TOLEDO, O., May 4-The BLADE CORE,
apondent at Lewiston reservoir gives
additional details Of the break. The
great Miami river has its source in Lew
iston reservoir and begins at the waste
way which broke, The first break took
away 100 feet OF the water break, and q
covered bridge l50 feet long which
spanned the Miami river only about
seventy-five feet from the reservoir,
This bridge was supported by heavy
piling driven into the ground eighteen
feet, but when the mighty force Of
water, covering over 1900 acres, and
making the second largest (the St.
Mary's being the lar9eat) artificial body
Of water In the world, struck the bridge,
these pilings were as matches and the
heavy wooden bridge weighing tons
was hurled down stream and LODGED
upright 200 feet from its original place.
The continual rush Of the water tore
away another fifty feet and there only
short time elapsed until the entire
county for three miles south OF the
reservoir was inundated and the dis
tance across the water east and west is
three miles, Colonel Perkins, chief en-
gineer, Colonel Bachteh, assistant en-
glneer, John 0'Connor, superintendent
OF division, and Hon. Frank McCulioch,
member OF state board Of public works,
are on the scene and doing everything
that can be done to repair the break.
Colonel Perkins places rough estimate
OF the damages at $4,000, The loss to
Logan county in pixies being washed
out and the displacement OF the large
bridge near the reservoir will amount
to $4,000. Farmers along tho river
will not lose much but their fences and
crops.
The water is still spreading over the
country around Lewiston. AS soon as
the level Is reached then the river will
begin to raise rapidly. This evening
will SEQ people between Dc GRAFT and
Sidney watching anxiously for the re-
suits and the high water mark will be
more than reached. Then those on low
ground will be In great danger. The
damage to growing wheat along the
river bottoms will amount to thou
sands OF dollars. Their warning has
been ample, and no great loss Of life OF
man or beast should result,

The AaOGiated PrtS Daily Worlds Fair SpsaiaL
CHICAGO, May 4,-lSrom the present
indications, the music trouble at the
Worlds Fair Is about TO become a
scandal, Evidence was produced at the
meeting OF the commission to-day
which tends to show thht Musical
Director Thomas not satisfied with
using coptraband piano, is bent upon
boycOttinR harps in his department.
That are made by firms making exhibits
AT tho fair,
Tho evidence was OF such forclble
nature that tho commission adopted
resolution directing President Palmer
TO appoint special committee to In
Yestigate tho matter. Just before an
adjournment was taken this afternoon,
Commissioner Lannon, Of Utan; got the
floor and announced that he had some
interesting evidence in connection with
the piano imbroglio which tended to
show that there was bribery and cor
rupIion in the music department OF the
fair. He then road two letters in sup
port OF the charge.
Prof. Wilson, Director Thomas agent,
was seen by reporter Of the Associated
Press in regard to the matter.
"Mr, Thomas will not talk about the
affair."" he said, "Itia beneath his dig
nifty To notice such trivial things. He
Is too great man TO even listen TO fool
ish charges. l will not allow any one
10 approach him on the subject"
The national commissioners are OF q
different mind, and many Of them do
not hesitate to say that il Musical Dt-
rector Thomas can not make satisiae-
tory explanation he will be removed,
When the national commission met
to-day II was decided that the council Of
administration had no jurisdiction in
the piano trouble.
Tho Sunday opening question will
probably be taken up tomorrow. The
talk that the local directors may at
tempt 10 open the fair next Sunday and
keep II open on Sundays to the close Of
thegreat exposition has caused good
deal OF comment among the national
commission even those who would
like to see the gates thrown open to the
public on Sunday say they will make q
vigorous protect against opening the
fair In open violation OF the rules.
The council OF administration has
determined to put stop TO the extor-
tionate prices charged by some Of the
restaurants at the fair. The public has
been making such loud complaints in
thematter that President Higgenbotham
and Director Schwab, Of the council,
made tour Of the eating houses to-day
to ascertain for themselves the extent
Of tho evil. They will report in the
morning, and according TO the state
ment OF u member OF the council the
restaurant keepers will either reduce
their rates or close up their establish

reached hcre that It Is officially an.
nounced in Havana that sartorious and
his followers have surrendered with his
horabs aud arms. They huYe all been
liberated on parole.
Tho latest information before this an
nouncement was TINT tue insurgents
were located between Puerto Padre aud
Manate. 1t wNs stated yesterday they
had been reduced by dOsertions 10 but
twenty-five, and they were pursued 10
closely by seven scouting parties 1t was
expected they would elthor surrender
or DO captured,
Almost complete reticence continues
to characterize every department OF tho
public service in Havana There Is
little doubt that tho uprising was pre-
mature and therefore tho movement
only received tho support Of the most
Impatuous and enthusiastic.
For this reason, too, II Is deplored, II
not actually repudiatod, by those
leaders whose we'll natured plans haye
been thereby frustrated. No public
meeting was held here last night, but
they state they have not lost hopes.
