of a century, of the city of New Orleans being seriously disconnected or in dan ger from high water in the Mississippi River.
 'The nature of many of these dispatch- es is such as to lead the citizens of New Orleans to believe that they are the re- suit of deliberate malice, and so absurd are they that no notice would be taken of them were 1t not for the widespread anixety among the friends and relatives which they have caused.
 "The exchanges and other commercial bodies met together at the rooms of the New Orleans Progressive Union yester- day and decided to demand that the fore- going dispatches should be published in every newspaper that has published the original alarming and utterly false state ments to which our attention has been called.

A DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER
Charges of Immortality Had
 Been Brought Against Him
Commander of the British Forces In Ceylon and a Major General in
 the Army of His Majesty
 Edward VII. s..ss

Paris March 2S.-Major General Hector Macdonald, commanding the British forces in Ceylon, and one of the fore most officers in the British army. against whom charges based on immoral acts were filed some time ago, comitted sui- eide today at the Hotel Reginald. He shot himself In the right temple shortly after noon and expired a few minutes later. The General was alone in his small chamber on :he main floor of the hotel at the time of the tragedy.
 One of the female attendants heard the pistol shot and, opening the door, saw the Generals figure stretched out on the floor with blood flowing from a bullet wound in the head. She ran screaming to the balcony overlooking the lobby of the hotel, where many guests, including a number of ladies. were assembled. The proprietor of the hotel was the first to reach the expiring man. Medical help was immediately summonsd.l but death ensued quickly. The Commits sary of Police was called, and. accom- panied by doctor. proceeded to a pre- liminary investigation. No money or pa- perE of any kind we're found lying in Sir Electors baggage.
 Two Notes Found.
 Two notes written in English were found lying on a table in his room and these were taken possession of by the authorities. It Is said that the notes have no bearing on the suicide. In the Generals coat. lying on the bed. were found some photos
 The British Embassy and Consulate were advised later. and Consul Gensrat Inglis took charge of the body which wac placed on the bed The door was thea locked, the Consul General taking the key. The French officers took possess sion of the revolver.
 Sir Hector Macdonald arrived in Paris last Friday evening from London on his way hack to Ceyion, where 1t was un- derstood an immediate courtmartial would he held to clear up charges made against him. On reaching the hotel at night. ne was told that only a small room was available. He replied that it was sum cient He was unaccompanied. He said he intended to stay only day or two in Paris.
 Little was seen of him after his ar rivalHe was, however. in the loooy to- day about noon and 1t Is believed that a newspaper printed in English, contain ing a resume of the charges brought against him and embellished with the Generals portrait in full uniform came under his attention. He left the lobby, going to his room and the pistol shot followed soon after. No arrangements have been made as to the dispositicn of the body.
 Those about the hotel who had con- versed with Sir Hector Macdonald re- centIy say he showed no signs of ex- citement or mental worry.

ANXIETY PRACTICALLY OVER
The River Falling at a Fair Rate
 at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, March @.-The river tonight is falling at fair rate, the e o'clock this morning. The situation Is rapidly assuming normal proportions and ali anxiety is practically over. Some un- easiness is still felt for the St. Francis levees in Arkansas to the north or thls citv. but all news from that section IS or a reassuring character.
 No trains have yet succeeded In get 1Ing over the tracks a few miles west of Bridge Junction. It is now thought possible that Memphis may remain cut off from the West for another day.

TO TREAT TUBERCULOSIS.
Dr. Ledere Says New York Should
 Take Up the Matter.

New York. March 25.-Dr. Ledere, of the Board of Health. reported to Mayor Low that tuberculosis remains the greatest single cause of deaths in this city and one which in my opinion demands more attention from the municipal au- thorities in the interest of public health. The number of persons suffering from tuberculosis is variously estimated at from 5000 to 4O,OO0. and many of these are undoubtedly affecting their associ- ates and thus adding to the extent of the disease. I believe that the time has come when the city of New York should extend its facilities for the treatment of tuberculosis"
 He recommends the erection of a san itarium on the tent plan.
 The deaths from pulmonary tubercu- losis in New York last year numbered 75n.
