THE FLOODS IN TEXAS.


Property Loss Enormous, But Loss Of
Life Exaggerated.
Galveston, July 7.-At Sunnyside, IL
miles from Brookshire, the Brazos
river is ordinarily 200 yards wide.
About parallel with this, and two and
half miles away, is Elm creek, which
is seldom over 30 feet wide and In mid
summer often dry. The two streams
are now united, making q river be-
tween five and six miles wide and from
GO to 70 feet deep. Along the currents
10 people were rescued Wednesday in
skiff sent from Houston. The people
were demolishing their sheds and out
houses and making boxes that they
used for boats. Cattle were found rest
ing their heads in the boughs of trees,
making a pitiabe struggle for exist
ence. At one point two houses We're
seen coming down the stream. In one
of them was man and two women
and on the other woman and five
children were clinging for life and
calling for help. One of these was
fine two story affair and the other was
smaller dwelling. They passed on
with the foaming current and may
have struck an obstruction and been
smashed to pieces or found their way
into the gulf.
Reports from special correspondents
indicate that, while the property loss
by the recent floods has been enor-
nous, the loss of life has been greatly
exaggerated. According to The News
only two lives have been lost in the
Lower BRACES food 1t is believed
there is now food enough in transit to
feed the negroes until the waters re-
Cede and they can return to work.

Manila, July 1.-The Spanish com-
missioners who went TO Tarlac for Q
conference with Aguinaldo 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 practically ar
ranged for, but It would be necessary
to consult the Spanish government be-
fore the agreement could be ratified.
He declined to give the terms Of the
arrangement, or to say whether these
contemplated ransom. He asserted.
however, that Aguinaldo had already
issued decree for the release Of the
civilian officials and the sick soldiers.
The commissioners, with the REM
nant Of the Spanish garrison Of Baler,
on the east coast of Luzon, and a num-
Der of civilian prisoners, were escorted
by 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 Spaniards resisted an
insurgent siege for more than year,
formed picturesque band, Lieuten.
ant Marian, the only surviving officer,
marched them through the streets.
There are only %, and most of them
are mere boys, in E.ded blue cotton
uniforms and red shirts. They are
barefooted. A crowd Of Spanish men
and women embraced them, weeping
and shouting their praises.
They tell a remarkable story. It
appears 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 supply gave out entirely
week ago, and they surrendered to
the Filipinos with all the honors of
war. They were allowed to keep their
arms, and they say they marched from
Baler, with Filipino escort, and car
rying guns, through insurgent camps,
everywhere being cheered and feted.

GOMEZ AS DICTATOR.


Alleged Plot to Overthrow the Gov.
ernInent of San Domingo.
Havana, July Eel Reconcentrado
publishes sensational story accusing
General Maxine Gomez of plotting to
overthrow the government of San
Domingo. 1t says:
Having abandoned the hope of be-
coming the head of the Cuban republic
and unwilling to emulate the example
of those patriots who, in similar con-
ditions, have thrust aside personal in
terests and retired to private life,
Gomez is comforting with disconnected
Dominicans, among whom is General
Bautista, who is now in Havana, with
view of organizing an expedition
composed of former American and Gu
ban soldiers to attack San Domingo,
kill President HeureauX and proclaim
Gomez dictator. We are informed that
Gomez, though an old man, is of in
tinitely more value than all the Domi-
mean generals put together"

this story is generally discredited
