PREVENTION OF WAR.
Peace Conference Amends the Arbitra-
tion Scheme.


The Hague, July l0.-The third
committee sitting this morning dis
cussed the scheme for mediation and
arbitration drawn up by Count Dexa-
men. The reporter of the committee
explained lengthily the motives which
inspired the drafting committee in
celebrating the scheme. M. Bourgeois,
head of the French delegation, thanked
the reporter in warm terms and con.
graduated him upon his remarkable
exposition. The sitting was then ad-
journed until July II.
During the discussion, the plenary
committee amended article 8, SO as to
provide that when powers between
whom there is a serious dispute accept
the mediation they cease all relations
in regard to the disputed question,
which shall be considered as exclusive
ly referred to the mediatory powers.
Three additional paragraphs regard
ing the permanent court were also
adopted at the request of President
zYIn, of the German delegation, Count
Nigra, head of the Italian delegation
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, head OF the
British delegation.

SPANISH PRISONERS.
Filipinos Release the Garrison of Baler
Resisted "a Siege for "a Year.

Filipinos Release the Garrison OF Baler
Resisted Siege for Year.
Manila, July 8.-The Spanish COM
missioners who went to Tarlac for a
conference regarding the surrender of
the Spanish prisoners in the hands of
the Filipinos, returned here last night.
Chairman del Rio, of the commission.
said the release of all the prisoners had
been arranged for.
The commissioners, with the remnant
of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on
the east coast of Luzon, and a number
OF civilian prisoners, were escorted bv
Filipino soldiers from Tarlac to the
American outposts at San Fernando,
and came to Manila by the night train.
The heroes of the long defense of
Baler, where the SpanaIds resisted an
insurgent siege of more than a years
duration, formed a picturesque band.
Lieutenant Martin. the only surviving
officer, marched them through the
streets. There are only 20, and the
most of them are mere boys in faded
blue cotton uniforms and red shirts.
They are barefooted. A crowd of Span
ish men and women embraced them,
weeping and shouting their praises.
They tell remarkable story. It
sppears that the captain several times
proposed to surrender. but the soldiers
refused. Finally. some months ago,
he tried to raise white flag. There
upon, Lieutenant Martin killed him
with his own sword. Their food sup
ply gave out entirely week ago, and
they surrendered to the Filipinos with
all the honors of war. They were al
lowed to keep their arms, and they
marched from Baler with Filipino es.
corts and carried their guns, through
several insurgent camps. everywhere
being cheered and feted.

BRAZOS RIVER FALLING.
Situation in the Flooded District Is I'M
proving.


Galveston, Tex, July 1O.-The situ-
alton in the Brazos valley is rapidly
improving. The river is falling.
There is an unconfrmed rumor that five
lives were lost near Sartarrtia, in Fort
Bend county. The report sent out
Wednesday from Brookshire, Waller
county, that two lives were lost there,
now appears to have been an error.
Those who were supposed to have
drowned persist in making their reap
pearance. Relief committees are now
well organized.
At Blookshi1e, the relief committee
have opened mnissary and issue a
half ration per capita. They have
taken precautions SO that only the de-
serving shall get these rations, and,
therefore, they issue to the planter for
all the tenants he had when the food
came. Those who own their farms and
lost everything. as is the case with
most of them. are allowed to draw their
rations direct.

But, in the main, the United States is
plainly given strip of territory, north
of Portland canal, or thereabouts, 10
marine leagues inland, except where
well-defined mountain range places the
boundary nearer the coast. This strip
runs up to Mount St. Elias. Many
contend at the passes that the water.
shed back of Skagway and Dyea is the
dividing line. On the one side are the
headwaters of the Yukon, and on the
other the streams flowing into Lynn
canal are formed. Between these two
districts there is chain OF mountains,
thus, in the opinion of some, bringing
the boundary line some 18 miles nearer
the coast. This seems to be fair ex.
preston of the American view of the
boundary question. By this construC.
tion of the treaty it is held that Eng.
land will receive the benefit of every
point that can be fairly and honestly
granted.
ION the other hand, however, the
Canadians and many Englishmen hold
that the boundary should be drawn 80
miles, or 10 marine leagues, inland
from the headlands. By such a construC-
tion, of course, Lynn canal would be an
inlet into Canadian territory, and 10
marine leagues inland from the head
lands at the entrance would he many
miles south of Skagway and Dyea. and
hence Canada and England would have
the coveted port of entry without
question of doubt. AS look upon it,
personally, Lynn canal is part of the
sea or ocean. Therefore, it would be
unfair to draw line 80 miles inland
from the headlands at the entrance to
bodies of water of that nature, and call
1t the boundary under the treaty."

soon after the journey began. Martin

THE BRAZOS FLOOD.
Loss to Property Reaches a Total Of
$S,5OO,OOO.


Galveston, Tex, July 11.-Relief
work in the Brazos flooded district
has been systematic, three relief trains
leaving Houston, Galveston and San
Antonio daily. Probably 10000 me-
gioes are now being fed, and will need
to be sustained for some time by the
relief committees. The water is fall
ing at all points, except in Bra9oria
county.
All sorts OF estimates are made as to
the amount of the cotton loss. An es-
innate of 90 per cent is considered con-
servative. This will be a money loss
OF so, 600, 600. The loss sustained by
the destruction OF other crops, houses,
fencing, stock and bridges will be
", 500, 900, while the loss to the rail-
roads is probably 81 900, 900, making
a total of $S, 500, OOU.
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the loss of life in the
recent floods, the News has made
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from
10 counties show loss of 81 lives from
drowning. Negroes supposed to have
oeeh drowned continue to appear and
want to be fed.
Reports from Selay state that
white woman and negro woman died
