THE RESERVATIONS.
CABINET CONSIDERS FOREST
RESERVE ORDER.
Strong Talk OF Resembling the Order OF
Ex-President Cleveland Setting Apart
Twenty-one Forest Reservations
I'm the Far West.

Washington, April 3.--All the mem
bers of the cabinet were present at the
meeting today. The cabinet was in
session little over an hour and a
half. The only question Of public i'm
portance discussed was the question
of resembling the order of President
Cleveland setting apart twenty-one
forest reservations in the west This
question has engaged the attention of
Secretary Bliss for some time. The
secretary today took to the white
house the maps and papers relating to
the matter.
The discussion of the forestry ques-
ton was at times very vigorous, and
all the members took part. The out
come was instructions that the nation
al forestry commission be summoned
to Washington TO talk over their work
with the president. 1t is understood
that the sentiment was that Mr..
Cleveland's proclamation was too com
prehensive, and it was stated that the
object of the commission which inves-
tigated the subject, and on whose re-
port the reservations were proclaimed
was TO take in enough" territory to
preclude the possible future claim that
any land legitimately deserving or re-
quiring reservation had been omitted. |
The cabinet held that the commissions |
Investigation was inadequate. The
president announced his purpose to act
IN conservative lines and not to act
without more information.

DANGER IN OTHER SECTIONS
OF THE SOUTH.
The People of Helena, Ark, are working
Day and Night to Strengthen the
Leyee and Keep on the Threat
ened Overflow.

Memphis, Tenn, April 5.-The flood
situation has once more become acute
from point few miles above Austin,
Miss, as far down as the first break
at Perthshire, Miss. Another crevasse
in this line of levees would not be sur
prising. The pressure on the levee is
brought about by the waters of the st.
! Francis basin. which are here longest
ed between the levees in front OF
Helena. There is no levee on the Ar
kansa down to Sans Souci, to point
above Helena, distance of a hundred
miles, and it is at Austin that the levee
system on each side of the river be-
gins and goes to the passes below New
Orleans. The water is now so high in
the st. Francis basin that the current
rushes from the west and cuts along
the east shore levee for miles, and sew
eral alarming kilograms have been re-
ceived from near Austin today. Boats
have been requested to run on slow
bells, and laborers are constantly
Strengthening the entertainments. A
crevasse at Austin would inundate a
strip of fertile country in Tunica and
Coahuma counties twenty miles wide
and sixty miles long.
Reports from Helena, Ark, show
that the river there is still slowly ris-
ing, and it is almost miraculous that
the levees of Helena have not broken.

He Wants to Shoots Rivera, but the Gov.
eminent Restraints Him.
New York, April GA special to the
World from Havana says:
The prevailing belief is that General
Rivera will not be shot. An order is
said to have come from Madrid to
spare his life. This is not prompted
from motives of humanity but to make
a good impression upon the United
States and other nations. General
Weyler is furious, it is reported, and
may be the cause of the order being
withdrawn, in which case General Ri.
vera would be put to death.
A World courier brings the report
from the insurgents that Gen. Rivera
had received orders from Gomez to
turn over his command to Gen. Roloff
and he was about to report to Gen.
Gomez for other duty when he was
captured. That his capture was the
result of treason is still suspected. but
Senior Jorrin is no longer accused. The
traitor is thought to have been petty
officer under Rivera.

PROTECTION TO COPPER.
Through Oversight "a Duty is Imposed
On the Metal.

Washington, April Through an
oversight during the consideration of
the Dingley tariff bill the house neg
lected to adopt an amendment to put
copper on the free list prepared by the
ways and means committee. Conse-
quently there is no provision for cop
per in the bill, and copper falls into
the basket clause Mt s5 per cent ad va
loren. In the original draft of the
bin, the Mckinley rate of cent
pound ON copper was retained. The
subject was brought to the attention
of the committee the second time, and
II appeared no copper is imported into
the United States and some is export
ed, the committee saw no reason why
II should not be included in the free
list.

New York, April "A Havana dis
patch to the World says: Gen. Rivera
probably will be shot soon, as Gen.
Weyler has given orders that he be
tried by court-martial and shot imme-
diately. He may be put to death on
Saturday in spite of his wounds, or the
Spanish may cure him and then shoot
him. The certain execution of the
brave wounded prisoner of war excites
indignation and disgust here No other
alleged civilized nation is capable of
such an act. Col. Baccaloa, who tried
to carry off his wounded commander on
his back, although himself wounded,
will die with him.
1t is predicted that these executions
will provoke Gen. Gomez to shoot all
Spanish prisoners hereafter. instead of
releasing them.
The Cubans are not disheartened at
the loss of Gen. Rivera. They say Gen.
Roloff is in Pinar del Rio and will be-
come second in command of the whole
army. Insurgents in great numbers
are coming from the east and concen-

have plenty of ammunition and good
