dent. He arrested Wilson and had
him to prefer the charge against Boyle.

suCn raise rumors as were circulated
below Catlettsburg about a water
spout.
At o'clock last night the stage of
the Ohio river was 55.1 feet and rising
at the rate of two-tenths of a foot per
hour. This is more than five feet above
the danger line, and within three feet
of the limit expected during this flood.
The water in the tenement houses
along the river front is now over ten
feet deep from the first floors. These
tenements are so densely packed that
there is no room in the upper stories
for extra dodgers. The people were re-
moved from the first floors Monday and
from the second floors yesterday. The
coal and lumber yards along the river,
as well as the warehouses and factor
les in the lower part of the city, are
submerged, but will suffer compare
lively little loss. Many barges have
been sunk and there has been some
damage to other craft.
With the Ohio river on the south
the Little Miami east of the city and
the raging Mill creek west, Cincinnati
is bounded by water on three side,
and by hills on the north. From thes,

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
The Ohio River Flood Less Serious
Than in Former Years.
TOLLIFIoAT1ON MEETINGS HELD.

Towns That Have Been Badly Inun-
dated, With Hundreds of Families
Driven From Homes, Feel JubiIant
That the Situation Is No Worse.
Cincinnati, April 24.-While the Ohio
river is reported as falling from Pitts
burg to the mouth of the Big Kanawha,
almost 300 miles, there is still much
distress from that point to Cincinnati,
about 200 miles. The weather bureau
still predicts that the limit will be
reached here today, and that there will
be still less trouble below this city.
While alarming inquiries come from
Ironton, Portsmouth, Huntington, Cat
lettsburg and intermediate points, the
weather bureau says the outlook is
really encouraging and that the begin
ming Of the end will reach Cincinnati
this afternoon, when the stage will not
exceed So feet. The Big Sandy and
other lower tributaries are falling, as
well as the headwaters. The heavy
snow in the mountains at the head
waters of the Kentucky river, followed
by rains, have not checked the rapid
flow in the lower Ohio, as was feared.
The most encouraging news yester-
day came from Point Pleasant, where
the river becan stationary, and later
reports show that it is falling as far
down as Marietta and Parkersburg. In
some of the smaller places bells were
rung and cannons fired and jollification
meetings were held when the station
airy stage was reached. Preparations
are being made for demonstrations OF
rejoicing throughout the PomerOy
bend. Pomeroy, Middleport, Point
Pleasant and other places in that dis
trict have been badly inundated, with
hundreds of families driven from theiI
homes. The depots at these places
were under water and the telegraph of.
fees moved to higher ground as early
as last Sunday.
There is great alarm at Catlettsburg
/ Ashland, IrontOn, Huntington, Ports
mouth and other lower points, wher,
the crest of the flood is now passing
and where false reports have been cir
culated about another rise. One o
these reports was that there had beef
a cloudburst up the Big Sandy, seri
ously affecting Catlettsburg, Ashlanr
and other places. It turned out tina
the flood had caused the natural ga
pipe line supplying these places t
burst, and they were left without ligh
and fuel. The large rolling mills an
factories at these places were compel
ed to shut down. From that point t
Cincinnati the rise fiuctuates from one
tenth Of an inch in some hours to a.
most three-tenths in other hours, an
when it increased last night there wa
renewed alarm at Ironton and Ports
mouth and points opposite them.

reports that there is NO change in tn
situation and that the flood continue
to pass rapidly out of the Ohio vale

Washington, April 24.-Gen. L
ard Wood, governor general Of c
with Mrs. Wood and his priv"
rotary, arrived here this mo
ing reached New York las
Havana on the Ward liner Moro Gas
tie. Gen. Wood, who expects to re
turn to Havana on Thursday by way
Of Jacksonville, Fla, has made the
hurried trip to this country for the pur-
pose of introducing to President Nc
Kinley before the latter leaves Wash
ington for the Pacific coast the five
members Of the special commission on
foreign relations appointed by the Gu
ban constitutional convention.
Gen. Wood does not hesitate to talk
about affairs in Cuba.
''The only object Of my hurried visit
here" he said, ''is to introduce the five
members Of the special commission on
foreign relations appointed by the Gu
ban constitutional convention to Presi-
dent Mckinley. The members of the
commission represent all the different
groups of Cubans composing the con-
stitutional convention. They have
come to the United States for the pur-
pose Of comforting with President Nc
Kinley on the matters which the con-
vention does not thoroughly under
stand, and when they -,eturn and make
their report 1 am convinced that there
will be a thorough understanding or
all sides of the controversy.
1.-THE constitutional convention hal
never voted on or rejected the Plat
amendment. This I can state posi-
lively, Notwithstanding the reports t
the contrary which have been sent Il
the United States from Havana. Thing
have been cabled here which had no
the slightest foundation in fact, whicl
described the strained relations be
tween the representatives of the Uni
ted States and those of the Cuban PEG
pie. Everything has been harmoniou
: since I went to Cuba, and the conven
) ton now in session is a thorough
representative one. Before the Plat
= amendment was passed by congress tn
= Cubans knew the desires of this gov
e eminent on the issues which tn
{ amendment contained, because the
d were submitted to them through til
: executive. Intervention and the e
d tablishment of naval stations are II
two things which they do not proper
comprehend, and I think that wht
}. they are fully explained in Washing
ton the only indication Of a different
Of opinion will have been removed.
There are really but two gre
questions yet to be settled. One is Il
= reduction of the duty on sugar and Il
{, other is the passage of the constitutio
One is economical and the other is p
litical, yet in a measure they are alzi
= After the constitution has been prope
I ly framed and adopted the econom
question will disappear, as there mu
2 be a great reduction in the duty
sugar. Then Cuba will be prospero
and its relations with the Unit
States settled on a solid basis. TIL
