STILL HARD AT WORK.
River Has Not Ceased 10 Rise in
Lower Renches.

River Has Not Ceased 10 Rise in
Lower Renches.
Natchez, Miss, March 22.-While the
weather to-day has been most favor
able for effective levee work, it was
found necessary to send more men to
the Sycamore levee in Concordia par
ish, Louisiana.
For the past eleven days there has
been a force of 125 men engaged in re-
pairing and bringing this levee to
grade It was expected that the grade
would be reached yesterday, but when
daylight broke to-day the work was so
far behind that the New Orleans and
Northwestern Railroad sent sixty men
to the front. There has not been
enough sunshine to dry out the earth
with which the men have to work.
The fears of the people have been
increased by the continued rise in the
river, and while the leVee men and en-
gineers contend that Sycamore will
hold, old-timers who have experienced
the high waters, are skeptic. These
men say that a lot of good weather
and hard work will be necessary to
hold out against the rise and heavy
pressure that is yet to come.
Black river at Jonesville, La, is one
foot above the danger line, and Is ris-
ing at the rate of two inches a day.
Capt II. S. Douglas of the United
States Engineer Corps has returned to
Vicksburg, as there Is work of more
importance in that territory.
The local gauge tonight reads 1890,
a rise of 2 in the past twenty-four
hours, and rising.

WAS REALLY ONLY
FAMILY FRIENDSHIP.
What O'Brien Says About the Ex-
Crown Princess.

New York. March 22.-Dr. Lewis A.
O'Brien, Mrs. O'Brien, his wife, and
their young son were passengers on
the steamer Pretoria which locked
to-day.
DR.. OBrien is the American dem
fist, whose name has been connected
by European correspondents with that
of Princess Louise of Saxony. To-day
he emphatically denied that he had
been officially expelled from Saxony.
He said he had heard such a report
when he got to Plymouth, and averred
that the truth of the matter was that
learning from his partner that the Sax
ony officials had been talking of some
such action he would not want to
give them a chance"
The dentist said Princess Louise was
simply a patient of his and a friend
of his family. When her visits to his
family became the subject of gossip
in Dresden, he had the visits stopped.
He never taught her to ride bike,
nor did the two bicycle together.
Mrs. O'Brien corroborated all the
dentist said.

PEACE NOW REIGNS
OVER URUGUAY.
Rebels and the Government Have
Buried the Hatchet.
Montevideo, March 22.-Peace was
signed to-day between the Uruguayan
government and the rebels.

The Uruguayan rebellion broke cut
on March Is in the department OF
Rivera, Flores and MADAME. Previous
dispatches stated that the rebellion was
brought about ebx the White party
which We're dissatisfied with the new
President (Ordonez), who succeeded
President Cuestas, and with the re-
cent appointments of the departmental
projects. The government while tax
ing strong military measures to sup
press the revolution, also made certain
proposals, with a view to arriving at
a peaceful settlement.
Four government delegates were sent
to the disaffected provinces to treat
for peace, and the President of Uru-
quay authorized them to make concil-
iatory propositions. They were in
structed to offer Senior Saravia, the in
stigator of the revolution, that as the
basis of an arrangement, the govern
under the direction of the Nationalist
or White party, of new projects in six
departments.
The uprising, according to the dis
patches, was not generally popular al
though the rebels mustered 5000 men
who had destroyed the railway, cut
the telegraph wires and were threat
ening to attack Montevideo. From to-
days announcement that peace had
been signed, it would appear that the
rebels have accepted the conciHatory
proposals made by the government.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Is FOR THE NEGROES
Says History Offers no Parallel to
Their Progress.

Says History Offers no Parallel to
Their Progress.
Washington, March ga delegation
of members of the negro press of the
country and of the negro Pen and Pen
Gil Club called on Archbishop Ireland
to-day and expressed to him their
gratitude and appreciation of his stand
on behalf of the negro. Archbishop
Ireland, in responding, said that to him
the Stars and Stripes had no meaning
whatsoever unless they mean the
brotherhood of man.
The idea of distinction being made
in civil and political matters because
of race, or language or color. he de-
clared, is un-American. He urged his
callers to have patience and said that
with it the march of civilization and
of Christianity would result in full rec
ognition of their civil and political
rights.
He expressed the opinion that there
was not in the history of the world
an example of similar progress made
by any people, of any color and OF any
race, equal to that made by the col
ored people in the forty years since
President Lincoln declared them free
and independent. He predicted that
what had been accomplished in the
last forty years would be quadrupled
in the next forty years.

VESSELS WERE PENNED IN
BY LARGE ICEBERGS.

Baltimore, Md, March 22.-The Dom
aldson line steamer Hestia. which ar
rived in port to-day from Glasgow, had
a hard battle with icebergs off the
Newfoundland banks on March Is.
Capt. Henderson reports that on the
night of the 14th, the vessel ran into
foe of ice, and at daybreak it was dis
covered she was completely surround
ed by icebergs, some of them being 100
feet high. After trying for five hours
to make a breach in the wall OF ice.
the Hestia finally succeeded in getting
out.
Two other vessels were in the same
predicament as the Hestia-the oil tank
steamer OH City and a four-masted
steamship, apparently big liner. The
Oil City followed the Hestia out of the
breach. The unknown vessel broke
through the ice previous to the escape
of the other two vessels.

London, March 22.-The news of
President Castros resignation came as
a complete surprise to people here, but
London is deserted to-day by diplomats
and the event is little discussed. IN
I'll last Saturday afternoon President
Castro's continued tenure of office was
taken as matter of course. In fact
the reported hitch in the negotiations
with the Powers were privately attrio-
uted here to President Castro's en-
deavor to make another bid for popular
favor.
Some months ago the possible depo-
sition of the Venezuelan president was
discussed at the Foreign Office as
serious objection to making terms with
Venezuela with nothing but President
Castro's signature as a guarantee, but
since then the officials here We're In
clined to believe that his position was
