COLUMBIA FINISHES FIRST.
Handicapped In Her Race With Defende,
by Badly Eittine Sails

Handicapped In Her Race With Defender
by Badly Fitting Sails.
New YORK, July by the race be-
tween the new defender Columbia and
the cid Defender, sailed yesterday over
triangular course Of 80 miles, ten
miles to leg, it has been plainly dem
onstrated that no matter how skillfully
constructed yacht may be her sailing
and ability to go to windward may be
killed by imperfectly setting sails. The
Columbia won the race by margin of
$3.50. There is no doubt she would have
won by a larger margin if her sails
had fitted as well as the Defenders. In
the windward work, while the wind
was strong, +he Columbia was unable to
outfoot or II outpoint the Defender,
chiefly on account of the bad set Of her
sails. She covered the first leg of ten
miles to windward three minutes faster
than lie Defender, but one minute of
that gain was made when the wind was
light. On the second leg the Columbia
gained 5S seconds. 1t was reach, both
yachts carrying large jib topsails. On
the last leg, close hauled in a light
breeze. she lost five seconds to the De-
fender

NEGOTIATING FOR PEACE.

Friendly Fflipjnos Are Bearers of Mes
sages Between Americans and Rebels.
MANILA, July 6 (via Hong Kong,
July l0.)-Friendly Nipinos in Manila
have been the medium of communica-
ton between the American authorities
and the military leaders Of the insurrec-
ton i'll the Cavite province, which for
some time resulted in bringing over a
prominent general and several hundred
OF his followers. If the negotiations
had succeeded the action would have
had great moral effect, for others would
doubtless have followed. Were the
generals name given it might lead, in
his case, to a similar fate as that of
others suspected of friendliness to the
Americans
He had foreseen the failure of the in
and advised Aguinaldo to
make terms, but it is understood that
he has sent word to the Americans that
having sworn to support the insurrec-
ton he must remain loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations it is said are under
consideration by a member of the cab
met OF the so-called Filipino government,
who himself took the initiative. Some
form of money consideration figured in
the discussions with his friends

LOSS OF LIFE IN TEXAS LESS THAN
EARLY ESTIMATES.

Aid for Those Left Homeless Along Brazos
River-Twenty Thousand Negroes Are
Being Fed-Property Loss Is Now Esti-
mated at Ss.5OO,OOO.
GALVESTON, July 1O.--Relief work in
the Brazos flooded district las been sys-
temized, three relief trains having left
Houston, Galveston and San Antonio
daily. Probably 10000 negroes are be-
ing fed now and will need to be sus-
tained for some time by the relief COM
mittees. The water is falling at all
points except in Brazoria county. All
sorts OF estimates are made as to the
amount Of the cotton loss. An estimate
OF 30 per cent is considered conservative.
This will be a money loss of $1,000, 900.
The money loss sustained by the de-
struction Of other crops, fencing, stock
and bridges will be So, 500, 900, while the
loss to the railroads is probably 81, ,OOO,-
600, making total of $s,5OO,OOO.
Reports received from 13 counties
show loss Of 81 lives from drowning.
Reports from Sealey state that white
woman and negro woman died there
yesterday from the heat and exposure.
There are 500 negroes at Sealey at the
point of starvation. Rations will be
sent by the first train.
Intense suffering is said to exist at

Havoc Wrought by Flood.

ANGLEToN, Tex, July 10.-All the
streets of this town are under two or
three feet of water. Very few lives
have been lost in this vicinity, but the
losses of live stock and crops will be
heavy. Cattle along the Bastrop have
been drowned by the thousands. The
destruction in Oyster creek valley is alb
solutely complete. Negroes cabins
have been washed away by the dozens
and the poor blacks are absolutely penni-
less, homeless ard hungry. The Brazos
now extends from Caney, in Matagorda
county, on the west to Chocolate on the
east, distance of 30 miles, and has car
ried complete destruction and desola-
ton with it. Absolutely nothing is left
which was touched by the flood.

PARIS rs FLOATED,
GROUNDED AMERICAN LINERlscLEkR
OF THE ROCKS.

The Liner Still Has Distinct List to Star,
board and Cannot BE Assured to Be Out
of Danger-A Fog and a Calm Sea the
Weather Conditions.
LONDON, July l2.-The salvagers have
moved the American liner Paris astern
100 yards and have shifted the vessels
position slightly to the eastward. They
hope to be able to get the after stoke
hold fires alight. The Paris is now clear
OF the rocks. The sea is smooth, but
heavy fog prevails. Three salvage boats
alone practically removed her from a
critical position unaided She still has
a distinct list to the starboard, and car
not be assumed out of danger.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating the
Paris. She has been weighted with
nearly 1000 tons of granite at her stern,
with view of hoisting her bow from
the rocks. Divers had difficulty in get
ting at the rock, and this was the reason
for the attempt to move her. Unless
something unforeseen occurs the Paris
will be towed to Falmouth today, and if
on inspection her condition warrants
she will be taken to Southampton or
other dock for repairs.

SUFFER GREAT DISCOMFORT
American Soldiers at Manila Surrounded
With Water.

American Soldiers at Manila Surrounded
With Water.
MANILA, July 10.-It has been rain
ing and storming almost constantly for
two days and the country along the
American south and bay lines is liter
ally flooded. The soldiers are suffering
great discomfort. The Thirteenth in
fantry regiment at Pasay is in the worst
position, being practically surrounded
by water. The bridges that We're used
for getting supplies have been washed
away and some Of the companies are
now separated by streams six feet deep.
In many cases the men are sleeping with
three feet Of water beneath their hunks,
which are elevated on cracker boxes.
The company cooks, when preparing
the meals, stand knee deep in water.
Some Of the roads leading to Pasay are
simply impossible aud the rice fields on
all sides are one great lake. A high
wind blew over several tents Of the
reserve hospital
Mania bay is impossible of navigation
by either launches or canoes and no YES
sells are leaving the harbor. The United
States transport Centennial is ready to
sail for San Francisco with discharged
soldiers, but the latter have to sit
around the water front all day drenched
to tie skin waiting for launch to take
them to the steamer
The river Pasig and all the other
streams are swollen and the city streets
at low points are covered with water.

THE OPPOSITION AND GEN.
HARTwELL.

The suggestion is made that the OPP
position in condemnlng the selection of
Hartwel as a special agent to the
Washington Government is raising a
complication that may be injurious to
, the welfare of Hawaii as a whole.
The Opposition is willing to accept "a
good deal from the local Executive,
ready to join its forces with the EXecu-
tive in order to secure business ad-
ministration. and to second honest en-
deavor to secure territorial rule as
against colonial or the continuation Of
the present anomaly. But It cannot
accept Hartweli, nor do we believe that
President Dole will gain favor in the
eyes of the President or the American
people by endorsing any man with
Hartwells war record. We have yet
to learn that the American people place
a high estimate upon any man who
sought, by word and action, to cripple
the war power Of the United States
when the nation was engaged In war
fare that created Hawaii one Of the
critical vantage points.
Hartwell during the Spanish Ameri-
can war was untrue to the first tenets
of patriotic American principle. Is
there any reason why he should now
as requested, ba'put upon pedestal OF
patriotic integrity and worshipped?
What conclusion would the people OF
the United States draw should the
President select Senator HOar, or the
far famed Atkinson for a private mis-
sion?
Tho statement comes to the Bulletin
direct from local governmental
source that Capt. Nichols of the Ben
nington placed in the hands of the
President an affidavit of Hartwell's neu
trality campaign at the opening Of the
war. We know that this was not done
mt the solicitation Of any member OF
the Opposition or any official in Ho-
nolulu. President Mckinley Is bolind
10 accept any man whom Mr.. Dole con-
siders proper agent" but we do not
believe that the people of Hawaii will
gain prestige with the President or with
Congress by allowing the inferencet to be
drawn that any large number of Ha-
waiian citizens are prepared to view
with Indifference the policy for which
Hartwell stood in the day of the ma
tons peril
