"Will we Have War; is his Burning
Question Won't Give Mckinley

WASHINGTON, April 4.-When con-
gress met today the galleries were
packed and excitement. ran high.
Speedy acti was demanded. The
presidents dictatory policy was pub
hcly denounced. Members of the
house said they would break away to-
morrow. Republican members will
confer this afternoon to discuss the
question. They feel that the post
ponement of the messse is merely for

it is based on Spain immediate ly leav-

After tile house met Cannon offered

Bailey instantly objected. ''I want to
know If we are going to have war;" he
passionately cried. This called out

not suppress. 1--WE will wait the pre-

WASHINGTON. April 4.-This morn
ing the pesn party is united while the
war party is divided. The war party
is led by Senator Foraker and q large
mum ber of other prominent men who
want interve otion for the sake of free
ing Cuba and to relieve the suffering
reconcentrados. Many members of the
house, however and most of the navy
men, care little or nothing for the re-
concentrados-:ie ey want to avenge
the Maize disaster. Those who pre-
dict peace say that the recdncentrado
faction easily predominates the war
faction. It needs but a glance at the
lesdiog newspapers of the country to
see the Cuban que stion is at the front
and the Maine disaster has been sue
cessfully forgotten. The situa'i ion,
therefore, entirely depends upon the
reconcentrados ard the Cubans. Spain
has only to feed the former and grant
an armistice to the latter which today
she says she will do, to deprive the
war party of it's ,chief excuse for a.
ton. Your correspo ldeut Saturday
said: "Look out for coup Monday"
AS the issue of peace or war may be
settled this week, review of the in
fuences at work may be timely.

CARMIE, 1fls., April Shawnee
town place of about 1900 inhasit tspt ts
near here was almost wiped out of ex-
istence by the levee bursting last eve
ming. The break is very la ge and
within an hour scarcely vestige of
the town was left. It is believed this
morning that 25O people were caught
in the sudden hcod aud drowned.
Hundreds. of others were swept into

meagre but such as it is, it is thought
that 300 are lost.

Cloise. All telegraph aud telephone
wires are down and all attempts made
% communicate with Shawneetown are
in vain. There is rumor.. that from
100 to 500 people are drowned.
The scene was one of horror as the
Immense body of water came down uu-
suspe ecting upon the people like q tidal
wave. Houses were iif. ed up and roll
ed over, or torn into splinters. Dozen
of inmates were drowned in them, and
til ose who got out trusted themselves
to the black, swirling waters, whose
actions was like tremendous cyclone.
Screams of agony came from the float :
ing wrecks. This morning m ny
dead were hosting on the Ohio. 1t is
believed that over two hundred peop
were caught on the sire cts and crushed
in the frightful impact of houses
as they were crushed together by the
fearful flood. Many were caught in
these death traps before they heard the
first angry roar of waters. This is
evidently the most frightful disaster
of the kind known in the history of
thi. part of the country.
Tnis af1ernoon it is known that loss
life is mu,h over one hundred. Relief
expeditions, ordered by Gov. Tanner,
are being rushed to the. scene. Two
