Western. Railroad is one of great devas-
for wagon traffic Railroad bridges are
washed out by the dozen and no trains
We're run since Tuesday night. George
w. Stillwagon, who has charge Of the
wrecking crews, said that he and his
men were never in more dangerous po-
sition than they were in clearing the
track of the piles of debris and getting
q wrecking locomotive and train of cars
on the tracks. Theroad bed sank in sew
eral places. It viii take weeks of labor
TO get the road in good shape again. 1t
win be several days before temporary
bridges can be built to allow trains to
pass over. The flood and washouts rep
resent a loss of thousands of dollars.
The bridges at De Haven and GlenshaW
were rushed down Pine Creek and tossed
about like feathers. Steel rails, pig
iron and all the available material along
the road We're snapped up to weigh down
the bridges which are still standing.
The streets of Glenshaw and Wittmer
are completely submerged, and the fam
lilies living in the valley are in a state OF
terror. Many were trying to get to the
hills in boats and RATS, taking what fur
niture they could with them. Everybody
feared that the catastrophe of last yeaI
were lost. Cattle and horses We're
f1oundering about in the stables and in
streets, sending forth plaintive cries.

KASSON WILL CONTEST,
One Of the Attorneys Fined for
Contempt of Court.


STOCKTON, March 24.-To-day' S
proceedings in the Kasson case were
quite sensational. Hot words passed
between attorneys, one of whom was
fined SO for contempt of court The
attorney stated that he would not pay
the fine, however, and the court re-
marked:
Very WELL proceed with the case"
The outcome was a rather sensational
scene at the noon adjournment Judge
Jones requested all the lawyers to re-
main in the courtroom. They did so.
Calling up the attorney whom he had
fined, he said
Il imposed a fine on you which I
understand you refused to pay. Do
you still refuse to pay it?'
Yes, sir; / do" said the attorney
Mr.. Clerk" said the Judge, taking
a ten-dollar gold piece from his pocket
and handing it to the Clerk of the
court, please enter that fine as paid -
The attorney said he did not want
any one to pay his fine, and handing
$50 to the clerk, told him to give it to
charity. The clerk refused it, but later
when court reconvened accepted the
fine and $40 more, with the under
standing that it be given to the OLD
Ladies and Children's Home.
The only important development Of
to-Gay's trial was the testimony %
Mrs. Malloy, the alleged widow of
Kasson. Yesterday she could not re-
member whether she had obtained n
divorce from Kasson, and to-day. she
was positive that she had. She was
on the stand all day on cross-examina-
ton.

! Lieutenant Friend w. Jenkins of the
Maine was found early this morning
near the torpedo tube aft, as it has been
hoped would be the case. The remains,
of course, were badly decomposed,
though not so bad as many others found
previously since the explosion. 1t was
recognizable, aside from the clothing.
On his finger was found a gold clasp
ring, with a blood stone seat with his
monogram and inside the inscription,
IF. W. Jenkins. Glass 'S6, u. s. N. A.
Private papers We're also found in his
coat pockets. The body will be pre-
pared for burial as we'll as possible, and
will be enclosed in metallic casket and
sent to Key West Saturday. Thence it
will be disposed of as decided by the
relatives of the deceased in the United
States.
Two of the eight torpedoes carried by
the Maine have been recovered.
Regarding the use of dynamite by
the contracting wreckers, Captain
Sigsbee said today:
More has been made out of the mat
ter than was warranted by the facts,
which are these: The contractors
asked my permission to use dynamite
leave to use dynamite tape to blow off
protuberances, angles, etc, where the
wreckage is SO entangled that it is
very difficult to hoist There never
was any intention to use the explosive
in large enough quantities to destroy
the wreck. l submitted the request Of
the contractors to Consul General Lee
for him to ask permission from the
Spanish authorities, and l also asked
for orders from the United States Navy
Department. Both our own and also
the Spanish authorities refused the
necessary permission. That is all there
was to the matter"
On the same subject Consul General
Lee said Il transmitted Captain
Sigsbee'S request made on the part
of the contractors, to Captain General
Blanco, and received q reply that the
matter was too important to be settled
without reference to Madrid General
Blanco also intimated that the United
States Court of Inquiry having sat in
judgment on the disaster to the Mains
it would he unwise to destroy by the
use of dynamite the wreck upon which
judgment was formed Last evening
l had word from Captain Sigsbee that
the United States Navy Department
forbade the use of dynamite on OF
about the wreck. The papers here to-
day say Madrid has sustained General
Blanco's prohibition against the use of
dynamite on thc wreck"
The result viii naturally delay the
work in removing the debris, and also
it is possible, necessitate the use of
more hosting apparatus. 1t is prob
able that the wreckers wished most To
use dynamite or dynamite tape to set
the top off the wreck, so that the ten
inch guns could be hoisted out.

CROPS IN SAN JOAQUIN.
Farmers Will Resort to Irrigation
Unless Rain Soon Falls.

STOCKTON, March 24.-Within two
weeks irrigation will be in general use
on the reclaimed lands, unless rain
falls before then
At high tide the water of the San
Joaquin River is three feet above the
less elevated fields of grain, making ir-
rigation possible without pumping. In
some places the levees will be cut, and
in other siphons will be run over the
tops of the entertainments. A siphon
for this purpose is now being made.
1t is foot and q half in diameter.
A main supply ditch is run along the
inner side of the levee, from which
lateral bitches q hundred yards apart
extend into the fields.
Farmers on the islands say with no
more rain or irrigation they will harv-
est from twelve to fifteen sacks of
grain to the acre, and with artificial
irrigation the crop will be average for
the 10000 acres. The i, 600 acres on
the reclamation district is now being
seeded to beans and potatoes, with TO-,
600 acres of grain.

Sloan was again the lucky man at

CINCINNATI, March 24.-At 10
o'clock tonight the Ohio River at GIN
cinnati registered u feet 212 inches,
rising an inch an hour. This is a rise
of six inches in four hours between u
and 10 o'clock The sky is overcast,
but not threatening. The mercury
registered II, with a tendency to rise.
Reports from Northern West Vir-
ginia. at the source of the Mononga
hela, brings news of heavy rains last
night, and of a rapidly rising river to-
night. This is an assurance that the
Ohio will have a protracted high stage
of water. 1t is also an admonition
that prodigious flood may be expected
should the tributaries receive an ac-
cession of rain within two or three
days
Reports from all quarters of the OHIO
Valley are of drizzling rain or cloudy
skies. No clear weather is reported.
All up-river towns report the Ohio lis
ing rapidly except Wheeling, where 1t
is stationary.
Interior towns in Ohio that have suf-
fered inundation and damage are ind
ing relief by the recession of the
waters. Loss of life is reported at
Hamilton, Ohio, where the Great
Miami swept away two cottages anC
drowned six inmates, namely: Mrs.
Charles Whitman and her three small
children and Mr. and Mrs Charles
Springman.
GAINESVILLE reports the drowning of
the infant son of Mrs Charles Wuest,
and of a man named Deacon Jones, also
of the drowning by the upsetting of a
slxiff of Mrs. James Brennan and child
and John Leach and the drowning of
Mrs. Mary Church and Timothy Jones.
The story of loss of life by the rail-
road wreck near Columbus, Ind, not
only lacks confirmation, but is posi-
lively denied.
The railroad situation in the interior
of Ohio is improving. Cities cut from
the world yesterday are getting trains
out tonight by repairing tracks or by
detCUrS over other roads
In Cincinnati the following is the
railroad situation: No trains on the

TALK OF INDEMNITY.
II We Put in a Claim Spain Will
Do Likewise.

HAVANA, March 24.-It is most prob
able, indeed it is almost certain. that If
the United States Government claims
indemnity for the loss Of the Maine
Spain will put in a counter claim for
hundreds of millions of dollars fer dam
ages through filibustering expeditions
fitted out in America and permitted to
sail from American ports
One of the highest Spanish officials in
Cuba stated that SPANS answer to an
American demand for Maine indemnity
would surely be as indicated He re-
luctantly admitted that blank refusal
to pay for the battleship would not be
backed by Europe, but he seemed as
sured of the fact that should Spain Of
fer to pay promptly. say 500, 100000 for
the Maine if the United States would
pay S100,000,0O0 for Spanish losses
through Cuban filibustering. Austria
and France would at least endeavor to
make the matter one of arbitration and
thus to give to Spain the things she has
been clamoring for the last three years,
and the only thing she has gained
time. :
Should SPANS indemnity for the
Maine disaster become a question for an
international board, and should its de-
cision be the deciding point of American
Intervention, either America will have
to feed Cuba at least a whole year more
or the Cuban race will become practic-
ally extinct. For delay after delay will
surely consume that much time.
If the Cubans are to live the United
States will have spent by that time as
much for their food as the cost of the
Maine. If they are to die, the quicker
their misery is ended the better
Although hundreds of tons of food
have now been distributed to starving
Cubans and the Bishop of Havana
blesses America for its Christian spirit
the Spanish Government in Cuba stif
denies that there is misery in Cuba.

FRESNO, March 24.-There were nc
startling developments in the Tulare.
train robbery case to-day. Regular Of
ficers and special detectives are busy
on the case, but if any important cleW
has been obtained it is carefully
guarded as a secret. Joe Foster OF
Wildhower, who was arrested in this
city Wednesday evening on a sus-
picion, was released this morning, thert
not being enough evidence to warrant
his being held.
The rewards now offered for the rob-
bers amounts to $1,000 each. Of this
the United States Government offers
81, COO, Wells-Fargo and the Southern
Pacific Company $1,000 and the State
its standing reward of $500.
The local officers are at present busy
looking up the movements of suspicious
characters on the night of the rob-
berry.
Postoffice Inspector Thrall states
that the amount of currency in the
registered letters did not exceed $500.
The orders, etc, are not negotiable, and
payment has been stopped.
THE SEARCH FOR THE ROBBERS.
VISALIA, March 24-Sheriff Merritt
and Postoffice Inspector Culver left
this morning for Kings River swamp
to hunt for the train robbers. Deputy
HARRISON and Officer Stewart also left
for the scene of the robbery and the
surrounding country to follow up some
clues. 1t is believed that the desper-
ADDE'S are in hiding in the swamp OF
Kings River.
GOT But LITTLE MONEY.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24-Th.
local officials of Wells, Fargo & Co.
deny the statements published by the
newspapers to the effect that the
Goshen train robbers secured in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in gold and
currency. They assert that while they
have not yet received the way bills,
they are confident that no such amount
was in the safe, as they had not been
notified of any unusually large ship
ment and that the sum of money gen
orally carried upon the local trains is
very small. They decline, however, to
estimate the amount stolen.
A representative of Wells, Fargo &
Co. stated officially tonight that the
loss of the express company by the
Goshen train robbery was merely nom
inal. In demonstration of this state
ment, the fact was cited that the rob-
bers, not content with the express rob-
berry. had looted the mail sacks, evil
IDENTIFY disappointed at the amount con-
tanned in the Wells-Fargo treasure box.
It was pointed out that robbers rarely
NEEDLE with mail pouches, fearing the
inevitable life penalty if convicted, and
that they would not have risked this if
the sum realized from the express rob-
berry had at ell adequately repaid them
for their hazardous undertaking. The
Wells Fargo official claimed that, be-
ing local train, a few hundred dol
lars would cover the amount of treas
ure taken from his company's messen-
gers.
