HIGH WATER IN MANILA.


Manila, July 2o.--During the last two
days heavy rains have caused serious
floods along the north and south lines
of intrenchments occupied by the
American troops. AT Paranaque the
bridge has been washed away, thus cut
ting of communication with the forces
of Gen. Grant about Bacoor. The tele-
graph wires also are all down. The
men who are repairing the bridge are
working up to their armpits in water
and have sent an urgent request TO
Manila for boats to assist them in their
task. North of Manila the water is
running over the bed of the railroad
In various places, so that all trains have
been abandoned. The men on outpost
duty about the American lines at San
Fernando are being placed by means
of boats, except in some localities,
where the water Is shallow enough for
the soldiers 10 wade, carrying their
arms and ammunition above their
heads. The troops al San Fernando
are now supplied with provisions for
90 days, and the troops at Bacoor have
ten days provisions. II is expected
that fresh supplies can be sent TO them
before these are exhausted. Since the
rainy season set in the number of sick
soldiers arriving at the hospital is
measurably increased

PLAN A PLEASURE TRIP.
President and Mrs. Mckinley Expect
To Make "a Two Weeks visit TO
Lake Champlain.

Washington, July 20.-President and
Mrs. Mckinley will leave Washington
probably within week for a pleasure
trip, designed mainly for the benefit
of Mrs. McKinley's health. They will
go TO Lake Champlain, where the presi-
dent spent vacation two years ago.
and will be absent from Washington
for at least two weeks. On their way
back they may stop at Long Branch
and pay the promised visit TO Vice
President Hobart. Mrs. McKinley's
health does not improve as rapidly ms
was hoped and the president desires
to take her 20 some quiet spot. While
the president has not announced an
abandonment OF the projected western
trip. IL is now thought improbable that
he will get far west this year. He has
n positive engagement 20 visit Chicago
in October, but IL is said that Mrs Me
Kinley's health. unless there is great
improvement. would not permit of her
going on an extended trip.

THE BROOKLYN STRIKE
No Material Change in the street Car
Troubie-strIEs I'm CIeve-
land Resumed.

New York, July 1s.--1'he strike stu.
alton In Brooklyn remains unchanged.
The striking employees are even more
determined than they were Sunday,
and the management of the Rapid
Transit lines IL obdurate and un-
fiinching. Cars were run on most OF
the lines governed by the traction
company from early morning until
seven o'clock in the evening, but after
shutdown there was considerable fall
ing Off In the service, and by nine
o'clock not car was moving on any OF
the lines affected by the striking mo-
tormen or conductors. The roads COM
prising the Nassau system were most
effectively crippled. None OF the strik-
ing employees returned 10 work, and
most of them were busy during the day
influencing union and nonunion men
on the other lines TO quit work. In this
respect the strikers were partially sue
cessful, but they made no inroads on
therunning of the Putnam avenue cars.
This line is practically intact, not more
than half dozen Of its employees being
affiliated with the strikers. The Coney
Island Railroad company reaped rich
harvest on all of it's lines during the
day. The Franklin avenue, Smith and
jay street, Hamilton avenue and De-
lSalb avenue lines were running on full
time, and carried a great number OF
passengers throughout the day and
night.
The Coney Island company lived up
10 its agreement with the employees, and
consequently it's business was not in
terfered with in the slightest. In fact,
the business on these roads was con
siderably augmented, as many travellers
patronized the cars, although in many
cases going blocks out of their way TO
do so.
Cleveland, o., judy 1.-THE conduc-
tors and motormen of the Big CONSOLE
dated street railway system, who were
on u strike last month, went out again
at 1918 this (Monday) morning Eight
hundred men are affected. They claim
the company has not lived up 10 the
agreement made which ended the for
mer strike.

THE DREYFUS FORGERY.
Count Esterhazy Says the Famous
Dorderenu Was Written Upon
order of Col. sandherr.

Paris, July 1s.-The Matin publishes
a statement by Comtc Ferdinand Wal
sin Esterhazy in which he says that he
wrote the bordereau by order of Col.
Sandherr, and that il was sent 10 the
house of Col. SchwartzkoppcD, then
military attache at the German en-
bassy i'm Paris, whence il was returned
TO the war office. Col. Schwartzkoppen
being Mt that time in Berlin, never saw
the bordcreau, which was forged in or
der TO supply material proof of the
guilt of Dreyfus. The statement con-
tains the assertion that secret agents
i'm Berlin, whose testimony il was inn
possible TO use, had demonstrated that
leakages had occurred in the war Of
fee, and the fact that treason existed
was undeniable, and everything indi-
Gated Dreyfus as the traitor. All the
war ministers, the statement further
says, knew the facts, and thought the
forgery of the bordereau necessary.
The evidence duplicating Dreyfus were
the words of Col. Schwartzkoppen's
own mouth. Gems. MERCER, De Bos-
deffre and Come knew that the bor-
dereau was forged, and that Dreyfus
was illegally, but justly, convicted.
