Loss ofLife From the Bursting of the
Reservoir at Bouzy Will Be Great.
Paris, April 2S.-Reports from the de-
vastation caused by the bursting of the
reservoir at Bouzy were received this
evening. The loss of life is far beyond
the first estim ates and about 130 deaths
are known to have been caused by the
food last month. Scores of persons
are missing. Search for the dead bod
ies is still in progress. Thirty or more
dead bodies were buried today. Villages
and peasant farms in the path of the
flood are strewn with wrecks of buildings
covered with heavy layers of mud, and
more than 200 families are homeless and
destitute. The minister of the interior
has gone with staff of officials to the
afflicted districts to distl ibute money
among the sufferers. A large part Of
the valley is little more than morass
with trees ami uprooted trees protruding
from the mud. Soldiers are looking for
bodies in the debris andSmake only slow
progress. A part of the Bouzy tavern
was found today on the bank of the
Mobile, II miles5distant. The reservoir is
now empty. For several days it has
been above the normal level. but the
exact cause of the outbreak is not
known. Some think defect was in the
plan of the structure. which was verti.
cal. Others assert. that the masonry,
though originally strong, had been
cracked for years. The truth may not
be determined until an official investi-
gationi is held.
The Little Aviere brook, ordinarily but
seven feet wide, is converted into lake
mile and half broad. Soldiers and
workingmen are burying cattle and
sheep as rapidly as. possibly to prevent
disease.

Great Disappointment Felt in Nicaragua

Great Disappointment Felt in Nicaragua
Over the United States Position.
London, April 2S.-Advioes received
from Nicaragua state that the excite
ment throughout Nicaragua increases,
and great disappointment is expressed
at the failure of the United States to
secure some modification Of Great Brit
course pursued by the Washington gov
ernment was fully expected by President
Zelaya and cabinet, In view of.the in
formation furnished them by the Mic
araguan minister at Washington, the
people generally believed that the United
States would interfere. .s.
The Nicaraguan government is exert
ing itself to -restrain the populace. No
indication is given. .of.any immediate in
tention to pay the Indemnity, although
must sooner or later prove very embar-
RAISING to Nicaragua.
n mir. Bayard's request for brief respite
that Nicaragua might pay the indemnity
in London,it is stated here, was refused
by Lord Kim berly. Had this respitelbeen
granted, Nicaragua would have borrowed
the money in New York to settle the
British demand.
British Marines Should Not Have Been
All owed to Land.
San Francisco. April S.-Speaking of the
Nicaraguan situation today. Governor. Budd
said the United States should never have
allowed British marines to set foot on the
Nicaraguan shore. The nations should
have been given warning that the United
states will see it's weaker sister republics
receive justice, and that we should stand
jealous1y on this 81 ound. Let war with tie
United States be tie consequence of aggres-
sion on this continent and there will be no
aggressions."
England Never Attempts to Coerce a
Powerful Nation.
London, April 2S.-The News will say the
quarrel with Nicaragua is small but one in
which decisive action is imperatively forced
upon Great Britain. Lord Kimberly acted
with the greatest consideration, and MIC
aragua presumed upon his 1orbearance.
There is always something odious in the
necessity of large state coercing small
one, but the small one has taken a mean
advantage of its smallness to put itself
persistently in the wrong.

Some Peculiar Rumors Regarding the

Some Peculiar Rumors Regarding the
Course of Germany's War Lord.
Berlin, April 25.-About SEQ sailors and
marines yesterday embarked on the iron
clad Kaiser for China. A rumor was abroad
yesterday that Emperor William had sent
the Czar telegram putting The German
squadron in the Pacific under the command
of the Russian admiral. Tyrtoff. The
rumor seems incredible. Such course
would cause an un1oar throughout the
German army ard navy. Rumors equally
startling arc circulated almost daily.
Changes in Germany's foreign policy are SO
sudden and astonishing, that even men sup
posed &c belong to the inner political circle
are often at loss for explanations.
The change of front toward Japan is still
unexplained. Official and semi official
newspapers are kept busy denying false re-
ports, but they fail to give clue to the
true policy adopted by the government. The
vii ulence of the canard fever was shown
clearly yesterday, when the government
found il expedient to deny the report that
the Greek iron clad, taking part in the kiel
fetes would be seized for the benefit of
Greeoe's German creditors.
Santiago De Cuba, April 2S.-Gen. Maceo
