ALL DAY LIST
FOR THE FOURTH
PLANS ALMOST READY TO BE
MADE PUBLIc-EAcH MIN
UTE FILLED.

Tentative plans for the celebration
of the Fourth. of July, calling for an
expenditure of $4,000, have been formu-
lated by the joint committee of the
merchants association and the chamber
of commerce, the plans being along
lines more elaborate than for any re-
cent celebration of the day. There
may be changes in the present plans
of the committee and in detail they
may be modified somewhat.
The day will be ushered in by the
usual national salute at sunrise from
the forts encircling the city, and from
that time until late in the evening
there will not be dull moment.
In the morning, commencing at eight
thirty, will be a parade, with antiques
and horribles, followed an hour later by
water sports in the harbor. The water
sports will continue until noon, al
which time the literary program will
be given at the opera house. 1t is eX
pected that the parade will be of more
than usual interest, as some big prizes
will be offered
During the afternoon sports will bt

plans are being matured to make thi
pronounced success. The water car

FLOOD WATERS
SURG|NG IN

New Orleans in Grip Of
the Worst Flood in
Her History
RAINS SWELL RIVER
Workers at Baton Rouge
Discouraged When
Rise Comes
RAINS SWELL RIVER

NEW ORLEANS, May 11.-Nover in
the history of this city has the suffering
and loss from flood been greater than
at the present time, while gloomy fore
casts are being made as to what the
next few days will bring forth Prior
to yesterday, three days cessation in
the rain and falling river gave hopes
that the worst of the destruction here
and up river had been experienced,
but yesterday came more heavy rains,
sudden jump in the flood level, more
complete destruction to levees and q
surge of water through the streets that
carried it to levels heretofore regarded
as well beyond the danger mark.
From up river come further dis
couraging reports. The thousands of
citizens who have been almost continu-
ously at work attempting to repair the
breaks in the levees and save what was
possible, are almost discouraged and
urgent appeals for help have gone out
to other cities and to the State at
large.
6lBnCluCn Rise.
Five and half inches of rain fell
in the lower Mississippi Valley yester-
day within a few hours. The swollen
tributaries poured this flood into the
river and yesterday afternoon the flood
crest reached here on new level,
eight inches higher than before. Two
hours after the waters began again to
rise they had reached this maximum,
higher than ever before in flood his
| tory, and the streams that had been
pouring in diminishing torrents through
the levee breaks began again to tear
away the temporary sand bag dams
piled in to stay their ravages.
AT an early hour this morning the
waters had almost completely flooded
the entire city. Some sections have
the buildings completely submerged.
Few sections of the city have escaped.
Despair at Baton Rouge.
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, May IL.
Hopes of making any repairs to the
levees at this point has been despaired
of for the present. Yesterdays sud-
den rise of the river has not only wiped
out the temporary repairs accomplished
but has done further damage. Work is
still going on, but despairingly.

Tower, which was converted into an
observation and wigwagging station.
The Blue artillery was unlimbered, par
tally on the main road and partially
in an old pineapple field, and heavy
shell fire was directed against the field
artillery of the Reds, two miles dis
tant. The wagon train and the con-
voy of dusty and tired-looking troops
was halted behind the guns, the men
falling out to the sides of the road
where they ate hasty meal of sand
witches.
At this moment Colonel Bell sent
orders to the wigwaggers to halt all
proceedings for an hour.
At one O'Clock the engagement was
renewed, when the Red infantry crossed
the guleh and finally, with cheers and
with fixed bayonets, charged the Blues.
The beanten Blues suddenly retreated,
firing as they fell back. The signal
men notified Colonel Bell, who was in
the thick of this part of the engage
ment that the wagon train and convoy
had passed up the road to Wahiawa.
This was considered safe movement,
and the wagon train was declared
saved.

ESCAPED PRISONER IS CAUGHT
CONFESSES FULLY TO POLICE

(From Saturdays Advertiser.) /
Nine months of watching, waiting
and searching for Peter Rodrigues, the
prisonr, escaped from the county Jail
last September, ended at three O'Clock
yesterday morning at Lauhulu, midway
between Waimea canyon and Hawai-
loa, when an automobile containing
Chief McDuffie, Sergeant Kellett, De-
"bait" and a kahuna stone ran into
a horse ON which Rodrigues was riding.
McDuffie left Honolulu at midnight,
Thursday, on forlorn hope and caught
Rodrigues within a mile of the spot he
had picked out before he left as the
place where they would be most likely
! to meet him. The tip came from E.
! Logan of Laie, who chased lame man,
carrying a saddle into some cane. He
| was so uncertain as to the suspicious
character IS identity that he thought at
first it was Russian, but the chief
thought all the indications were that it
was Rodrigues and went after him.
| pNiuiN iiS itib hiShl, thS
chief decided that Rodrigues would at
tempt to get past Kahuku and the
police there, knowing that he had
probably been recognized, and make
for Kawailoa, where he has friends.
Rodrigues methods while at large
showed that he never went out at night
and McDuflie calculated that if the
escaped prisoner followed out his most
logical plan, he would be caught few
miles the other side of Kawailoa.
By Light of Moon.
The Honolulu party reached Haleiwa
shortly after one o'clock, turned out
all the lights of the auto and proceeded
under the lrght of quarter-moon. Just
before entering Waialua the chief
jumped out of the auto and grabbed a

} Rodrigues was quite dramatic. The
former were coasting in the shade
of some trees without being able to see
} very far ahead of them when suddenly
} only almost on top of them loomed the
figure of horse and rider. The horse
man was equally taken by surprise and
half turned his animal, but before ht
, could get away the chief jumped out
. from the front seat and covered hin
l with revolver, deciding to act frs
, and ask questions later.
"Throw up your hands," demanded
the chief as the other made an attemp
to ride off and Rodrigues did so, tn,
next moment being pulled off the hors
and handcuffed by the other officers.

peared on the crest of the hill on the
north or Waialua side of the gulrh.
They advanced until near the edge of
the gulch when they were fired upon by
a squad of infantry on the opposite
bank. The outpost fell back and met
an advancing body of troops who
crawled forward ON the plateau to the
edge of the gulch. A Blue infantry
detachment filed down the side of the
gulch and on rising to n crest of Il
