Tie Prevents the Further Publication
of q Fake Interview.
San Francisco, July 5.-The steamer
Coptic brings the following advices
from Singapore relative to the alleged
promises of United States Consul Pratt
regarding Filipino independence:
Mr.. Pratt has taken legal action to
disprove the alleged interview in which
he was said to have promised the Phil
ippine leaders independence II they
would help the United Staten against
Spain. The story is published In most
circumstantial and detailed form in the
new edition Of John Foreman's book
on the Philippines. one of the best
known and widely read books about
the country Foreman recently issued
a revised and enlarged edition, this
interview, being among the new feat
ures Of the book.
Consul Pratt has sued the publishers
In Singapore for libel on the ground
that the story of the AgufnGldo Pratt
interview is false, and is moreover in
furious. The supreme court of the
straits settlements has granted an in
junction against the publishers. The
court finds that the story Of the inter-
view Is false and libelous and the fur
ther publishing therefore is prohibited
by order of the court.
Consul Pratt intends to carry his
suits to the United States. He will
bring action against number Of pa
pers of the United States, and will en-
deavor to show that the kilograms pub
lished in the same were the output Of
an anti-American bureau existing in
Hong Kong.

TEXAS TOWNS IN PERIL
An Alarming Condition Of Affairs at
80. Dewey and Brookshire.
FOUR HUNDRED LIVES IN DANGER

Rapidly Rising Waters Have Impris-
oned Them on an Island. and 1t Is
Feared They WIN Be Washed Away
Ere succor Arrives.
Dallas, July 5.-Another flood dis
aster. which, from the first bulletin
received here, appears to be worse
than that at Calvert on Friday and
Saturday last, occurred yesterday in
the Brasos valley, about 100 miles
down the river from Calvert. Reports
say that the large steel bridge Of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
at Dewey Station, near the crossing of
the BrasOs river. is gone. The river in
that section began rising suddenly on
Monday and today Is six feet higher
than ever before known. Immense
drifts of houses, trees, fenses, etc., are
floating past Sealey and Dewey.
Alarming reports are coming from
LAGRANGE and Sealey of loss of life
in the vicinity of Brookshore. Hous-
ton has been appealed to for help, and
Mayor Brashear of that city has is
sued proclamation calling for men
and boats to rescue those in danger.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
road Is sending out relief trains from
Houston, Lagrange and other points.
Telegraphic communication with the
new flooded districts has been entirely
cut off. Chief Lineman Lowry, of the
Postal Telegraph company, last night
made the following statement over the
long distance telephone from Sealey,
250 miles south Of Dallas.
"The Brasos river here Is more
than five miles wide, and the waters
are lashing furiousiy. All character Of
floatable property is rushing along
with the current On this side Of the
river lat Sealey) there is as yet little
danger, but on the other side dewey
and Brookshire) the conditions are
terrible. Brookshire is 13 miles from
Sealey and 81 miles from Houston We
cannot get from the Sealey side to
Dewey and Brookshire side, and as
our wires are all gone on that side, we
at Brookshire.
II reached Sealey tonight in a small
boat, after spending last night on an
island four miles from here. The big
bridge Of the Missouri, Kansas ard
Texas railroad at Dewey is ruined. 1t
is covered with water and the center
span is six inches out of line. The
entire structure is likely to. go at any
minute. Four miles of Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas tracks are gone on the
Dewey side and about a mile on the
Sealey side has been washed away.
"If boats and special trains from
Houston or other points have not yet
reached Brookshire they are too late
The people, fear. will be drowned
before they can be reached. This af-
ternoon there were from 800 to 400
persons on small island near Brook
shire and the water was rising rapidly.
fear they are drowned by this time,
as they had not the slightest means
Of escape.
"The river here tonight is six feet
higher than in 1885, which was the
record up to the present. The damage
to property is enormous"
