arrangements with
both Spain and Brazil would probably be
wiped out at once but for desire of the
administration to proceed with delibera-
ton and make our policy toward the
southern countries dependent upon the
revision of our entire fiscal system.

Bound for America.

New YORK, May 2-There is big rush
of immigrants for this country and sew
eral thousand are now on the ocean

ships leaving all foreign ports on and
after May 3, will be subjected to the new
system of questions on arrival and will
come under control of new board of in
spectors. To forestall this many have al
ready taken passage and they will be here
in sWarmS next week.
Ten thousand Italians left Marseilles on
eleven steamships which have just sailed
from that port, the Belgravia bringing
400. There are 1 300 more bound from
