CINCINNATI. o.. March 26-Tonight
the outlook for a great flood in the
Ohio river is almCct dishealtening. The
total absence of definite news of the
terrible extent of cloudbursts in the
interior of Ohio demoralized all fore
casts. River men, who habitually I'M
derestimate great floods, set the maxi
mum of the present one at fifty-one
feet. None were more surprised than
they when the river. al noon today,
passed the fifty-five-fovt mark here,
ten feet above the danger line, and
rising rapidly.
With the appearance Of light rain
this afternoon. transformed tonight
into a heavy rain, they are filled with
approximations of flood above the dis
astrous one of 1884. All depends upon
the extent and severity of this rain
storm now coming from the southwest
Here in Cincinnati merchants from
Second street and from West Pearl
street to the rivers are moving goods
from inundated cellars as rapidly as
possible, with the prospect of having
to remove them to the second story.
Street railroads are flooded between
Newport and Dayton, and between
COvington and Ludlow, Ky. River
navigation is embarrassed here be-
cause of a flooded landing. The only
place for landing goods is at the river
and railway trains for the station in
the West end.
AS predicted in these dispatches last
night, the Grand Central depot has
been flooded, so that no trains can
enter it since noon. Trains entering
that depot all have emergency stations
outside that they are using. Sixty feet
of water will not cut off any railroad
in Cincinnati from using it's own line
SiXty-one feet would cut the Pennsyl-
Vania off, but it can make a detour by
the Cincinnati Northern and the Bal
timOre and Ohio Southwestern.
The present outlook is for SO and
possibly go feet on the present rise with
out aid from the rain fall of tonight
Barring the gloom this rain storm
brings the condition of the homeless
in stricken interior cities is improv-
ing. Provision for their relief has been
generously and speedily made by their
neighbors.
The damage thus far at Cincinnati
has been what the people of the flooded
part of the city are accustomed to an
nualy.
At o'clock tonight the Ohio river
was rising at all points from Gallipolis
to Cairo.
At Z o'clock tonight 1t was stationary
at Gallipolis, but rising rapidly at all
points from Cattletsburg to Cairo.
AT Cincinnati at 10 o'clock tonight it
was 56 6-1O, and still rising one-tenth
of a foot hourly This looks very
much like go feet viii be reached by
Monday, with a contingency of an
alarmingly greater rise conditioned up
on the strength of the present rain
storm. Points on the Ohio river above
Gallipolis river report a receding river.

LONDON, March 26.-Elaborate pre-
cautions have been taken to keep any
information from reaching the press
concerning Mr.. Gladstone; but it is
learned that his condition today is
most critical.
Next to the probability of wars, the
public Is most keenly interested in the
condition of Mr.. Gladstone, though not
permitted to know how i'll he is Per-
haps it should be said he is not so
much i'll as that his powers are fail
ing, and that he is apparently sinking
under the weight of years and vital
exhaustion. The best Informed people
admit that his recovery is impossible,
and that his physicians only hope to
alleviate the pain he is suffering. The
Lancet says on the subject of the sur
gical advice called in:
This can scarcely be interpreted
otherwise than that there is serious
cause for the symptoms from which he
has suffered for nine months. AT his
| great age the gravity of any surgical
ailment is apparent, and the eXhaus-
| ton in consequence is prolonged. The
! severe neuralgia is in itself an I'M
| favorable feature. His vitality. how
| ever, is wonderful, and his general
| health is good
An examination of the patient with
the use of the Roentgen rays disclos-
ed infiamed cartilage, but there was no
sign of cancer. Although inquiries and
press paragraphs are strictly kept
from Mr.. Gladstone, it is said he has
bid farewell to several old friends, and
knows his end is approaching.
Referring to his illness, Mr.. Glad
stone said to friend: "A final lesson
| a final trial.
The old statesman has been sensibly
! happier at Hawarden than at the Ri
viera or Bournemouth.
A painful incident of Mr.. Gladstone's
! illness has been his bombardment by
unlimited spiritual advisers. Not a
mail reaches his residence without con-
| tanning a shower of chapters of the

vided and shallower. A nine thousand
dollar nugget has been found on Edo
RADIO creek, they say. 1t is estimated
by them that $4,000 600 in gold will
be brought out this season.
In speaking of the finding of the So
600 nugget MIR. Goodwin said:
That sounds like a tall story,
know, but it is a fact. The nugget has
considerable quartz mixed with it, and
is as big as a small pail
The owners name, Mr. Goodwin said
is being kept dark, as he hopes to get
it out intact without paying royalty
on 1t. Several rich strikes have also
been kept secret for similar reason
The party left for Dawson on Feb
ruary Is. In recOunting the events of
the journey Goodwin stated that for
the first 600 miles the cold was intense
and travelling extremely difficult AL
the confluence of the Stewart and Yu-
kon rivers, they met the Northwest
mounted police detachment with 700
pounds of mail. Mr. Goodwin states
that at a very conservative estimate
at least twenty tons of gold will be-
brought out in June when navigation
opens.
The country around Dawson was
black with smoke from fires burning TO
thaw the frozen ground. Claims are
frequently changing hands. Quite re-
Gently the Healy company had paid
''Nigger Jim $225, COO for three claims
on Bonanza creek. Claims on Bear and
Dominion creeks. on Indian and Klon-
dixie rivers respectively had been sold
as high as $4,000.
On Hunker creek $40, 500 had been
paid for half interest by a man nam
ed Elliott. and $40 900 for a whole claim
Skif Mitchell, owner of No. 1 Edo
RADIO, was buying several claims on
Hunker, when they lert at a high
figure.
In Dawson $50 per cord was the price
paid for wood. Before the party left
many reports were coming in of rich
ness of Clarence Boyce's claim on the
hillside of Eldorado.
Reports were also being received
every day Of rich finds on American
creek, on the American side. Rosebud
creek is also drawing much attention
None of the party brought out much
actual dust, as drafts could be obtain
ed at Dawson for gold at $3.50 per
ounce, and very few would pack dust
under these circumstances.

SIGSBEE SAILS FOR HOME

KEY WEST, March 26.-The steame,

tonight, brought all the officers of the
Maine except Lieut.. Commander Vain
wright. With the exception of Chap
lain Chadwick, they proceeded to Tam
pa on their way North. They received
a warm welcome during their stop
over here Capt Sigsbee said when
shown the Associated Press bulletin
regarding the ultimatum to Spain:
This looks like war"
HAVANA, March 26-No one present
will ever forget the scene in the cabin
of the Olivette just before that boat
sailed for Key West today. On the
center table stood large floral piece,
intended to represent a ship Near
the flowers stood Consul General Lee.
AT his left was Capt. Sigsbee, while
grouped around were naval officers and
newspaper men, to the number of a
score. American ladies were there too.
There was sadness in all the faces.
for the time had come to say good bye
to Capt. Sigsbee and his officers. In a
voice trembling with emotion, Gen. Lee,
in behalf of the newspapermen, pre-
scented the flowers to the captain, say
ing:
"They are given as a token of high
regard and deep love; regard for your
superb qualities as an officer and as a
man. love for the ma gnificent attributes
of heart and hand which have made
you pre-eminent among your fellows
With wet eyes, and those who looked
on felt the moisture, too, Gen. Lee bade
Capt. Sigsbee and his companions
adieu, wishing them good fortune
now and always" to which there was
a deep chorus of assent, as Capt. Sigs-
bee stepped forward into the circle.
For a moment he could not speak.
but he recovered his voice and then
expressed his thanks in the simple,
manly manner so characteristic of him.
Sigsbee's Response.
The captain could not trust himself
to speak of his ship, but he could say,
and gladly, what he had put into cipher
dispatches to the navy department,
that all the newspapermen in Havana
had treated him with absolute good
faith; had never intruded upon him,
and had never taken advantage of the
confidence placed in them
Continuing, Capt. Sigs5bee said he
recognized that they had orders as
stringent and difficult to carry out as
those given him.
Then, turning to Gen. Lee, Capt.
Sigsbee paid him a high tribute. He
said: I'VE all love him (cries of Fright
geniality and good judgment persona
fed" The captain also said: The
United States has no better represen-
tative abroad than gallant F'itzhugh
Lee, it's consul general at Havana -

How a Confederate officer Put Two
Privafes of His Company to
Shame

From the Chicago Tribune.
CHARLESTON, s. c., March 49,
Courage on the, battlefield is not the
only thing that makes q soldier" said
an eX-Confederate officer to a corre-
spondent of the New York Sun. 1T is
very easy for a man to be brave when
he is shoulder to shoulder with his
comrades, but it, is different on other
occasions. 1t reminds me Of an incident
that came under my notice during the
late war. One day the captain of a
company received word that the Union
soldiers had taken possession Of q big
mansion and 1t was thought that some
of the soldiers had been left behind
concealed in the building. lieutenant
and two privates were Immediately de-
tailed to make an stigation. They
reached the place easily. The lower
floor was examined, but nothing APP
peared to be wrong further than the
removal of few valuables. The family
had fled at the approach of the enemy.
The men crept up the stairs and looked
over the second story. 1t was the same
as on the first. In the hall, however,
there was ladder leading to q trap
door in the garnet The door was
swinging down and it was evident that
some one had climbed up to the ceiling.
The lieutenant said that the garnet
would have to be searched. He told a
private to go first.
1.-THE private refused absolutely He
said it was certain death and that if
he was soldier he did not expect to
have his head smashed open simply to
look for Union spy. He said he would
take his punishment at the camp, but
he would not stick his head through
the trap door. The second private was
told to close the swinging door. He
refused. His reason was that he had
a wife and children at home and it
was not bravery to stick his head in
the fire.
Without word the lieutenant
climbed the ladder and poked his head
in the doorway. 1t was very dark and
he shut his eyes, expecting every mo-
ment to have a big ak slash out his
brains. He remained there a half
minute and then came down, closing
the door after him. He told the priv
ates that he would not report their
cowardice to the captain, but during
the remainder of the war those two
privates were the bitterest enemies the
lieutenant ever had. 1t was human
nature, 1 suppose, for them to hate
him."
