Austin, Tex, June 10. The cloud
burst Of Wednesday which swelled the
rivers of this portion Of the state out
of their banks and caused great loss
of property, are much worse than first
reported. Many people are known to
have perislled, meager reports placing
the number at twenty-five.
Reports come from San Saba and
Manardville, small towns ninety miles
north Of here in the mountains. saying
that both towns had been swept by the
raging floods and were badly uevastat-
ed In San Saba eight persons were
drowned and the entire town is report
ed under water. The river at that
point is one mile wide and running like
mill-race. AT Manardville thirteen
houses were swept away and later sew
ernl more gave way to the swirling tor
rent and started OH their voyage down
the stream. The river is reported as
rising at both places, and grave fears
are entertained that the entire country
in that neighborhood will be lale to
waste. San Saba is located in val
ley and vast tracts of wheat fields are
under water These crops will prove
a total loss. Many persons, according
to reports, had di Guilty in getting to
high land before the rise came The
situation at Manardville is even more
serious. Being a small town located
to the right and in the bend of the
river in the valley, it proved an easy
prey to the raging torrents. Seventeen
persons are known to have been
drowned there and there may be 9th
ers. The town has been laid to waste
by the floods and all the surrounding
country is inundated.

SAl9skaA Boundary Matter IL About
Washington, June 10. When the
state department closed for the day it
was with the expectation on the part
OF the officials that the modus vivendi
which has been under negotiation In
London would be completed an signed
to-day. The signature probably will
take place in London as between Am
bassador Choate and Lord Salisbury,
unle SIS the programme is changed over
night.
Assuming that the agreement is on
the exact lines of the instructions sent
the modus will fix the provisional boun-
dairy line between Alaska and Canada
at three points near the head Of the
Linn canal. These will be sufficient, it
is said. to prevent any further con-
fiicts. These points are as follows: On
the White pass, at the old Canadian
custom house in the pass; on the Chill
koot pass, likewise at the Canadian
custom house, which has existed for
the past eighteen months; OH the Dali
ton trail, just above the Indian village
Of Kulwun. The first two points were
been over the location of the divisional
named is at the. head of Canoe navi-
cation and fifteen miles above tide
water, which the Canadians sought So
strc1Iuously to reach. The modus pro.
videds only for a temporary delimita-
ton, but there is good reason to believe
that the lines it will establish in the
end will be accepted by both parties as
the best possible solution of the veXed
boundary issue.
London, June 9-1t is learned by the
Associated Press that the United
States ambassador, Joseph HI. Choate,
is hourly expecting the consent of the
authorities at Washington to q compro-
mise arrangement of the Alaskan Ques-
ton on the lines of a prospective set
Element and for carrying on the discus.
sion in the high commission. While
yielding in certain matters it is I'M
derstood Mr.. Choate has been able to
effect an arrangement satisfactory to
the United States. He has been large
ly helped by the reasonable attitude
assumed by the Canadians during the
past week. The Canadian high COM
nissioners, Lord Strathcona and the
secretary of state for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain, and the Marquis of Sal
isbury, are agreed on the lines of the
compromise.
The Exchange Telegraph company
says it understands the Marquis OF
Salisbury and the United States am.

regarding the Dalton trail on the Chin.

When a man born in foreign coun-
try desires to be naturalized in the
United States, he must forswear al
1egiance to the prince, potentate, state
or sovereignty" under whose govern
ment his birth took place. With GU
bans coming to the United States it is
difficult to see what sovereignty they
should renounce. Certainly 1t is not
the Spanish, for the king of Spain now
has nothing to do with Cuba. 1t is
not the republic of Cuba. for Cuba has
no recognized government. 1t is hard
" the United States, for candidate
could not forswear allegiance to this
government and in the same breath
swear everlasting fealty to it. When
this question recently came up in a
Minnesota court, the Judge decided
that as King Alphonso was the last
sovereign who held Cuba as posses
sion II the candidate would forswear
allegiance to him the naturalization
might proceed.

Pro. Cervello for treatment Jan. 18th,
and last Saturday the following re-

patients were perfectly cured. nine
were almost cured, five showed great
improvement in their condition and
two had died. Prof. Cervello presented
the ten cured patients to the Academy

from Ensenada from the new placers.
The reports received from practical
people do not justify rush Of tender

is that from S. to $40 per day can be
taken out.

The United States government is
engaged in the dissemination of a
vast amount Of valuable information
regarding the policy pursued by the
British government in the manage
ment OF its colonial possessions. 1t
is curious to observe that all that has
been published in this way has been
in response to questions put by the
people to high officials, which shows
that there is general and deep inter-
est among the citizens of this country
upon the subject. Closer investiga-
ton shows, however, that nearly all
such inquiries come from Industrious
British subjects temporarily residing
in this country.
