VIENNA, Feb. l5.-serious Socialist agitations
In several villages In south Hungary have exs
cited the peasantry to rioting and resistance To
the gendarmerie.
In some OF the encounters the mobs were 20
determined in their opposition 10 the gene
darmes that the latter were compelled to charge
upon tho crowd with fixed bayonets In order To
dlsperse them.
The chief centre Of tho agitation Ia at ssa-
bolch. Comitat whence It has spread to the adj
Joining county Of Ssathmar.
The movement. which is aerarian In It's char
ecter. is attributable to the wretched poverty
of the agricultural laborers. which has boon
rapidly growing since the Governments at
tempt to crush the peasants movement at Hod
MeZo Vasarnely four years ngo.
Tho Government has now announced its in.
tontion to adopt remedial measures, but moan
while the disorders are Of n dangerous charac-
ter. A general revolt 10 feared at Karasz,
where a band Of rioters attempted to rescue
their friends who had been arrested.
In one place where tho gendarmes made .
charge upon the rioters a woman was killed by
o bayonet thrust.
1t is reported that 1000 peasants are in open
revolt at Kis-Tarkany. They have murdered
the magistrate and are holding the village
against the troops. The latter, being raised
locally. may possibly fraterniye with the rioters.
A desperate fight between the gendar,nerie
and q large number Of peasants is reported to
have occurred at Agrad. Four persons wero
killed and twenty wounded. The mob plundered
and burned the police station.

HAVANA, Feb. 15.-The noise Of a terrible ex
plosion startled Havana at 10 o'clock tonight.
1t was soon learned by the people who focked
to the water front. whence the sound proceeded,
that the explosion had occurred on the United
States battleship Maine in the harbor.
Definite particulars are not yet ascertainable
but It seems certain that many persons on
board the Maine were killed or wounded. and
possibly the ship is SO badly injured that she
cannot be saved.
From the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII. boats
were at once despatched 10 the side of the Maine
to render assistance.
No explanation of the explosion is obtainable
ut this time. Whether ono of the ship's maya
zines blew up or bombs were placed beside her
and set of by spaniards is not known.
Because of the excitement in the city the mill.
tary authorities ordered troops to quarters. and
the streets are filled with jostling crowds of ex-
cited citizens and soldiers.

The MISSISSIPPI IS UP.
TOO Much Water Causes the
Saw Mill to Shut
Down.
THE WATER Is NOW FALLING.
Sunday Mornings Mark was
the Highest ever
Known.

The rise in tho Mississippi caused
by the late rain storms IL some
thing unprecedented and for several
hours Saturday night and Sunday
caused I: considerable anxiety to
some of our citizens, but az the
river has fallen over two feet from
the high mark and is still falling,
the general opinion is that all dan.
ger, If anything serious did threaten,
is now past.
At six o'clock Saturday evening
the river had reached the previous
high mark, bntcontinued to rise un-
til 6 O'Clock Sunday morning, at
which time it was nearly two feet
higher than the previons high mark.
Some of onr citizens were OF the
opinion that owing to the great
pressure of water, a channel
might work through between the
Broadway tridge and the east end
of the dam, and under the direction
Street Commissioner Lafond a crew
of men and teams worked several
hours to strengthen that place.
The greater apprehension was for
the Broadway bridge, which was
only q few inches above the water
when the high mark was reached,
and If a jam of logs broke loose 1t
would be almost certain to go out.
When the residents Of the city
arose Sunday morning the river did
certainly present a wild appearance.
The West side dixie was overflowed
and the low ground several hundred
feet In width, and extending from
the Pine Tree lumber yards down to
Denis machine shops was covered
with several feet Of water. Several
large piles Of slab wood belonging to
the Pine Tree Lumber company
were toppled over, and ono small
pile was washed tdown stream. A
sectionlof the West side walk, about
one hundred feet In length. was
washed away, and some ballast was
washed out OF the West side tracks,
but this was about the only damage
done.
About three miles above the city
there is u large log jam. This
moved yesterday morning, breaking
some OF the boons, but 1t is now
fast, and in the opinion of those
familiar with river work will re-
main fast unless the river again rises

and reaches q point considerably
above the Sunday morning mark.
The dam suffered some damage by
dead heads getting under planks on
the crest of the dam near the east
end Of the west span. The planks
were ripped off for about forty or
fifty feet and the top timbers even
taken out, but the brock is not con-
sidered serious and can be repaired
in q short time as soon as the water
goes down.
The Pine Tree saw mill shut down
today, as there were only enough
logs sorted to run few hours,
and the management did not deem
it advisable to touch the big jam.
The mill may shut down for several
days.
The log sorting crew of about for
ty men has been laid off for several
days, and thecrew Of fdrivers between
here and Brainerd has also been
laid off and will not be put back to
work until the water falls to stage
where it will be considered safe to
resume sorting logs.

1t is apparent that Little Falls

nearly all points east and north
came reports Of overflowlng streams
and damage by floods.

they went over the dam without do
ing damage.
