GREECE HAS BUT ONE AL TERA
TIVE AND THAT IS TO
GO TO WAR.
The Concert Of Action Of The Pow
erS Is Now HOOted At And The
AimiraIS Are Disguised At
The Situation Which Is
Very Critical,

New York, April "A special to the
World from London says:
The most significant feature Of the
Cretan situation, at least so far as
Great Britain is concerned, is the con-
tinued license the London Times gives
to its special correspondents both at
Athens and on the frontier to de-
nounce the policy of the concert pow
ers.
Government organ though the Times
is, it gives its most conspicuous place
to such expressions from its Athens
correspondent as these
The concert of the Powers is rap
idly falling into contempt. The pillag
ing of the property of the Christians
lin Crete apparently goes on I'M
checked, and bands of Bashibazouks
continue to make depredatory eXcur-
siOns. The dissatisfaction among the
insurgents is increasing and the Pow
erS are now regarded by them as al
lies Of the Turks. Six or eight weeks
ago a force of marines from the fleet
might have tranSversed the island
without molestation but that is not
the case now. Letters from Crete
state that the insurgents have come
to regard the European troop with
the same hatred as that of the Turks
and it is certain that so long as the
Turkish army remains the feeling will
increase"
The correspondent practically urges
that the only reasonable solution of
the question is after all, mandate to
Greece to restore order.
The London Chronicle. discussing
the proposed blockade of Athens, goes
so far this morning as to say:
THE Powers. including England,
have war inevitable. In war Greece
must take her chance. She will face
fate as bravely and as hOnorably as
she has faced the bullying of Europe
and the blackguardism of the chancel-
lors; but the people of England must
at least for shame sake see that she is
handicapped by no blockade"
The Spectator and the Chronicle
openly invite American ships at least.
to dare the admirals, since no block
ade is legal unless war is actually de-
clared.
Several correspondents intimate that
all the admirals except the Russian
admiral, have come to be disguised
with the orders but since the pub
lished reports of an open rebuke in
parliament to the British admiral the
other day for writing to the Times
they are naturally reticent about dis
cussing the situation.

FAST WHEELING.

San Francisco, April 2.-Floyd A.
Mcfarland and Orlando Stevens were
the stars in the professional events at
the indoor bike tournament. McFar-
land won the final of the one-mile open
in one of the most sensational finishes
seen during the meet.
Orlando Stevens won the final of
the half lin an exciting finish, from
W. A. Terrell and Eddy Allen, in the
fast time of los 2-5.
Stevens is without doubt the best all
around man riding at this tournament
and has displayed great speed and
finishing qualities during the last few
days. His sprints are the talk of the
spectators. The worlds records were
broken in his exhibitions. John Wing,
of San Jose, cut the indoor amateur
record for five miles to 1920 which is
a cut of 20 seconds. Jay Eaton, of
Chicago, lowered the quarter-mile in
door record for professionals to :27
3-5 seconds

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
Continues To Grow Hourly
More Serious.
FAMILIES FLEEING FOR THEIR
LIVES AS THEIR HOMES ARE
SUBMERGED IN WATER
Cattle Sheep And Lumber Destroyed
By The Raging TOrrentS--Wa-
ter FOrmeS Into Lakes Which
Are Covered With Float
ing Household Articles.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 2.-The Mis-
issippi here has reached a stage of
16 feet and is still rising slowly. This
is the highest point reached since the
great flood of 1881. The residents of
the flats have had ample warning to
save themselves and their property.
Between Minneapolis and st. Paul
one thousand families have been
made homeless by the flood. They
lived on the flats along the riverside
and in the lowlands of West st. Paul.
The families that lived 10 the left of
the bridge at Minneapolis have been
driven out and a vast body of water
rushes over the spot where their
homes formerly stood. 1t has swept
away many houses.
On the west side the water is en-
crOaching on the Robert street bridge
Only two streets in the flats are free
from water and those only for three
squares. The water is coming up and
is gradually submerging all the low
lands. Already 200 homes over there
are under water and more disappear
with each succeeding hour.
Looking from the pier of old Broad
way bridge toward the southwest side
| it looks like an immense lake. Many
of the residents further down are COW
cred and the lake is floating full OF
all sorts of household goods, fences,
barnroOfs, trees and lumber of all de-
scriptiOns.
On the upper flats, on the east side
of the river, the inhabitants awoke
this morning to find their yards, and
| in some cases their house flooded.
They Immediately began to move.
BY sudden rise of the river at st.
Paul. last night 80 sheep were
drowned. There were $4,000 sheep
in the pens at that point which are
being removed to other yards. Mil
lions of feet of lumber got away from
the boom companies to the north and
foated over st. Anthony Falls.
Warsaw, ILL.,, April 2.--Heavy rains
have again swOolen the Des Moines
and Mississippi rivers, threatening
further devastation of property. The
Fox river, which empties into the
Mississippi near here on the Missouri
side is out of its banks and the people
are fleeing from the bottoms and TAX
ing their livestock with them.
Tracts of land within the levees are
suffering greatly from deep water.
The situation is growing more serious
ly hourly.
Raceland, La, April 2.-During the
night the Ievee in front of the Le-
blanche property, four miles below
LOckport, on the left bank of Bayou
La Fourche gave way and is now 100
feet in width. The strain all along
the bayou has been relaxed to great

FIENDS SWUNG TO DEATH.
Murderous Gang of Cutthroats Hang
ed on the Same Scaffold.


ed on the Same Scaffold.
Santa Fe, n. NJ, April 2.-Francisco
Gonzales y Borrego, Antonio Gonzales
Y Borrego Sauriano Arid and Patricio
Valencia, condemned to death for the
murder of ex-Sheriff Frank Chavez,
who was killed from ambush, were
hung together on one scaffold at 9:10
o'clock today.
They were members of the executive
committee of the Button gang" a
league organized to combat the polit-
ical influence of eX-Sheriff Frank Cha
vez, a Democratic leader in Santa
Fe. A conspiracy was formed by the
executive committee to assassinate
Chavez. On the night of March 20,
1892, Chavez, who was a giant in
strength, was slain from ambush by
the towards when going home. The
next night Juan Pablo DomingueZ,
who openly declared that he knew
who murdered Chavez, was shot and
killed
For this crime Francisco Y BOrrego,
who had been seen fleeing from the
scene of the murder, gave himself up.
He pleaded self-defense and was ac-
Quilted For twelve months the
gang" who controlled both the police
department and the sheriff's office
was supreme in Santa Fe and no at
tempt was made to even get the Cha
vez murderer. When Gov. Thornton
was appointed in 1898. he removed
District Attorney Twitchell and
Sheriff Conklin from office. The new
sheriff began hunting for evidence
against the murderers of Chavez and
soon obtained confessions from two of
the conspirators. Francisco and An,
tonic BOrrego, Lauriano Alarid, Pa
trioio Valencia and Frank Rivera
were arrested. Hippolito Vigil, chief
of police and the coroner were shot
dead while resisting arrest. At the
trial which abounded in sensational
incidents, Rivera, Louis Gonzales and
other minor members Of the gang
turned states evidence and the two
Borregos, Alarid and Valencia were
convicted of murder in the first degree
and sentenced TO be hanged. The case
was appealed on a writ of error to the
| United States Supreme, court, which
| finally decided against the murderers.
Pending the hearing in the Supreme
court, Alarid and Valencia made con-
LESSONS removing all doubt of the
guilt of the gang.

San Francisco, April 2.-The schoon>
er Robert Levers has arrived from
Honolulu, bringing news of a serious
uprising of japanese laborers on the
islands. For some time the japanese
on Hllo and other islands have evinc>
ed a disposition to defy the law. The
trouble eliminated with riot on the
Sprecklesville plantation, near Wal
lulu, and the brutal murder of the
Japanese interpreter. Several arrests
were made, whereupon the Japanese
300 strong, prepared to visit Wailulu
Jail and demand the release of their
cOuntrymen, Sheriffs Scott and Dow
heard of the proposed assault upon
the Jail and asked for help The citi-
Zens' guards were ordered out and
a number of volunteers went to the
assistance of the militia. About sixty
armed men took charge of the Jail
and awaited the coming of the Japa-
neSe.
Citizens sent their women and
children out of the place and prepara-
ton was made to give the rioters a
warm reception. The japanese heard
of the plan to fight them, and merely
made a formal demand for the release
of the prisoners, saying "Three hun
bred of us killed the man; you should
arrest us ALL"
When the mob visited the jail they
were ordered back to the plantation
under penalty of volley from the
militia and they soon dispersed.

RUSSIA Is READY.

New York, April "A special to the
Herald from st. Petersburg, says:
Troops are ready to start for Odessa
in the same number as furnished by
the other Powers and if these are not
sufficient there will be more ready to
go if the admirals think it is neces-
sary.
1t is looked upon as almost certain
that Greece will make a show of
fighting, otherwise the dynasty must
fall. The only way out of the trou-
bles is deemed her to be disciplinary
in measures toward the Cretans and
their Greek instigators.
