Serious Complications Arise From The Absorbing Political Issue. Santiago, April 0. -The bad feeling re sulting from the recent disorganization of the electoral committee of Santiago, when it was demonstrated that the mam political iHsue in this province will be whether the whites or the blacks shall rule was the cause of the publication last night by theCubano Libre, the recojrnized organ of the negroes,' of a scurrilous article against the civil government. This morning Alcalde Pedro Gulnan, on the authority of Governor-General Wood, arrested the entire staff of the paper, numbering five men, and locked them up. The article, which appeared under the caption of ''The Official Sewer," con demns at length all Cubans who bold offices undef Jlted. . Wood. The terms em ployed are filthy .beyond the comprehen sion ;of Americans The mildest expres sion are "hypocrite" and "bootlickers" and ; "canaille.' 'The article was aimed especially at ;fGcrrCastillO, ' the Alcalde and tneir officers. The importance of the affair lies in its indication that the present disagreement of tne Uubans have ajreadv begun in this province with the inevitable serious con flict between the Whites and the blacks. The negroes held an indignation meeting this afternoon at the Maceo club and the speakers declared that the issue between the races means war to the knife. Tele grams were sent to Gens.

The flood is not unlike the disastrous Johns town flood some years .ago, - m that a raging river, already swollen far beyond its capacity, bore too heavily upon an immense dam spanning the river here, breaking it and letting loose reservoir of water 30 miles long, half a mile wide and sixtv feet deeD. to aid in carrying de- v , 2 W V struction down the vaueyft oij tlie x, Voio rado river. -- f -i The great dam in the Colorado river gave way at noon today from the enor mous pressure oi water and debris and with a roar and crash swept the valleys below the city, wrecking the: immense light and power plant and drowning eight workmen, , t Last Wednesday night i began to rain very bard at this place, the storm ex tending north of here along ; the water- Sh- ds of the ttolorado river, iThe precipi A Happy Marriage.
