COnyicts Meeting on the PretcVt
That the Food liz had.
San Francisco, Cal. May 3O.-The riotous
convicts in the San Quentin penitentiary
caused no serious trouble to-day, but they
are still defiant. and vaguely threaten
that they will yet compel the authorities
to yield to their demands Warden Hale
is confident that the back bone of the
strike is broken, and thinks that he will
soon starve the unruly men into submis-
sion. They are closely watched, and the
guards are instructed to instantly suppress
any attempts at organized disturbance.
During the regular exercises to-day some
of the convicts not implicated In the
strike, but sympathlzing with the leaders,
pelted the doors of the dungeons where
the men on short rations are confined,
with potatees and pieces Of bread, and in
this way managed to give them considera-
Bile food before the eyes Of the keepers
Shouting and hammering on the doors
was continued all day, but those who app
preached within hearing distance were
greeted with the vilest curses. The men
declare that they will never submit TO dis
cipline again and the prison officials are
fully aware that II will be a difficult task
to restore tranquility.
Warden Hale states there Is no founda-
tion In fact for the complaints regarding
the quality Of food served. He thinks this
charge is merely a pretext for the con-
victs refusing to work In the jute mill and
positively declares that having quelled the
first outbreak he Is now master Of the sill
uatiOn.

CONGO FREE STATE CRUELTIEs.

Gov. Wahis Practically Admits the
Truth of the Charges.
London, May 3i.-Gov. Wahis of the
Congo Free State has a column letter in
the Times this morning, controverting the
statements recently made by Missionary
Sjobloms in this city. at the public meet
ing at Exeter hall, where the subject OF
Western African Christian missions was
under consideration.
He admits the truth of many of the
charges, such as the mutilations and the
severing of hands by the soldiers, which,
he says is a native custom extremely diff
ficut to eradicate. He admits that an
attack was made on the village of Man.
dakavagigs and that many cruelties were
practced there. But he declares that all
these offenses have either been punished
or are being investigated. The letter Is,
on the whole, less a denial of the offenses
imputed by the missionaries than a justi-
fication of the Congo administration.
The Times, commenting editorially on
the reply of Coy. Wahis, thinks it incom-
plete, and expresses regret that the
charges against the Congo Free State
cannot be submitted TO a full and search
ing inquiry.

BREAK NEAR BATON ROUGE.
Bank Gives Way With n Loud Report
and a Torrent Rushes Out.

New Orleans. La, May S0.-A crevasse,
resulting from over-conhdence and re-
Taxation of vigilance, occurred at 6 o'clock
this morning in the levee at Conrad's
Point, four miles below Baton Rouge, on
the east side of the Mississippi river.
AT o'clock this morning information
was received at Baton Rouge that the
levee at Conrad's sugar house was Leak
ing badly, and that crevasse was likely
to occur at any moment. There had been
feeling of almost perfect security
throughout that section and the thought
of a crevasse had not entered into the
calculation of things likely to take place.
There were no laborers within call, as they
had all been discharged and sent to their
homes. The levee authorities at Baton
Rouge hastily gathered a force of men
and placed them on barges loaded with
material, which happened to be anchored
along the front of Barton saw mill. BY A
o'clock a tug was towing the barges of
men and material to the scene of danger.
At o'clock, shortly before the barges ar
rived at the plantation, the levee burst
with a loud report and the water in
stream forty feet wide and seven feet
deep began pouring through the breaks
and spreading rapidly over the fertile
lands in the vicinity. The officials of the
Pontchartrain levee district and Illinois
Central railroad have large forces of men
and material and will no doubt succeed
in closing the break before any serious
damage is done to the adjacent planta-
tions.
New Orleans, May 30, 1880 p. m.-The
latest news received from the erevasse to-
night is to the effect that it has widened
to $50 feet. and that the water going
through is about five feet deep. Several
plantations have been already submerged
and the water is spreading in every di-
rection. Gov. Foster has visited the
break, and will have all the state forces
available Immediately concentrated there
and every effort will be made to close the
creVasSe as soon as possible.
