WANT THEIR MONEY.
characterization and Discomfort
Shown by the Spanish Soldiers.

New York, March ga dispatch to
the Sun from Havana says: There is
great alarm in Havana on account of
the signs of INSTRUMENTATION and dis
content shown by the Spanish troops
The government is now seven months
in arrears in it's account with the
army, and has no money to make
even a months payment. The soldiers
speak loudly against the government,
and say that they won't wait for their
money any longer.
The officers. who have been doing
their best to check the spirit of revolt
among the private soldiers. say also
that they are tired out and cannot
longer endure the embarrassing situa-
ton.
General Weyler has given orders to
the chiefs of battalions to prevent a
mutiny, keeping the troops, as much as
possible, out of the towns. The con-
slant reports of Spanish victories in the
past few days and the official declara
lions that the campaign is nearing its
end are inspired by the desire to stimu-
late little confidence in the army, as
the belief is general here, among the
ignorant classes, which do not consider
the many difficulties of the situation,
that the next day after peace comes a
wave of prosperity will pour over the
country and the government will be
able to fulfill all its obligations

Absolutely Desperate.

London, March 2S.-The Times has a
dispatch from its correspondent in
Canea. who describes the Greek troops
and insurgents as becoming absolutely
desperate. The insurgents were ut
terly astounded at the fleets lombard
ing MalaXa on Thursday. The Smelling
began at the moment when the Turkish
garrison, having yielded, the block
house was full of rebels and 43 pris-
oners. The first shell DESTROYED one
wall of the block house and killed three
men. The victcrs speedily vacated the
place, taking with them their prisoners,
who are now at Alillianu. The insur-
gents again attacked the Aptora block
house, near JZzedin, today, but they

The British Warship Dryad found
yesterday four Caiquos that were land
ing contraband. She sank two of the
boats and captured the other two. Most
ot the cargo from the beats had al
ready been landed. The insurgents
were furious against them and fired on
d boat in which were Admiral Harris

were IN uniform.

NAV Cause Trouble.

Athens, March 2s.-A band of Arme-
mans. Cretans and Turks have boarded
an Egyptian steamer at the Piraeus
and forcibly released an Armenian
prisoner who was being conveyed via
Seria to Constantinople. The incident
is likely to cause complications
Reports from various places in Crete
show that therde is not the slightest
improvement in the condition of af-
fairs in that island. The fighting be-
tween the Moslens and the Christians
continues, and the burning of villages
is matter of daily occurrence. There
is no prospect of any betterment in the
situation. 1t is apparent that the bonn
bardment of the Christians by the for
eign warships is merely a waste of shot
and shell. When the insurgents are
scattered by the fire from the warships
they dispense only to reappear shortly
after in some other place in the vicin-
ity.

NEW HIGH WATER MARKS.
They Are Being Made Day by Day
in the Missouri Country.

st. Louis, March 2S--The forecast of
the government signal service that the
Missouri and upper Mississi-- ii rivers
would rise to the danger point has been
well verified. and now high water
marks are being made. That stretch
of low-land country on both sides of
the Mississippi river from the mouth
of the Des Moines to the hills below
Hannibal. Mo-, and Quincy, ILL.,, is I'M
der water. At Quincy the record today
is 1875 feet, with a rising river. This is
two feet above the danger line. There
is great suffering among the farmers
Should the rise reach another foot
every railroad in the valley will have
to be abandoned. Portono and Wards
islands, below Quincy, are inundated
and the settlers barely escaped with
their lives. The Indian grave levee,
north of Quincy, that protected 20 900
acres of farm land. was still intact to-
night, but a little more water would
sweep it away. At Louisiana, Mo-, the
water is spreading over the lowlands

All Beyond Description.

Canea, March 2S.-The conditions
which prevail throughout the island are
beyond description. Warfare, rapine
and pillage is going on in every direc-
ton, and thus far the forces of the
powers have been absolutely powerless
to preserve order, even in the coast
towns. The Cretan Christians and the
Greeks are firmly resolved to bring
about the annexation of the island to
Greece, while the Moslems appear to
be equally determined to prevent such
contamination. The Turks declare
that if the island is handed over to
Greece, they will massacre not only
every foreigner but even their own
women and children, and then fight
the Christians TO the bitter end. No
BODY doubts their willingness to mas
sacre the Christians, but under the
circumstances they would find the
Christians in the interior fully capable
of protecting their own lives. In the
principal towns ON the coast the pres
ence of international troops will, it is
believed, prove an effectual check to
Though the powers have heretofore
Turks, it is not for a moment believed
that they would eountenance massa-
ere of the Christians.
The Intervention of the powers thus
far has been of no practical value be-
yond demonstrating in what direction
their sympathies lie. 1t has not Sc
cured peace for the island, and al
though the admission must prove hui
initiating to the great nations of Eiu-
rope, it does not promise to bring
about that end in the future.

seen.

At the residence of Archbishop Corri-
gan today, il was said that Mgr. Del

til tomorrow or Tuesday morning: but
it is known that the time at his dis
Dosal for the adjustment of even such
an important question as the Canadian
school proposition is limited, as he is
said to be the Dooe's personal repre-
sentative in London at the diamond
jubilee of Queen Victoria, which occurs
in June. 1t is not expected that a
definite announcement of his views on
the subject will he made until after his

Reason to Believe That They Will

Chicago, March est is very proba-
BILE that the 1000 tanners involved in

action was practically decided upon
by the employees today, since they are
unable TO come to an agreement with
the employers in the effort to settle
their differences. AT meeting of shaw
ers and splitters this afternoon, it was
decided that the 500 men engaged in
this particular employment win not re-
turn to work tomorrow morning. This
action on the part of the wofkingmen
will affect nearly all the large tanneries
of the city, and it is almost certain
that the other men will follow the
