tween here and Sharon.
Sharon, Pa, April 25.-The Shenan-
doah river reached it's highest stage at
midnight and is now receding. All dam
ger from flood at this point has passed.
Since midnight the Ohio river here has
risen seven -tenths of foot. The stage
still rising as far up as Cattletsburg
and as the Kanawha at Charleston is
again rising, the inference is reasona BILE
that the rise here cannot be checked
before tomorrow, by which time 1t may
reach stage of sixty feet. The wealth
er here is clear. Contrary - expecta-
tions the river is still rising slowly at
Ironton.

Cincinnati, O., April 25.--The flood sit
uation in this part Of the Ohio valley
is much worse to-day. 1t was expected
1t would reach it's limits here to-day and
up the valley. and it would not exceed
So feet at Cincinnati or eight feet above
the danger line. 1t passed the stage of
SIS here last night and the conditions for
almost 200 miles uD the river are equally
bad.
The rise here yesterday afternoon was
at the average rate of half an inch per
hour. but during the night the average
rate of rising increased. owing to the ris-
ing tributaries below the Kanawha, es-
pecially the Big Sandy, which had previ-
ously been falling. While the limit of
the present flood may be reached to-day
1t is feared the new conditions may keep
the river about stationary until there
might be second flood.
The worst conditions are reported at
Huntington, Cattletsburg, Ironton and
Portsmouth and the smaller places in
that district have reached the point of
great distress.
Youngstown, o., April 25.-The Ma
honing river this morning broke all rec

MISAPPREHENSI0N OF MOTIVES
Feel That They Have Been Sighted
by American Friends-Conferenc
at Washington May Remove Causes
of Friction-What United States
Might Do to Help the islanders.
(By Associated Press.)


ithaca, N. Y, April 25-President J.
G. Schurman spoke last night before the
students of Cornell university in libr try
hall on the Cuban situation. His rec ,nt
return from the island where he spent
two weeks, enabled him to make he
subject one of particular interest. After
reviewing the general condition Of the
people, he touched directly upon t.,e
question of Cuban opposition to the Platt
amendment.
Army Radicals in Convention.
He said in part:
1T is the revolutionary army and it's
supporters who are represented in the
constitutional convention. That body Is
more radical than the Cuban people as
a whole. If it hestates to adopt the
Plat amendment, the people who own
property on the island would not. They
fee! that the Platt amendment is inNs
pensable to the peace and protection or
the island and the prosperitS of it's
people. Still, I think great considera-
tion should be shown for the men who
won Cuban independence, and after all,
the constitutional convention is the o,.i,
organized boly authC rized to express
Cuban sentiment and opinion. I lad
the honor week before last Of conferring e
with two large delegations from the con-
vention, in which were included all of
the me embers Of the committee now at
Washington. Their complaint was tn. .
fold:
Three Bold Complaints.
First. they objected to the manner n
which the flatt amendment was fore Il
upon them; secondly, they criticized l,
as a limitation of the sovereignty rights
Of Cuba; thirdly, they deprecated re
omission of a clause providing for freer
commercial relations between Cuba and
the United States.
''The first objection, which is matter
of form rather than of substance, is now
irremediable, and we need not discuss
it's merits. l believe the second objec-
ton rests on misrepresentation, which
President Mckinley will in ell probabii-
ity be able to remove in conference
with the committee for the Platt amend
ment. while continuing the historical
policy Of the United States towards
Cuba, may be fairly described as guar
antee of the independence of Cuba and
the formulation of the means to protect
vt both against invasion and domestic
disorder. The third objection will, IN
