more than 1OO,OOO,OOO gallons of water
upon thickly populated district on
the hillside Immediately beneath it.
The damage is estimated at hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Houses and
barns were washed away, others were
badly damaged and a district three
blocks square was partly wrecked.
None of the houses in that district
escaped damage. Many are filed with
sand. The Grand Trunk railway
tracks were undermined so that trains
had to be sent around by the Pere

Mrs. William Cooper, aged 80, was
swept away by the flood and buried

injuries may prove fatal. Her hus-
band was also badly injured. A num-

Washington Hears the News.
Washington, July 1.-Two important
cablegrams were received by Secre-
tary Hay yesterday from United States
Consul Goodnow at Shanghai. The
date Is understood to be that of Sat
urday night. The text is withheld,
but the consul states in substance as
follows: 1t is rumored in Shanghai
that the German minister to Picking,
Baron Won Ketteler. was killed at Pc
king on the 18th of June. On the 23d
of June three of the legation buildings
were still standing-the others had
been burned. On the Goth Of June a
dispatch was received at Shanghai
from Yung Lu believed to be the
viceroy of the province of Chile, where
the principal troubles have occurred,)
stating that the other ministers were
safe.
Rabid Anti Foreigner I'm Control.
Dispatches to Shanghai from differ
ent sources indicate that Prince Tuan,
father of the heir apparent, seems to
be absolutely in control at Picking, and
that his attitude is the worst possible
and most hostile to foreigners. 1t Is
even said that he issued an edict as
far back as the Goth of June ordering
all of the viceroys to attack the for
eigners in their respective provinces
an order which has so far not been
obeyed.

FILIpINOs TAKE THE OATH.
But They DO 1t with a Wry Face-Lead-
ers Are Sworn.

Manila, June 2S.-Nine of the insur-
gent leaders, including Generals Pho
del Pillar, Conception, Garcia and AL
varez, were released here yesterday
upon taking the oath of allegiance to
the government and renouncing all
forms of revolution in the Philippines,
together with making formal acknowl-
edgment of American sovereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more
binding than the oath which General
Otis administered, and was conse-
frequently distasteful to the Filipinos,
who accepted 1t with bad grace, fully
realizing the results of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the oath Mon
day. 1t is hoped that the sparing of
the nine leaders will influence their
men to take advantage of the amnesty,
which has thus far been without re-
suits other than those of yesterday.
