MINISTER TO MIKADo's COURT
A. E. Buck, Leader OF Georgia Republicans,
Accepts the Position

New York, April 5.-A special from
Washington says A. l.. Buck OF
Georgia has been offered and has ac-
cepted the position of minister to Japan.
His nomination will be sent to the sen.
ate this week.
He is about go years old. and Is the
Republican boss in Georgia. He went
to the St. Louis convention as chairman
of divided delegation, Mr.. Reed bein
favored by iany Of the members. After
a hard fight the solid delegation was
whipped into line for Mckinley.
Mr.. Buck went South from Main
shortly after the war, and during recon
struction days represented the Mobile
(Ala.) district. in congress. He subse-
quently went to Georgia, and was clerl
Of the federal court at Atlanta. He also
served as United States marshal for the
district of Georgia.
1t Is believed here that new minister
to Hawaii will go to Honolulu on the
cruiser Philadelphia, which is expected
to sail from San Diego on Wednesday.
II is said that Harold T.. Sewall. son OF
Arthur Sewall. candidate for vice presi.
dent on the ticket with Bryan, has been
selected for the position. Because OBJ
Jections may be raised to his confirma
ton, it is not considered that he will sail
prior to the announcement of his formal
appointment. The suggestion is made
that Mr.. Sewail's conversion to Republi,
canism Is too recent to entitle him to
place of such prominence. This may be
used against him in the senate.

At Other Points.

Omaha. April Especial kilograms to
The Bee from points in South Dakota.
Iowa and Nebraska, bring word of in
creased floods in all rivers. Rain has
fallen almost necessarily for the past
az hours over an area of more than 100
miles in radius from Omaha. the fall
being fully four inches for that time
This has greatly increased the volume
Of water in the already swollen streams.
and now what are usually brooks have
been transformed into torrents. Thou
sands of acres of farm land are under
from 4 to feet of running water. and
many families have moved from homes
in boats. Along the James river, in
South Dakota, a great many farmers
had gone back to their homes when the
water receded early last week, and are
now caught in this flood. A Missouri
river steamboat has been sent from
Yankton to rescue the suffering along
the James river. Sioux City reports
that the Mississippi has passed the dan
Ger line there. and is overfiowing the
lower part of the city.

CUBAN PLANS r..JS, kAsGO.
Expedition to Garry Geaera! Sanguilly S!op,co
by the veSuylas.

Jacksonville. Fla, April 5.-The cruiser
Vesuvius prevented a Cuban expedition
from leaving FernanGina Saturday nigh
and captured the tug alexander Jones
Wilmington, N. c. Tht cruiser lett here
suddenly upon information furnished b.
Spanish Vice Consul Potous that an eA-
petition would leave Fernandiua at l.
o'clock at night. The cruiser went down
the river and anchored off Fernandina
bar. About II o'clock a tug. with only
two lights burning at the masthead, was
seen TO approach, and the fashlight OF
the Vesuvius was thrown upon her. The
tug proved TO be the Alexander Jones,
and the captain gave as an excuse for
his presence that he was waiting for
tows. An oTicer from the Vesuvius was
placed aboard. and then the cruiser went
out to sea in search OF the Bermuda.
which was expected.
A steamer was finally seen coming
from the south, having the same signal
displayed as these Of the Jones. The
fashlight was again used, at which the
steamer turned and started i'm another
direction. A signal from the Vesuvius
brought the steamer to q standstill how
ever. and she was seen to he the Ber-
three mile limit and flew the British
flag, so that the commander of the
Vesuvius had no authority TO detain her.
The Bermuda had apparently no cargo
on board she standing very high In
the water. The Jones was escorted into
the port Of Fernandina and turned over
to Collector of Customs BaltZell, who
placed a deputy aboard. The tug prob
ably will be fined for a violation Of the
navigation laws in having only two lights
displayed.
The plans OF the Cubans were for Gen
eral Sanguilly to leave this city with n
party of Cubans for Fernandina. A
snail tug was then to tow two lighter
loaded with arms and ammunition and
the men out to the bar where they were
to be met by the tug Jones with coal and
provisions aboard, and everything was to
be transferred to the Bermuda. The
quick action of the Vesuvius prevented
their plans from being carried out.

BAD BREAK.
Great Water Pressure Makes Hole In
Leyee at Tunica, Miss.
Fortunately the Inhabitants
Were Prepared.
Mater Continues to Rise and Greatest Damage
Is Yet to Come.

Tunica, Miss, April 5.-Yesterday the
Flower Lake levee, where II crosses the
Yellow bayou, gave way under the tre-
lnendous pressure of water. The crew
asse widened rapidly and Is now 130
yards wide. and the water is rushing
through with a deafening sound that
only can be compared to that of the
Niagara falls. The levee was 20 feet
high at the point where it broke The
people, not only on the farms near the
break. but upon those some distance
from the levee back Of it, have lost large
numbers Of cattle. So rapidly did the
crevasse widen, that the water rushing
through ii was sufficient to reach the
lake parallel to the Yazoo and Mississ-
ippi railroad station at Bushby station,
which Is i've miles east of the break,
in remarkably short space of time, and
within an hour had raised the lake
8 feet. The country affected by this
break is one of the finest in the delta.
1t will cause the submergence Of the
entire southwestern and south central
part OF Tunica county. The flood will
pass into Coahoma county, overflowing
Lula and the region. around Moon lake,
broadening as Ii goes. A portion of
the current will travel southwark, in
undating some of the fairest fields in
Coahoma county. Thence II will travel
down Cassidy bayou and Sunfower
river, finally reaching the Yazoo.
traversing almost the entire length of
the Yazoo and Mississippi districts in
it's route, thus causing more injury to
the people of this levee district than a
break at almost any other point in the
levee.
Fortunately no loss of life is reported.
the inhabitants of this stricken section
having made preparations for just such
a catastrophe as exists today. The
condition OF the poorer classes through
out the flooded area is indeed critical.
Thousands of refugees are huddled in
levees and I'm spots of land, waiting for
relief. The towns of Rosedale and
Tunica report that everything possible
Is being done for these poor people, but
that funds and provisions are fast be-
coming exhausted. In the little city
of Rosedale alone 1900 refugees are be-
ing cared for by the citizens. Half a
hdndred towns stand in six feet of
water, and the yellow stream is creeping
up slowly, but surely.
At New Orleans the water is very high
and there is some apprehension, al
though the levees are not expected 10
