SOUTH AMERICAN WIVES.
There Are No Married FIirts in Tina,
Country


The men in South America hold their
women in highest respect. Not only do they
accord them the polite distinction of out
ward Difference, but they guard them with
an earest solicitude that protects them
from every care, and they bear for them
every burden that man can carry for wou,-
an. The chivalry OF the olden time sur
wives among these people, and that is
doubtless one reason why the women are
so contented with their lot A charming
sonora assured writer in the current
number of the "Woman's Home Compan-
ion," that the South American women
make the best wives in the world and | do
not doubt it. After marriage the woman
is as one lost to the world. Her career is
finished so far as matters outside her do
nestle affairs are concerned. Her sphere
of influence is henceforth enclosed within
the triple courts OF her husbands house.
and consists in bringing up her children
ana IN exercising mild sovereignty in her
domestic domain. There are no married
hirts In South America, no scandals caused
by unfaithful wives, no ambitious women
pining In their secluded homes, SO far as is
known. ssg
There are no woman's rights conveu-
lions, no woman's temperance societies. no
daughters, no mothers meetings. There
is not even a woman's whist club in the
whole country. The wife knows nothing
of the family finances, and she is not con-
suited in the consideration OF her hus-
bands serious affairs. The question may
well be asked by the women of the United
States. What in the world do these women
90 with their time? and the answer is
that their days are quite as full Of activi-
ues' mental and physical. as they wish
them 10 be. South American women do
not crave the freedom and the puhlicItv
OF life they see enjoyed by their sisters in
this country. They prefer the secIusion
with the protection OF their own method
Of life. They are very charitable. TOO. and
are kindness itself to the poor people in
their neighborhood, as they send portions
Of bread and meat every day to their poor
neigh Ors.

Z DALLAS, Tex, April 80. The floods

property damage. .5; 5
The people are alarmed for the safety
Of the waterworks, which are seriously
threatened. A 9-foot rise is sweeping
down from the headwaters of the Trim
ity. This will cause a big overflow in
the vicinity Of Dallas and Fort Worth.
Reports from Waco say the list of
dead there will reach from 10 to 10 per-
sons. a.:..as..
The property damage in the city will
exceed $150,000. The telegraph lines Of
both companies are gone south Of Waco,

The railroad movements are abso-
lutely suspended south Of Dallas, on
almost every line in the state. The loss
by flood and hurricane is estimated to
reach SS,0oO,0o0 to IS, 600, 900, including

SEND A GUNBOAT.

Administration Receives Confirmation of
Report That Carthagena Is Captured.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The state
department has received confirmation
of the press report that Carthagena has
fallen into the hands of the insurgents.
The information comes from an indi-
rect but reliable source. The taking of
the town is regarded as matter of the
greatest Importance, for Carthagena is
the principal seaport Of Colombia and
collects most Of the customs revenues of
the country. Consequently it's capture
will greatly strengthen the revolution
lists. It is probable that the navy de-
partment will dispatch one of the
smaller gunboats now cruising in the
West Indies to the seat of trouble in
order to insure American interests
against loss.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. April 30.-By the
collapse of the framework of the main
building of the Dimmick Pipe and
Foundry company in the course of erec-
tion, two men are dead and eleven are
injured, at least two of whom win die.
The building was 300 feet long and
100 feet wide. While an immense beam
was being placed in position on the
roof, 80 feet above the ground, it fell,
and striking the next beam, knocked it
down. The second beam knocked down
the third and SO on, until 26 beams had
fallen, causing a general collapse of the
structure. About 80 men were at work
on the building at the time and of this
number, IS were on the superstructure
and went down in the wreckage. Those
on the ground floor escaped through the
windows.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The United
States government has not received the
slightest intimation from any European
nation Of disposition on it's part to in
terfere in any manner in sthe present
dispute between the United States and
Turkey over the American indemnity
claims. 1t may also be said on the best
authority that none of the representa-
tives in Washington has requested the
state department. to deliver itself Of any
explanation Of it's intention affecting
Turkey, nor does our government antic-
ipate any interference by third parties
in this matter so long as our claims are
confined to their present perfectly legit-
innate basis. ALI that can be stated by
authority respecting Mr.. Griscom's
course at Constantine is contained in
the general declaration that he is pur-
suing instructions to insist to the Turk
ish government upon a redemption of
its promise to pay the American in
demnity. claims. Naturally the officials
decline to intimate what steps will be
resorted to in case Mr.. Griscom's re-
quest is denied. They prefer to believe
that the demand will meet with sue
cess. The phase to be feared is procras-
tination on the part of Turkey, some
thing harder to meet than an unqualifi-
ed refusal to pay. It is understood tina
Mr.. Griscom is shaping his representa-
tions to the porte with special reference
to the avoidance of this pitfall.

AT Least Eight People Known to Have
Been Drowned. fsio# Il
WACO, Tex, April 30.-A cloudburst,
accompanied by a high wind, descended
upon this city at noon, and the result is
that eight people are known to have
perished in the city limits and property
valued at several thousand dollars has
been destroyed or injured. The killed
are: Mrs. Nancy Caudle, Miss Clara
Caudle, Rosa Chapman, Emma Decker,
Thomas Capps, Frank Walker, and two
a5groes; names unknown.
The downpour of rain commenced
about noon and was incessant until
dark. It was in the shape of a water
spout, and the rise in the creeks and
branches was SO rapid that it did not
give the inhabitants time to flee.
The number positively known to have
been drowned within the city limits is
eight, and it is almost certain several
more lives have been lost. Searching
parties are out looking for the drowned
and helping to move those who are in
danger or distress.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The exam

before the military committee of the
house. He explained in detail his in
structions. In a telegram from Secre-
tary Alger, May 81, he had referred to
General Merriam IS original instructions,
General Merriam testified that he had
never received any 'toriginal instruc-
tions'' beyond the direction to proceed
to Idaho to put down the insurrection.
Regarding the incident of the pump
men at the Tiger and Poorman mine, he
said Governor Steunenberg had asked
what could be done to save the mine in
case the men declined to take out per-
mits He had replied that he did not
feel competent to advise. He knew
that to have allowed the mine to be
filed up with water would have de-
stroyed it as effectively as to have blown
it up with dynamite. . >.
Attorney Robertson conducted the
cross-examination Of General Merriam.
In reply to series Of questions Gen
eral Merriam testified that martial law
was declared by the governor of Idaho,
upon whose request the United States
troops were furnished, and that the
section Of the Revised Statutes requir-
ing the president to proclaim a state of
;sssurrection did not apply. Some of the
federal troops, he testified, were in
Idaho, and some on thsir way there be-
fore martial law was declared, May 8.

question as to whether he now consid-
cred the people Of Shoshone county
capable of self-government, said he was

Porte Will Probably Not Pay. Without a
ssG- Demonstration.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Friday, April 27.-
The United States legation has not yet
received the porte's answer to the note
handed to Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish
foreign minister. by the American
charge d'affaires, regarding the indem-
nifty claims, Ind the impression is gain
ing ground that the reply will be in the
negative or even that no reply will be
made. The latter alternative, however,
seems to be unlikely. The general opin-
ion is that without a display of force,
the porte certainly will not pay the
claims, because it wishes to show the
Moslem world that it only yields to
force. >~1
It is not considered here that simple
rupture of diplomatic relations will
render the porte easier to deal with; but
a rupture of formal relations is not
thought necessary, as the sending of a
warship to q Mediterranean port would
suffice to obtain settlement of the mat
ter in less than "a hours.
The same proposition for settlement
of the indemnify question by an order
for a warship in the price of which the
Indemnity should be included was for
merly made to France and Italy, but M.
Constans and Signor Panza rejected the
proposal. . -.
The newspaper criticisms and COM
ments upon the attitude Of Turkey in
this affair are causing great irritation at
