Negroea Robbing Nagroea.

Cow thieves have been industriously
at work at Nut Bush lately. More than
o dozen COWS have been stolen, and
most of them from negroes. It is be-
lieyed that the thieves were impressed
with the belief that there would be
less danger of detection IN stealing
from negroes than there would be from
the white people, and hence the negro
cattle-oWners have mostly suffered.

The Bohemian Flats Half Under Water

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 2s.-The Bo-
hemian flats on the east side of the
Mississippi river are half under water
tonight and the residents nearest the
river have been forced to take to the
hills. The remainder of the residents
will remain up all night to watch the
rise of the river. The gauge shows
that the river had passed the ten-foot
mark shortly before ten o'clock this
morning and since that hour there
has been a steady but slow rise.
The ice has been going out all
day and gorged at the high bridge
at South st. Paul. AS it is thawing
very rapidly the gorged ice is becoming
rotten and will break away probably
during the night. Lake Pepin, the
arm of the Mississippi at Lake City, is
reported still solid, but is expected to
break up during the next three days.
All the rivers to the north are rising.

armed Cretans and Greeks suddenly
boarded the steamer Herakl1on, which
was lying at the Piraeus, and overawed
the crew by a display of revslvers.
They then proceeded to jettison the en-

sisted of flour for the Turkish troops

frequent feux de 5oi.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 2S.-Another
day has passed with no break in the
levee system either above or below this
point, and tonight finds those most di-
rectly concerned in the stability of the
levees decidedly more confident in pre-
venting disaster.
The chief interest of the day CEN
tered at Helena, Ark, and Green Vile,
Miss, and every hour at those places
was turned to hard work by the male
population, reinforced by hundreds of
volunteers, and at other shaky points
in the systems hundreds of convicts
have been kept busy. In this way the
chances are decidedly in favor of hold
ing the levee against the flood pressure.
Maj. I. G. Dabney, chief engineer of
the YazOO-Mississippi levee board,
wires tonight that ''they we sue
cessfully combatted all special danger
that has arisen so far and 1 feel more
assurance than heretofore that we will
pull through, though the pressure is
enormous along the lower 40 miles of
my line"
NJ. Gileas, assistant general superin-
tendent of the Valley line of the Illi-
noiS Central railroad, wires at p. m:
''Have just seen the Longwood levee
that was reported to have been broken.
The levee is yet intact and large
force is raising it."
There are no new developments of an
important character in the levees along
the Arkansas front. River here stands
36.3, a fall of one-tenth in "a hours.

The Situation Growing Worse Hourly.

QUINCY, Ill, March 2S.-The Missis-
sippi continues to keep up its average
of the past week and marked another
rise of six inches to-day, bringing the
stage up to Is feet above low-water
mark. Reports from northern points
are very discouraging and the indica-
tions are that tomorrow will see an
other six-inch rise. The situation is
growing worse hourly. Hundreds of
families have been driven out of the
lowlands which are unprotected by
levees. The water has inundated
the Missouri bottoms for a dis
tance of seven miles back from
the river bank. Up in the levee
districts things look gloomy. AL
though the water has not yet reached
the top of the levee, break is expected
at any time, and big force of men are
working night and day to strengthen
the weak places. Another force is en-
gagged in patrolling the levee. The
damage already done by the flood is
great, but will be nothing compared to
what it will do to the thousands of
acres of cultivated land between here
and Warsaw should the levee break.

A War without Quarter Threatened.


LONDON, March 29.-The Telegraph
publishes dispatch from Suda stating
that insurgents yesterday fired upon a
Russian torpedo boat, which replied to
the fire. The dispatch adds it is feared
that war without quarter will shortly
begin, with the Cretan Christians
pitted against the Turks and Euro
peans.
The dispatch confirms the reports
concerning the desperate feeling that
exists in the island.
To Secure the Water Supply of Canea.
CANEA, March 29.-Three hundred in
ternational troops have been dispatched
to the village of Outsonnaria, where
are located the springs which furnish
this city with its water supply. They
will guard the springs to prevent their
capture by the insurgents who. were
they to obtain possession of the water
supply, would practically have Canea
at their mercy.
Since the capture of Malaxa by the
insurgents they have massed them
selves on the heights above the town
of Suda and commenced an attack upon
the Izzedin fort. To-day the Italian
war ships in Suda bay, supporting the
Turkish garrison, fred upon the Chris

Base Ball Players and Cricket
Men in for Sport.
base ball hui, composed of Asso-
citation members is working on couple
of good sporting schemes. One is to
organize from the ranks of strictly base
ball players a team to meet the best
eleven of the regular cricket players
of the city. The latter would include
men from the Honolulu club and from
the Theo. H. Davies & Co. team.
Another scheme on the stocks is to
have practice game OF base ball next
Saturday, practice all Of next week
and then on Saturday, the 18th, have
an admission game between two pick
ed mines for IS and 35 per cent Of the
gate receipts.
For some time; in fact ever since
the season closed, there have been re-
quests for more base ball. The boys
realize that only the genuine article
would be approved and will endeavor
to arrange a game worth seeing.
AS to cricket, there is bound to be a
surprise of some size, no matter what
the result of the proposed novel match.
The cricketers would think they had
an easy affair and the base ball tOssers
would be of the opinion that the eric
ket men could not possibly have any
chance of winning.

The program was replete with strong
numbers and could not have been bet

The Beethoven "sonate" is one of the
best of this composers and showed
to great advantage the fine ensemble
work of Miss Clymer and Mr.. Yarnd-

Mrs. Cooper appeared at her best in
the two songs "Tu Me Diraie'' and
'Schlummerlied," the charming rendi-
tiOn of the latter piece enriched by

earned for the singer hearty applause.
Mr.. Lampert proved conclusively his
ability to handle the most difficult
music in mastery manner and the
"Fantasie Impromptu" in G sharp
minor, which was substituted for the

proved him the possessor of finished
style of execution, the contrast between
the first and second movements being
very marked-he showing in the second
movement the dreamy and melancholy
mood of Chopin The singing tones
of the performer were likewise in evil
dence. The marvellous wrist technique
called into requisition in the Kullock

work is Mr.. Lampert's especial forte.
