The committee OF Cairo business
men, headed by Mayor George Par

ington to attempt to secure aid in
heightening the Cairo levees, yester-
day appeared before River and Har-
bor's Committee of the House of
representatives. They will, today,
seek hearing before the Senate
committee.
The appropriation, sought by the
committee. will have to be appended
to the general River and Harbor
bill, which Is now in the Senate,
This will be voted on in short time
and the men are doing all in their
power to get congressional aid for

charge of General Bi1by of st. Louis,

The committee met with disap-
pointment, when informed by Cen
eral Bixby that none of the appro-
priation could be used in raising or
strengthening the Cairo levees, Ac-
cording to the laws, as interpreted
by the board. the only places the
War Department can raise or build
levees, is where they are necessary
to navigation. This, he declares
could hardly be stretched enough to
cover Cairo, which always has ample
water for navigation needs.

has been completely routed by the
garrison of this city, aided by the
police. The attack began on We'd

operating in the hills surrounding
Tepic, on the day previous, demand
ed the surrender of the garrison, un-

Replies With Shot.
Wednesday afternoon Col. Espi-

the rebel chiefs, by means of can
non ball, which, landing on a fat
topped hill, on which number Of
rebels had gathered, killed three of
them and wounded two others. At
In the afternoon the rebels, leaving
their horses on the hill, and crawl

1t was seen that the rebels would
enter, If possible, by the main
roads. Putting small guard at the
entrance way to the road which
penetrates the heart of fYthe capital,
Col Espinosa sent a third part of the
police to each of the main roads, to
receive and return the first fire of
the rebels. Behind these he placed
six squads Of regulars fifty in each
squad, one just behind each party
of cavalry and one halfway into the
main plaza. This gave occupation
to all the mounted police and 800
