FIRST IN CAVALRY.

The Organized Militia of the
United States is book published
each year by the war department,
and contains all information possible
to obtain about the militia Of every
State of the Union. This book for
1896 has recently been issued, and
includes among other matter interest
ing statistics concerning the fighting
force of South Carolina Comparison
between the militia of the Palmetto
State and that of other States is very
favorable to the former.
In number of cavalry South Carroll
ma ranks far ahead of any other State.
She has total of l,07O cavalrymen
out Of total of 4.945 for the entire
Union, and over twice as many as
the State having the next highest
number. which is Georgia. with 532.
Of the entire militia cavalry of the
United States, then, South Carolina
has about fourth. She ranks low
in artillery, but in infantry comes
sixteenth, with force of 1891 en-
listed men. In the aggregate of all
the branches of the service she is
seventh. The States having a great
er number are ]: New York. with
1922 men /; Pennsylvania, with
$3.50 /; Ohio, 6.229 Illinois 6,228 ;
Massachusetts. 5,227 New Jersey,
4,258; California, 1886. Georgia
comes next to South Carolina, with
3,193 or 537 less
The appropriation made by the diff
ferent States for the support of their
militia is no less interesting. In this
she falls to the twelfth place from the
bottom. New York leads with an
appropriation of $44S,O00, while
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts
and New Jersey come next in the
order named Arkansas, Nevada
and Oklahoma make no appropria.
tions whatever for their forces.
South Carolina gives TO her militia
$4,000, while Georgia appropriates
$4,000, Florida $4,000, North
Carolina $4,000.
South Carolina comes twenty Sec
in the number of men liable to mill
tary duty. Her number is $4,000.

GREAT DANGER
STILL THREATENS

Suffering Refugees.

New Orleans, April 29.-Seyere

today throughout the lower Mississip.
pi valley did great damage to levees
entailed great suffering among those
refugees camped on the levee with
out shelter of any kind Nearly half
of the people in the overfowed Sec
tion of Louisiana are either altogeth-
er without shelter or what they have
is insufficient.
Another break in the bureau levee
district occurred last night below
the Melrose plantation The new
break is at the Guezuard place. It is
only 25 feet wide, but more serious
than the Melrose crevasse. because
the base of the levee has been wash
ed away. A large force Of men at
work expect to close both breaks to-
night.
State Engineer Perilliat, who re-
turned to New Orleans to-day from
the CbafaIya district, issued state
ment warning the people from Red
river down not to lull themselves
into feeling of false security that
the danger is over 1t is very great,
he says, but there is a fighting chance
of preventing an overflow in the
sugar district of Louisiana if the en-
tire population will turD out and
work on the levees.
Prociamations are being issued by
all the police, juries, boards and local
officials 1t has been decided in
nearly all the river parishes that
there shall be no term of court in
May as usual, as jury duty and SER
vice as witnesses would take men
away from the levees.
There is now every probability that
the river will cut trough Cowpen
Point levee by way of Lake Con-
cordia. Should this occur. it will
create cut off leaving Natchez,
Miss an inland town as Vicksburg
was left in 1876 Thousands Of dol
lars have been spent to prevent this
cut off, but apparently in vain, as
the river shows disposition to re-
turn to it's old bed of $50 or 800
years ago
The water is falling on the Yazoo
Delta, but more slowly than expect
ed. Every fall Of an inch, however,
puts many acres out of water which
are Immediately sowed in cotton.
There will be return of the refugees
to the smaller towns, with the fall of

vides, minister or marine, sent a mes
sage demanding an explanation of

the ships had been kept idle
for four days, which, under the
circumstances, was betrayal of

had not been employed on active duty
instead of lying at Sbiathos. which
