Twenty-Three Known Dead

Shawneetown, H., April 5.-Twenty-three known dead, a possibility that the list may reach thirty, 1500 people in actual need of the necessaries of life, 700 people home less and damage to the amount of $2O0 900 is the net result of the flood which swept through Shawneetown late Sunday after noon. There is possibility that the num- Der of dead may exceed the list by the small margin. - to the town unless more storms set in and

As was said above, the recognition of the independence of state Is matter of fact. and not a matter of expression of sympathy. An expression of sympathy ought not to have that form. Our sympathy for the strug- gling patriots of Cuba will be expressed in active intervention more in deeds than in words, and the question of the real gov- ernment there will be determined when we understand what we want We are in the dark now. When we have more light and more knowledge and better understand ing, we can decide better"

Landslide for Democrats

Milwaukee, Wis, April 5.-The municipal election which was held in this city today resulted in landslide for the democratic populist ticket, which elected the entire city ticket by a plurality of about 5000. It was victory for municipal ownership of public utilities, that being the principal plank in the platform. The convention which nominated the successful candidates also indorsed the Chicago convention which nominated W. J. Bryan, but the silver is- sue, was not touched upon in the campaign.

THE SCHEME
 FOR MEDIATION
Notes Pass Between the Pope and Senor GuIIon.
REPLY FROM MIR. M'KINELY
Vatican Won't Declare Its Tenor Correspondent 1 ofLondon Paper Says Spain Refused Arbi- tatOn-Times Says opportuniyfor ! Mediation Has Passed.

Rome, April 5.-1O D. m.-There has been active exchange of telegrams this after noon between the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, at Madrid, and Mgr. Del Val, the pope's private chamberlain, with the view of drawing up with the consent of the pope, the exact terms of the armistice for Cuba which will be proposed, it is said by the pope, imme- diately after the terms are drawn up and
 the hope is expressed at the vatican that
 it will be agreed to by the authorities at
 Washington.
 In clerical circles it appears to be under stood that President Mckinley may bring pressure to bear upon the insurgents to induce them to accept an armistice, and it is understood the pope will then exert sim liar influences through the episcopacy in Cuba It is hoped here that the armstlce 2 proposed will be definitely drawn up to- morrow or Thursday. The vatican author ities this evening absolutely refuse to fur nish any information relative to the dis patch which President Mckinley is said to have sent the pope on the subject of the latter's mediation with Spain, and in which the president was represented to have out lined his views on the Cuban situation. The clerical organ. The Observatore. Ro- mano, is equally silent.

ST. JOHNS IN. F.). March 27.-The

to Bay De Verde last night with story
of terrible disaster to her crew on We'd
nesday and Thursday while among the
ice foes in search of seals, arrived here
this afternoon. She reported twenty
five dead, twenty-five missing and sixty
six so fearfully frost bitten that about
twenty of them will lose their limbs.
Already relief fund has been started
to assist the relatives of the deceased.
The Greenland drove ashore In Bay
De Verde last night during heavy gale,
her anchor chains parting, but she got
off again without serious damage. She
had a narrow escape while making st.
Johns Harbor. owing to the imperfect
compass and a thick fog. A man who
was watching her from the rigging of a
vessel near by fell to the deck and has
since died from his injuries.

ernment to the American memorandum

ernment to the American memorandum
of March 23d
The Spanish reply, couched in firm
language, says that the Spanish Gov
ernment cannot agree with the conclu-
sions the American Government has
drawn from inaccurate information
that does not tally with the recent ac-
tivity and progress of the military pre-
parationS in Cuba and the visible pop
ularity and progress OF the new colo
nial institutions, which have been loyal
ly accepted and are supported by even
the old adversaries of home rule in the
colony.
SPAIN the reply continues, cannot
naturally admit the interference which
is foreshadowed in the American note.
and deprecates the sending of official
relief and war vessels to Cuba, as being
the very elements that have retarded
the pacification of the colony. Spain
reminds the American Government of
all the concessions she has made to
preserve peaceful relations and to con-
ciliate the United States, the last proof
being her willingness to submit the con-
fiicting commission reports as to the
Maine to arbitration.
I'm conclusion the Spanish reply
shows that the Government believes
it has reached the extreme limit of
concessions compatible with the honor
and dignity of Spain, and will not admit
encroachments on her rights of sover-
eighty in the West The matter now
rests with the President. and both Gov
ernments evidently consider the Maine
affair mere issue in the more import
ant issues about to be raised by the
conduct of the United States"
