COMING TOGETHER.
Spain and America Said to Have an
Understanding

New York, April IA special to the
World from Madrid says: Political
and diplomatic circles in Madrid are
animatedly discussing the prospects of
future Spanish rule in Cuba, in con-
sequence. it is said. of an active eX-
change of confidential and unofficial
communications between the United
States and the Spanish governments
since Mckinley and Sherman took Of
fee. 1t seems Spanish diplomacy has
intimated at Washington that Spain
cannot entertain any suggestion of
American mediation to obtain the sub
mission of the Cuban insurgents and
that Spain asks only that the American
executive continue to check and punish
filibustering expeditions and separatist
juntaS and propaganda, whenever the
Spanish legation and consuls produce
sufficient evidence, as was done recent
~ in the case of the New York separ-
atist junta's correspondence with in
structions to Cuban insurgents. Span
ish diplomacy was authorized to give
unofficial confidential assurances that
if the American government did that
much Spain considered herself quite
equal to the task of shortly reducing
the rebellion to such a pass that the
Madrid government viii be justified in
the eyes of public opinion in Spain and
the colonies, to carry out West Indian
home rule in very liberal spirit. and
in it's wake extensive tariff reforms
that would make very easy afterwards
treaty of commerce between the
United States and Cuba, and Porto
Rico.
In the same way. the American state
department was given to understand
that Spain will. in the future, deal
more leniently with the separatists and
that when home rule is put in force
general amnesty will be granted. to in
clude all rebels submitting within a
certain period and all pol teal convicts.
prisoners and suspects exiled or trans
ported to Spanish fortresses and penal
settlements without trial.

The Reorganized Branch.

Lamont. Ia, April 14.-At today's
conference OF Latter-day Saints new
form of license was introduced. One
action requesting that the seventies
quorum be allowed the privilege of
using the church seal on the license
was defeated. 1t was ordered that Mr..
Sheaky be ordained president of the
seventies quorum. Reports were read
showing the great industry in the
church and the large increase in its
membership. Some changes were made
in the way of transfers from one quo
rum to another and ordinations to ad-
vance stations provided for.
Many of the candidates declared that
they had received premonitory in
formation direct from the deity. The
presidents of the church, the high
priests, the bishopric and the u apos-
ties officiated in the ordination Of the
candidates by the imposition of hands.

A Marrow Escape.

Havana, April 14-CVia Key West,
Fla.)-Banes, an important port on the
aorth coast near Gibra, from which
heavy annual expectations of bananas
and cocoanuts TO the United States
and which is the site of the estate of
Il. Dumois & Co., American citizens,
narrowly escaped complete destruc-
ton. The expedition under General RO-
loft by the steamer Laurada, carrying
2,400 rifles, 500,0 900 cartridges and sew
eral pieces. of rapid-fire artillery, landed
alongside the quay at Banes. General
Calixto Garcia, with 5000 men, came to
protect the convoy of arms and ammu-
milton, but as Roloff had no men to
arm, Garcia was compelled to carry
the arms into the interior. 1t is re-
ported that the insurgents, hearing
that Spanish gunboat might arrive at
any moment, closed the entrance of the
port with torpedoes. General Roloff. as
sisted by local bands and finally by the
soldiers under General Garcia, COM
menced to fortify the heights around
the port, hastily casting UP trenches to
make the port temporarily impregnable
TIC any Spanish forces in the neighbor-
hood.
The gunboats Neuva Espanas and
Mealicia had arrived at Nipe from Ha-
Vana- The cruiser Reina Mercedes had
left Havana on the 18TH with four COM
panies OF marines and infantry under
the command of Rear Admiral Maren-
co, to unite with all the forces which
had left Nipe and Gibara. with a view
10 a com bined land and sea attack upon
the insurgents position for the recov-
cry of the port of Banes.
Nipe is separated from Banes by the
San Ramon canal. Three columns
marched on Ranes. where they were in
full view of the formidable and nearly
impregnable Insurgent positions.
Reinforce1hents have been sent for
ward by the Spanish. and Admiral Ma
vario will sail tomorrow on the Legaspi
for the Caribbean and thence for Nipe,
to personally direct the attack by sea.
Evidently an important battle is in
sight if the insurgents try to defend
their advantageous stronghold and
their claim of being able to hold sea-
port.
Great anxiety exists with reference
to the garrison of 100 men in the fort
defending the quay at Banes. 1t is be-
lieved they will be compelled TO sur
render for lack of water and supplies.
The cruiser Pingon has twice been
compelled to break chains in order to
enter the BaneS port.

Omaha, April 14.-Tonight there is
by the Missouri river. and unless there
is an unlooked-for rise or a high wind
from the north it is not probable that
much more damage will be done. The
hastily built dyke that stemmed the
torrent from Florence lake on Tuesday
was greatly strengthened today and
has stopped the flow at the most
threatening point. The water has
spread all over the wider stretch of
territory and surrounds a few more
houses. but the change in channel OF
the Missouri has been averted, for the
time being at least.
Up till midnight last night the river
was stationary, but after that began
to rise, and at o'clock this morning
the gauge a Florence pumping station
showed a rise of nine inches. The wind
was Blowing strong from the south
and this materially assisted in main
tanning the repairs made in the leVee
along the south bank of Florence lake.
That still holds, but the second stream
of water which runs from the river
west of Florence lake is still pouring
into Cutoff lake. The banks OF the
river are holding better than has been
expected, but there is still great dan
ger. The government work boats,
which were tied up during the winter,
have been steamed up and were sent
to the breaks to do what was possible
to save Cutoff From all along the
river north and south of Omaha come
reports of flooded bottoms and the
squatters are fleeing in the night from
the angry waters. No loss of life has
been reported.
The workmen employed along the
levee struck today for double pay.
They were getting Is cents an hour
and demanded 80. Their demands were
refused and 20 quit work. Other men
were easily secured.
On the Iowa side of the river south
of Council Bluffs the water has mum
dated farms for a distance of three or
four miles back from the stream. The
water came up in the night and the
farmers report many hogs, cattle and
horses drowned.
The flood is the worst since the in
undation of 1881 and is doing immense
damage to property along the river
side. The flood seems to have reached
its height and will probably fall from
now on.

Absolute Union Only.

New York, April IA copyrighted
cable to the Journal from Canea says:
The Russian consul again inter-
viewed the insurgents at Retimo. The
most prominent leaders of the Cretans
is Sapaunjakis, who is related to high
officials in Athens. The chief insisted
that nothing but absolute union with
Greece would satisfy them.
They refused TO entertain Consul
Domeric's proposition to choose dele
gates from all parts of the island to
meet the admirals in conference at
some point distant alike from the ships
and Col. Vasso's lines It seems perfectly
evident that as long as Col. Vassos re-
mains in the island it will be useless
to confer with Cretans. who decline TO
believe that it is Europe's determine
tion net to give Crete to Greece.
"Gennadius addressed a letter to the
consuls complaining that his house at
Calopa had been looted by inter
national troops, and a quantity of
arms and other private property of
Greek subjects stolen. The committee,
on inquiry however, found that the
house had been entered three weeks
ago by Greeks, all of whom were
known to the caretaker.'

CONTINUES TO RISE.
Situation Along the Louisiana Lee
wees Acute

Memphis, Tenn, April 1.-THE river
continues to rise at Vicksburg and all
points south. and the situation along
the Louisiana system of levees is acute
The waters are being hurled outward
with tremendous force, and several
thousand men are working and watch
ing night and day in one grand effort
to hold the entertainments intact.
Reports from the overfiowed Missis-
sippi delta tonight are not encourag-
ing. The expected fall in the waters
that extend for miles and miles over
the fertile valley has not occurred
Many well known planters express the
fear that the yellow stream will not
recede until June, too late to plant this
years crop.
Much suffering still exists in the sun
flower and bogue phalia country, where
hundreds of families have deserted
their cabins and are huddled on high
grounds On a plantation, ten miles
west of Helena, Sylvester Sanders, a
colored tenant his wife and five chill
dren were overwhelmed by the current
and all persisted. Near Greenville to-
day two negroes were drowned in an
attempt to reach dry land.
Word reached VickSburg during the
day that many negroes were in immi-
nent peril at Davis island, where the
break in a private levee occurred yes
terday, and a relief steamer was imme-
diately dispatched to the island.
Throughout the overfiowed district
rain fell in torrents last night.
At Helena the downpour was of such
violence that great pumps were put TO
work in the lower part of the city. The
water gained so rapidly that the pumps
had to be abandoned as Impracticable.
The whole of the southern part of
Helena is under water from one TO four
feet deep, and those who had provided
themselves with boats were fortunate.
The pumps were started up again to-
night, and it is expected that the water
will be thrown out of the streets in
three or four days.
The work of relieving the flood suf-
ferers with the government funds ap-
propriated by congress for that pur-
pose is progressing smoothly. In the
two districts extending from Memphis
to Cairo and from Memphis to Helena,
local relief stations have. been estab-
lished and placed in charge of respon-

Will Hit Back

New York, April IA dispatch TO
the Herald from Constantinople says:
The porte has addressed a note to
the great powers drawing attention TO
the unreasonable action of Greece and
declaring that Turkey viii maintain a
defensive attitude, but in case of an
other invasion such as that of last Fri
day, and which was evidently prepared
with the consent of the Hellenic au-
thorities, the porte viii feel obliged to
command its generalissimo to act in
the same manner.
The porte also alluded to the enor-
nous expense attendant upon the hos
tile attitude of Greece and minated
its intention of asking the support Of
the great powers in claiming an in
demnity from the proper quarter.

Bad at Davenport.

Davenport, Ia, April 1.-THE Mis-
sissfppi is within less than two feet of
the danger line at this point and is
rising at the rate of several inches
daily. Merchants are moving goods
from cellars in the business district

Rock river and Iowa river valley a
large area of low land is under water,
while families are moving back from
the river to escape the advancing
flood.

The Furonean Concert.

London, April IA dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople, SAYS it is
evident from the porte's language to
the powers, which remains courteous
and plausible, but is tinged with a
perceptible scorn, that the concert OF
the powers is not regarded there with
the consideration paid to it prior to
the wavering policy of Europe in deal
ing with Greece.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says that one of the least favor
able consequences of the course of ac-
ton taken by the powers is that it
has not fully failed to overawe the
Greeks, but there are unmistakabie
signs that it has diminished the
prestige of the European concert.

Rising at Moline.

Moline, ILL.,. April 1.-THE river is
still rising here and the danger of the
Moline water power wall is so immi-
nent that the government has taken an
emergency action to protect it. A
slanting bulkhead is being built so as
to take care of possible rise of two
feet or more above the present wall.
The water now stands at 30.5 feet, or
within two feet of the top. The wall,
which was built many years ago, has
been weakened and the water is now
sweeping through all along its length.

Vienna. April 1.-THE best informed
diplomats here regard war as newt
able They say the strain cannot much
longer he borne by either Turkey OF
Greece and that the time has passed
for the powers to attempt to intervene.
In view Of the dangerous position as
sumed by Greece, the question is re-
iterated whether she does not count
upon some power coming 10 her sup
port at the crucial moment.
The situation is regarded here as an
alogcus to the time when Servia at

Great Britain saved Servia from ami
