EVANSVILLE STILL
 UNDER THE FLOOD
DEFINITE LOSS OF LIFE CANNOT BE KNOWN ALTHOUGH THE
 WIRES ARE WORKING.

zanesvile, Ohio, March 2S.--Wire communication is being slowly re- stored, rumors are rife of loss of life, but there are only four known deaths in this city as a result of the flood, However, practically all of the Sev- enth, Eighth and Ninth wards and a large portion of the Tenth ward are still under ten to thirty feet of water and few boats have dared brave the torrent. About half the entire city Is still submerged.
 Five men, Theodore Cassidy, John Wait, Ray Beach, Wm. Canning and
 Policeman Muey, crossed the Muskin- gum river to Putnam Thursday after. | noon and saved thirteen lives. They 1 re-erossed the river to the Zanesville side this morning. The property loss
 in Zanesville is estimated at between 1 $6,000,000 and S8,000.000. Water com l pletely covers the "" bridge to a
 depth of 15 feet and It cannot now be told whether it is still standing. The
 Sixth street, Third street and DOT
 tion of the Monroe street bridges and two railroad bridges in the city are
 washed out and there is not another bridge remaining standing between this city and Marietta,
 Rufu s. Barton, president of the Chamber of Commerce. has asked Governor Cox for $50.000 to be used in alleviating distress.
 National Guards from New Lexing- ton, Lancaster and Cambridge have arrived with provisions. 4 cold wave and lack of gas and coal add to the discomfort. Communication from high points about the city are being carried on by wireless telegraph and heetograph.
 The city has been endangered by several fires which died out of their own accord and no fire fighting appa- ratus could be gotten near
 At least 200 homes have floated down the river.
 Comparatively littIe footing has been reported and the city is under stricter martial law tonight than at any time previously.

Of disease epidemics. City authori. ties clashed over the admission of the public to that section of the city and the board of health, acting undeg extensive powers conferred by a law passed by the recent general assem- bie, had Mayor Shank rescind his action, then established a quarantine with close picked line, but relief workers are to be kept out of the flood districts until good sanitary conditions are established
 Railroad and interurban facilities both paralyzed by the flood, were improved during the day and ample supplies can be sent to all stricken districts. The newly threatened sou. thern districts are taking extreme precautions in all danger districts, have had ample warning of possible record breaking water mark
 New Albany and Evansville citi, zens were especially alarmed at the continued rise of the Ohio and all movables were being carried to places of certain safety Four drownings were reported from Terre Haute where the Wabash river con. tinued rising. Vincennes is said to be in great danger but all reliable communication with that place has been cut off
 Indianapolis worst danger now lies in wave of disease that may follow the floods. Government health authorities are reaching the north ern Wabash valley from Chicago and Dr c. o. Cobb, surgeon general of the marine hospital at Chicago with a staff of assistants, will aid state and city authorities.
 Water service was resumed in In dianapolis this afternoon with warn ings issued that the water must not be used for drinking or food purposes unless boiled. Street car service was restored on all lines except those cut off by washed out bridges and condi tions will be almost normal again soon.

Garrison Is Persistent.

On Board Secretary of War Garri- sons Special, Kenosha, Va, March 2S. --Despite the efforts of all railroad men to warn him against attempting to penetrate the heart of the flood dis trict, Secretary Garrison, undaunted by disheartening delays which have marked his journey, declared tonight in emphatic terms that he would under no circumstances abandon his under taking. At Williamson the secretary was told the situation was hopeless beyond Kenova, so far as reaching Co iumbus was concerned.
 We shall go forward as long as there is a length of track to carry us, said the war secretary as his train crept snail-lille through the mar row Blue Ridge passes. Even if we do not reach Dayton in time to coop crate in the immediate rescue work ourselves, though delayed. it will not be less necessary in the work of re- construction. We cannot think of turning back"
 Both Secretary Garrison and Major General Wood were heartened by re- ports from Washington that Major Normoyle had reached Dayton. Word that the railroad bridge at Kenova already was weakened served only to intensity their determination to push on. Railroad officials sent hurried messages in an effort to arrange passage beyond kenova. Throuphout the entire journey the trainmen had to proceed with the utmost caution Rain soaked roadbeds are heavy and unstable and avalanches from eln- hankments threaten to block the track

The president read to the cabinet ais message to the extraordi- nary session of congress about 1,200 words long. 1t was approved and or dered printed.

 MT. Wilson discussed certain plases Of the China situation with the cabi- net. but the recognition of the repuh- lie which practically has been decided upon, was deferred until subsequent meeting
 The president announced his future policy with respect to jury reform and the necessity for constitutional con vention in New Jersey. He suggested recommending to Governor Fielder that the jury bill failed in the present legislature and that an extra session of that body should be called
 The president also offered to speak in New Jersey in behalf of the re- forms

GENERAL SUMMARY OF slTuA. TON CONTAINS A LORE HOPE
 FILL VIEW OF FLOODS.
COLUMBUS TOTALS 60 DEATHS
Fiood-Ridden Districe is Pacing a New and Serious Danger in
 Contagion That Follows the Rush of Waters.

Flood waters receded sufficiently last night to show that the number of persons drowned in all the affect ed cities in Ohio and Indiana may not exceed 500. While many per sons are still missing to friends, and relatives, investigations made today indicated that many were safe who had been thought lost In Dayton careful estimates placed the number of deaths at 200 or fewer, although a meeting of the undertak- CTS asserted that the total might be 500. Relief work went on rapidly in Dayton and all parts of the city were reached. Columbus will have the next to the largest loss ot life, sixty bodies hav- ing already been found in the inun- dated portion Of West Columbus Unverified figures for Miamisburg. Ohio, gives fifty dead. but in all oth- CT flooded cities the figures fell off rapidly as relief expeditions covered the ground.
 Hamilton. Ohio, which had report ed as many as 250 dead, did not put forth any figures today.
 Mount Vernon did not confirm its previous report of 90 dead and no confirmation was had for 32 reported drowned at Venice, o.
 Chilicothe and Tiffin. Ohio, where there had been reports of 90 or more dead, each found Is corpses up to midnight.
 The best figures from Piqua give death toll of 50 persons. Fremont and Middletown, Ohio, each had four teen dead; Massilea $; and Zanes- villc {.
 Troy. Ohio, 3 dead
 The Indiana total drowned receded to fewer than 50. distributed as fol- lows:
 Peru 20: Brookville. 16; Ft Wayne and Terre Haute 4 No bodies have been found in West Indianapolis, where as many as 200 deaths were at one time reported.
 With the situation somewhat ale viated in the flood swept districts of Ohio and Indiana. new menace threatened tonight in the rise of rivers in the southern valleys of both states
 At Cincinnati, the Ohio, swelled by it's tributaries north and south caus- ed alarm and although the situation had not yet reached an acute stage reports from neighboring Kentucky towns indicated that warnings had been issued to the inhabitants to seek points of safety from the rising wat er
 In Indiana alarm was felt in the valleys of the Ohio, Wabash and the White rivers, but ample warning served in a measure to reduce the panic.

Hope Succeeds Despair.

South Dayton, O., March 2S.-Day- tons loss of life probably will not exceed 200. This estimate is based upon personal canvass of almost a hundred of Dayton's leading citizens, men of unprecedented judgment and reliability who have been engaged in relief and rescue work in every sec ton of .he city since the rising wat CTS invaded the business section.
 The property loss. purely tangible and real, will probably exceed $50,- 100000. This included damage to real estate and public works in those parts Of the city where these forms of property are most valuable, stores in two leading garages and other pe.- s0nal property, much of which was owned by the more prosperous resi- dents, to manufacturing mercantile and jewellers stocks which wer' swept away; public utility plants and equipment and it includes also the cost of rebuilding miles of asphalt streets and walks which were liter ally ripped from their beds.
 The loss of life is confined almost entirely to North Dayton. inhabited 0y foreigners and laborers. West Day ton which comprises districts or a more ss;hstaatial character in River dale in Dayton View and other res idence districts, there was no loss of life. Several lives are known to have been lost in the business dlstric' but mono of the Tumors that human beings had perished in the lire which swept two city block would stand the test of searching inYesu EatioD. ln fact a score of cool headed pen who were in some of the bulid ings and others who watched the tre from across the street assert positlfe ly that every occupant of the Dufh ing buildings escaped.

Rise at Cincinnati.

! Cincinnati. Ohio. March 2S.--Tae waters of the Ohio river continue to
 rise increased in volume by the flood
 waters from tributaries east and north Of here, this city Is facing the
 worst flood in it's history. Late to- day the river stage was 64 feet with indications that before many hours have passed, tae gauge would reach 70 feet. almost to the mark of 1884, the record year.
 Weather forecasteTs here tonight expressed conviction that during to- morrow the river would reach 6S feet and would go to the 70-foot mark early next week, probably Monday. The weather bureau also declared there would be a further rise of five to ten feet at all points above within tao next two or three days.
 At Cincinnati the conditions are not quite acute, but 1t Is feared that soon they will be. All the lowIands been submerged and so along the wa ter front of the business section that the commercial houses are gradually disappearing under the yellow river. No loss of life has occurred here.
 Along the Kentucky shore condi- tions are rapidly becoming worse. At Covington more than 500 houses are reported submerged and their occu- pants are being given shelter and protection in public buildings.
 Plans are rapidly being formulated to care for flood sufferers and a meet ing was held at Covington tonight at which arrangements were made to raise sufficient fund for the pu-s pose. At the same time arrange ments also were made for policing the flood zone and preventing footing.
 As the Ohio and Licking rivers rise and the former attains the 70. foot stage more and more of Coving- ton recedes beneath the surface of the water.
 Inhabitants of ta1e west end of the city have left their homes. The river front section of Ludlow Is deep under water and the residents have remov- ed. Bromley is entirely cut off from other neighboring towns. Dayton, Ky, and other nearby small towns are in the same isolated condition and there is much suffering in conse- quence.
 Many large manufacturing plants have been closed because operatives have been unable to reach their places of employment.
 Newport, which with Covington, is opposite Cincinnati. forming the larger of the suburban sections, is in almost as bad case as its neighbor- ing city. The flood water is rising in all parts of tho town. Street car lines soon will have to be abandoned and it is feared that before many hours the lines into Cincinnati will have to cease operations. This also is true of Covington lines. Electric light and gas plants also are threat ened
 One of the bridges across the Ohio has been closed and authorities are preparing to close others to the pub- lie, thus cutting off the south shore from communication with Cincinnati and also closing practically the only railway outlet this city has had to the south and east.
 No food shortage is anticipated in this section, but warnings have heen Issued by the mayors of this and other nearby cities that merchants must not take advantage Of the eit ration to charge extoxtionate pflces.

Memphis. Tenn, March 2s.--Late tonight the Mississippi river at Mem phis was within one foot of flood stage which. according to S.. c. Elm cry, local weather bureau forecaster will be passed tomorrow At TOO o'clock the height at Memphis was officially reported as 33.7 feet a rise of five-tenths in 12 hours; at Cairo. 4S1 a rise of seven-tenths, and at Vicksburg, Miss, 38 feet, a rise of two-tenths. MT. Emery in bulletin issued today predicted that the stage here would exceed 43 feet, how much more he could not estimate. and that a stage of 40 feet will be reached within five days

A num- Der have been assembled at Marian na, Ark, and the governor of that state was urged today to ship fifty tents to Marianna with view of es- tablishing a refugee camp One hum dred conyicts will be put to work on Arkansas levees tomorrow. At Blythe vile, Ark, a fund Is being raised by popular subscription 10 employ lab orers. One thousand dollars was subscribed today.
 A dispatch from Beulah, Miss, re- ported the water up to the base of the rock levee being constructed to place the dike swept away by the floods of last year.
