PUBLIC PACIFIED.

Belgian Government Submits n Plan Sat.
isfuctory to the Opposition.
BRUSSELS, July 6.-In the chamber of
deputies NJ. Vandenperebom, at the
opening Of the session, reiterated the
governments strong desire to affect a
conciliation and pacify the public mind.
He continued:
"The government considers there is
ground for entertaining the counter
electoral proposals suggested by various
members and submitting them to a
committee on which all parties will be
represented. The government, in the
meanwhile, is prepared to consider the
necessary steps to accomplish the de-
sired understanding"
NJ. Wander Velde, Socialist, on behalf
of the two parties of Leftists, supported
the ministerial proposal, which he de-
clared was equivalent to the withdrawal
of the government scheme. The coun.
try, he continued, has thus achieved a
signal victory and is convinced that the
only solution of the existing party diff
ferences is an appeal to the country,
either through an early election, disso-
luton or a referendum.
At large meeting held in the Fallo-
mond the speakers exhorted the popu.
lace to continue the fight for universal
suffrage. A number Of civic guards
entered with arms reversed. One of
them said:
1--WE have ten cartridges; too many
for seven ministers"

RELEASE OF PRISONERS.

Spanish Negotiations With Aguinaldo
Reach Partial Agreement.
MANILA, July 6.-The negotiations
between the Spanish officers and Agui.
naldo at Tarlac concerning the Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos
have resulted in a partial agreement.
According to unofficial reports the in.
surgents have promised to release the
sick soldiers who number several
hundred and the civil officials, but they
intend to keep the friars, expecting that
the church will finally pay a heav:
ransom.
It is reported that the civilian prison
ers are being concentrated at Tarlac
and Aparri, as well as some of the
other ports recently opened, from which
they could be shipped to Manila. The
Spaniards assert that the Filipinos are
impressing all the military prisoners
into engineering, hospital and clerical
work.

Disaster So Appalling That Ade-
quate Description Is I'm
possible.
Brazos River Country One Vast
Lake for Hundreds Of
Miles.
Loss of Life Estimated From
One Hundred to Three
Hundred.

HOUSTON, Tex, July GA CORE.
spondent has just returned from voy-
age through the flooded distr lets. The
disaster is so appalling that description
is not possible. After this flood will
come sickness, undoubtedly, and what
q week ago was the fairest part of Texas
is now almost God-forsak ken wilder
ness. The waters Of the Brazos have
for six days covered it's valley to a
depth of from 6 to 80 feet. Where
week ago there were on every hand
fields of cotton and corn and thousands
Of acres of watermelons and cantaloupes,
there is Shiny mud over all the vegeta-
ton. When the water subsidies there
will be found the carcasses Of cows,
mules, pigs, dogs and cats, mayhap hui
mans, for many are missing. Our party
left Bryan at sunrise, going to Nava-
sofa bottoms and to point about three
miles from Nlillican. Here we en-
countered everywhere an overflow from
the Navasota, which spread out fully
two miles ON either side of the Houston
and Texas Central track.
Like a Vast Lake.
Everything is under water, from 2 to
II feet. It looked on all sides like a
great lake, and the water was so high
that for vast area it completely sub
merged the telegraph and telephone
poles along the line. In truth, portions
of the Navasota bottoms are even now
perfect sea, extending four or FIVE
miles wide at certain points. I saw
hundreds of houses there totally SUBJ
merged and as many more were swept
from their foundations and destroyed.
The planters of the bottoms are still
moving their help, and whatever is left
of their stock, to places where they can
be cared for. They are all nobly help
ing each other and seeking refuge
wherever they can; some seeking safety
on housetops.
All planters stated that the outside
world has no conception of the floods, or
losses incurred by the destruction of
crops, stock and buildings. Nearly
every planter has built boats and sent
them through the flooded districts to
render assistance to the people, and, if
possible, save some Of their drowning
stock.
Loss Of Life and Property.
The food district has length of 500
miles, breadth of probably so miles,
and in all this vast space damage incal-
culable has been done.
The loss of life will never be fnlly
known, perhaps; the bottoms were
thickly settled, mostly with negro ten
ant farmers; among these'h has been the
greatest loss of life. To show the dam
age done, the following estimates have
been made by men who are in posi-.
tion to know:
Lives lost from 100 to 800; loss to
farmers, including crops, as wei as live
stock from $5,00O,000 to $15, 900;
damage to railroads and country
bridges, $4,000, 900 to $4,O00,OOO.
These estimates are taken in the
whole area. It is known that more
than sixty people have met their death;
that many bodies have been recovered;
it is not believed that all of them will
ever be recovered.
