SOFT-SOAPED THE OFFICERS. How ltuncour O'Urlen Managed to ICseape at Havre. ,Pnist May J6 It Jtppean that, by lnstruotions from Washington, the Sec retary of the British Legation addressed to the .French authorities a request for the arrest of O'Brien on the arrival of the Marseille from New Orleans. After nrresttng O'Brien, and when they had him In safe custody, the Havre po lice complied with his request to be al. lowed to take a walk about the city guarded by two gendarmes, O'Brien looked so meek and submis sive, and at the same time apparently so desirous of causing as little trouble as possible, that the police thought there would be no danger. So the gendarmes were told to take him aronnd and show him the sights, but not to let him beyond arms length, and to use their weapons promptly Bhould he try to escape. The gendarmeB have hardly sufficiently recoverod yet to tell exactly how It happened. O'Brien could speak hardly any French, but it seems he won their good will by admiring everything he saw, and utter ing exclamations of delight over France and French. The women were all handsome, the soldiers all brave, the police were fine, so ha exolalmed, and ho won their hearts completely when ho declared with a shrug of disgust that the Germans were all "cochons" (pigs). When O'Brien, therefore, wanted to rest in a cafe, the gendarmes were cor dially willing, and they were also will ing to share the wine for which he paid liberally. When O'Urlen had occasion to retire for a few momenta they were too polite, if not too comatose, to watoh him closely, and they wore very much surprised when the admirer of France failed to roturu. He has not made his appearance again, although his late guardians profess great anxiety to see him. The authorities are not sat isfied with the circumstances of the es-. cape, and a rigid inquiry has been insti tuted. London, May 25. The police have positive Information that O'Brien started for England on the steamer Ebre, and thev beliove that he must have eluded Inspector Roberts and Sargeant Now land, who boarded the Ebre off Graves end to arrest him. The police are searching London. Inspector Frank Forest, who previously arrested O'Brien, has gone back to France, believing that O'Brien has gone or is going to Beau deaux, with the intention of sailing for South America. MORE RAIN COMING. The AVeatlier Predictions Fill Dwellers In the Mississippi Valley With Dreud, Memphis, Tenn., May 25. Pemiscot county is n scene of desolation. Three fourths ot the county Is now under water, and assistance Is urgently needed at several points In the county between Reel Foot Lake and Faraguld, on the Arkansas side. Three families have also been drowned. Large numbers of horses, mules and cattle have been drowned. It is said there are 225,000 acres of wheat destroyed, 830,000 acres of corn ruined and nearly 200,000 acres of cot ton Inundated. The waters continue to rise. The Arkansas bottoms are all un der water and the number of lives lost and amount of property destroyed oan notbe estimated, because no boats have gone Into the flooded districts. The United States weather observers' indication of more rain falling over the Missouri and uppor Mississippi valleys continues to nil tho people of the sub merged region with dread, especially as it is assarted that the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, Wabash, Red and Mississippi rivers will continue to rise, Along the Arkansas, Missouri and Savannah river valleys there is a prospect that waters will fall, although tho gauge is Btill high. Mariana, Ark., May 25. The most appalling reports are received from the lowlands of St Francis and White River. Ten thousand people are home less and In Berious danger of starving.
