IMPOSSIBLE JUST NOW.


Officially Stated 'silat the Indian MINIS
Will Not Re Opened to Silver.
LONDON, March 31.-The house of
commons was occupied for some time
during the day in debate on Indian
currency. Lord George Hamilton, Sec
rotary Of state for India, admitted that
it would be impossible to reopen the
minis without some international ar.
rangement, which at present seems
quite out of the question. He pointed
out that nobody had blamed the gov
eminent for declining the American
and French invitations to reopen the
minis. >..-- x
AS matters now stood he believed an
international bimetallic agreement inn
possiblea because France could not
accept a less ratio than 15% toll, which
could not be secured. .
To his view it seemed impossible thatl
any nation, by its own unaided efforts,
could rehabilitate silver. America had
made great effort, but had not sue
oeeded. He contended that the policy
introduced in India in 1898 mad fully
justified itself and that to attempt to,
reverse it now would be lunacy.

will not meet until May 4, the Spanish
government will not on it's part object

Cuban Government Makes Statement to
the President.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Cuban
government (meaning thereby the pres
ent home rule authorities in Cuba, and
not the insurgents) have appealed to
the president of the United States to
respect the will Of the majority of the
people Of Cuba. The appeal declares
that the majority represents those in
favor Of home rule under Spanish SOW
ereignty; that the insurgents are in the
minority; that the majority has right
to rule its own destinies; that it would
be an injustice for foreign will, mean
ing the United States, to impose upon
this majority a political regime con-
trary to it's will, and that it would be
great wickedness to dispose of its lot
without its own consent. The appeal
to the president does not in terms pro.
test against the United States securing
independence of Cuba, but it's tenor is
to protest against any form of Cuban
government other than that now being
carried on by the Cuban authorities.

A TOWN WIPED OUT
FEARFUL CATASTROPHE OCCURS AT

Caused by tho Breaking of the Levee.
Death List Not So Great as First Re-
ported, but Will Still Probably Reach
Hundred-Most of the Buildings in
the Town Swept Away.
.RIDGEwAY, Ills, April 5.-Almost
tWn score bodies of victims of the
Sha Wneetown flood have been recov-
cred and hundreds of homeless people
are dependent upon charity for food
and SHELTER The death list is likely to-
be largely increased when definite in.
formation from. the negro quarter,
which suffered most, is secured. The
flood burst upon these people without
warning and owing to the weak con-
struction of their shanties they toppled
over in the rush Of water, leaving their
inmates no means of getting out of
danger. Hundreds Of people who lived
farther front sought safety on roofs
and in upper stories, or
Made Race to the Hills

as rapidly as possible to places where
they can be given proper care. No ef-
fort has yet been made to search for
bodies, the attention of the relief par
ties being directed almost entirely to
providing supplies and making the
homeless as comfortable as possible.
The relief work is we'll organized and
the tents, blankets and food sent by the
governor will be promptly distributed.
Those who escaped lost every thing and
their homes are in ruins. It is esti-
mated that the loss Of life in the negro
quarter may reach 50.

The flood struck Shawneetown with.
