ports during the night of the 21st and
22d that I decided to go up the rive
on the morning of the I'D ard bring
out the Americans. Early o: the
morning of April 22d | sent a mes
! sage to Captain Doughty of the Brit
ish cruiser Hermoine, telling him OF
my intent, and asking him to inform
General Zaragoza that I was coming
in for the sole purpose of taking out
| American citizens.
Captain Doughty at once made q
request that my plan should be
changed. He pointed out that it was
not only Americans who were on
cerned. but also English. German,
French and Spanish. He did not
| doubt my ability to handle the Tam
| pico situation, but he did fear for the
| safety Of all foreigners in the city
and in the interior. One shot from
my guns. one clash between my men
and the federal forces, and a fire
would be lighted that would spread
far faster than n relief expedition
could hope to follow. What he sug-
gested was that | should remain out
side and permit him to collect all
Americans quietly and slowly, and
then send them out to me.
For three days the work of rescue
went on. We took out about 5000
Americans. dividing up among the
ships as best we could. I chartered
one steamer and also had sent me
two transports. the Hancock and the
Dixie. and two Ward line steamers.
| sent about 200 Americans to Gal
weston on these vessels and the Con
nccticut and some golfers and de-
s~treycrs. Also later sent a large
number to New Orleans"

GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR,
 DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY
TRY THIS! HAIR GETS THICK GLOSSY. NAVY AND BEAU
 TIFUL AT ONCE.

Immediate?- Certain?-that' s the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap- pears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as young girls after Danderine hair cleanse Just try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at time This will cleanse the hair of dust dirt or excessive oil, and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, puri- fies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair-fine and downy at first yes-but really new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pret- ty, soft hair, and lots of it surely get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Dan derine from any drug store or toilet counter and just try it.-Advt.

Children love this harmless fruit laxative" and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little 'insides' clean and sweet.
 Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomor- row, but get the genuine Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of Cali fornia Syrup of Figs which has di- rections for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle.

FLOOD IMPFR|LS
 200 Al COULD

Grady, Feb. 3.-Twenty refugees are huddled in the Iron Mountain railroad station at Gould, Desha county, IA miles below here, and the telegraph operator, talking at mid night with the operator at Gould learned that the latter knows noth- ing of the fate of the remainder of the 200 inhabitants of the town which he said is inundated from a depth of three to ten feet.
 Three miles south of here-where the railroad track vanishes in the flood, volunteer rescuers and the crew of a special Iron Mountain train are working strenuously to launch from a flat car the 30-foot gasoline launch Elsah, and three small boats, brought from Pine Bluff, which will be hur- rie dover the deluged farms to the re lief of the endangered people. The rescuers probably will have the launch in the water and under way with the small boats in tow by 1 o'clock
 Water pouring through the breaks in the levee, is rushing through the town in a torrent, although it is sev' eral miles from the river. The cur rent is so swift that row boats could not survive in it.

 OUT OF DANGER

From Fridays Daily
 fall of 30 inches or more from the highest stage in the Arkansas registered up to this afternoon, is be- ileved to have removed all danger ot a break in the levee in District No. 7 of this county. At the highest water the river lacked only three or four Inches of topping the levee and yes terday a large hole broke through and seriously threatened the levee, put the leak was successfully plugged and the rapidly falling river will, 1t IS believed, remove any further dan Fer.
 Col. J. E. Little, who has been on ms plantation closely watching the situation since the water began to rise, returned last night to his home. He says the levee in District No. l was never in danger, the water never rising to within four feet of the top.

ELLIS LIZZIE OUT
 NEAR MORRILTON MANY FARMS FLOODED
OVERFLOW CAUSES LOSS OF S3,000 IN FOODSTUFF TO
 ONE FARMER.

Morrilton, Feb 3.-The breaking of the Ellis levee, four miles south east of Morrilton, on the north side of the Arkansas river, Tuesday night, caused heavy loss. The water rush ing through a break 100 feet wide swept away large storage barn be- longing to R. R. Fiser, containing 2,000 bales of alfalfa, 1000 bushels of corn and farming implements. The loss is estimated at $3,000 The flood waters still are rushing through the break and there is some fear that the river may cut a new channel through an old roadbed.
 Another levee broke on the Henry James plantation, four miles from here, on the north side of the river, flooding 400 acres of alfalfa and 100 acres of wheat, which will be a total loss.
 At Martins ferry, on the south side of the river, six miles above Nor rilton, cotton gin, sawmill and pow CT plant at the foot of Petit Jean mountain, were swept away. The bank still is caving and it is feared that a large store also will fall into the river. The ferry boat was de- stroyed by driftwood.
 This news was brought back by a rural mail carrier, who took his mail sacks to Martins ferry on a barge. : Several empty barges from Darda- nelle and houseboat have been res cued from the river here.
 The river is falling slightly here.

DAMAGE TO FARM
 AS YET UNKNOWN
LOSS CERTAINLY GREAT
HAYS WIRES AP- PEAL TO UNITED STATES
 CONGRESS FOR AID.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-There is con siderable speculation as to the dam age that will be shown to have been done to the state convict farm, after the floods have receded. There is not a foot of land on the farm that is not under from five to fifteen feet of water. The river broke through the levee in five places and rushed across the farm with terrific force, sweeping everything before it.
 Among the losses known to have Leen sustained are all the buildings at the front camp, including the ad- ministration building, the commits sary and hospital, the stockade, and five residences of officials, all of which have gone down the river with the caving banks; 5000 pounds of meat, a carload of flour, carload of meal, about 5000 worth of hogs, and probably $10,000 worth of cot ton seed Nearly thousand bales of cotton are stored at middle camp and it is not known whether this will be saved or not.
 The administration building, or "the big house." was last spring 900 feet from the river, but over 600 feet of this was lost by the 1915 floods. i It is believed that a large part ot the farm land has been ruined by washing and drifting sand, and that fer plantation uses it will practical lv be valueuless. Engineers have also expressed an opinion that the river may force a new channel through the farm, into Cypress creek and thence into Bayou Bartholomew, providing a new course to the Ms sissippi

 Little Rock, Feb. 2.-Three hundred negro convicts were rescued this morning from the crumbling levees of the state farm at Cummins. They had been exposed to the severe cold, without protection, for 48 hours. All have been removed to places of safety on launches, except 200 at Lake View camp, which is under water.
 The entire convict farm is sub- merged and may be ruined.
 The river is falling everywhere from Little Rock upward, but in southeast Arkansas the floods are working great devastation. The towns of Gould, Douglas, Grady, Watson and Warner are inundated Two hundred citizens of Grady are cut off by water covering the town to a depth of three to 10 feet.
 The town Of McClelland is II feet under water and all the inhabitants have fled
 Flat boats are being used to rescue the people from the flooded farms and great suffering if not death will re- suit if there is further delay.

SUFFERERS ASK
 AID OF GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Feb. Ex-Governor Hays yesterday received request from Sheriff R. F. Milwee for tents to be used by the citizens of south eastern Monroe county, in the vicinity of Postelle, who have been driven out of their homes by the floods. There are many in great distress and help less.
 Under the regulations of the war department, the tents of the national guard cannot be sent out for any pur- pose unless accompanied by a de tachment of the guard, minimum of five men and one commissioned of fcer, whose expenses must be paid This would amount to about S9 day. Governor Hays is exerting every pos sible effort to provide relief for those who are calling for assistance.
 Reports from the state farm are that the marooned convicts are being removed as rapidly as possible with launches, but late yesterday over 200 of them were still huddled on the crumbling fragments of the levee awaiting rescue The condition was most distressing. The commission is doing it's utmost to meet it.
