PRESSURE WAS TOO GREAT.

Great Breaks in the Levee on the Missis-
sippi Side of the Big River-Thousands
of Farms Laid Waste.
TUNIcA, Miss, April 5.-Sunday
morning the Flower Lake levee where
it crosses Yellow bayou gave way.
The crevasse widened rapidly and is
now 1870 yards wide through which the
water is rushing with deafening
sound that only can be compared to
that of Niagara Falls. The levee was
20 feet high at the point where it
broke. The people not only on the
farms near the break, but upon those
some distance from the levee back of
it, have lost large numbers of cattle
So rapidly did the crevasse widen that
the water rushing through it was suf-
ficient to reach the lake parallel to the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad at
Bushby station, which is five miles
east of the break, in remarkably
short time and within an hour had
raised the lake eight feet,
The country affected by this break is
one of the finest in the delta. 1t will
cause the submergence of the entire
southwestern part of Tunica county.
The flood will pass into Coahoma coun-
ty, overhowing Lula and the region
around Moon lake, broadening as il
goes. A portion of the current will
travel to Coldwater river through the
Yazoo pass, while much of it will trav-
el southwark, inundating some of the
fairest fields in Coahoma county.

A GUT IN WAGES.
Several Iron Firms in Pittsburg Reduc

Several Iron Firms in Pittsburg Reduce
the Pay of Their Employees.
PITTsBURG, April 5.-Several mills
and factories have made reductions in
wages which were not accepted by the
men, and now it is expected the United
Labor league, the Amalgamated asso-
citation, Pattern Makers union, Iron
Molders' union and several other Or
ganizations will be drawn into the
labor troubles which will start to-day
at Oliver Bros. Tenth street mill. The
puddlers have refused to work at the
reduction of so cents per ton which
goes into effect this morning, and the
managers will attempt to start the
mill with whatever men apply. 1t is
feared trouble will follow.
A. M. Byers G. Co., who made SINH
lar reduction, have closed their mill, as
they had signed with the Amalgamated
to pay $3.50. They will wait the result
at divers before further action.

One of Uncle Sans War ships Prevents
Fllibustering Expedition Leaving the
Florida Coast.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 5.-The
cruiser Vesuvius prevented Cuban
expedition from leaving Fernandina
Saturday night and captured the tug
Alexander Jones, of Wilmington, N. c.
The cruiser left here in the afternoon
upon information furnished by Spanish
Vice Consul Potous that an expedition
would leave Fernandina at night The
cruiser went down the river and an
chored off Fernandina bar. About 10
o'clock tug with only two lights burn
ing at the masthead approached and
the flash light of the Vesuvius was
thrown upon her. The tug proved to
be the Alexander Jones and the cap
tain gave as an excuse for his presence
that he was waiting for tows. An Off
Ger from the Vesuvius was placed
aboard and then the cruiser went out
to sea in search of the Bermuda, which
was expected.
A steamer was finally seen coming
from the south, having the same sig
nails displayed as those of the Jones.
The flash light was again used, at
which the steamer turned and started
in another direction. A shot from the
Vesuvius brought the steamer to a
standstill and she was seen to be the
Bermuda. The Bermuda was outside
the three-mile limit and under the
British flag, so the commander of the
Vesuvius had no authority to detain
her. The Bermuda apparently had no
cargo on board, standing very high out
of the water. The Jones was escorted
to Fernandina and turned over to the
collector of customs, who placed a
deputy aboard. The tug probably will
be fined for violation of the naviga-
tion laws in having only two lights dis
played.
The plans were for Gen. Sanguilly to
leave this city with party of Cubans
for Fernandina. A small tug was then
to tow two lighters loaded with arms,
ammunition and the men out to the
bar, where they were to be met by the
tug Jones with coal and provisions
and everything was to be transferred
to the Bermuda. The quick action OF
the Vesuvius prevented their plans
from being carried out
