"a wave of water six feet high and a
mile wide swept down Cottonwood
valley at 6 o'clock this morning and
struck this city. A deafening roar went
up as the water crushed houses and

were trying TO swim the current, to
reach four women and baby in a
treor were carried away. a woman
wading from house, with baby in
her arms, was swept away and lost.

M'KINLEY'S VIEWS,
The President-Elect Opposed to CubaI
Recognition or Armed Intervention.

The President-Elect Opposed to Cuban
Recognition or Armed Intervention.
New YORK, Feb. 27.-The journal
this morning prints the following dis
patch from julius Chambers, its staff
correspondent at Cleveland, o.:
Intense curiosity exists to know the policy to
be pursued regarding Cuba by the incoming ad-
miniStration. am able to state that policy on
the highest authority and in the epigram in
which it will be enunciated. There will not be
any meddling with the Cuban insurrec-
ton or any trihing with Spain Every
citizen of the United States will have the
absolute protection Of this government, if war
with Spain be precipitated. The first case Of
brutality to citizen Of the United States will
be followed by immediate and unmistakable
action on the part OF the administration.
Maj Mckinley is opposed to a recognition OF
the republic of Cuba, because he maintains it
does not exist, and the only existing govern
ment in Cuba is Spain, The granting Of bellig
erent rights to insurgents, he argues, would're-
lieve Spain to large extent Of the obligations
to this government No claims of American
citizens would lie against Spain for the destruc-
ton Of their property on the island by the in
surgents. Maj Mckinley is equally opposed to
armed intervention, holding that conditions
justifying such q step do not exist.

Senator Sherman Gives Up the Contest to
Get 1t Ratified This Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Recognizing
the futility of continuing the contest
for the general arbitration treaty
against determined minority, which
is strengthened by the fact that very
few days remain of the life of the
Fifty-Fourth congress, Senator Sher-
man and those who have sustained the
treaty have given up the contest for
this session, but will renew it during
the extra session of the senate, which
will be convened Immediately upon
the dissolution of the present congress
next Thursday. Mr.. Sherman, who,
by reason of the fact that he will be at
the head of the state department after
March 4. speaks with the authority of
the incoming administration, strongly
intimates that the new president will
urge ratification, and expresses the be-
lief that at the approaching extra ses-
sion that result will be accomplished.

AT most cities there has been no change In
the volume or temper OF trade. Demand has
been quiet, and while expectations favor an
early improvement, progress thus far has been
somewhat disappointing. The most marked
gains are at Chicago and st. Louis, where visit
ing merchants have made relatively heavy pur-
ehases of dry goods. clothing and groceries.
Jobbers at Cleveland. Cincinnati, Milwaukee
and Louisville. in some instances, regard the
outlook as more favorable.

throughout the United States this week, COM

A TERRIBLE FAMINE.
j. T. Ca ldweIl Is in st. Louis Soliciting Aid
for Louisiana Drought Sufferers.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Mr. J. T. Cald-
well, of Claiborne parish, La, is in the
city trying to secure aid for the drought
stricken people in his parish. in
Claiborne parish, which is my home"
he said, there are about II, 900 inhabit-
ants. They are nearly all farmers,
there being no cities in the parish. OF
these 10000 a conservative estimate
would place the number of destitute
persons at about 1000. They are both
black and white and have come to this
condition through no fault of their
own. The poorer classes have now alb
solutely nothing to live on. The state
of Louisiana gave sos, 900 for the assist
ance of the district, but this was most
ly expended in freight charges The
farmers were asked to pay 25 cents a
bushel for the corn. One would think
that almost anyone could raise $12.5O
to get so bushels of corn, but there
were hundreds who could not In this
way the poor get none of the state
