PERlsHED IN A cLoUDsURST.
Parents and Children Swept OF by Sud-
den Flood in Kentucky.

Parents and Children Swept OF by Sud-
den Flood in Kentucky.
The cloudburst in the mountains Of East
ern Kentucky caused far greater loss Of life
and property than was at first supposed.
The first news was that only the
wife and daughter Of Wade Mar
ders, of Clay County, were drowned.
Word now comes from 0wsley County that
nine more persons were drowned In Buffalo
Creek The dead are Miss Mary Garrett,
George Gepsons, wife and three children,
two children OF Will Burns and two others
whose names could not be learned.
The storm passed from Sexton Greek across
the south fork Of the Kentucky River to
Buffalo Creek. The valley is very narrow.
and the water rose so rapidly that the
families had little time to leave their homes.
John Crane was getting out logs, when
he looked up and saw low wall OF
water bearing down upon him. Bis house
was about a quarter of mile above
the point where he was working. He
Ind hardly recovered from his astonishment,
when he saw his wife and child floating
toward him on some drfwood. Crane Is an
expert logger, and he spiked big pine log
and rowed out into the stream In time to
rescue his family. The child was not hurt,
but Mrs. Crane was bruised badly.
The devastation along Buffalo Creek Is
complete. Every house on its banks was
washed away, as well rs all the outbuildings
and all provisions for man and beast. The
south fork of Kentucky River is higher than
it has been for years.

Your favor Of March 80, In which you say,
In substance, that many Of my friends In
Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to be-
come candidate before the approaching
National Democratic Convention for nomi-
nation for the Office Of President. and re-
questing me to give "some authoritative or
definite expression" upon the subject, was
duly received and has been maturely consid-
cred. &c..
Many communications upon the same SUBJ
ject and of similar import have been received
from friends in different parts Of the coun.
try, and, while very grateful for these num-
erous expressions Of confidence and esteem
upon the part Of my Democratic fellow-citt-.
zens, have not been able to reach the cor.
clusion that the existing conditions require
me to comply with their requests by author
izing them to announce me as candidate
for the Presidential nomination.
While feel profound interest In the vel.
fare Of my party, am much more concerned.
about its declaration Of principles than In
its selection of candidates, because. In my
opinion. its failure or success at the election,
as we'll as its capacity for useful service to
the country in the future depend upon the
position 1t takes or omits to take upon the
public questions now engaging the atten-
tions affecting the monetary system OF the
country and the character and amount OF
taxation to be imposed upon our citizens.
Its position upon these and other subjects.
having beenagreed upon, and clearly and dis
tinctly announced, the convention ought to
have no difficulty in selecting an acceptable.
candidate who will fairly represent its views;
and, in order that its deliberations may be
embarrassed as little as possible by the con-
tentions of rival aspirants and their friends,
think my duty to the party will be best per-
formed by declining to participate In con-
test for the nomination. A
The obligations assumed when accepted
my present official position require me to de-
vote my entire time and attention to the pub
lie interests committed to my charge, and I
shall continue to discharge the duties Inn
posed upon me to tho best OF my ability and
In such q manner as will In my judg-
ment most certainly promote the true

are true, the reason why General Weyler
cancelled all passes held by correspondents
is plain, Owners of estates report excesSes
committed by detached bodies of Spanish
troops in all parts Of the island, and there Is
no longer talk of attempting to grind sugar
this year. The problem Is how to preserve
the lines OF employees and prevent wanton
destruction by the troops.
The insurgents have gained more In tine
past month than IN any two that have pre-
ceded It. WeYler's decree, compelling peo-
ole to abandon their homes in the interior,
has driven many peaceable inhabitants INTO
the insurgent armies.
The harsh measures adopted toward sus-
pects In cities and towns have also increased
The number Of recruits from families OF the
better class In cities. The landing OF four
important expeditions has given inspiration
20 the insurgents.
Their hopes were never brighter. Hot
weather Is already here and the rains are
MOI far of. The limited time remaining for
military operations this spring makes 1t
plain that Spain cannot crush the rebellion
before the wet season sets in, and the serious
problem of caring for the lives Of her SOL
diers presents itself. A Spanish officer says
that the losses of the army through fevers
and other sicknesses have been IL, 900 since
September, and over 5000 during the year
ending March 1.
Weyler's troubles with the politicians are
lust beginning. He has assured the home
Government that elections can be held In
Cuba, and now he has two parties. the Re
fornisH and the Autonomists, refusing to
take part, leaving tho Union-C Constitutional
or Conservative Spanish party alone In the
field. Rumors that Weyler will be recalled
are persistent.
