Flood in England.

Norwich, England, Aug. 29.-Though
there was a slight recession of the
flood here today the peoples plight is
terrible. Thousands are hungry, al
most naked and shelterless. Private
charity is wholly inadequate to
meet the situation. The city coun-
Gil has issued an emphatic warning
against drinking the water but many
have been driven by their suffer
ings from thirst to use it. A ty-
phoid epidemic is feared. The whole
countryside is huge lake, covered
by the floating bodies of drowned
ture.

POLICE RAILROAD.
Two Thousand Marines and Sailors
Will be Modified in Country by
Next Week.

Washington, Aug. 29.-four nuiiu-
red bluejackets landed early this morn
ing at Corinto, Nicaragua from the
cruiser California, and took charge of
policing the railroad to Managua, the
Nicaraguan capital, according to ad-
vices received today by the State De-
partment. Two thousand marines and
sailors will be mobolized in Nicara-
qua by next week.
A salutary effect upon the Nicara-
guam insurgents was had by President
Taft's order, although rescinded at
midnight, of the Tenth Infantry at
Panama to proceed to Cortnto. Min
lister Weitzel reports today from Ma
nagua that the insurgents stayed un-
der cover yesterday, following the
news of the threatened arrival Of the
American soldiers.
Reopening of the railroad between
Managua and Corinto will be the first
work of the American bluejackets to-
day, State Department officials declar-
ed. The men of the California will be
scattered along the railroad right-of-
way, to prevent molestation of trains
by the rebels.
The intention of this country to sup
port the Diaz administration in Mica
ragua was clearly evinced today
when an official audience was denied
at State Department to members of
the Nicaragua "junta," DR.. Angel Ul-
CARTE and General Altschul revolution
ary sympathizers. They were told
to make any complaints or appeal
through the Nicaraguan minister.
Whether fear of grave international
complications with Latin-America, or
whether there are sufficient marines to
guard American interests in Nicara-
qua, was the impelling motive that
suddenly caused President Taft to
change his mind and recall the order
issued for the dispatch of the Tenth
u. S. Infantry from Panama to
Nicaragua, was not cleared up by Off
cial information given out today at
the State Department.
Department officials stated today
that it was suddenly discovered last
night that enough marines, includ-
ing those on board the Prairie now in
transit, could be thrown into Nicara-
qua in very brief time, thereby obvi
ating the necessity of sending Ameri-
can troops. This conclusion was reach
ed so suddenly that late yesterday
afternoon none of the officials of eth
er the State or War Department
knew of the supposed change of con-
ditions. The order from President
Taft cancelling the proposed expedi-
tion came very late at night, and
if any reassuring news came from Mic
aragua, it may have arrived during
the intervening period.
State Department officials reiterat-
ed today that it made no difference
to them whether the men sent into
Nicaragua were marines or infantry.
They said that they were interested
only in protecting Americans and not
particular about the method resorted
to.
That conditions in Nicaragua are
not improved are shown by a dispatch
received at the State Department to-
day. dated August 26, in which Amer
lean Minister Weitzel states that an
other attack on Managua the capital,
was threatened by rebels and that the
situation is grave.

The facts, says this paper, are that he

Pope often must celebrate the holy
sacrifice in sitting posture. His
limbs do not hold him, despite his en-
ergetic efforts to save appearances.
