The arrival of the auxiliary cruiser Bad

change in affairs here. The commission
lost no time, but went to work imme-
diately, electing Mr.. Tripp chairman and
Mr.. Morgan secretary. The commission

and then with Mataafa. Tanu was not
at first recognized as king by the COM

agreed to give up their arms and stated
that they were prepared to accept any
formal government the commission might
recommend, even if the kingship was
abolished. The following day Mataafa

Traffic Practically Suspended.
HOUSTON, Tex, June 30.-The heavy
rains of the past few days in Texas have
done damage that will amount into tha
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Rail-
way traffic is practically suspended be-
cause bridges and tracks are gone. Every
stream in this section of the state is
about high water mark, and the angry
waters have destroyed thousands of acres
of cotton, corn and cane, besides houses
and cattle.
At Silvert the rise was so sudden that
when the water went through the town
several negroes were drowned, and five
bodies have been recovered. 1t is rumored
that many farmers, white and coIored,
living in the BraZOs bottoms, have been
drowned, but neither names nor reliable
particulars are yet Obtainable
The Big and Little Brazos rivers have
joined at Navasota, where they are ordf-
narily three miles apart, and the whole
country, mostly cotton and corn land, 10
ruined. 1t is reliably stated that one
family of six persons perished The loss
in cotton and corn alone will reach $,-
900, 900, while another $1,0OO,O00 will not
cover the loss to railroads and other

that the guns would either be returned
