ditjOn of the Pope.


Rome, June 2S.-The Spanish embas-
sy to the Vatican has received tele-
grams from Madrid, anxiously inquir-
ing about the health of the Pope, say
ing that from reliable source 1t was
learned that His Holiness was seriously
ill.
The rumor soon spread here, produce
ing the usual sensation. On going TO
the Vatican, however, 1t was found
that it was only another false alarm.
The Pope is in his usual health, and re-
ceived to-day in private audience the
Bishop Ibague, Columbia. The Pontiff
conversed with him on the conditions
prevailing in the South American Re-
public, and the necessity of raising the
standard of the clergy so that they
might contribute to the intellectual and
moral progress of the people.
Tonight His Holiness retired sooner
than usual, but merely because he
wishes to rise earlier in the morning.

rapidity that the stricken inhabitants
had no time to get out Of it's path
AS soon as possible after the terrible
flood subsidized, the work of relief was
commenced by the citizens Of the
town. Dozens of bodies We're found
lodged along the banks of the stream
and in several places they were piled
over one another. Up to 2 o'clock
this morning 300 bodies had been re-
covered, almost within the city linn

Morse company of Portland, who was
at Heppner when the awful disaster
happened, gives graphic account. He
said that the rushing torrent came at

of the inhabitants were at their even

horrible, sickening scene, with death
and destruction being spread on
every side. From the time it came un.
