SPEAKER CRISP FOR SILVER.

aRe-Says 1t Is Bound to Win.
Kansas City, Mo-. April 2S.--A spe-
cial to the Times from Atlanta, Geor-
gia. saws: Speaker Crisp, who Is at
home In Americus, in an interview
with a correspondent to-day, declared
for the free coinage of silver. and gave
1t MS his opinion tlint the Democrats
should nominate Western man for
the presidency. In the course OF the
Interview, which Is quite lengthy, Mr..
Crisp says, among other things:
"There should never have been any
doubt us to my position on the ques-
ton. I made a speech for free silver
tso years ago, before anybody but poll
ticians had considered 1t. stand to
what 7 then said, and 1 have never
varied.
"Tle disposition Of the tariff clears
the way for the settlement of the Sill
yer question. That question" said Mr..
Crisp, emphatically. "is now fully be-
fore U.S."
"Will 1t be the issue before the peo-
pie next year?"
at will" said he, "and in such a
way that it must be settled directly,
not by subterfuge or evasion, but open
!y, SO the people may understand 1t.

ple in both political parties are In fav.
or of the restoration Of the free coin.
age of silver They are to-day behind
the free silver movement aud will push
It on to success and have silver re-es-
tablished to its old equality with gold.
"In the next campaign the rehabili-
tation Of silver will be the main and
controlling Issue upon which the Dem
ocracy will appea! to the people. The
platform 70 be adopted in 1896 should
declare for the free coinage of silver
direct, with n set Of principles respond
ing to the demands of the common peo-
pie. We should select some good man
from the West. some man with Il mill
tary record, identified with the domi-
nant sentiment that now controls the
party. The orIy fear have is. not
that people are not in favor Of free sill
yer, but that the free silver people,
who are in the majority. may divide
into fractions.
"I am." concluded Mr.. Crisp, ''in fav-
or OF the free coinage of silver as
have always been, and the Democratic
voters will declare for 1t next year.

third term. under any conditions, has
no basis. The people will not MAKE
that break In the record. His views on

GREAT CALAMITY IN FRANCE.
rrsmendous Flood sweeps Away Villages
-Bslieved That Ovor Hundred Lives
Were Lost.

Epinal, France, April 2S.-An enor-
nous reservoir near here burst yester-
day, inundating many villages In the
district and drowning numbers of peo-
pie. So far thirty-eight corpses have
been recovered. The damage done to
property is tremendous.
The great Bousey dixie of the Epinal
district of the Vosges, 1t now appears,
burst at five o'clock in the morning.
Tho cubic area Of the dyke il 100000
metres.
The whole region over which the
thousands of tons Of water swept In
resistless flood. is strewn with every
sort Of wreckage, and the whole country
presents a most desolate appearance. In
many places the early crops were
swept clean out of the ground and the
losses thus Incurred will be very heavy.
The list Of the fatalities increases
every hour. One hundred and fifteen
deaths have already been reported, but
only fifty bodies have been recovered
It Is believed that the death list Will be
greatly in excess of the figures above
given when all the districts are heard
from. It is supposed that many Of the
dead were swept into isolated places,
where 1t will be long time before the
bodies are found.
Tho prefect of Verges estimates the
number of victims at lit. This loss OF
life is probably under-estimated, as
news has not yet been received OF the
parish of Frizen, which the torrent
passed. The sound Of the bursting or
the dam was heard several miles away.
The great rush of water lasted about
fifteen minutes, when 6,OOO,OOO cubic
meters of water had passed through the
break.
A stone cutter who had just com
menced work a short distance from the
reservoir, saw the front of the wall,
sixty feet high and from 100 to 100
yards long, come down almost Instant
iy. The water poured down the valley
forming bore about sixteen feet high
A thorough system for relieving the
needs of the homeless people has been
adopted.

Managua, Nicaragua, via Galveston,
April 29.-The commander of the Nicar-
aguan troops on the mainland Of NJ
caragua, reported at 0 o'clock this
morning that tho British flag was still
floating over the public buildings Of
Cor.nto, and that the port remained In
possession of tho British warships
Among the Nicaraguan troops and pop
ulace. the greatest excitement prevails.
and The feeling against Great Britain
Is increasing in bitterness every hour.
Some OF the European consuls here
nre using their good Offices with the
government Of Nicaragua in an attempt
TO persuade the latter to submit to
Great Britain, pleading In support Of
their arguments the fact that the Uuit-
ed Stutes has determined to remain neu-
trail, and that Nicaragua is helpless
wlieE opposed to such power as GrGa:
Britain.
A special from Corinto says: Taking
advantage Of the uneasiness manifest.
ing itself throughout the republic, the
opposition party is making an attempt
TO overthrow the present administra-
tion by force of arms. The government
Is aware of the scheme. and is adopting
measures tc nip 1t In the bud. Martial
law has been proclaimed, and recruits
are being enrolled.
1t is reported that the British consul
has been handed his passports. The
governor Of the Mosquito territory has
been recalled. but refuses to surrender
his authority unless compelled TO do so
by force.
A dispatch from San Juan del Sur an.
nounces that the Wild Swan has ar
rived there. There is reason to be-
lieve that the English will retaliate for
the closing Of the port of Corinto by
blockading San Juan del Sur, Greytown
and Bluefields. The running Of all

offered for sale here the other day,
Captain John Irving Of Victoria, b. c.,
was the highest bidder at a low figure.

rejected the bid, but on entirely unex-
pected and peculiar grounds.
Word received here to-day from
Washington city states that under no
circumstances, whether the bid was
high or low. would vessel of this gov
ernment be sold to aliens. Irving was
formerly a citizen Of this country, but
recently Is said to have declared allie

formerly manager on Puget Sound for
the Pacific Coast Steamship company.
1t is understood he intended to run the
Hassler between ihe Sound and Mexi-
