C Cuban Masons. The decree of the Spanish gov ernment, promulgated through the Captain General of Cuba, which decree closed all the Masonic Lodges in that unfortunate coun try, has raised some interesting questions as to the status of Cu ban Masons who may desire to identify themselves with lodges in their countries. Our Cuban brethren cannot get demits from their lodges, nor certificates of standing. The Grand Lodge of Florida recommends that where it is impossible to procure certifi cates attested by the Grand Secre tary, that some other meaus of verification be made through the witness of well known Cuban Ma sons who may be sojourning in the United States Masonry is world wide.—Tidings frera the Craft. i viidow, was sent for,—the young men having raised funds sufficient to defray the expenses of her trip —and arrived Saturday morning.

There has been a great deal of sickness in this section; but now, I am glad to say, health conditions are improving. ary, but rises at points above aud below show that the steady gauge was caused by levee breaks at Hopefield and St. Francis in Ar kansas. South of Helena to Chi cot, there is scarcely any more effort made to save the levees. At Modoc the break is now nearly a mile wide. The levees in Mississippi are older, higher and better aligned to resist the torrent than those on the west bank of the river, and the area under water is much less- The worst break is below Friar’s Point, but cross levees restrict the overflow. A dispatch from Green ville, Miss., says the Sunflower i river is as wide and full of water as the Mississippi at ordinary' stages and that the sluggish Yazoo river is now a raging torrent.
