Austin, Texas. June S.-The Colorado
river fell about three feet here during the
day. but shortly after 8 O'Clock this even
ing began gradually to rise again at the
rate of about one inch an hour and was
still climbing in the same proportion at
midnight.
From Marble Falls news was received
that the rise continued there and from.
points further west It was learned that all
water courses are out of their banks.
At San Saba the river is over a mil.

The town is under water and many ares
of agricultural land are inundated. Two
ladies by the name of Wells were dr3wned
near that town last night, and it Is he
lieved that several negroes and Mexican
campers we're also caught in the overflow
and lost their lives.
At Llano the Colorado was much swollen
this evening and indications OF It's getting
higher were plentiful. The rise which Is
evidently due at that point will reach
Austin some time during next morning.

POSSIBILITY OF WAR.

London. June S.-The morning papers
are beginning to talk quite seriously IL
the possibility of war in South Africa. Mi.
Chamberlain secretary of state for the
colonies, in his speech in the house OF
commons yesterday, announced that his
reply to the petition of the C'tlanders'
which had been held back pending the re-
suit of the conference at Bloemtontain'
would now be presented to the Transvaa!.
This reply is semi-offcially described as
explicit but conciliatory." but 1t is be-
lieved to be in the nature OF practi al
ultimatum The resources OF diploma, IS
are regarded as exhausted with the failure
of the conference Nothing is left, 1t Is
felt. but a recourse to force The Daily
Nail says it learns that 1t was President
KRUGER himself who suggested the con-
ference and it claims to have reliable au-
thority for declaring that Sir Alfred MIL
ner, the British high commissioner, mas
his back to the wall and is supported to
the utmost by the cabinet.
Commenting editorially on the situation,
the Daily Mail says: IF we know our
Kruger Alright he VIII back down and if
not, why
The Daily Chronicle deprecates Mr..
Chamberlain's warike attitude, but does
not deny the gravity of the situation and
seriously counsels the Beers to grant rea
sonable reforms 'as the only means OF
preserving their independence of the plots
against the stock exchange and the violence
of Downing street.
The Standard. which reminds the Trans
vaa that its independence is not abso-
lutte, but is contingent on a faithful exc
cution of the agreement stipulating equal
rights for all white inhabitants, says: I'VE
now demand that all Englishmen resident
in the Transvaal shall be treated with
justice and President Kruger may rest
assured that the whole country will sup
port the government in any measure re-
CURED to make this demand effective"
The Times gays: Let Mr.. Kruger grant
the Uitlanders full citizenship and the
whole question is ended. At present. he
only offers note of hand for a ridiculous
sum, payable many years hence, in return
for our immediate abandonment of all the
legal rights we now possess for enforcing
the payments of debts long overdue"
The Capetown correspondent of the
Times says: AT the close of the confer
ence. Mr.. Kruger declared that he was
pleased at the friendly way in which mat
tiers had been discussed and hoped they
would understand each other better in the
future"
