CONGRESS GETTING RESTIV-l.
Many Members Object to IA Farther Delay
in the Settlement of the SPaH-
isI Situation.

WASHINGTON, March 30. "A number
of senators and representatives. OF
both parties conferred with the presi-
dent at the white house last night. II
is said that the opinion expressed by
most of those who talked with Mr..
Mckinley was that congress was in
clined to object to further delay toward
a settlement of the Spanish situation
and that unless the next message to
congress was more definite the rad
ical members could not be held in
check.
After the adjournment of the house
yesterday there was considerable dis
cussion over proposed consolidation
of the forces in the house who favor
some form of immediate action on the
Cuban issue. There was q strong feel
ing shown over the avoidance in the
message of any outline of definite
administration policy, and decided
disposition apparent not to await any
further delay nor resort to temporiz-
ing measures.
The project to furnish ad libitum re-
lief supplies to the Cuban nou-com-
batants is meeting with opposition to
which members on both sides of the
house have given voice in private dis
cussion, on the ground, first, that
Spain alone is responsible for the con.
dition on the island, and. second, the
extending of such in large and Proba-
bly, continued aid abroad is unjust TO
the people of this country.

A LEVEE GOES OUT.
Thousands OF Acres Under Water at sulli

and Great Flood Threatened.

SULLIVAN, Ind, March 29.-The levee
on the Wabash river went out last
night with a break of 100 feet. entail
ing n loss of S10O. 600. Twenty thou
sand acres of land are overfowed, and
hundreds of families are rendered
homeless and destitute. Citizens are
responding for miles around in their
efforts to remove families and stock.
Hundreds of cattle and horses
are hemmed in. Such a rush of
water was never known in this Sec
tion of the country before. A calam-
ity, second only to the great Johns
town food. is upon us. The levee is
/ miles long and was built nt cost
of $50, 900. 4 grand effort is being
made to rescue the families from their
submerged homes. The waters are
making a mad rush through the bot
tom lands, uprooting trees and taking
everything in its path. 1t is feared
that many people who were slow to
take warning, will meet death in the
flood. A dispatch from Emerson says
that -, 900 bushels Of corn and 6j hogs
were swept away by the floods.
