freedom of the towns in which they
lived.
The Presdente Local and other local
officials are native Philippines. Most
of them have received a certain amount
of education at religious schools in
Manila. They are intelligent men and
are extremely eager to learn news from
the outside world. Their knowledge of
modern history and geography is ex-

current events is surprising. We

THE PARIS BADLY DAMAGED.
Many Holes in Bottom and the Ship Will
Probably Not Be Saved.

Falmouth. Eng, May 23.-The steam
or Paris is lying on the rocks since be-
ing lightened. The divers report that
her bottom is badly damaged, and it is
feared the vessel cannot be fioated.
One diver reported. late. today, that
the Paris has sustained heavy damages
from her bow to point 20 feet aft. but
he thinks the principal damage is in-
side the double bottem.
\ leading Cornish diver who return
cd here, tonight, from the Paris. takes
very pessimistic view of the pros
poets of saving the liner. To the cor
respondent Of The Associated Press, he
said:
II do not anticipate that the Paris
will ever be iioated. She is pierced by
rocks amidships. her fore holds are
badly damaged; the bulkheads area
practically useless, and. even if she
were got OFF the rocks | believe she
would sink. In my opinion the only
remedy is a false bottom which It
would take a month 10 complete and
believe that even moderately rough
water in the meantime would break
up the ship"
Everything is in readiness for to-
morr1w's effort to rc-float the vessel If
the weather continues favorable.
