Twenty-three People Dead and 100000
Property Loss ut Shawneetown.
Shawneetown, Ill, April 6.-Twenty-
three known dead, a possibility that
the list may reach 80, and 1,5OO people
in actual need of the necessaries of
life, 700 people homeless and damage
to the amount of 5000, 900 is the net re-
suit of the flood which swept through
Shawneetown late Sunday afternoon.
The break in the dam has widened
to a gap of $50 yards. 1t is said by
those who witnessed its first giving
away that the disaster was caused by
quicksand upon which it's foundations
rested. The first sign of the disaster
was sudden whirlpool about Is feet
north of the dam, as though the bottom
had fallen out of the river. The water
rushing into this hole proved too much
for the quicksand under the dam and
it sank downward.
The chairman of the relief commit
tee says that the things most needed
are blankets, meat, bread, meal and
bacon. There was enough food in the
town yesterday and known to be on
the road to feed the hungry until noon
to-day. 1t is expected by that time
that all actual suffering will have been
relieved. Contributions will be neces-
sary for two weeks.

STRUCK a SNAG.
England Refuses to Join the European
Powers In Offering to Mediate Between
the United States and Spain.

England Refuses to Join the European
Powers In Offering to Mediate Between
the United States and Spain.
London, April 6.-The movement of
the powers of Europe for joint offer
of mediation between the United
States and Spain has received severe
and probably fatal rebuff in the form
of refusal upon the part of the Brit
ish government to participate in it.
Many erroneous hints regarding this
scheme to bring the Hispano- American
quarrel under the jurisdiction of the
concert of Europe" have been tele-
graphed from different European cap
itals. From the highest authorities
an outline of the details of the move
ment, as learned by London diplomats
has been obtained. The project is of
Spanish origin and was set on foot by
two influences, official and personal,
the former requesting the good offices
of the chancellories of Europe to pre-
vent war, while the queen regent at
tempted personally to influence the
sovereigns.
France, not Austria, was the prime
mover in the suggested mediation and
by her counsel it was suggested to the
British foreign office that the powers
unite in a note to the United States
and Spain, offering to mediate in the
disputes between those two countries.
Great Britain, however, definitely re-
fused to join in the movement, stating
that the Cuban question did not con-
cern her. While it is not actually an
uounced that Great Britain sympa-
thizes with American intervention tc
end the war in Cuba, such sympathJ is
fact.
Communications looking to media.
tion are still being exchanged between
the continental powers, but they rec
ognize that Great Britain's refusal tc
cooperate will rob the movement ot
much of its weight.
The emperor of Austria is the most
deeply interested from certain stand
points, but financial interests seem tc
actuate France even more than dynas
tic interest actuated Emperor Franci!

1t VIII Advocate Armed Intervention In
Cuba and Argue Against Recognition oil
Independence.
Washington, April 8. - The presi-
dents message will go to congress to.
day. The message makes about 1000
words and has been approved by the
cabinet. 1t recommends armed inter
vention, but without stating that this
should be immediate, by the United
States to prevent hostilities and to sue
cor the starving people. 1t argues
against recognition of independence at
this time and leaves it clear that in the
opinion of the administration it is the
duty of this government to supervise
the affairs of the island until stable
government can be established.
A debate which occurred in the ex-
ecutive session of the senate yesterday
indicates that no matter what is the
character of the resolution to come
from the committee on foreign rela-
tions, the resolution will cause a seri-
Gus and perhaps prolonged discussion.
1t emphasized the fact that there are
two elements in the senate-one for
independence with intervention, an
other for intervention alone, and these
two factions will fight vigorously for
their. ideas

The Meeting of Gems. Gordon and

TThe meetng OF Gems. Gordon and

"a most pathetic as we'll as one of
the most heroic incidents of the war
of the rebellion occurred on the first
day of the battle of Gettysburg" said
Judge Thomas j. Mackey, of South Car
olina, few evenings ago.
"Lee never intended to give battle at
that point, where the federals held
vantage ground, but was drawn into
the battle by question of shoes. This
last point may seem strange, but it is,
nevertheless, true. Pettigrew's North
Carolina division was barefooted, and
got permission to go into the town of
Gettysburg to get supply of
shoes from the stores. The SOL
diers there met n federal force
and became engaged hotly. Each side
REINFORCED heavily, and the battle end
ed with n decided advantage on the
part of the confederates, who held the
field.
"As Gen. John B. Gordon's brigade
was advancing during the heat of bat
tie, he saw federal general lying
wounded and apparently dying right in
the path. He dismounted, and, raising
the head of the wounded officer, which
lay in a hollow, placed a knapsack be-
meath it. He then gave him some wa
ter and whisky to revive him. He in
quired who he was, and was answered.:

HIS NORTHERN BROTHER


Just make 1t two, old fellow,
/ want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you
AS in the days of yore
Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made us
A nation OF the free.
I whipped you down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run:
On many a held we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray of Southland,
1 wore the Northern blue;
l.ike men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine In friendly clasp,
Our two hearts beat.as one.
And now when danger threatens,
No north, no south, we know.
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head. like yours, is frosty
Old age is creeping on!
Life's sun is lower sinking.
My day will soon be gone.
But If our countrys honor
Needs once again her son,
I'm ready, too, old fellow
So get another gun.
