An Apreal to Farmers

Houston. Tex. July 1O.-Tne local com mittee, which is caring for the 20,OOO suf- ferers whose crops were utterly destroyed by the recent flood in the valley of the Brazos and its many tributaries, makes an appeal to the farmers of the west; the only crop which these people can raise is early maturing corn, and there is no seed for it in this county; the corn that is left is not fit for seed, as it cannot mature this sea- son. The local committee, of which ex- United States District Attorney Taliaferro is chairman, asks for seed corn of the early maturing kind to be distributed to the stricken farmers. Great distress in this way can be relieved.

LAWN TENNIS
Middle-States' Championship Won By
 Mac Whitman"

New York, July 10.-Before a brilliant gathering of spectators Mac" Whitman, the Harvard giant, defeated W. A. Larned middle-states lawn tennis championship tournament on the courts of the Orange Tennis club this afternoon. The match was continued from the point at which it was stopped by the rain on Saturday. At that time both players had won set and the score stood Al in the third set, with Whitman leading. The Harvard players style of play differed slightly from that of Saturday. He used the same deep balls to hold Larned back from the net and when his opponent rushed to the barrier Whit man showed his ability to pass him.
 The score: Championship singles, chal- ienge round: M. D. Whitman (Holder beat w. A. Larned). Challenger 6-14; 4-6; GA; e-2.

Galveston. Tex, July 1O.-The railroads of Texas, especially those of South Texas, have been hit hard by the great floods of the past two weeks.

Down Ten Inches at Richmond

Richmond, Tex, July 10.-The river has only fallen ten inches since last night, and the situation remains unchanged No deaths have been reported here except those re- ported a few days ago. The planters held a meeting this morning and decided to get their negroes together and camp them near town and attend to the distribution of the rations By this means all impositions will be prevented.
 Contributions of cotton seed are solicited, as many planters will try the experiment of replanting, in the hope that they can at least raise enough to keep the labor em- ployed.

WORKING FOR THE
 FLOOD SUFFERERS
GoU Savers and Corps of AsSiS-
 tants Spent Yesterday.
WATERS RAPIDLY RtCEDING
Reports from the Stricken District Say That Matters Are Improving Slow ly-The Citizens Of Hearn
 Send For Aid

Austin, Tex.,s July Ex-Governor Savers and corps of assistants have spent the entire Gay working in behalf of the flood sufferers swarming up and down the Brazos river bottoms. Reports from all along the stricken district today are to the effect that while the waters are rapidly re- cedng the condition of the flood sufferers is improving very little. The governor re- ceived official reports from Velasco, the southernmost point, that everything was in fairly good condition there with 22 feet of water prevailing.
 The governor also received a telegram from the citizens of Hearn stating that they had fought alone as long as they could and would now have to ask public aid; that ali the property of the people Of that section had been laid waste, they were starving and homeless and would ask for both money and food as well as clothing. Their wants will be supplied at once.
 County Judge Bell, at Bellville, also wired an official report that there were 1,90O suf- ferers in the country north of MilPs Creek and 1000 in the creek bottom in absolute ns>d From numerous other portions of the hooded districts similar reports came pouring in and their requests for aid were at once referred to the various relief sta- tions being established along the flood dis trict. During the day Governor Savers was in telegraphic correspondence with number of points both within and without the state looking to the purchasing of car loads of cotton seed, corn peas and other farming seeds to be shipped into the flooded district at once with a view of replanting as much of the farming district as possi- ble forthwith.
 This afternoon he received information from Houston and several other points that several carloads of cotton seed had been forwarded to the district to be planted as soon as the waters recede. Governor Savers stated today to an Associated Press correspondent that the effort on the part of some to belittle the damage attendant upon this flood was actuated by motives that he could not understand; that during his long residence in Texas he had never seen a worse calamity befall it's people, and that from reports he had at his disposal here he was led to believe that the list of suffering would be very large. He has received so many reports relative to the alarming con diton surrounding the flooded district and its people that he today sent State Health Officer Blunt down to the scene of action with view of making personal investi- gation of the true condition of affairs ex- isting there, and as to the condition of the country and the people living therein. It has been feared for some time that the re- ceding waters would leave the country in a very sickly condition, and it is evident from the governors action today that he is fearful of like results and wants to be pre- pared for them in case they arise.

Relief Committee Meets

Brenham, Tex. July 10-The central ex- ecutive relief committee of Washington county met this morning to look over the flood situation and cast up accounts. Reports showed all persons detained at relief camps were abundantly supplied with wholesome provisions and were doing fairly well. MT. J. P. Buchanan, who owns a large Brazos plantation in the eastern part of this county was in town today, and when asked what percentage of the crop in the bottom would be lost, MT. Buchanan replied that he was acquainted with the condition of the crop before the flood and had been in the bottom constantly during the inundation, and gave it as his opinion that there was not one live stalk of either corn or cotton in the Brazos bottom in Washington county.

Matanzas are a great deal better than those
OF Havana. They are not as distant, and
treat the soldiers more kindly, especially
since the volunteers have left. There are
very few Spanards hore compared with
Havana, and they are always a good friend
to an American. The only interesting places
here that were connected with the war are
the few old Spanish forts. They were all
disabled during SIMPSONS bombardment, ex-
copt one Fort San Savarino, and that is now
used as q military prison. | spend a great
deal of my time taking pictures with my
camera and find it very amusing. The
