Cincinnati, april 21.-There has
been more alarm throughout the Ohio
valley to-day on account of floods
1884, when the Ohio river reached it's
highest stage of II feet and 9 inches
at this city. Most of the inhabitants
of h valley spent the night in anti
cipation of the worst flood ever known
in b valley as they will not know
until tomorrow that the water has
been falling at Pittsburgh. Until this
news reached the river men here to-
night it was feared hat the record of
1884 might be broken, but now it is
generally believed that the river will
not exceed the floods of February,
1897, and of March, 1898, when it
reached 81 feet at Cincinnati.
The present flood is the worst that
has ever been known so late in the
spring. The first week in April, 1886,
the river reached 55 feet and 9 inches
in this city, and that was the highest
water ever known so late in the
spring. There has been no food in the
Ohio valley since March, 1898. The
food will do much more damage now
than it would have done one or two
months ago.
While the water has began to fall
at Pittsburgh both rain and snow
have been falling heavily last night
and to-day and tonight all along the
Ohio valley. The danger line has al
ready been reached at points above
Cincinnati, and it will be reached here
tomorrow morning.
The merchants and manufacturers
in the lower part of the city have
been working all day and night pre-
pairing for the worst. Early this even
ing the weather bureau here an
nounced heavy snow and rains along
the Ohio valley. The uniform rise
during the. day was four-tenths of a
foot per hour, but the average is
higher tonight.
The weather bureau announced that
the danger line has been reached at
all upper substations tonight, and
that it will be reached in Cincinnati
tomorrow noon. The stage was A
feet and seven-tenths at six o'clock
here tonight, and the danger line is
so feet.
At Point Pleasant the stage is eight
feet above the danger line tonight,
with the river rising rapidly and a
heavy rain. The mayor of Ports
mouth, o., telegraphed hat the dan
ger line had beer reached there and
that a heavy snow was falling to-
night.
Similar reports have been received
from all we southern Ohio, and as
far north as Springfield.
Trains are late on all railroads and
some trains that were due last night
the east rave not yet arrived.
1t is generally conceded that the |
fruit crop throughout the Ohio valley
is gone n the damage to crops is
very great.

GREAT LOSSES AT PITTSBURGH.
The Murkey Waters Receding After
Doing Millions of

Doing Millions of Damage.
Pittsburgh, Pa, April 21.-Pitts-
hurgh and Allegheny are slowly
emerging from the murkey food.
At s p. IN. the rivers were re-
ceding nearly a foot an hour. The
highest point reached at Davis Island
dam was 25.s feet at 3 a. m, which
means IS feet at the junction of the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.
The water remained stationary until
about 3 p. M, when it began to fall.
Conservative estimates of the total
damage in this district are between
50, 200, 900 and Sc ZOO, 900. Fifty thousand
workers are suffering from enforced
idleness.
While. there have been greater
floods at this point, there never was
n that caused so mcuh financial loss
and discomfort. This was due to the
denser population caused by the re-
growth of the two cities and to
the fact that all the manufacturing
plants on the banks of the river were
operating, most of them working
night and day until the rising water
put out the fires and drove the work.
to higher ground.
The loss to railroads entering Pitts
from foods, landslides,
wrecked bridges, heavy SHOWS and in
reference with traffic is roughly esti-
at 81, 600, 900.

there were two fires from crossed tel
ephone wires carrying heavy currents
into the buildings. Suburban, stage,
mail and trolley lines were aba1l-
doned. There was four feet of water
on the Lake Shore, Vandalia and
Grand Trunk railroads. A heavy snow
pillow went off the track and tore up
200 feet of track. At Danville and
Harbor Creek trains jumped the track
and at Westfield, n. Y, several cars
OF a freight left the rails.

WILL HAVE A GOOD EFFECT.
Washington Pleased With the Stan,
Taken by AguinaldO.


Washington, April 2O.-It is believed
by the administration that the mani.
testo of Aguinaldo will have a decid-
eddy good effect both in the Philip
pines and in this country. 1t will taxi
some time for it's dissemination
among the Filipinos, but it is expect
ed to be of considerable service and
to make more rapid the improvement
in the situation which set in some
time ago and has become quite
marked of late.
Especial qualification is felt at the
unreserved tone of the document, an6
the full acceptance it indicates O.
American rule. This, it is felt, will
bring 10 the support of the govern
ment many Filipinos who, wishing for
peace, have hesitated to assist the
Taft commission. In this country il
is expected to reduce the criticism OF
the administration, and to cause less
discussion of the general policy of the
war in tie islands and more consider.
alton of the important matter of the
best administration to be evolved for
their government. 1t is to this work
that the Taft commission is now
bending ali its energies.
Aguinaldo, now that he has accept.
ed American sovereignty, probably
will be given more liberty than he has
enjoyed hitherto. ills services will be
used as far as possible in the pacifca
ton of the islands. The extent, how
ever, to which he will be permitted
his freedom is for Gen.. Macarthur tc
determine, with the assistance of the
Taft commission, for the aim of the
home government Eere will be to rest
largely upon the views held by Its
representatives in the island.

Considerable property was de-

owing to the flooding of cellars.
Large quantities of perishable prop

this street, and much of it was de-
stroyed by the water, which, in many
places, was waist deep.

MANIFESTO.
The Filipino Chieftain Issues His
Promised Address to the
Islanders.
He ACCEPTS AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY.
He Says There Has Been Enough of Blood
shed, Enough of Tears, Enough OF
Eesol ttion, and He Ca Not Longer
Refuse to Heed the Voice of the PeO-
pie DESTROYS of Peace.

Manila, April 2O.-The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public last evening:
Il believe / am not in error in pre-
Stunning that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led me
is not a surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress of the
| war. The lessons taught with a full
meaning and which have recently
come to my knowledge, suggest with
irresistible force hat a complete ter.
mination of hostilities and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but alb
solutelv essential to the welfare OF
the Philippine islands.
The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage. The time has ONE however.
in which they find their advance along
this path to be impeded by an ire
sistible force, which, while it re-
minds and opens to them another
course. presenting them the cause OF
peace. This cause has been ,joyfully
embraced by the majority of my fel-
low countrymen, who have already
united around the glorious sovereign
banner of the United States. In this
banner they repose their trust ano
belief that under its protection the
Filipino people will attain all those
promised liberties which they are be-
ginning to enjoy. The country has de-
clared Enthusiastically in favor of peace.
So be it. There has been enough
blood, enough tears and enough desc
lation. This wish can not be ignored
by the men still in arms if they are
animated by a desire to serve ouI
noble people, which has thus clearly
manifested it's will. So do | respect
this will, now that it is known to me
After mature deliberation, / reso-
lutely proclaim to the world hat ]
can not refuse to heed the voice of q
people longing for peace, nor the la.
mentations of thousands of families
yearning to see their dear mes en-.
joying the liberty and the promised
generosity of the great American ma.
ton.
by acknowledging and accepting
the sovereignty of the United State:

walton whatsoever, l believe that / am
serving thee, my beloved country
May happiness be thine
To signalize this important step ir

Macarthur orders the release, or

States, of 1000 insurgent prisoners.
