SALVATIONlSTS MAY UNITE.
General Booth and His Son darlington
Said to BE RecOnciIed.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 4-From informa-
ton which has been CLEANED in the last few
days it seems assured that there is on foot
a plan to reunite the two branches Of the
Salvation Army in this country, and that
Major Blackhurst has gone to England 10
bring about a complete reconciliation be-
tween General Booth and his son Balling-
ton. Word was received yesterday that Gen.
Booth would visit this country next Janu-
airy and his visit is looked forward to by
both the old army and the American Vol
unteers as the beginning of the end which
will see them all arrayed once more under
the banner of the original SalNaUOnlStS.
The two branches of the army here seem
to understand that this is the result that
will soon be seen. Darlington will be con-
tinued in his high station here. while the
general will become the head of the entire
army.
From an interview with a staff captain
er army toward the younger it seems that
such a result is already assured. The cap
tain said that inside of a few months there
would be but one detachment located here,
and that it would be brought about through
the arnicable relations of the father and
this country, where he came from the army
of South Africa and shortly afterward
joined the American Volunteers, was for
the purpose of holding out the olive branch,
and when. after three months, he went
back to the old army it was the beginning
of the end. Adjutant Trouble also went
through similar experience, and it is be-
will be complete reunion before Feb.

strong, although some disappointment is
felt that Senior Gamazo. Senior Maura, Sem
ator Armijo and others who had been
looked upon as probable members, are not
included. 1t is understood that Senior
Maura, who was the author of the first
Cuban home rule bill, felt that he could
not act satisfactorily with Senor Moret,
while Senior GamaZo, who is a relative of
Senior Maura, feared that his presence
might imply a leaning toward the Maura
scheme of reforms Consequently Senior
Sagasta was compelled to take less promt-
nent men.
At a Cabinet council this evening it was
decided to appoint Senior Amos Salvador,
minister of finance in the Sagasta Cabinet
Of 1895, director of the Bank of Spain. Count
Roamnones has been appointed mayor of

trous floods that have visited China for
many years. Sixty villages near Tung- Chou

is no means of finding out how many thou
sands have been drowned, but the number
is estimated by Chinese authorities at if
teen thousand to twenty thousand. The
flooded district is within twelve miles of
Picking, the capital of China. AS rule Chi
nese officials make very little stir when
calamity like this happens, but the proxim-
ity of the disaster has resulted in it's being
brought to the attention of the Emperor
who has ordered that all possible relief be
given. Survivors from the villages nearest
Picking have been allowed such shelter as
they can find in the city walls, but thou
sands are without protection against the
rain, which continues to fall.

the officials constitutes a violation of the
treaty rights.

EXPLORERS SAFE.
Cavendish Party Not Murdered-Thei
Discoveries in Africa.

LONDON, Oct. A letter was received
here to-day from Kikuyu, British East AT
RIGA, which disposes of the story received
at Rome from Benadir saying that the Cav
endish sporting expedition which left Ber-
bera, East Africa, last year, arriving at
Lugh, Somaliland. about the middle of No
vember. proceeding thence towards Lake
Rudolph, had been attacked by band of
Amharas, who murdered all the members
Of the expedition, consisting Of two Eng
lishmen and ninety Ascaras. The later news
says that Cavendsh who is a nephew
OF the Duke of Devonshire, and Lieutenant
Andrew, his companion arrived at Kikuyu
on Aug. 5, after trip around Lake Ru-
dolph, which up to that time had not been
explored. Cavendish and Andrew had a
trying time. Their head men melted the
Ascaras to mutiny, and the two English
men were forced to yield to their demands.
But near Kikuyu Cavendish and Andrew
seized the two ringleaders, who have since
been sent, to the coast for trial. The ex-
petition discovered there a new lake and
two active volcanoes, and crossed from the
Gulf Of Alden to the Zanzibar coast by
much the same route as previously followed
by DR.. Donaldson Smith, of Philadelphia.
