G+-cnville. Miss, March 2s.-A vol
ume of water sixteen feet deep and
over 600 feet in length is pouring stead
lily through crevasse in the levee fve
miles south of here, and Is flooding
thousands of acres of the finest farm
ing land in the celebrated Yazoo deita.
The break in the levee occurred at ii
o'clock Yesterday morning, and the
roar of the rushing waters can easily De
heard in Greenville.
Only 200 feet of the embankmeht
gave way at first. and mighty enort
was made by hundreds of laborers TO
check the food by cribbing and sack
ing, but 1t was soon. apparent that
it was beyond human power to success
fully combat the resistless fury oil the
current. An hour later 1t was seen
that the ends of the levee on either
side of the crevasse were melting iast'
the force of the current cutting the
embankment away as though it was
built of sand.

MEN ARRESTED IN DENVER ARE
ACCUSED OF PUEBLO MURDERS

Denver, March 2S.-Two men sus-
pected of the double murder in Pueblo
two weeks ago Sunday are confined in
the city jail. They are ex-convict5 and
were only recently released from the
reformatory. The arrest was made by
City Detective John Leyden and Dep
uty Sheriff Granger of Pueblo and
Sheriff Sipple of Boulder at the iv-
ingstone mine near Boulder yesterday
forenoon. The men made no resist
ance. Both have bad records. With
companion. they were arrested year
ago on the roof of a gambling house
at Nineteenth and Larimer streets,
which they were preparing to rob.
The men are Ross H. Brewer and
Raleigh Davis and the police say they
can connect them with the Pueblo
crime. Davis and Brewer were sent to
the reformatory from Boulder on the
charge of burglary. They remained in
the prison a short time and were pa
rolled. Davis returned to Boulder and
has since made that place his home.
A few months ago he was Joined by
Brewer. The men made occasional
trips out of Boulder. March 18th they
went to work in the Livingstone mine.
According to Deputy Sheriff Granger
Davis ana Brewer were III fueplo oh
the night of March 18th. They were
not there the next day, but were traced
to Denver Then the sheriff of Pueblo
came here and with the city detectives
tried to locate the men. The names of
the suspects were learned and their
photographs were found at the Denver
police station. These pictures were
sent to the witnesses of the murders in
Dual onI in thpN were
identified as the murderers.
The descriptions were sent to all the
sheriffs in the state and when one
reached Sheriff Sipple he notified the
authorities of Pueblo and Deputy Gran
ger started for Boulder, Detective Ley
den accompanying. Sheriff Sipple took
the deputy and the detective to the Liv-
inpstone mine and arrested the men.

Judge Seeds stated that he thought
both sides believed in having fair
trial. and he intended to aid them. 1t
was the duty of the press to assist in
such a worthy endeayor. Neither
press nor individuals should inject
anything that would interfere with
justice and the proper hearing of the
suit. He hoped the press and attor-
neys and all concerned would assist in
its responsibilities and should there be
any undue interference, the court
would take the severest steps to pro-
tect the court and litigants.

THE GOVERNORS COMMISSION
PREDICTS END OF THE STRIKE

would take the verbal agreement of the
other made in the presence of the
board. A written agreement has not
been contemplated, for this and other
reasons
I'VE believe that an amicable ar
rangement may be made with the par
ties within the next forty-eight hours.
We base this belief. primarily. upon the
fact that the difference seems one of
form as to the agreement rather than
upon the result which we think will be
certain to follow If either of the prop
ositions given below shall be adopted.
The principal contention at this time is
as to limit of time within which men
who have been discharged or are upon
a strike shall be taken back. 1t ap-
pears to us that the difference is one of
form merely. for the reason that we
think that as soon as the boycott is
taken off the increased shipment of
ores to the Colorado City mills from
the cripple Creek district will necessi-
tate the employment of all the men
who have had experience in mill work.
1.-The offer of the business mems COM
mittee of Victor to give employment in
the Cripple Creek district to all form
er employees at the Standard mill who
are out of work at a wage of 80 per
day ought to simplify the matter of
employment very much. Aside from
this. we are informed that the Tellu-
ride mill at Colorado City will start
up the first day of April and furnish
employment to not less than fifty men.
AT IL o'clock to-day the meeting OF
the board and the parties attending
to-wit. Mr.. Meyer. Mr.. MacNeill and
Mr.. Franklin-was adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday evening at the Alamo
hotel In the meantime President Moy-
er will visit Denver for the purpose
of comforting with his associates, re-
turning to Colorado City tomorrow af-
ternoon, when the matter will again be
taken up by the Mill and Smeltermen's
Union of that place.
The statement is signed by Judge c.
d. Hayt, chairman of the board.

cross-questioning. but both denied
completely with the affair. They would
not even admit. the chief says, that
they were in Pueblo at the time o.
the murder and say they can prove
that they were in a different part OF
the state. They are sullen pair and
answer questions in dogged manner.
Deputy Sheriff Granger says he is
positive that Davis and Brewer were
both in Pueblo the night of the muir
der. He also says the men who iden-
titled the photographs of the suspects
are persons who are not at all likely to
be mistaken.
The murders with which Davis and
Brewer are charged occurred In the
Losteau restaurant in Pueblo about
1880 O'Clock on the night of March 18th,
while the place was filled with custom
ers. Two men entered the front door
and with drawn revolvers told Mrs.
Losteau. who was In charge of the
cashiers window, to hand over the
money. Mrs. I.osteau screamed.
Among the people in the dining room
were DR.. j. II. Turner and c. Il. bish-
Oh. They arose from their seats and
were shot down by the robbers. who
ran out the front door and escaped. Dr.
Turner was killed instantly and Blshop
lived until the next morning.
Davis and Brewer served time In the
reformatory for robbing several stores
in Boulder in January of last year
They came to Denver after committing
the crimes and the police were asked
to look out for them. On the night OF
February 18th Policeman Morley was
notified that some one was on the roof
of the gambling house at No. 1853 Lar
inner street Morley crawled to the
roof and found Davis, Brewer and w.
G.. Berry. They were taken TO jail,
where they confessed that they were
going to rob the place. Davis ana
Brewer were identified as the men
wanted in Boulder They were sent to
that town and convicted. Berry, the
police say. is now serving sentence
in the penitentiary for burglary.
Davis and Brewer will be taken TO
Pueblo to-day.

CUBAN SENATE
RATIFIES TREATY

Havana. March 29.-The treaty of
red 0rocity between Cuba and the
limited States. as amended by the Sen
ate of the United States, was approved
at 8 O'Clock last night in the cuban
Senate by a vote of ~ to 8. This ap-
proyal is absolute and is not hampered
by any conditions, the questionable
time limit amendment having been dis
peused with through the receipt OF the
cable message from Secretary Hay, IN
which it was positively declared -that
President Roosevelt would call a spe-
cial session of Congress prior to De-
cember list. The purport of this was
transmitted to the Senate and read al
the beginning of the session, an un-
derstanding having been reached pre-
viously with Senators Bustamente, Ca
pote and Dolz, composing the majority
of the foreign relations committee, that
the Objectionable condition in the re-
mort be eliminated. This was done by
the offering of amendments by other
senators substituting the adoption OF
the amendments to the treaty ny the
American Senate fof the qualified ac-
ceptance contained in the original re-
port. -..,
United States Minister Squiers said
tonight to the representative OF the
Associated Press: THE ratification oil
the treaty without amendment is due
almost entirely to the assurances given
by President Roosevelt that he will call
an extra session of Congress before De-
cember LIST. This action of the Presi.
dent will be appreciated and accepted
by ths Cuban government and people
as az additional evidence of the most
sincere friendship and interest on the
part of the Americans. in whom they
have had faith and confidence"

PRESIDENT WILL
BRING FEW PEOPLE

Washington. March 30.-In arrang-
ing a presidential trip such as Mr..
Roosevelt is about to make, the great
est problem is to steer clear of local
and factional squabbles in the cities
where the President is to be enter
tanned.
There will not be as many people
accompany the President on his forth
coming trip as were with him on his
other western trip, or on his trip
through the East and South. AS far
as can be learned the party will in
clude Secretary Loeb, Assistant Secre-
tary Barnes. Surgeon General Rixey,
three stenographers, three messengers
and two secret service men. John Bor-
roughs, the naturalist. who will ac-
company the presidential party
through Yellowstone park; John Muir.
who will act as his escort through the
Yosemite; one representative of each
of the three press associations; one
representative of the three weekly H.
lustrated newspapers; one official pho
tographer and one representative of
each of the two telegraph companies.
Besides these room will be made on
the train for six or eight representa-
tives of the papers of the locality
through which the President is pass
ing. These men will be changed from
day to day. For instance. representa-
tives of the Omaha papers will be on
the train for a certain distance. leav-
ing it at Council Bluffs. where their
places will be taken by representa-
tives Of, the papers of Iowa; they in
turn will give way to the men from st.
Louis, and SO on until the trip is con-
cluded. The big papers of the East
have been using every endeavor to
get their special men on the train
throughout the entire trip. but with
out avail.

DEAF MADE TO HEAR.
Remarkable Invention Of MIR. tiutchIn-
son Works Successfully.


Another interesting demonstration
of the powers of the ACQUISITION" has
been given in New York City by tho
inventor, Miller Reese hutchinson.
Mr. Hutchinson selected as subjects
for the experiment several inmates of !
the New York Institution for the In
struction of Deaf and Dumb. Some
had been stricken with deafness at too
early an age to remember what the
meaning of sound was, and one young
girl in particular almost went into
spasms of delight when the ear-piece
was adjusted and she heard the strains
of music.
Mark Twain was in the little andi-
ence, as was also Mrs. George Dewey.
wife of Admiral Dewey. There was
one skeptic present. He was deaf, but
had no faith in the invention, SO he
asked to be put in the chair. This
was done and his face flushed with
surprise when he was able to distin-
guish mamma" from papa" Mr..
Hutchinson said, "Hello!" to him and
he repeated 1t.
number of other tests were made
and all were successful.
