MISS CAYvAN As SQUIRE KATE.
The Play Was spTcndfdIy Mounted
and Well Acted Last Night.

Miss Georgia Cayvan appeared at the
Academy last night in Robert Buchanan's
drama, Squire Kate" The play was
literally mounted, and was invariably well
played.
There are many fine qualities In Squire
Kate" Its story is acted instead of being
related. Its persons are distinctly indl-
vidualized. II IS suffused with romance.
1t imparts a high ideal of character and
conduct 1t IS unobtrusively humorous,
and unaffectedly pathetic. 1t does not
preach. Its style is clear and crisp; II Is
not literary, but perhaps the finest Of its
qualities is that of dramatic suggestive
ness.
Miss Cayvan reproduced Catherine
Thorpe with its soul Of tender woman
hood, its rich vitality Of changing emo
ton, its strength of music, and its star
light Of sentiment
Hhe other parts were admirably filled.
60 Squire Kate" will be repeated at
matinee to-day, and tonight the company
will be seen in a new play entitled Mary
Pennington, Spinster'

Wnter-Damage Enormous.
ST LOUIS, MO. March Sat midnight
last night a rain. which had fallen
steadily for thirty-six hours, suddenly
became If cloudburst proportions, and
all the low-ying parts OF the city were
soon under water. The river Des Peres,
which drains about twelve square miles
or the citys western suburbs, over
flowed its banks, and the villages Of Chel-
tenham, Clifton, Howard. Benton. Ellen
dale, and Edgewood were water-bOund.
The track of the Frisco railway was
covered. The river Des Peres, ordi-
narily eighteen inches deep, was twelve
feet deep and n mile wide. But one rail-
way track. that Of the Missouri Pacific.
was above water. a foot-bridge at the
Sublett-avenue crossing was carried
away. and two men were drowned. one
OF them was Andrew Brown, a negro,
and the other Is unknown.
People living in the flooded district took
refuge IN the tops of their houses. The
police and volunteers brought boats from
Forest-Park lake, and began taking the
unfortunates 10 high ground. This work
went on till daylight, when the water
receded rapidly. The loss will be enor-
nous.
Along the Mill-Creek Valley. which
bisects the city into northern and south
ern divisions, the flow was too great TO
be carried off by sewers, and great dam
age was done to railway tracks. The
Min-Creek sewer, the largest in the city.
was overlooked and gave way at two
points. The Iron Mountain tracks along
the river were washed out at three points,
but traffic was continued over the Illi-
nois Central 10 Cairo. Every incoming
train was late from two TO four hours
on the east side of the Mississippi river
the flood did great damage. principally
to railroads The Nandalia and Baltimore
and Ohio are the most serious sufferers.
Canteen creek near the Bluffs, grew 10
the proportions OF lake near Collins
Vile and Caseyyille. Serious washouts
at these points caused the abandonment
of all trains on the Yandalla and the
Baltimore and Ohio. There are two
breaks on the Vdndalia road, near Col
Insville 200 yards wide, and the water
is rushing under the track in torrents.
The loss 10 farmers in the American
bottoms and south to the Chester Bluffs
will be very heavy. as fences, light struc-
lures, and livestock were carried away.

by a Spanish warshp after leaving the
harbor. There Is not the slightest foun-
dalton for the report, which undoubtedly
had its origin I'm the mind of some imagi-
native reporter. visit to the navy-yard
would have revealed the fact that the
Competitor is lying at the anchorage in
which she was placed after being brought
here, nearly a year ago. The men who
were captured on her are stll in the
Cabanas fortress, and as far as can be
learned from close mouthed officials, there
has been no change I'm their condition
