Why Troops are Leaving
Cuba.

1t is asserted that Spain is
more anxious to settle her Cuban
troubles just now than she has
been at any period since the
outbreak of the war in the is
land, and the reason thereof is
not difficult to understand. The
Madrid Government III the
first place is rapidly approaching
crisis. On June Ist next it
will be called upon to pay $780,
ooo,oo in interest on the public
debt, and not a dollar is avail
able for that purpose.
Effort after effort has been
made to negotiate loans without
success, and IN the face of this
condition Of affairs the war in
Cuba is piling up additional
debt against her in sums which
foot up many millions. Added
to all this the war between
Greece and Turkey further in
creases the difficulty to negoti-
ate loans, for under the con-
ditions which now prevail i'll
Europe, money is needed at
home by every nation and none
have any to loan.
But this is not all. There is
great unrest throughout the
Kingdom, and the Carlists, un-
derstand1ng this, have taken ad-
vantage Of the fact and are OF
ganizing their forces for another
up, ising. Indeed, of all Spain's
troubles, without and within,
the greater danger now appears
to be nearer at home than Cuba,
aud the belief prevails that it is
for this reason that the home
Government has O.dered the
withdrawal of certain troops
from the is1ands.-Ex.

DEVASTATION AND

ENCOURAGING.

The crevasse i'll the Biggs
levee, La, about six miles be
low Vicksburg, Miss, was 100
feet wide at the last reports, and
rapidly widening. The water
is rushing through with a roar
like Niagara, and all day loug
refugees have been fleeing to
NiCksburg with their stock and
other property. The waite was
fifteen feet deep against the les
wee when it broke and the men
who were OH the spot say that it
poured through in vast circular
masses Or whirlpools 20 feet
high.
A large part of Madison, Tens
sas, Catahoula and Concordia
parishes were overhowed by it
and the resulting distress will be
very great. The number of Ref
ugees in Vicksburg has been
largely increased and they are
coming Oh every boat. The wa
ter flooded the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific railroad
in a few hours, and trains west
Of that place are abandoned in
consequence.
No TOSS OF IIEF
All the COnVicts were at work
on the levee when the crevasse
came, but have been safely put
on board a steamer, and so far
no loss Of life is reported i'll the
vicinity of the latest outbreak.
The outflow Of water at Biggs
will do much to relieve the le-
wees on the Mississippi side. 1t
will also hasten the passage of
the flood through the Mississippi
delta. thus ensuring a crop in
that rich valley. There are
many weak spots reported in
the Louisiana leVec, and another
break may occur at any hour.
MORE ENCOURAGING.

more encouraging. The back
