While there was no attempt to foro,

the Cuban situation in the Horso -
Monday, there was one brief onthrool
in which the warlike temper of tba s"'
leries was manifest. 1t came over o En- fn
to authorize the President to erect .a VA

business. In the Senate prepared snnooh
es upon the Cuban situation were daI;ro-
ed by Messrs. Perkins of California w.
of Georgia, Mantle Of Montana and Pow:
Inns of Utah. The sundry civil appronr..
ton bill was then taken I'D.
The whole of Tuesday in the Uonso
was spent on the private calendar with
the result that several bills were nossod
among them one to pay the heirs of ,Tobn

claim which has been pending dozon
years, and another to pay 0. G. Boshv

of whom took strong grounds for vicor.
Gus and instant action by the United
States.
The House on Wednesday took ID the
consideration of the army reorganization
bill. The request Of the President that
action on the Cuban question be DELAYED
until after receipt of his message the
next Monday was granted. Ten minutes
after the Senate convened consideration
of the sundry civil bill was resumed, and,
with the exception of eight minutes con-
sumed by the executive session. in which
Senator Davis announced that 70 mes
sage would be sent in. almost the entire
session was consumed by the appropr;a
ton committee.
Almost no routine business whatever
was transacted by either branch of Con-
gress on Thursday. Congressman and
Senators alike devoted most of their time
and attention to Cuban affairs. Efforts
were made in both houses to decide upon
some plan of action when President Me
Kinley's message should have been sent
to Congress on the next Monday. The
bill for the reorganization of the army
was under consideration in the House. 1t
was opposed by Mr.. Sulzer (N. ~, and
Mr.. LEM (Ohio). the latter making a Sc
we're onslaught upon the administration
on account of its course in Cuban affairs. (
The administration was defended by Mr..

from appealing to the Governor for the
declaration of martial law.
The revised list shows twenty-five dead
beside two unknown negroes, the bodies OF
whom were recovered Tuesday. afternoon.
Unofficial estimates place the dead at
from thirty-tve to sixty. The fatalities
are expected to reach this number, as
manyMpersons are unaccOunted for, as IN
the case of wagon and team containing
three persons which is reported to have
been blown off the rock road into the
flood waters. The work Of the forces
engaged has been almost exclusively OF
rescue and relief. No effort had been
made up to Wednesday to recover bodies,
most of which were supposed to be i'm
prisoned in collapsed houses. The entire
time and energies Of the relief committee
have been devoted to the survivors.
Twelve hundred persons are absolutely
dependent on the charity of the pubic.
Every man, woman and child in Shaw
neetown, rich or poor, must receive pro-
visions through the relief committee I'M
til the property buried in the stores OF
the city is recovered.
A careful estimate Of the damage to
property places the amount at $15O,OOO,
divided equally between business houses
and residences. Relief boats from Evans
vile and Cairo brought in additional pro-
visions Tuesday. The homeless were shell
tered from the cold, cutting rain Tuesday
night for the first time since the town
was inundated. Tuesday afternoon 500
tents arrived from Springfield by direc-
ton of Governor Tanner, and fifty more
were sent by the citizens of Harrisburg.

WAR IN THE TROPICS.
The Grave Difficulties of Campaign
ing in Torrid Cline.


The difficulties of conducting war in
the tropics is great. This Government
has had no experience with campaigning
in the tropics. A good many years ago
the Seminoles in southern Florida went on
the warpath. There were only 5000 of
these Indians, counting bucks, squaws
and papooses. To subdue them the Unit
cd States sent an army Of {, 400 men. The
Seminoles fought about as the Cubans
have been doing. They lodged about, hid
in the everglades and bushwhacked. The
Seminole war cost the lives of 1 ,531 SOL
diers, of whom 5S fell in battle, PA died
of wounds and ], 259 succumbed to mala-
rial diseases. The United States has
paid $53,OO0,O00 in pensions to survivors,
widows and orphans of the Seminole war.
The expeditions of the British and 9th
er European powers in the West Indies
and Central America have always result
ed in an enormous loss of life from dis
ease. In 1741 Vernon's expedition to
Carthagena cost over 10000 lives. Other
disasters due to similar causes have mark
ed all Eng,ands military operations in
American territory. The intense heat
the noxious vapors, and the poisonous
dews and miasmas that arise from the
tropical swamps are almost certain to re-
suit fatally to those who are unac cus-
toned

REVIEW OF THE DESOLATiON AT
SHAWNEETOWN.
Exaggerated as First Reports Were,
the Truth Shows that the Disaster
Was Frightfu1 - Submerged Homes
Are Pi11aged.
Many Absolutely Destitute.

Pillage and plumber have been added to
the horrors Of the Shawneetown flood. 1t
became necessary to call out armed men
to guard the salvage. Hundreds of houses
were entered by vandals and money, jew
elry and other property stolen Monday
night. Men armed with loaded Winches-
ter rifles and shotguns have patro1ied the
levee, on foot and secured the town in
skiffs. The mayor had almost decided to
call for militia, but was dissuaded from
his purpose. A lynching was narrowly
averted Tuesday afternoon by the pros
pective victims fright. He had been ac-
cused of attempting to break open a flood
sufferers trunk. Constable f. o. Minter
ordered the man, a negro, Tom Hancock.
to leave town at once on pain of death.
III string the rope around your neck my
SELF the constable declared, and fifty
voices yelled approval. Hancock fled
down the levee.
Mayor Carney, at the request of the
citizens committee, detailed special Off
GERS along the levee, and to scout in skiffs.
The citizens executive committee is com
posed Of Charles Carroll, chairman Karl
Roedell, treasurer; Rev. Fred Bueckman,
secretary, and Mayor Carney. Chairman

militia might tend to additionally demon
alize the situation deferred the mayor

New Army Uniform.

One hundred sample canvas uniforms
have been ordered by the War Depart
ment, with a view to their general intro
duction as light and serviceab.e fed

marked departure in uniforming the
army, and one in the interest of preserving
the health of the men while in active ser
vice. The color is a gray brown, said to
be particularly desirable in time of hos

err places announce they will live in Shaw
neetown no longer. In fact, it is con-
servatively predicted that when the flood
subsidies the town will have lost more
than three-ffths of its population, chiefly
by removal to other points.
Of the 500 houses in the town at least
100, mostly small frame structures, in the
poorer portion Of town, south of the
