ACTION WILL BE PROMPT.

Washington. D. C., Aug. 21.-Prompt and vigorous action is being taken by the United States government to se- cure the punishment of those persons implicated in the assassination of United States Vice Consul Wm. C. Magelssen, at Beirut, Syria on Sunday last. Minister Leishman, at Constanti- nople who reported the fact to the state department has been instructed by the department to demand q thorough investigation of the affair and the punishment of those involved in the crime and the European squad ron consisting of three warships has been ordered to report immediately at Beirut to enforce the demands of the United States.
 The presidents determination to lose no time in getting the squadron to Beirut was due in part to information received by Acting Secretary LoOmis of the state department, tonight from the president of the American Board of Missions at Boston, indicating that an attempt had been made to burn the Euphrates college building at Harpoot.

AN EXCITING WAR GAME
The Reckless Destruction of Fifteen
 Warships.

Portland, Me. Aug. 21-The events and developments in the war game to- day were considered the most import ant since the hostile fleet first appeared eff Portland. The navy made grand coup in the capture of Long Island in the forenoon and the army made q. spectacular play in the destruction or fifteen opposing ships that attacked the coast defenses in the afternbon.
 The navy. however, seems to have had q little the better of 1t, for Long Island has been declared out of the game until tomorrow night at o'clock The big searchlights will not be work ing which will be of almost inestim- able value to the navy On tine oth r hand. after sunset. the destroyed War ships went back into commission again.

New York, Aug. 27-With the Re lance less than a third of a mile from the finish and the Shamrock III. hull down on the horizon. fully. two miles astern Of the gallant defender, the fourth race Of the present series for the America's cup today was declared off because of the expiration of the time limit of five and one-half hours as happened on Thursday last.

 The real race of the day was not against the Shamrock but was in the exciting struggle of the Reliance in the last half hour to reach the finish line

MEAGER INFORMATION.

Washington, D. C., Aug 21.-No addl- tional information was obtained at the state department during the day re- garding the assassination of Vice Con- sul Magelssen at Beirut. Syria. AS vet no request has been made of the navy department that the European squadron be sent to Beirut and none will be until it appears that there IS q disposition on the part of the Turkish government not to comply with the de- mands of the state department for the immediate apprehension and punish ment of the murderer and of the local authorities if they were negligent.
 In the absence of particulars TO mo- tive can bs ascribed for the crime, and the state department officials have no means of suggesting theory as to why the consul should have been killed. There have been no complaints about him or his work and the measre cablegram conveys not the slightest suggestion of a cause for the crime.
 Although a copy of he dispatch from Minister Leishman was sent to the navy department, TO request was made 10 send the European squadron to the eastern Mediterrrean, but the navy de- Dartment, anticipating that such an emergency might occur, cabled Admir- al Cotton to have the squadron in readiness for smiling i'.it w"s deemed necessary. The president was informed immediately of the assassination. also of the steps that had been taken by the state department to secure redress. Further details of the crime and the action of the Turkish oVernment are awaited with interest by all govern ment officials.

THE LATEST FLOOD
With Which Kansas CityS
 Are Threatened
The Situation Is Regarded as Exceed insly Grave-POssibly the Worst of This Wet Year.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 27.-Unppre-
 cedented heavy rains north and west
 of Kansas City have caused the Kan
 sas and Missouri rivers to rise sudden ly to unusual heights, and the result
 may prove grave. bulletin issued ] today by the local weather bureau an
 nounced that the Kansas, or Raw river would rise from five to seven feet at Kansas City in the next forty-eight hours and rise of equal ma gnitude il
 is said, is coming this way down the Missouri. The fact that the Missouri will rise also is causing anxiety here as it is believed it will retard the flow of the Kansas river at the mouth of 1 the later stream, and endanger the temporary bridges as well as the rail-
 way yards and heavy business in the West Bottoms.
 Two temporary pile bridges here Were carried out by last weeks rise and others were damaged, and it is feared
 that the expected rise may carry out | more oi them. The current is swift
 and it carries much driftwood. If the | bridges go out it would cripple the traffic of the big packing house and | other establishments across the Kansas line from here and cut off communiea- tion between the two Kansas Citys. The Kansas river here today rose three feet in ten hours and is still rising rapidly. At Lawrence this stream rose four feet during the night. | and al Topeka it is also up about four feet. At Manhattan, where the Big Blue empties into the Kansas the latter stream has risen seven feet in the past twenty-four hours. At that point the Blue has broken from it's banks and is cutting across the country, taking a short course to the Kansas river. Many
 farms are deep under water. At Stock dale, eight miles north of Manhattan, the Blue is slightly higher than during the great June flood. Farmers con- tinue to move their stock and house. hold effects to higher places. Several small washouts are reported on the Union Pacific east of Manhattan.
 A seven-foot rise in the river at Kansas City may be the climax of the present high water, but the conditions favor more rain in this section
