CUBANs USE CANNON.
Their Use Fails TO Accomplish Much
at Jlgunnt.

Havana, May 19.-Advices have been re-
celved here that, on the night Of March
IA. the rebels made an attack upon the
town of Jiguani, in the Santiago de Cuba
province, using two cannon of small cal
ibre which they directed against the forts,
infiicting considerable damage. The in
surgents were finally repulsed by the gar
rison and retired, leaving eleven dead on
the field and carrying number Of dead
and many wounded men with them. The
losses Of the enemy included six of their
leaders among the killed. The loss OF the
garrison waB an officer Of volunteers
wounded and four soldiers killed and eigh-
teen wounded.
Gen Rey, with his column, left veguitas
on March Is, taking the direction of il
guam. He was constantly fired upon by
bands of rebels along the road, and at Sa-
bana Jucaibanita, the enemy were found
in large force, occupying strong positions.
The troops made an attack upon the rebel
positions, by front and flank, striking them
simultaneously In three columns, and dis
lodged the enemy after a short fight. The
losses of the troops were five privates kill
ed and major, two captains and thirty
five prlvates wounded.
Continuing his march, Gen. Rey found
force of the enemy entrenched at Cam
tillo The rebels tried to prevent the ad-
vance OF the troops, but the latter, divi-
ded into. four columns. and forced a pas
sage after a short resistance on the part
Of the enemy. The latter did very little
firing. but the troops, nevertheless, lost
one man killed and the chaplain of the
column and six privates wounded.
Col. Borbon, with his command, while
marching on the road to Mayo Jigua, near
the Central trocha, found the rebels en-
trenched In such position as to bar his
passage The troops attacked the en-
trenchments and after spirited combat
captured the positions and completely
dispersed the enemy, who left seven men
dead in the entertainments. The troops
had two men killed and eighteen wounded

NATCHEz's DANGER LINE.
The Water Sti1 Below 1t and Not
Expected to Pass It.


New Orleans, La, March ia special
from Natchez, Miss. says: "The river at
this point now stands $3.50 on the gauge.
which is 4.20 below the danger line and
rising at the rate of half foot daily.
The levees hereabouts are under the most
careful and rigid surveillance, and the
general belief is that they will be able to
easily stand fifty feet unless there are
weak places developed, not apparent now
The concensus of opinion among river
men is that we will not reach forty-eght
feet here unless there are excessive local
rains.
"A tremendous storm of wind and rain
passed over this city at o'clock this
morning, doing great damage to property
in Natchez, and some in Concordia parish,
but while it does not appear to have had
the effect of damaging the levees to any
appreciable extent, 1t certainly did add
some water to the river.
1.-THE telegraph wires above the city
were all prostrated, and we were cut off
from communication from the north. The
worst is yet to come in this locality"
A special to the States from Vicksburg,
Miss, says: 1.-THE river situation for the
next thirty days promises to be more
than serious. There is a higher stage at
Cairo and Helena, the two main points
of observation, than since the 18th, and
by their reported rainfalls in the past
twenty-four hours, both will score ex-
treme high water marks yet The pres
sure is going to be excessive all along the
levee lines. 1t will first appear between
Helena and the mouth of the Arkansas.
On that reach the levees have been put
in front of the White river basin since
the last high water. and the effect of this
| is now to be tested. From there down the
levees have been raised and enlarged
| greatly, and ought to hold unless the flood
| is prolonged. Altogether, It is the most
| serious situation for the delta sections
that has been experienced since 1892"

WATER INVADEs NASHVILLE.
The Greatest Flood ON Record Now
Looked For.

Nashville, Tenn. March 19.-The Cum
berland river is rising. Rain fell all yes
terday, last night and continued to come
down necessarily to-day. There is pros
pect of the greatest flood on record. The
highest recorded water in the Cumberland
river was in 1888, when 1t registered 50 feet,
0 feet higher than at present. The outlook
now is that this mark will be exceeded.
Much damage has already resulted from
the overfiowed lowlands and more Will
follow when the flood increases.
Large sections of East Nashville have
heen under water for several days. The
river Is already climbing to the business
houses on Front street. Boats are now
anchored to the side walks and the pros
pect is that the first floors of buildings will
be submerged.
Dispatches from the southern counties
of Tennessee and from Northern Alabama
reported six hours of rain fall and terri
bic flood In the region. Great damage has
been done to bridges and fences Trains
have stopped running on the Nashville,
Florence and Sheffield railroad.

DR. FAIR URGED TO DECLINE.
His Church in Richmond Does Not
Want Him 10 Come 10 savannah.

Want Him 10 Come 10 savannah.
Richmond, Va, March 19.-Rev. James
Y. Fair, d. D., pastor of Grace Street
Presbyterian church, was presented a pc
tition signed by the elders of his church
this morning asking him to decline the
call extended to him by the Independent
church at Savannah.
The paper not only plainly shows the
feeling of the officers of the church, but
also OF its members. II was prepared at
a session of the elders few days ago and
urges DR.. Fair not TO leave at this time,
setting forth that his usefulness has by no
means been finished In Richmond. but on
the contrary the elders and congregation
believe It has just begun; that his church
Is now beginning 10 reap the fruits Of his
labors and the advantages Of his staying
Largely outweigh those Of his leaving. His
church feels very deeply even the possi-
bllity Of his leaving, and hopes that after
he has weighed the matter, he will feel II
10 his interest and the church's interest
The petition says "Our church had been
through the deepest troubles prior 10 your
coming among us, and It's greatest need
was a thorough repairing Of the breaches
and a wise healing Of old heartaches.
These things have been in a large meas.
ure accomplished, but much remains 10 be
done. and We are satisfied that this new
cali is intended of God only 10 re-awaken
us 10 the opportunities stretching out be-
fore US In this field, and not to lead to a
removal Of qualities such as peculiarly
mark your fitness for this work from en-
vironments especially adapted 10 their
highest exercise. We beg you to look over
the field and see how manifestly God has
endowed you TO labor In IT,"
Dr. Fair has made no response TO the pc
tlton. but the presiding elder OF the
church said to-day that he felt positive

EARLY This Morning.

NfMNAE
Newport. KY, March 19.--Scott Jackson
and Alonzo walling will be hanged in the
Jail yard at Newport tomorrow for the
murder Of Pearl Bryan.
Gov. Bradley this afternoon declined TO
interfere and In answer to a call the
Frankfort military company, Company Il,
Second Regiment, came to Newport TO
guard the jail during the execution
There were fifty-five men in the detail.
Gov. Bradley's reasons for refusing to
reprieve the prisoners were in effect that
according TO the mems own confession
they had been guilty Of causing the death
OF the unborn, but life quickened babe, II
not of the mother. and, therefore, merited
the death penalty
When the prisoners arrived at Newport
at 2 o'clock 5000 people were around the
iail awaiting them. They were at once
put IN separate cells. When told that
Gov Bradley had refused TO respite them,
they eyinced little concern, Jackson only
remarking: "Oh, we knew II was all up
with him"
THE great throng that had gathered, ex-
Meeting a glimpse OF the prisoners. was
given an opportunity by order OF the
sheriff, 10 view the gallows.
Dr. George E. Wagner, whom the pris-
oners In their confessions last night
claimed administered the drug that caused
Miss Bryan's death. In attempting a Grim
inal operation, and TO have cut or ana
carried away her head TO prevent identi-
1cation OF the body, seems clearly able 10
establish an abb.
II has been announced semi-O4ficially
that the execution will take place before
o'clock In the morning, In order TO evade
the crowd.
Troops left Nashville for Newport this
afternoon 70 preserve order at the execu-
tion.
