A Few Days Will Tell the Story at New
Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, April 24.-The monster
river stood still Thursday. Clouds
gathered, but no rain fell. 1t was al.
together a fine day for work and great
work was done. There is need for it.
New Orleans and Algiers have sew
crald weak levees to look after.
Just below in ST. Barnard are
two, just above, taking both sides OF
the river together, between here and
Baton Rouge, are half a dozen. New
Orleans has 1000 men at work, and tine
other places have many more.
Lumber in carloads and by the train
load is being used, and the rally be-
fore the last days of the flood is mag
%nificent. 1t is one of the finest fights
in history, and only a few days more
remain before the crisis will be reached.
As previously stated, the battle has
had its lessons, and a great deal has
been learned about the way to obtain
the most strength of ~levees, about
portance of proper drainage for the
embankments, 4 point which was
heretofore almost entirely neglected.
Now the state experiment station at
Audubon park announces a number OF
interesting tests in progress. Various
kinds of earth are being submitted to
outer pressure as to it's penetrability,
and when the experiments are COM
plGted the science of levee building will
be much more exact.

river, the Greeks having blown up the
bridges. These reports have had a
very depressing effect here, when
takenin conjunction with the fOrmida-
BILE resistance which the Turks have
met with around Tyrnavo. 1t is stated
shat OSman Pasha, the hero of Plevna,
as TO be sem to the seat of war in order
to direct the military operations against
tie Greeks.
Additional Forces Ordered C~ut-Edham
CONsTANTINOPLE, April % After
uoon.-An additional force of Rediffs,
or army reserves. has been called out
70 reinforce the Turkish troops operat-
ing against the Greeks. They consist
of the koniah brigade from Ceraria, a
delegation from Samyra belonging to
= the Third army corps; three brigades
from the Fourth army corps and a di-
vision of the Fifth army corps. These
men will total up - additional battal-
ions of troops numbering 50, 400 men.
1t is now definitely announced that
Osman Pasha, the hero of PIevna, has
been appointed commander-in-chief of
the Turkish army having its headquar-
ers at Elassona. Edham Pasha has
l5een recalled. In addition Saad Edin
Pasha has been appointed to command
the Turkey army having its headquar-
Sers at Janina, replacing Ahmed Hifzi
Pacha who is also recalled.
The new Turkish commanders start

A. J. Raish, Contractor,
Arrested on Two Seri-
GUS Charges.
Accused of Pilfering a Contract
From the Street Department
and Altering 1t.
He Alleges That He Is Innocent and
That It Will Prove to Be All
a Mistake.

A J. Rash, the well. known contraction,
will have 10 answer to two serious en- arges
preferred against him by the Street De-
partment.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Maxwell
of the department appeared before Judge
Low and swore to Two complaints against
Raish. One was for stealing q contract
from the office of the department and the
other was for altering il. In other words,
stealing public record and altering it.
The contract was No. 5S19, entered into
between property-owners on Broadway
between Taylor and Jones streets and the
San Francisco ? aving Company, TO curb
ana pave with cobbles and bitumen the
roadway. 1t was filed with the Superin-
tendent Of Streets on August 6 last.
Rash called at the office of the Super
intendent of Streets Wednesday to see the
contract. There has been trouble between
him and the property-owners regarding
the payment forthe work and a suit has
been threatened in the civil courts.
The contract was handed 10 Rash by
Deputy Maxwell and just then a cry was
raised that the murderer, Durrant, was
passing along the corridor. All the depu-
ties rushed out of the office 10 get a look
a Durrant. When they returned Rash
had take. his departure.
Maxwell missed the document, and
after making q search coulI not find il.
He notified Superintendent mbrose,
who instructed him 10 see Rash. Max
well went 10 Raish's office, and Rash gave
him the document, stating that IN the
DuTrant excitement he must have put it
III his pocket by mistake.
An examination OF the contract showed,
according 10 Maxwell, that several names
had been added TO the list OF property
owners who originally signed the con-
tract, ard he figures of the froutages had
been altered. When Sup rintendent
Am brose learned these facts he decided 10
take Steps 10 have Rash arrested, and
Yesterday Maxwell swore 10 the COM
plants.
Rash was arrested, but was imme-
diaiely released on $4,000 cash bail, $1,000
on each charge. He sad it was all a III -
take and would be amica bly, settled. Dur
ing the Durrant excitement he ran out OF
the Office, and must have by mistake put
the contract in his pocket along with
other papers. He said nothing about the
alleged alterations.

INSURREOIIUNS IN GUATEMALA,
Coffee Tlanter Says That They Do
Not Amount to Mnch.

Coffee TlantPr Says That They Do
Not Amount to Much.
T. P. Smith, a coffee planter from
Guatemala, arrived at the Grand Hotel
Wednesday after visit to New York. He
after the interests of his crop, which he
says has ju7t been harvested. he related
a few in Cidents OF the insure ction OF the
people of Guatemala, and stated that for
the most part the peorle of that country
were easily melted, but that the iIsur-
rections did not amount to anything.
"As soon as there is an uprising the
telegraph and postal systems and no news
OF the instruction is liable TO get out
unit! the trouble is over" said Mr.. Smith.
This is what makes the reports of in
surrections in that country so unre-
abe. The people living in Guatemala
do not learn much OF what is taking place
a the front or where the trouble is being
crushed out. They occasionally see few
soldiers on their way to the mountains,
but that is about all they hear of the in

In speaking of the possibility of any of
the federation OF Guatemala, San Saliva
dor or any OF the other Central American
countries, Mr.. Smith said he did not think
that they could be satisfied with such an
arrangement. A people who have annual
instructions would not agree together
very long. Com bine three families or Gov
ernments, and they would probably have
three insurrections q year.
