AMERICANS IN PERIL.
Niesraguans Threaten to Loot Cap
tured Cities of Honduras.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March 10,
via New Orleans, March 20.--A turn Of
sinister significance was given TO the
Central American war today by the
finding on the persons Of captured Nj
caaguan soldiers proclamations prom.
ising them loot OF the first cities which
they can capture in both Honduras and
Salvador.
Americans In Puerto Cortez are anx.
ious, because American residents are
the principal property holders Of most
OF the Honduran cities. ANY doubt as
to the completeness Of such loot is
dispelled not only by the wording OF
the proclamations, but by the expert
ence had in 1894 by some Of the per.
sons not living at Puerto Cortez, who
were present at the looting OF Cholu-
teca, Honduras.

vic,s occupied the limelight In the trial
Of Bingcr Hermann today, while men
under indictment played minor roles.
S, A, d. Puter, the governments

ley, who told In considerable detail the
manner In which he, Horace q. Me-
Kinley and +. +, Mays attempted to
get rich quick" through the absorp-
tion Of land IN the Blue mountain for
est reserve.
The stories told by Puter and TaTp-
ley did not throw any new light on
either the Blue mountain or the III
land fraud cases. which were threshed
out In Portland. But the stories OF
both men were retold today TO show
their relations with Hermann and to
aid the government in its efforts to
show Hermann's motive for destroying

LOST BRIDGES STOP TRAFFIC.
Child. Drowned In Creek-FruIt Crop
Maybe Ruined.

San Jose, CAL, March 20,-More
damage has been done by floods in the
creeks in the last "a hours than In the
past l5 years. The washing out Of
bridges, notably the Southern Pacific
on the Almaden branch, will stop all
traffic from San Jose to Los Gatos by
way Of Campbell for weeks, The dam
age in the vicinity OF the latter town
will reach many thousand dollars.
Fruit farmers generally are OF the
opinion that there will be light crops
this year, II some do not prove utter
failures. The rains are believed to
have washed out much OF the pollen,
which will prevent the blooms matuI-
ing into fruit.
At San Martin, Harold Bole, the g.
year old son Of we'll known rancher,
fell into the swollen Lagas creek and
was drowned. At Santa Clara several
families were driven from their homes

Go Free u They Tell All.

San Francisco. March s0.--Followlng
the Wholesale confession Of members OF
the board OF supervisors before the
grand jury yesterday, there was u
scramble today OF bribc,akers and
brlbegivers to get from under. The
rush to Heney's office began with dawn
and continued far into the night.
The greater part OF the volunteer
army was turned away, but n few who
were able TO throw new light on some
OF the bribery scandals were allowed to
pour forth their tales OF degradation.
II may be stated ut the outset In pos.
itive terms that District Attorney Lang.
don and Assistant District Attorney
Heney will grant immunity TO those
supervisors who have confessed. II
may also be stated that every member
of the original beard, with possibly two
exceptions, have confessed,
With equal positiyeness II may DO
stated that the ultimate object OF the
prosecution is not the conviction Of
Mayor Schmitx and Abe Ruef, II
Schmitx and Ruef will reveal the full
details Of their nefarious transactions
and make conviction OF the millionaire
bribegivers doubly sure, they will eth.
er be parioned after conviction or will
be allowed to 70 free.
Should they refuse to confess the evil
dence at hand will be used agins,

both to Jail for the rest Of their lives.
Convictions can be obtained aRainst

birbed u supervisor he laid the ionnda-
tlon for fresh indictment, and he
blibed 10 of them time and time again.

All Business In Stockton Suspended

FARMS UNDER WATER.
Sacramento River Never Known to
Be So High Before,


Sacramento, CAL, March ss.--Ftom
all down-river points come alarming
news that the Sacramento river is high
er than ever known, and that the sit
uation all along the levecs is appalling,
There is already suffering and every
bodied man is assisting in the fight
against the water that is pouring into
the breaches and inundating thousands
OF acres OF the finest farming land in
the state.
Special dispatches to the Union from
Freeport, Couitland, Walnut Grove
and franklin state that the river has
reached the highest stage ever recorded,
and it Is predicted that the terrible
cenes witnessed during the tremen-
dous floods of 1904 will be surpassed.
Standing on the levee neal CORTLAND
one may see for go miles TO the south
east across an unbiose sea of water
which extends clear to Stockton.
Thousands OF cattle are being shelter
ed ON top OF the levees, as there is nc
other place for them, and IL the water
does not fall soon an indescrihable con-
dition of disaster is considered newt
able.
This morning the blockade on the
Southern Pacific lines was made COM
plete, when the line to the East was
made helpless by a washout OF 200 feet
of track at Applegate, but during the
afternoon the situation changed for the
better when, with the report that the
Applegate washout had been repaired,
came another stating that it was ex-
pected the track would soon be open
through to stockton.
A trestle was placed in the gap at
the Applegate washout this afternoon
and more trains were dispatched East.
One of these, Portland train, will be
sent to Utah and via the Oregon Short
Line. The Placerville line is in full
commission again, but no trains are
operated on the Marysville branch fur
ther than Wheatand.
On the Portland line no trains are
running beyond Redding, the tracks be-
ing out at Keswick, Campbell II and Ken
nett, and it is not expected that travel
can be resumed beyond Redding for at
least ten days.
