AL6ER REFUSES To APPROVE.

The following, culled from the
Washington dispatches to the Plea.
yune of the 18th, will be read with
the deepest concern and dssppoint-
meDt in the Delta. Comment on tho
action of the Secretary of War is use
less, The refusal to approve of the
appropriation is q great misfortune to
the whole Mississippi valley:
The secretary of war has declined
to approve the allotments made by the
Mississippi River Commission at its
meeting in New York, June oath, and
they have been returned to Colonel
Gillespie, the president, with the in
dorsement that the amount allowed
for dredging work should be increased.
1t IS understood that the secretary
takes the ground that the law does
not authorize him to make allOtments
Of the money appropriated for the
river work under the commission, but
that he may refuse to approve, and
thus compel the commission to make
new allotments. This is probably the
first time since the organization IF the
commission that the aIlotments have
not been approved by the secretary OF
war, who, in this instance, has acted
on the accommodation of General
Wilson, the chief of engineers 1t is
true that the law does not require the
commission to set aside a specific
amount for the dredging work.
The rivers and harbors act of June
8, 1896, in proviso directs the com
mission to use of the appropriation as
much as might be necessary for the |
construction OF dredges, boats, ETC., to
maintain q naVigable channel from
Cairo down, and IN pursuance Of that
provision, the commission at its meet
ing Of June, 1896, set aside the sum
Of S2334, 800 out of the 100000,
the expenditure of which during the
four years ensuing was authorized by
The said act The estimate of dredg-
ing expenses for the year ending June
80, 1897, was 502 900, and for the year
ending June 80, 1898, was S35S,40O.
At It's last meeting IN June, 1897,
100000 was allotted 10 dredging, /
although Major Hsudbury, chairman
IF the dredging committee, moved 10 |
make it $4,000, which motion was
ost. 1t ia understood that the chief
If engineers aBd the secretary think S
bat 100000 more should have been
llotted although the commission will Q

GREENVILLET'IMES.
GREENVILLE SAFE.

The outlook for the Qreeuville front
becomes better and better. When
tho water began TO 90 down the clli-
zens were shocked 10 fluid that the
bank was csvlug very rapidly, and
in one place the cave had extended
TO the very foot of the lSyor OF
course the only reasonable supposi-
ton was that the reyetment rock work
aud mattress had been destroyed and
that all the costly engineering work
tor protecting the harbor was lost
This idea cast a cloud of gloom over
the city even darker than that pro-
ducod by the overflow itself Every
day the people went to the river to
watch the progress of the cave and
speculate on what was to be done.
However, as soon as the water had
fallen low enough to show the whole
extent of the damage, it was discoV-
GAChF Win d cCuoC VI AhSA tAN"7ANiN ~
lief, that the rock work and mattres.
SEES were still in place, the revetment
was holding, and the csyiDg was only
superficial, eating away portion OF
the bank which was above aud inside
Of the revetmeut. and that no breach
had been made in the protection work
Or course this discovery at once al
layed all fears for the future but the
apparent necessity for removing the
leyee remained, aud there was no
pace for it to run except along Wal
nut and Poplar streets, destroying
some Of the pgeltiest residence pro.
perry IN the city, 1t is now claimed
by the engineers that even this neces-
sity can be obviate1, and that the
holes Dug out IN the bank by the
high water will simply have to be
filed with rock TO make the front per-
fectly secure. The generous sppro-
priauon obtained for the GreenviIle
har0of makes this perfectly feasible,
aud instead of the high water having
resulted iu injury 10 the city it only
tested severely the strength of our
protection work, and proved its el-
fciency. If it had really been the
case that the front was csving, aud
it had been necessary to move our
leVce back along one of our best resi-
deuce streets and spend an enormous
sum OF money to repair broken re.
7stmeut the city would hardly have
ecovered,-certsluly not for long
time-from the injury by loss of con-
fdence and fear Of future disaster.
GreeuviIle now has solid trout,
which has proved its ability to sue
oessfu!ly withstand any dood that
may come, and will be protected on
on all sides by q permanent leVee
which will insure It safety from auy
further visitation like that which
caused il such humiliation and loss
during the past memorable spring.

CONSUL LEE TO RETURN.
He is Expected in Washington at
an Early Date,

New York, July 3.-The Herald,s
Washington correspondent snys: Two
developments in connection with the
Cuban question became public to day.
The first relates to the home coming of
Consul General Lee, who will be in Wash
ington within the next two weeks for
the purpose of comforting with Mr..
Woodford in regard to the condition of
affairs in Cuba and the RUIZ case. The
other is that Secretary of War, Alger has
quietly intimated to Capt. Taskar r.
Bliss, who will soon proceed to Madrid as
the military attache of the United States
legation, that it would be inadvisible to
take Mrs. Bliss aud her children. Lieut..
George l.. Dyer, the naval attache, pro.
poses TO go to Madrid unacco;npanied by
any of his family.
From the latter facts it is evident that
the administration proposes to make u
strong effort to end the war In Cuba.
This is confirmed by conferences which
Minister Woodford has had with the
President and others and If more con-
firmation were needed his prospective
talk with Consul-ieneral lee furnishes
il. In addition, Mr.. Woodford has care.
fully read all the correspondence between
the United States and Spain bearing on
the Cuban question since 1868, and is,
therefore, we'll fitted to make represcn ta-
tions on the lines which the President
has laid down.
1t is not expected in official circles that
Consul General Lee will return to Ha
vana. Upon his arrival here he will see
the President and confer with Minister
WoodfoId and this will probably wind
up his official career as consul. general.
1t is expected that at the time of Ibis ar
rival the nomination of Mr.. Frank
Aldrich as his successor will be trans
mitted to the Senate.
Besides facts Obtained from the men
with whom he has talked and the CORES
pondence he has read, Minister Woodford
will go to Spain equipped with full set
of instructions both with respect to the
general question of the settlement of the
Cuban war and the Ruiz case. The in
structions in the latter case are being
prepared with great care at the depart.
ment not only because of the importance
of the subject itself, but because of the
bearing it has upon the incommunicado
question and other claims of n similar
nature which are on file at the depart
ment.
A close study has been made of Span
ish laws and legal procedure and of the
provisions of the treaties between the
United States and Spain. las result the
authorities are convinced that the Span
ish government has no right to keep citi-
zens of this country incommunicado more
than seventy-twO hours. Upon this con-
viction supported by strong legal grounds
the department will base its demand for
an indemnity for Mrs. Ruiz, widow of
the murdered American.
The authorities are anxious that Spain
shall allow the points made in the Ruiz
case, because If the prosecution he sue
cessful it will be precedent which will
result in the payment of other claims filed
by American citizens against Spain on
account Of injuries received in Cuba at the
hands of Spanish troops.
