the Floods.
Lowell, Mass, March 3.-The flood has
reached it's greatest height and is now re-
ceding. The gauge showed twelve feet and
nine inches over the dam at midnight, aud

Belle Boyd Acquitted.

Montgomery, March s14.-(Special)- Belle Boyd, the famous Confederate woman spy, who gained such notoriety during the late war, was honorably &C., quilted before Justice Screws here today of grand larceny. Ex-Governor Jones, a gallant Confederate soldier, defended her, this being his first appearance in a magistrates court in twenty years, it Is stated The facts were that recently little theatrical company stranded here. Belle Boyd was the head of the aggrega- tion and leaving their trunks at the Mer- chants hotel as security for their un- paid board bill they departed. The com pany was reorganized at Talladega and had been playing there some days, when the proprietors of the Merchants hotel took occasion to examine the contents of the trunks, and, claiming to have found half dozen towels and napkins belonging to the hostelry among them, caused the arrest of the ex-Confederate spy and two of her company on the charge of grand larceny. Governor Jones pleaded eloquently- for their acquittal and the justice discharged them. The evidence against them vas trivial,iit be- ing alleged by the defendants that the action was taken to enforce the pay ment of the board bill.

Havana, March 4. via Key West, Fla March 14-Wednesday Gomez and Ma eco, who were in the province of Matan- gas separated, Gomez remaining in the vicinity of Jovellanos, while Maceo moved west. The government troops di- rected attention to Maceo, who showed a tendency to retreat towards Havana. The columns commanded by Generals Bernal and Prats. Colonels Vicuna and Inclan, Tort and Molina and the Almanzea battalion formed a combination to en- circle Maceo and prevent hssentrance to Havana province. The official an- nouncement was made at the palace Thursday of the combination of the seven columns. The result was anxious ly awaited. Yesterday the government announced that Maceo declined an en- gagement and entered Havana province. From other sources it is learned that Maceo discovered the combination. and with Lacret and Banderas forces, num- bering over 10000, fell upon the Almnaza battalion, which happened to be a raw one, recently arrived from Spain, broke 1t to pieces near Los Palos, rode over the remains and crossed the Havana line, leaving the government combination In the rear. Maceo passed south of Guines and struck the railroad north of Bata- bano, removed the track and telegraph wires from the trocha and caused con sternation in the block houses along the strong line. In the vicinity of Pozo-Re- dondo he burned two bridges, and was last reported going in the direction of Pinar del Rio line. General Weyler is very angry over the failure of the col umns to prevent Maceos return, es- pecially since he had just proclaimed the province free of insurgents.
 The government troops are now. being rushed west in pursuit of Maceo and the strong line is again being strengthened. There is no improvement In the situation only three towns in the western province, Pinar del Rio, Candelaria and Artemisa.
 In Matanzas many thousand acres of cane have been burned in the last ten days railroads destroyed and towns at- tackled There have been encounters daily. The rebels are more numerous than ever. The same is true of Santa 2 Clara and Santiago provinces General Weylers recent decrees are being rigldly enforced causing panic in many sections
 Walter Grant Dygeart, the American arrested and supposed to be the rebel leader "lSl Inglesito," Is still in jail at Guines. He is an innocent citizen. It is a case of mistaken identity. El Inslesito has been reported in two fights since Dygeart's arrest.
 Quintana, the American citizen taken at Guatoa, has not yet been released. The government investigation of the massacre has been dropped. The truth of the story published in the states has not been denied. The Marquis de CerYe- ra, who sent out the column which con- mtted the atrocities, was confirmed as alcalde of Marianao last Thursday.

giving this support railway will be con- structed for 100 miles southward from Wadyhalfa, and river steamers armed with guns will be stationed between the point where the railway will terminate and El Ordeh. The Nile at this point of it's course is navigable for light steamers for the greater part of the year.
 The British troops, if the real designs of the government are carried out, will advance in force up the Nile in August next. A contingent of the Indian army made up of Siekhs and Goorkhas will, it is reported, be likely to be landed at Suakin to operate in conjunction with the Anglo Egyptian forces and march to Berber. The London papers have ar ranged to send special correspondents with the expedition. It is generally con- ceded that the campaign will be a big undertaking, though the government is reluctant to disclose the whole scheme Simultaneously with the Dongola eXpedi- tion a Belgian Congo Free State force, led by Baron Dhanis, will attack the der wishes on the upper Nile. Acting with the consent of the British foreign office, Baron Dhanis has recruited 6S0 natives who have been drilled by British officers. These natives, who are splendid fighters and who will go wherever they are led without fear of danger, will join the Bel gian and Congo Free State forces.
 ''The English says the Volkstein, have a desire to get President Kruger to London in order to show Europe that the Transvaal is vassal state of Great Britain. The journey will humiliate the president and make him appear, not as D. ruler to carry out the wishes of the Transvaal, but as the tool of Downing street. The fact is that President kru- ger continues to puzzle English officials, for, while seeming to be all frankness and friendlness reliable advices report him to be secretly continuing his elabo- rate preparations to arm the Transvaal. It is matter of the greatest uneasness here that small groups of Germans, who are understood to be veterans, are sys- tematically imported into the Transvaal The artillery strength of the republic has been increased, and there are now a number of retired German officers at tached to that branch of the service.
 The Venezuela blue book, issued last week by the government, gets scant re- spect on any side. The Speaker says it cannot suppose that the blue book is all that Great Britain intends to place before the Washington commission. The government, it adds, has been served with amentable inefficency. If the country has to put up with a national humiliation the blame will rest with the officials of Downing street. The St. James Gazette says that the reply made in the house of commons last night by Richard Webster, the attorney general in response to a question asked by Sir E. T. Gourley relative to the alleged mis- quotations in the blue book, does not vindicate the British case as presented It adds that there has been no intentional garbling of evidence, but that 1t is inn possible to deny that there was care lessness in the preparation of the work. This has created the belief that the blue book is less cOgent and convincing in favor of the British claim than it really

AN APPEAL TO AMERICANS.
Colonel Jul, a Cruel Spanish Tyrant, Ar
 pointed Governor of Matanzas.


 Tampa, Fla, March 14.-The following letter addressed to the American press has been received here by mail from Cuba:
 If the government that unhappily rules the destinies of this unfortunate country should be true to the most ru dimentary principles of justice and mor- ality, Colonel Jul. who has been recently appointed military governor of Matanzas province, should be in the gallery among criminals. It is but short time since he was relieved by General Martinez Campos of the military command at Cienfugos, as he had not once engaged any of the insurgent forces, but vented all of his ferocious instincts against innocent and inoffensive peasants
 Tn Yaguari, a small town near Cien- fuegos, he arrested as suspected spies MT. Antonio Morjon, an honest and hard working man. and MT. Ygnacio Chape, who Is well advanced in years and almost blind Not being able to prove the charges against them, as they were innocent, he ordered Major Moreno of the Barcelona battalion, doing garri- son duty at Yaguari, to kill them with the machete and have them buried inn mediately Major Moreno answered that he was a gentleman, who had come to fight for the integrity of his country and not to commit murder. This dis
 
 nately a volunteer sergeant, with six members, were willing to execute the order of the colonel. and Morjon and Chape were murdered without pity.
 "The order of Jul was executed in the most cruel manner. It horrifies me to even think of it. MT. Chape. who knew the ways of Colonel Jul. on being awak- ened at 2 o'clock in ''le morning and no- tified by the volunt r chief of the guard that he and MorJoi. had to go out, sus- pected what was to come, and told his companion to cry out for help as soon as they would be taken from the fort They did so, but those who were to exe- cute the order of Jul were neither moved nor weakened in their purpose; on the contrary. at the first screams of Chape and Morjon they threw a lasso over their heads and pulled at it by the ends. In a few moments they fell to the ground choked to death. They were dragged on the earth without pity to the place where they were buried. All this bloody scene was witnessed by Jul from a short dis tance. Providence has not willed that so much iniquity should remain hidden forever. In the hurry the grave where these two innocent men were buried was not sufficiently deep. and part of the rope with which they were choked remained outside. A neighbor looking for lost COW saw the rope. took hold of It and on pulling disinterred the head of one of the victims. He was terror-stricken, and Immediately gave notice to the Guardia civil authorities and the judge. These authorities soon found out th9' the men had been killed by order of Col onei Jul. and therefore proceedings were suspended. .---, Continued on Second Page.)
