Discomfort AT SANTIAGO.
Men Must Have Work or Become
Highway Robbers.

Santiago de Cuba, March Sci
Porvenir, discussing the situation
brought about by the orders from
Havana limiting the total expenditures
of the departments of the provincial
administration to $4,000, says:
There is onl.- one course open to
men who are without work and food,
namely, to become banditti. Hunger
demands bread. The proceedings of
the United States authorities at
Havana are evidently antagonistic to
Major General Wood, and born of
jealousy of his success and popularity
among all classes of Cubans. Three
thousand men have been thrown out Of
employment at only a days notice.
which must mean a serious menace to
public peace and property"
The Independence, Ell Cubano and
the Santiago Herald comment in much
the same strain
Two companies of the Fourth i'm
mune regiment are in the city today
nominally to receive horses, but it is
expected that they will remain at
least week before returning to
Manzanillo.
The courtmartial of Private John
Williams Of the Ninth immune regi-
ment, charged with completely in the
murderouS ARRAY at San Luis, on Nov.
A. is still in session. Thus far. the
prosecution has offered two eye-wit-
nesses, but the other testimony is
conflicting. The judge advocate COM
plains that there is considerable per-
jury among the officers of the regi-
ment. The accused is defended by
Major Harrison. whose orderly he was
at the time. The case will probably
last another ten days and a conviction
is possible.

City Presents a Busy and Peaceful
Appearance.
STREETS ARE CROWDED
DESULToRY FIRING CONTINUES
ALONG THE LINES.
Inferior Arms of the Americans Give
Insurgent Sharpshooters An Ad-
vantage-our Troops Still Equip
ped With the Springdelds-Health
of the Men Is Improving.

Manila, March 6.-The United States
transport Ohio arrived yesterday. In
the last two days there has been a
very noticeable change in Manila for
the better, probably due to the arrival
of reinforcements for the American
troops. Numbers of people are seen
upon the streets and the amount of
business transacted in the stores has
marvelously increased. Yesterday the
Luneta was blocked with carriages, for
the first time since the outbreak, and
the band of the Twentieth regulars
played a number of airs, and it was
hard to believe that a state of war eX-
listed.
Outside the city there was desultory
firing throughout the day and at vari-
Gus points the sharpshooters We're most
annoying. At San Pedro Macad the
rebels are very active, erecting en-
trenchments in front of the position
occupied by the Washington troops,
although a two-gun battery of the
Sixth artillery repeatedly shelled them.
The enemy are fully alive to the fact
that Mausers have a much longer
range than the Spring1elds and are
continuously taking hot shots" in
comparative safety. The American
soldiers dislike this passive resistance
and are eager for the excitement of an
active campaign.
Despite the heat. the health of the
men in the trenches has improved re-
markably.
Assistant Engineer Winship, of the
gunboat Bennington was wounded in
both legs yesterday by volley from
the shore.
The maritime steamer Ell cano has
arrived from Iloilo with advices that
all is quiet there, and that business is
brisk. The natives in the interior. the
steamer reports, are leyying upon the
supplies in the hands of the natives
and seriously interfering with the work
upon the plantations.

AN EvENTFUL VOYAGE.
Transport Puebla Encountered Ty
phoon and Three Lunatics.

San Francisco, March 5.-The trans
port City of Puebla has reached this
port, after an eventful voyage from
Manila. Her passengers include Lieu
tenant Goodale of New York, L1euten-
ant Bradbury of Los Angeles, twenty
conyalescent soldiers of various regl-
ments, six sailors from the Baltimore
whose terms have expired, and MISS
West, a Red Cross hospital nurse
The Puebla made the trip from the
Philippines in tllirty-nine days, includ-
ing a. stop of six days at Nagasakl
Soon after leaving the latter place the
vessel encountered a terrible typhoon,
and was hove to for tWenty-tour hours,
practically at the mercy of the storm.
Great seas swept over her and part OF
her bulwarks and deck furnishings
were carried away. The vessel IS
staunchly built, however, and no serl-
Gus damage was done.
The day after the storm subslded
John NcKenna. the chief steward, de-
veloped symptoms of delirium tremens
and was locked UP for three days. On
Feb. 10, he prevailed upon his guard
to darken his room and took advantage
of the opportunity to commit suicide
nv cutting the arteries of his wrists
with q corkscrew. He was buried at
sea. One of the returning soldiers also
had an attack of delirium and was IN
danger of death for a week. Shortly
before the transport reached san
Francisco James Jamison, one of the
sailors. became insane and was brought
here in close confinement. The Puebla
brings no news not already cabled
from fine islands.

FLOODS N THE OHIO VALLEY
ALL TRIBUTARIES ARE ON A
RAMPAGE.
Two-thirds of Charleston, w. Va,
Under Water-Eeavy Rains Have
Filled All the Streams.

Cincinnati, O., March 5.-During the
last two days there has been heavy
rainfall, principally south and east of
the Ohio river, extending from below
the Kentucky river UP to Morgantown,
w. Va. Tonight two-thirds of Charles
ton, w. Va, is under water. The river
at that point at this writing is Al 25
feet, which equals the highest previous
record at that point The United States
engineer says it will likely reach one
foot higher, making AZ 20 feet. On the
north side of the Ohio the streams are
full, but not dangerous. Above Par
kersburg to the source of the river the
streams are high, but not all dangerous
to the extent of those in West Virginia
and Kentucky.
The weather bureau at this point
sent out tonight danger signals to
Point Pleasant, Catlettsburg and
Portsmouth. The heaviest rise is in
the Great Kanawha, but the Little
kanaWha, the Big Sandy, the Licking
and the Kentucky rivers are pouring in
tremendous floods. Nothing yet has
been heard from the Tennessee and the
Cumberland, but from reports of rain
fall in the watershed of the rivers it is
presumed that they are keeping pace
with the rivers above them on the left
pank OF the ONO. "A saving CLAUSE III
the situation is the fact that every
where south and east of the Ohio river
the weather tonight is windy, clear and
cold. Still another condition favorable
to a comparatively slight flood in the
Ohio is the fact that during the warm
weather of the ten days preceding this
storm all the snow melted in the noun
tains and the foods from there have
been carried well down the river.
At all points on the Ohio river from
Galliopolis down to the Kentucky river
the Ohio is rising. At Catlettsburg,
where the Big Sandy comes in, it is
highest, 40 feet, and rising six inches an,
hour. There seems to have been
trough of very heavy rainfall in West
Virginia between the base of the Allie
ghenies and the Ohio river. At Cincin-
natl the river is As feet at o'clock to-
night, and has been rising three inches
per hour for the last fifteen hours. I'm
less the floods in the Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers should prove much
greater than anticipated, and thus cause
backwater, the maximum stage here at
Cincinnati will probably not exceed Sc
feet. Should it reach that stage it will
stop cars from running into the Union
Central station, which will be a COM
paratively slight embarrassment. No
other roads here will be affected in the
slightest by the stage of the river. This
prediction is based on the presumption
that the weather will remain fair for
four or five days.

GEORGIA GOLD MINERS.
Decide That Concentration Is the
ONLY Profitable Method.

Atlanta, Ga, March 5.-Gold miners
from all sections of north Georgia, at
a convention here, formed a permanent
association, to be known as the South
ern Gold Miners association. A consti-
tuition and bylaws were adopted, and
it was decided to hold the annual meet
ing in Atlanta in December. They came
to the conclusion that there is but little
to be made out of milling propositions,
pure and simple. There ought to be
concentration where the ore is run
through stamp mill and the concen-
trates can be chlorinated or smelted.
A number of miners, speaking of the
new smelter which is to be put up here,
said that they could not afford to ship
their crude ore. but could mill and ship
their concentrates, which would stand
the cost of hauling, freight and smelt-
ing. II. D. Jaquish, president of the
association, presided. Papers were read
by Captain Otto c. Scuppin, manager
OF the Betz mine, and by F. V. Taylor
of Gainesville.

BELGIAN QUEENS ILLNESS.
a Serious Relapse and the Last Sacra-
ment Administered.

Brussels. March 5.-Queen Marie Hen
riette. who has been suffering from bron-
cho-pneumonia. had a serious relapse at
noon today. Her physicians were in con-
slant attendance throughout the after
noon and early this evening the last sa-
crament was administered.
At that hour there seemed no hope of
recovery, but a bulletin at 10 o'clock this
evening showed a slight improvement and
afforded a base for reviving hope. All the
members of the family have been sum
moned.
Queen Marie Henriette of Belgium. a.
daughter of the late Archduke Joseph of
Austria, was born Aug. %. 1896. She mar
ried King Leopold II of Belgium, then the
Belgian crown prince, on Aug. Y, 1888.
Leopold II assembled the throne on the
death of King Leopold ] in December. 1860.
The king and gu en- of Belgium have three
children, all daughters. The eldest, Prin-
cess Louise. was married to Prince Philip
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She recently
separated from her husband, and is said
to be mentally deranged.
The second daughter, Princess Steph-
anie married the late Archduke Rudolph
of Austria, the imperial prince. who COM
mitted suicide on Jan. go 1889.
The third daughter is Princess Clemen-
tine now in her 9th year.

Toulon, March 5.-The naval maya
zine of La Goubran, between La Seyne
ana Toulon, in the department of war,
southern France, exploded at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. All Of the SOL
diers on duty at the magazine We're
killed and a number of inhabitants of
the district, the buildings of which
were RACED, also fell victims. Forty
corpses have already been recovered.
The cause OF the explosion is not
known.
Fifty thousand kilogrammes of black
powder exploded. 1t looks as though
a volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare with
in a radius of two miles, houses des-
troyed, trees overturned and fields
devastated and covered with stones and
impalpable black dust. Some of the
stones are enormous. One weighing
fifty kilogrammes fell in the suburb of
Pone de Las.
Signs of the explosion are evident in
all the suburbs of Toulon and in the
city itself. Even at st. Jean de Var,
five miles distant, windows were shat
tered and doors battered in.
Later reports show that OF the seven
sentries, four were killed outright and
the others severely injured, the corporal
being literally scalped and the scalp
overhanging his face like a veil.
A large number of soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris,
but the work is very difficult.
1t is impossible to ascertain accurate
ly the number killed.
Although it was a clear night the
explosion was so terrific as to produce
a Slight rainfall Fortunately the
neighboring magazines escaped.
Ii is now believed that the explosion
originated in chemical decomposition
in srnokelesS powder. There is no
suggestion of foul play. Today the
whole city is in mourning, flags are at
half-mast. the theatres are draped and
the casinos closed.
Both the government and municipal
authorities are forwarding relief funds.
Nj. Lockroy, minister of marine, has
telegraphed 10000 francs toward the
maintenance of the families of the
victims, and a public subscription has
been opened here.
-Four of the injured have succumbed
70 their injuries. 1t is believed that
fifteen are still buried in the debris.
All the bodies found or recove. ed are
terribly mutiiated. Sixteen were
found in the rocks near the shore and
It is feared that others were DreciDi-
tated into the sea-
a vehicle moving along a road near
the sea was lifted bodily into the water
by the force of the explosion, two of
its occupants being drowned.
The scene at the village of La
Goubran was appalling. kilograms
from Nice say the explosion was dis
tinctly felt there.

Situation at Charleston.

Charleston, W. Va, March 5.-The
Kanawha valley was visited today by
one Of the worst floodssin local history.
After several days of heavy rainfall,
the Kanawila Elk river. in an unpre-
cedented short time, has covered al
most the entire valley. Charleston is
almost entirely under water. -Four feet
surround the state capitol. The mayor
and leading citizens have opened re-
lief station and are distributing pro-
visions and clothing among the suffer-
ing. Considerable damage has been
caused to the coal property and a dozen
barges swept away. The Black Cat
coal tipple, near the east bank, was
destroyed. Tonight the waterworks,
both gas plants and the electric light
works are shut down and the city is in
darkness. Hundreds of families are
quartered in the capitol, court house

Mechanics.

New York, March st developed at
the meeting of the Central Federated
Union today that a strike Of $1,000 or
10000 mechanics is threatened. The
strike, if it comes, Will be due to
troubles among the workingmen. AT

men of his organization to strike
against their will. There mas been a
strike at the new building of the Uni
versity club, and the unions affiliated
with it are engaged with the Building

the board of delegates, and when called
upon to strike by the Building Trades
Council they promptly refused to do so.
Delegate Archibald said that since that
time strong effort has been made to
force the paper hangers at work upon
the University club to strike. This eff
fort is still being made by the Building
Trades Council. A committee from the
latter body Informed the contractor

continued to permit the men to stay at
work they would order strikes on all
buildings where men of unions affiliated
with the Building Trades Council were
employed The Central Federated Union
will take immediate steps to remove

KIPLING IMPROVING.
But His Daughter Josephine Is Dan
gerouslY Ill.

New York, March 5.-According to the
reports of his physician, Rudyard Kipling
is now far advanced on the way to re-
covery. All through the hours of Satur-
day night and early this morning the ia
vorable conditions increased. He slept
peacefully many hours. and when he
awoke it was clear that he had made an
other powerful stride toward health.
'The Improvement in Mr.. Kipling' S
condition" said Mr.. Doubleday this morn
ing. lis perhaps more marked than at
any previous period of his illness: He is
emphatically a winner this time
The following official bulletil was posted
at the Hotel Grenoble at o'clock this af-
ternoon:
Mr.. Kipling is convalescing, with slight
continuing fever The Improvement In the
lungs has advanced, though 1t is not yet
complete"
1t was said that Mr.. Kipling's daughter
Josephine is dangerously i'll at the home
of Miss Deforest. She is reported to have
suffered slight relapse during Saturday
night. There was no change in the con-
dition of Elsie, the youngest daughter,
who is suffering from pneumonia at the
Hotel Grenoble.

SMALLPOX At CLEVELAND.
All the Occupants of An Apartment
House Are Guaranteed.

Cleveland, O., March 5.-A case of
smallpox was discovered today in big
downtown apartment house. in which
nearly 200 people are living. The victim
is an attorney and he was the room
mate of Frederick Ii Taft, assistant
county solicitor. The sick man was sent
TO the smallpox hispital. while Mr.. Taft
was committed to the detention house,
and all the inmates of the building
were quarantined in the apartment
house.
The situation is ludicrous in some
respects. Those who were in could not
get out and all who were out when the
case was discovered We're refused ad-
mittance to their rooms unless they
were willing to submit to the Quaran-
tine regulations. Most of the people
Took it g0od-naturediy. They commu-
nicated with their friends by telephone
and some of them Let down baskets by
ropes from the upper stories and hauled
up various supplies Of which they were
in need.

HUDSON RIVER FLOOD.
Lowlands Submerged As Result of
An Ice Gorge.

Troy, N Y, March 1.-The ice in the
upper Hudson, the Mohawk and the Hoo
sick rivers broke up tonight. after several
days thaw and warm rain. The result is
a flood at this point and north of here,
which threatens to be disastrous. The ice
is heavy and at Mechanicsville has form
ed a gorge of great strength.
The back-up caused by this gorge has
submerged all adjoining lowlands. and
the roadways are under water. Between
this city and Albany the ice became wedg-
ed in Schuyler creek and the mouth of
Dry river, running through Watervliet.
Streets have been flooded in the latter
place. and the Albany City railway tracks
between MenandS and Watervliet are sub
merged, making it impossible to use but
one track.
The docks along the river front here are
under water, and the indications are that
the freshet will reach the highest point
in many years.
