'The Financial Loss Caused by the Recent
Floods in Texas Is Awful to
Contemplate.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Mr. E. S.
Holmes, Jr., an expert of the statistical
bureau of the department of agricul-
ture, has just completed a report to
Chief Statistician Hyde, of that depart
ment, embodying the results of a tour
of the flood devastated region of Texas
and making careful estimate of the
damage done, the aggregate of which
he places at 81, 414,0OO. Although near
ly 80 per cent. of the total loss occurred
in the destruction of or injury to grow
ing crops, the damage to farm property
and the losses of live stock, etc,
amount to the large sum of $s44, 600.
The land itself is damaged by washing
and gulleying to the extent of over
$500, 900, but of this loss about one-half
is estimated as offset by the increased
future productiveness resulting from
the alluvial deposit left by the flood.

was large crowd in attendance at the

senator caused almost a panic, which
was only prevented by the prompt ac-
ton of some of the cooler headed men
among the wooodmen.

Orders Expected Within Few Days
for the Enlistment of More
Volunteers.
RooT ANXIOUS FOR GOOD OFFICERS.
Political Influence or Personal Pull to Cut
No Figure In the Distribution of Com
missions, but Governors Are Asked to
Name Good Men Who Served Their
States In the Spanish War.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Orders are ex-
pected within few days directing the
organization of five new volunteer reg
iments for the Philippines. While a
final decision on the matter of enlist
ing still more troops has not yet been
made, the fact that Secretary Root is
already considering the question of
officers for the regiments indicates the
strong probability that they will be Or
ganized.
The secretary is extremely anxious
to get good officers, and as he cannot
examine each individual record he has
decided to place the responsibility on
the governors. A telegram has been
sent to each of these officials, request
ing them to nominate two men from the
volunteer organizations of their states
who served in the Spanish war. The
governors are informed that the depart.
ment desires these names in view of the
prospect of additional regiments being
organized. Political influence and per-
sonal or social pull will cut no figure
in the distribution of commissions in
these new regiments. Secretary Root
made that point clear to Senator Clay,
VI 0COISiet, "HSu CiiC 1tCCCi SdiiOU a.

pointment of several young Georgians
who are ambitious to enter the army
as commissioned officers. 1--WE have
heretofore had so much trouble over
civilian appointments" said Secretary
Root, shat we propose to make the
new appointments without the aid of
political or personal influence"
Secretary Root is determined that
the fall campaign shall end the insur-
rection and that Gen. Otis may have no
excuse for failure to bring it to close
he proposes to give him as large an
army as conditions may show is neces-
sary. The proposed new regiments
may be sent Immediately after the ten
volunteer regiments already enlisted,
should the necessity for them be dem
onstrated. Should it be apparent
when these commands have been re-
cruited that Otis force is still not suffi-
Gent to control the situation, recruit
ing will continue until all of the vol
unteers authorized by congress have
been enlisted.
The recruiting for the ten regiments
continues, although they have their
full complement of men, and the over
flow may serve as a nucleus for the new
regiments. 1t is the expectation of the
department that enough men for Is
volunteer regiments will have been OBJ
tanned by the middle of September.

HarbOr and Vicinity.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Naval Con-
structor Richmond Pearson Hobson
was heard from by the navy depart
ment yesterday for the first time at any
length since he was assigned to duty
in charge of the Spanish ships raised
from Manila harbor and now undergo
ing repairs at Hong Kong. His report
is unusually interesting, dealing in
general questions, such as the need of
a large dock yard in the Orient, the in
creasing shipping at Manila and the
prospect that Manila will succeed Hong
Kong as the emporium of the east, the
value of Chinese labor in all branches
of industry, etc. He also says the
three Spanish ships which are COM
pleted will be worth to the government
about $4,000, and, he contemplates
trying to raise three more Spanish yes
sells now at the bottom of Manila bay.
