FLOOD In sUsQUEHANNA.
Situation at Bloomsbury, Catawisss
and Espy Getting Worse.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, January 25.-The
flood at Bloomsbury, Catawissa and Espy
is still rising, the immense gorge of ice
growing stronger instead of giving way. A
large portion Of Bloomsbury is now flooded
and the water has reached the second story
of many of the houses. The homeless are
being cared for in the higher parts of the
town. Business is practically suspended.
At Espy people were compelled to leave
their homes this morning, and at Catawissa
all the streets along the river front are UNI
der water. There is no loss of life reported.
although there were many narrow escapes.
The strong current is making the rescue of
people in the flooded districts dangerous
undertaking. n1-r =
TOLEDO. Ohio. January 25.-The cold
weather causedAthe running ice to gorge
again yesterday at the mouth of the river.
Much heavy ice came down. which froze as
soon as it stopped running. The water
this morning 1t was three inches higher
than the highest point Saturday. Since
then it has been slowly receding, evidently
having made a passage under the solid
pack Ice which covers the surface. At 10
o'clock today it was nine inches below the
am mark.
CLEVELAND. January 25.-The prevail
ing cold wave has effectually checked the
destructive floods throughout northern and
central Ohio. Reports received from many
points today generally indicate that the
waters are rapidly falling as result of the
extreme cold. The weather bureau ther-
mometer in this city registered degrees
below zero today.

LICENSES RENEWED.
Applications of Twelve Clubs Approved
by Excise Board.


The District excise board today renewed
the licenses of twelve clubs operating in the
District There were sixteen applications
for renewal of license before the board. but
action on four of the applications was de-
ferred until tomorrow The board investi-
gated these Organizations this afternoon
and tomorrow will announce their decision
as to whether they will grant or refuse per-
mits to the four clubs whose licenses have
been temporarily held up.
The clubs licensed by the excise board to-
day were as follows: jolly Fat Mems. Club,
Army and Navy, Barfenders' Union, Gen.
fury, Cosmos. Home, Metropolitan, South
west Washington Business Mems Club,
Sparta, Villa Flora, Washington Saenger-
bund and the Metropole.
The other clubs applying Tor licenses were
the 1roquois Club. Chaniberlain's, Bright
wood Driving Club and the Washington
Jockey Club. ~
All the licenses were granted under the
new rules, providing that on secular nights
the bars shall be closed not later than II 30
am, and that Sundays the bars shall be
closed between the hours of 10 am. and
pm. and at II o'clock midnight.
The members of the excise board made a
tour of inspection of the clubs last Satur-
day afternoon, but did not complete their
examination. The applications of the clubs
inspected were approved today. None of
the clubs whose licenses have been held up
has been investigated by the members of
the board. 1t is thought that all the appli-
cations will be acted upon tomorrow.
There seems to be no decided opposition
to the new order promulgated by the ex-
else board relative to early closing of the
bars and restrictions in the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors Sundays. No protests
against the recent order have been made to
the excise board, and the members of that
body state that they are of the opinion that
all the clubs will acquiesce in the order.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN CUBA.
Minister Quesada Favors Line Of
Steamers to Newport News.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, January 25-
Among the most distinguished guests OF
the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company at the launching of the
cruiser Charleston here last Saturday was
Senior Gonzale de Quesada, Cuban minister
to the United States. He was accompanied
by Senior Manuel de Vega, second secretary
of the Cuban legation at Washington. and
Senior Jose G. Delgado, a wealthy sugar
planter of Cuba.
Senior Quesada speaks English fuently,
and talked Interestingly of this country.
Il feel an especial interest in this section, -
he said. for it was from Old Point Comfort
two years ago that party of us embarked
on the steamer Admiral Farragut for the
purpose of going to Cuba to establish our
own government. In this party was Presi-
dent Palma. AT that time l. was a member
of congress- but since then have received
the appointment of minister to this country.
'.While efforts sometimes are made to
make it appear otherwise, our people are
deeply grateful to the people of this country
for the assistance given US in our struggle
for independence.
In response to query regarding the
probable effect of the reciprocity treaty
between the United States and Cuba, Senior
Quesada declared that it would result in
much closer commercial relations between
the two countries.
Il am heartily in favor of the establish
ment of a line of steamers between Cuba
and Hampton Roads ports" he continued
I'VE get lots of coal from this point. and
1 can see no reason why a regular line
could not be made profitable investment
with a very small development of trade
You have here excellent facilities for the
distribution of fruits and kindred products
from Cuba, and there is no reason why the
ships that carry out coal should not bring
back cargoes of our products.
According TO Senior Quesada, the future
is radiant with promise for Cuba. The de-
velopment of tie natural resources of the
country hardly has begun Many Americans
are going there at present and the small
farm idea is being developed to a wonderful
extent. Senior Quesada says his govern
ment is beginning to realize that half
dozen prosperous small farms are much bet
ter than one inmense plantation.

GERMAN LOSS HEAVY
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO RE-
LIEVE oKAHANDJA.
The Hereros Reported to Be Threaten
ing windhoek-causes Of
the Uprising.

BERLIN, January 25-An Official dispatch
from Windhoek, German Southwest Africa,
says the Germans have lost heavily in UNI
successful attempts to relieve Okahandja,
that five settlers and their entire families
have been murdered and that the Hereros
are threatening Windhoek.
A German patrol which engaged the ma
tives near Hope Farm lost reserve officer,
Won Boysen; one non-commissioned officer
and six men killed.
The garrison of Windhoek numbers $50
men, part of the force being horsemen.
with two machine guns.
Light has been thrown by the Frankfort
Zeitung on some Of the contributory causes
of the Hereros rising in German Southwest
Africa as the result of statements made to
that paper by traveller who has just re-
turned from Windhoek and Okahandja. The
merchants and the traders allied with them
are charged with purposeiy involving the
natives in debt. According to this traveller
the traders are mostly discharged soldiers
whom the merchants equip with wagons
and from sixteen to twenty oxen and goods
valued at thousands of marks. The traders
sell at first entirely on credit. not requiring
any cash until they make later trips. The
improvident natives buy largely and re-
peatedly on these easy terms and the mer-
chants favor the system by extending and
renewing the credits of the traders, some
times to 5000 marks. The traders finally
begin collecting portions of the debts, TAX
ing cattle in payment and at the same time
selling more goods on credit. The natives
are often indebted to several traders at
once.
The Frankfort Zeitung's informant adds
that he found the merchants took an aver
age of 20 per cent profit on the transactions
of the traders and the latter added 100 per
cent and usually made 20 per cent more on
the cattle which they took in payment. The
traders further arouse the anger of the
natives by selling the latter's cattle ar
bitrarily, without waiting for legal pro-
cedure 1t is true that the authorities Eor-
bid this, but the natives usually do not
complain, merely nursing their grievances.
and if they do complain the police have
difficulty in discovering the offending
traders.
The last news from Windhoek was dated
January II; but no news has been received
from Okahanja since January II.
The garrison of Windhoek was brought up
to it's present strength by enrolling all the
settlers and Beers.
The German government has given up the
plan to organize an expedition of Germans
in Cape Colony, as it is estimated that they
could not be assembled and dispatched ear
lier than the arrival of the reinforcements
which have already embarked at Wilhelms-
haven.
The government is buying horses in Ar
gentina for shipment direct to German
Southwest Africa.
