MILWAUKEE,, Wis.,. March 19-The
district of Milwaukee known as the Me-
nominee valley is submerged in water
tonight to a depth of over ten feet,
and a large number of people are inn
prisoned in their homes without any
means available for effecting a rescue.
Nearly 200 houses in the vicinity of
Fortieth and Clyborne streets are sur
rounded by a raging flood, and the
Menominee river at that point is still
rising rapidly and threatens to wash
several bridges and a large number of
houses away with it. At this point
the river has increased from a normal
width of about forty feet to nearly
third of a mile in width, and the hous-
es are in water up to the second story.
The waters of the Menominee which
enter Milwaukee from the west
through the Menominee valley began
to rise rapidly this afternoon. At the
end of Grand avenue, where the Me-
nominee narrows under the bridge, it
is a torrent twelve feet above its ordi-
nary level. Just around a bend is a
wide stretch of low land known as
"The Flats" and on this piece are
about 200 houses. All Of them are to-
night surrounded by water running in
depth from one to twelve feet. The
occupants of many of these houses
have fled, while others are imprisoned
in their houses with 10 means of
escape. The police have started for the
scene with boats, and the life-saving
crew has been notified. While there
has been thus far no fatalities, the
&c Ytci aVaf1 nd of
the houses are liable to topple over at
any moment. From some of the houses
in the center of this big stretch of
water the people are waving lanterns
and shouting for some one to get boats
and take them off. The West Milwau-
kee shops are flooded so far as the
ground floors are concerned. Should
the waters rise rapidly many families
would be in great danger, and there
would be loss of life.
The bridge at the Monarch stone
quarry, about half a mile above the
flats, has just been swept away. The
Milwaukee river is swollen to a tor
rent, and there are fears that the dam
near Lindwurm may go.
FOND DU LAC, Wis. March 19.-
Half or this city under water. BOtn
! branches of the Fond du Lac river are

OMAHA, Neb., March 19.-The flood
situation in Nebraska, To-, and South
Dakota, is condensed from special tele-
grams to the Bee as follows:
At Sioux City the flood had endanger-
ed all the bridges near the stock yards,
but they were saved by the use of
dynamite to blow up the ice gorges.
Reports from up the Floyd river indi
cate that it is rising and the worst is
to come yet. 1t is considered probable
that all the bridges will go out before
morning, but there will be no lives
lost, as the people have been getting
ready for the flood. The Sioux river is
causing trouble to the Milwaukee road.
The ice is breaking between here and
Hawarden at several places, and heavy
gorges are being formed. The bridge
at Riverside. across the Sioux, is in
danger of going out at any moment.
At Cherokee, To-, the Floyd river has
been rising all day owing to the rain
last night, and today several of the
houses in the low lands are surrounded

HAVANA, Feb. 1.-Manzanillo reports
are to the effect that at O'Clock at
night on January 18th the insurgents, as
sisted by friends. entered the town OF
Palamas Alta, so miles from Manzanillo.
After plundering the town and the stores
they burned so private houses and three
well-stocked dry goods and grocery es-
adjustments Owing to the unfavorable
location of the Notifications the soldiers
were unable to fire upon the attacking
party of Cubans. because, in SO doing
they would have been compelled to XIII
the peaceful inhabitants, who were run
ming through the streets seeking to gain
a refuge at the Notifications. Some OF
the inhabitants of the town even Joined
the insurgents, and in this manner es-
capped with their lives.
On the night of January 9th the insur-
gents attacked the fort of Alfonso XII,
in the province of Matanzas: Being re-
pulsed they burned the canefelds in the
vicinity of the town, leaving a line of
fire as far as Colchitatas, six miles dis
tant.
one of Weyler's river expeditions has
been defeated. Hearing that the insur-
gents had fortified some heights near
Paez. on the River Cuanao, north of CT
enfuegos. Weyler sent Colonel Serves
with 800 men in small boats to capture
the place and destroy the forests. In
rounding sharp bend, after proceeding
=
kerry fire was opened on them, while a
s-pound piece threw shot and sank sew
eraI of their boats. The Spaniards leaped
out of their boats, waded to land and
charged the insurgents. The fight was a
fierce one, in which the Spaniards were
forced to retire. In all 10 boats Were
sunk and 100 men killed and missing. 90
more being badly wounded
Cuban insurgents recently entered the

Professor Langley says the Problem

HNEW YORK, Jan. ga Sun special
from Washington says: The report of
Professor Langley, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, just submitted
10 the Board of Regents, contains the
following about his flying machine:
1.-The writer has, during the intervals
of his official duties, continued to expert
ment in this matter until he has reached
a measure of success which seems to
justify him in making the statement here
that mechanical flights have now been
attained. On May 26th last, a mechan-
ism built chiefly of steel and driven by
a steam engine, made two flights of over
half a mile. Since that time this result
has been nearly doubled. In each case
there was no support from gas. The
machine was a thousand or more times
heavier than the air in which it was
made to move. DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell witnessed the first of these and
communicated the statements of results
to the Academy of France.
81 do not know how far interest in this
work may bias my judgment, but it APP
pears to me that in these things the
final accomplishment of which has come
under the charge of the Smithsonian In
stitution, it has made a contribution TO
the utilities of the world which will be
memorable.
