Special,


WACO, TEX, May 29.-The Brazos
river at this point commenced falling
last night and has now gone down
four feet. This, however, affords very
little relief to the inundated territory.
Nearly as many houses are submerged
as yesterday.
kilograms from the headwaters of
the river report another rise coming
which will be here tonight, but il Is
hoped that II will not do much addi-
tional damage.
Adequate measures of relief have
been taken for all the sufferers. The
people are responding literally to the
call.
One additional death by drowning is
reported west of the city, negro man
whose name could not be aecertained.
The estimates OF the damage to
city property made last night prove to
be too small. Fifty thousand dollars
will not cover the losses.
The Missouri Pacific road is running
trains to-day but has to transfer the
passengers and mails and ferry them
some distance. No other road Is

Is seriously damaged but is now con-
sidered safe.

priated $4,000 to repair the damages to
the streets, bridges and culverts. By
Tomorrow evening, unless the river
