CANNOT CLOSE THE
 HYMELIA CREVASSE
All Hope of Success is Practi-
 caIIy Abandoned
HANDS BEING DRAWN AWAY
Planters Will Now Devote Their Ef- forts to Building Protecting LeVees About Their Places--High
 Water for Three Weeks.

New orleans, April 9.-Hope of closing the Hymelia crevasse was practically abandoned today by Senator Brady and those who have been associated with him.
 All day terrific current swept around the broken ends of the cribbing and through the great 7oO-foot gap in the ievee, undermining the light piling which it had taken thirteen days and nights to build. Early in the forenoon it became avident that any effort to build fresh cribbing to join the ends would be futile and every energy was directed to protect Ing what was left Considerable success attended these efforts and the saeking of other portions of the cribbing continued, but it was generally understood that complete surrender would be made to the river tomorrow if the experiment of driv- ing seawall piling across the break in the ctibbing fails. A delegation from the creyasse came to the city early today and made purchases of this pillng, which will be sent forward tomorrow. It is con- sidered, however, that not a chance in a thousand to close the crevasse remains. The levee board has practically reached the end of it's resources and planters are pulling away their hands in order to build protection leyees about their places. It will probably be several weeks before the crevasse ceases to run.
 The weather bureau expresses the be- lief that high water will continue in the lower Mississippi for three weeks or long CT, though there will be but slight changes In the next few days. The breaks above the mouth of the Red river have caused a delay in the movement of the Mississippi flood and it appears that the Red river flood waters will pass out in advance. Hence the bureau thinks the stages in the lower Mississippi will not be as high as they would have been had no breaks occurred
 The river here today was 201 feet. In view of the situation at Hymelia 1t is doubtful if 1t will go higher than the maximum of 2O3 already recorded this season.

Major Howze in Washington.

Washington, April 9.--Maj. Robert l.. Howze, commanding the Porto Rican regiment, arrived in Washington today and immediately demanded a court of inquiry. He was mentioned In the report of General Miles and charged with great cruelties on the Filipinos while in com mand of a post in the extreme north of Luzon. It was asserted that he caused several Filipinos to be beaten to death. One case was cited as especially revolt ing. It Is alleged that Major Swigert re- ported to the war department that in the absence of Major Howze he caused the body of this particular Filipino to be dis- inferred and examined. The medical of- ficers, he reported. found no marks of violence whatever upon the corpse, but did find that the man died from an ag- gravated case of acute Brights disease. Several other bodies were exhumed but bore no marks of violence

LANHAM vEToEs THE BILL.
Is Opposed to the Consolidation Of
 Roads in Texas.

Austin, Tex, April Ex-Governor Lanham today vetoed the bill providing for the consolidation of the Galveston, Harris burg and San Antonio; the New York, Texas and Mexican; the Gulf Western Texas and Pacific; the Gonzales branch and the Galveston, Houston and Tender son railroads.
 The principal reason assigned by the executive of his adverse action is the allegation that the Southern Pacific owns the San Antonio and Aransas Pass rail- road, as we'll as the Galveston, Harris burg and San Antonio and that the Aransas Pass is a parallel and competing line with the New York, Texas and Mexi- can and the Gulf, Western Texas and Pacific.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being CIV
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter to prevent tnan to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one OF the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza grip ,
and IL has been observed that this
remedy co~unteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem.
edy has been used during the greatest
prevalence Of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until II is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Couch Remedy as soon as the cold
Is contracted. 1t always cures For
