The shawneetown Disaster.

RIGDEwAY, ILL.,, April 5.-The gap is
over 100 feet wide to-day in the levee
at Shawneetown aud gradually widen
irg. Water is from ten to fifteen feet
deep all over the town. With the con-
tinued cold rains, and the loss of life,
the suffering is little abated. il is
known that from IS to 30 people have
lost their lives. None of the bodi' 8
has been recovered. Every store in
town is full of water and no provisions
can be had only as they are sent from
surrounding towns. Relief committe es
are doing all in their power to provide
for the wants of the stricken people.
The levee Is In precarious condition,
as it is being undermined in several
places. 1t is thought that the loss of
life will reach 100. That number alone
is missing, while it is known that 40 or
so have persisted. The property loas,
to say nothing OF the damage to the
levee and crops, will reach over $500, 600.

"a STEP TOWARD PEACE

A dispatch from Madrid says: THE gov
ornment hiss accepted a proposition which is
a step toward peace. Minister Woodforl is
satisfied with SPANS reply. There was g
meeting on Sunday morning at which all the
ministers were present, and the decision ar
rived ct WAS to take a peaceful view 1t was
sunday morning that the Queen Regent sum-
moned Ministers Sagasta, Gulion and Moret
and informed them that the Pope had offered
mediation and advised that Spain should at
once grant an armistice, as requested ~ the
United States, thus ending tue question of
pea"e or war in favor Of pesos. IN the after.
noon the Austrian ambassador called and gave
his assurance that he would guarantee that
Spain would carry out her part OF the con-
tract, viii is to do everything in her power
to restore harmony in Cubl during the time
the armistice lasts The Spanish government
he's been afraid TO grant an armistice on ac-
count of the army, but the Pope advises the
army as g father and bills it cease its fighting.
Spain only asks one thing in return for this
concession. That is THAI the United States
should meet her half way by simultaneously
withd awing American warships in Cuban
waters. Thus, in this extraordinary series Of
diploma ic changes, the door of peace is once
more wide ope and the Cuban question can
be solved with peace and honor"
