The great floods in the Mississippi VAL
ley are unprecedented; they cover a
larger area than ever before known.
In largest part this acreage is of i'm

oughly saturated. When the waters
recede ana the sun beats upon the
earth, then will come sickness, general
decline of public health and we fear

There are some reasons for believing
that the Powers are about to modify
their demands upon Greece for with
drawal Of Greek troops from Crete. Mr..
Balfours statement recently in the
House of Commons that no date had
been fixed upon for the withdrawal of
the Greeks and his addition that who
ever the aggressor might be on the Ma
cedonian frontier he would be punish
ed, coupled with present conditions and
ernment, lead us to the conclusion that
in order to prevent war the Powers will
propose a new method of settlement
The threat of punishment was not SIN
cere we think. What is meant no one
is supposed to know outside of the
council of Ministers, but there are in"
dications that the European Powers
will do everything that can be done to
prevent war on the Grecian border, and
to that end may consent to a modifica-
tion of the present demands upon
be advised to consent to a free Cretan
plebiscite. When that is done the days
of the Turk in Crete will be numbered
The Athens correspondent of the New
York Evening Post" insists that Gre
clan activity in the interest OF Crete is
not because of love of Cretans, nor yet
because the Greeks symDathize with
the movement in the island for liberty
but that it is prompted solely by a sell
fish desire to augment Hellenic impor-
tance and forward a restoration of
Grecian power. However that may be,
we think it cuts small figure in the
case, for the world knows that the
Cretans desire freedom from Moslem
domination and that what follows is of
secondary Importance in their estima-
ton. That they are we'll disposed to-
wards union with Greece is stated by
the priest leader Of the insurgents, but
they wish that to come as the result of
free will action and not at the dictation
Of Greece or any other Power

A ATERRIBlE STORY.
Ocean Passengers Tell a Narrowing Tale of Suffering. Deception and Mistreat-
 ment by the ships Officers.

New York, July 2.-Passengers who ar-l rived here tonight on the steamship AL liancea tell narrowing story of their experience aboard the Pacific mail steam CT City of Para, which left Panama for San Franeisco.on May 23 last. It seems that two days after clearing the Isthmus yellow fever broke out amorg the crew and passengers of the Pacific liner which caused a panic on board, which resulted in the death of the commander of the vessel, Capt. Martensen. Three-fourths. of the passengers, 1t is said, were attack cd by the disease and at least dozen of tn m found watery graves. When the ves- sel finally reached San Francisco the facts of sthe terrible voyage were sup. pressed and the. sickness and deaths were attributed to tropical disenterry. But the passengers who came here tonight say that the symptoms. were plainly thoes of yellow fever.
 The disease was raging on the Isthmus, but when the passengers went on board the City of Para, theys4were told by the officers that they need not have any fear. There was noseffort at fumigation and when. Mrs. Capt. Mitchell the wife of an Engsishman. commanding one of the vessels of the Chilfah line, appeared on the City of Para heavily yelled there was no uns asiness. Three days out she died from the co-called tropical dysenterry." She was buried at sea and the next to be taken down was Capt. Martensen. Be- fore he died the fever had spread all over the ship.s Insthe first class cabin and steerage alike, the yellow death dealer want and how many were prostrated will robably meyer be known. The officers suppressed. every bit of news they could and pr. Renz insisted on his original di- agnosis. At. .Punta Arenas, the Eche- veria family, one of the richest in Costa Rica, took passage on the City of Para, not Irr oxxf Q, hx fH viIlffvv Jack was raging on board sszss, ss-
 The vessel proceeded. on its voyage. Up the coast there werertwo or three funerals day and those who were not affected were panic stricken.s..
 After much pleading, a number of pas sengers were put ashore at Corinto and San Josa. It is alleged that the officers of the vessel supplied the passengers with spoiled meat and this is believed to have added to yellow levers spread. At San Salvador hand- cams aboard and while. the passengers were sick and dying the musicians gave five hour concerts daily.
