ON THE IRRAWADDY.

We have been tied up to the bank
for the night. At dawn of day the
mist lies low on the river, and the air
is chilly, so that one instinctively turns
up the collar of his coat. Presently
the mist lifts, and the tropical sun
shines out strong and clear The
steam whistle sounds, the anchor is
weighed, and we are off. The scenery
is not exciting No snow mountains
rise on the horizon, and the banks are
rarely precipitous. The rich green
woods and the gray and purple noun
tains, the great expanse of level water,
recall the English lake scenery. but it
is the English lake scenery with the
color of Venice and the sun of fine
tropics Idly gliding down stream pass
gondolalike fishing boats, with high
carved steering chairs and fishermen
dressed in pink and crimson and yell
low, or dugouts are padded up stream.
with spot of brilliant color in bow
and stern Immense RATS of teakwood
from the forests slowly drift by to-
ward Rangoon. AS the day draws into
afternoon, sheeny tints of mauve and
pink shoot across the water and sky:
the sun sets gloriously; quickly the
land is dark, but for a wondrous half
hour sky and water are blended in the
gold and crimson of the afterglow-

! NEW YORK, April 2O.-A dispatch
to the World from Madrid says:
The government of Spain has COM
pleted, barring a few details, its pre-
parations for putting into shape the
contemplated reforms in the colonies.
Colonial Minister Castellanos asserts
that they are on the lines traced by
his predecessor, and passed March r.,
1885,
No definite date is yet fixed for carry
ing out the reforms. The government
will only decide upon dates after again
consulting General Weyler
The colonial minister says that his
frequent interviews lately with Pre-
mier Canovas were chiefly regarding
statements to be made in the royal
speech on the meeting of the cortes
in May, with view to exhibiting to
the country the real state of affairs
in Cuba, the cost of the campaign, the
intentions of the cabinet respecting
colonial autonomy and the relations
existing between the Madrid govern
ment and Washington. Much stress
will be laid upon the necessity Of con-
tinuing the efforts to improve
THE COAST DEFENSES
of the mother country and the colonies
and Of placing the army and navy on
better footing.
These declarations of the minister of
the colonies are much commented up
on. Madrid journals, the Liberals and
the Republicans freely express the
opinion that the Cuban reforms are
not likely to be satisfactorily carried
out by the Conservative party, which
has always fought them and contrib
uted to the failure Of the first and more
comprehensive home rule bill of 1898.
La Epoca and the other ministerial
organs have been instructed to say
that this evolution of the colonial pol
icy is not due to American interior
ence, but is truly spontaneous. Any
how, the reforms could hardly be put
into force during the rainy season,
which means a significant desire to
gain time by postponement for several
months.
1t is interesting to observe how the
idea is gaining among all classes that
the present Cuban war will be brought
to a close by some concession that may
lead to honorable arrangement for the
SUBMISSION OF THE INSURGENTS
pressure on the part of the United
States.
1t is significant indeed that La Epo-
ca now admits the feasibility of max
ing extensive concessions to pacify Gu
ba and that Ell impartial says today:
ut is evident that we must go beyond
the reforms already mentioned
La Epoca observes: THE Spanish
nalion alone might bargain upon the
basis of capitulation to put an end to
the painful war. but on the condition
i
ircursion of foreigners into our af-
fairs"

OMAHA, April 20.-A special to the
Bee from Moorfield, Neb., says: De-
tails of a flood which occurred in this
section of the state on Saturday night
show that it did great damage The
scene of the greatest damage is on the
=. & NJ, four miles west of Farnum.
The damage to the railroad property
far exceeded any idea entertained be-
fore the full extent of the effects of
the storm were realized.
Where the greatest damage oc-
CURED the track follows deep cut,
starting at the end of Plum Creek
canyon. The torrent of water came
through the canyon with frightful
velocity. When it reached the point
where the canyon intersects with the
railroad track, the current was di-
verified through the deep cut. The rail
road track, ties and roadbed were
swept down the stream like so much
driftwood. At the west end of the
cut the topography of the country
changes abruptly, and instead of a
deep cut there is a fill seventy-five feet
high and 200 feet long. The embank-
ment was washed completely away.
The steel rails were bent and twisted
by the violence of the flood as if they
were so much lead and big drainage
tiles weighing 1000 pounds were torn
out OF the ground in which they were
originally buried seventy-five feet
deep and washed down the canyon for
a distance of 400 yards.
All traffic is suspended. Wrecking
crews are at work on both ends of the
washout. About half mile of the
roadbed has been washed away, but
the wrecking crews will construct a
temporary track for immediate use.
All westbound trains are stopped at
Curtis, and those eastbound stop at
Eustis. Damage to property of farm
ers in the valley cannot yet be deter
mined. No lives were lost so far as
known.

RINDERPEST.
Its Prevalence Creates Much Excite
ment Among the Beers.

Its Prevalence Creates Much Excite
ment Among the Beers.
LONDON, April 2O.-A dispatch from
Mafeking to the Times, dated Satur-
day, says:
There has been meeting here of rep
resentatives of Cape Colony, Natal, the
Transvaal, Orange Free State and the
Chartered South African company, by
whom the whole of Bechuanal was de-
clared to be infected with the rinder-
pest. 1t was resolved that there was
necessity for combined action. A large
force of Beers, estimated at = 500,
is massed twenty-five miles from Mafe-
king (Which is on the border of the
TransvaaD with a machine gun. Their
purpose ostensibly is to prevent the
spread of the rinderpest, but they are
really there because another raid is
feared, owing to the massing of the
British troops here (to be forwarded
to Buluwayo). DR.. Jamesons raid
started into the Transvaal from Mafe-
king.
DR.. Duncan has telegraphed to Earl
