q D FAMINE.
A United States Consul Sends a Report
to State Department of
the Situation.

Washington, April 12.-The state de-
partment has made public one of the
reports upon which it based it's state
ment to the navy department relative
to the famine in India. This particular
report is from United States Consul
Fee, at Bombay, and presents startling
figures to illustrate the extent of the
visitation. Mr.. Fee says that notwitb-
standing the season of acute distress
has hardly commenced, the returns far
exceed those recorded during the ini-
tial stages of the famine three years
ago. It then affected only LOCO, 900
persons; now the figure is 100000,
and the daily expenditure is placed at
$4,000. The famine area covers 3O0,-
900 square miles, with a population of
40, 900, 900, and there is a further area
of about 145,O0o square miles, with a
population of $1,000, 900, in which more
or less distress prevails, and where re-
lief already has been or will be given.

THE TEXAS FLOODS.
Heavy Rains Cause Many Deaths and
Much Damage to Property
Austin Dam Swept Away.

Austin. Tex. April 9.-The great
Austin dam gave way at noon Sat
urday before the floods of the Colo
RADIO river, spreading disaster in. the
lowlands of the city and points below
here on the river. Forty or more per-
sons are known to have persisted,
while n score or more are unaccountcd
for. The dam and power house just
below, both of which were wrecked,
were constructed seven years ago at
a cost of $1,400, 900. Great damage has
been done to crops and property
throughout the flooded section, which
extends practically from Waco to San
Antonio.
The heavy rains of the last few days
had caused a violent rise of the river,
the food bringing with it a vast guam
tity of ~wreckage. This mass bore too
heavily on the dam, breaking it. and
letting loose a reservoir of water 30
miles long, half a mile wide and 60
feet deep. Eight workmen in the light
and power plant, just below. the dam,
were the first to be drowned.
Waco, Tex, April 9.-Reports of loss
of life and damage caused by floods
due to the incessant rains during the
last three days continue to come
from all directions, and indications
point to a repetition of the disasters
of last year. Both t%elegraphic and
telephone service all over the state is
Frustrated, and details from the fool
ed districts are meager. All streams,
notably the Brazos and Colorado riy-
ers, are overlooking the lowlands and
rising rapidly. Cotton and corr crops
in some sections are submerged and
will have to be replanted. Railway
traffic is practically suspended on all
railroads running into this city, owing
to washouts along the lines.
Houston, Tex, April 9.-As a rule
the Texas rivers are now falling and
there is not much danger of a general
flood. The crops have been damaged
over a wide area, but there is still
time for farmers to replant if they
can get the seed. Corn has been
planted over once and will have to be
planted the third time. The farm
ers as a rule have not planted much
cotton, because the heavy rains have
kept them out of the fields. The rail-
roads have lost many small bridges,
and it will be a week before traffic re-
m it's normal condition.
Dallas, Tex, April 1o.-Reports re-
ceived at Dallas Monday from the
southern and southwestern Texas
flood sections show co~nclusively that
more than so lives have been lost, in
GLIDING those at Austin. The names
of at least one-half of the victims are
not obtainable because of the isolation
of the localities from railroad and
wire lines.

OTIS RELIEVED.
of Philippines Ended-MacAr-
thur to Succeed Him.

Washington, April 9.-Gen. ElwAl
S. Otis has been formally relieved of
command of the troops in the Philip
pines and Gen. Macarthur will sue
coed him in the direction of affairs
in the new possessions. From the
text of the correspondence made pub
lie by the war department all idea of
Gen. Otis returning to Manila is ADAM
doned and Gen. Macarthur is to be
the military governor. 1t has been
known for some time that Gen. Otis
was to leave the Philippines. It has
been the impression that he was to be
granted a leave of absence as soor as
he could put affairs in such shape as
to be able to leave them until about
October, whenahe might return.
The correspondence between Gen.
Otis and the war department, how
ever, leaves it to be inferred that Gen.
Otis does not desire to go back to
Manila, but has no request to make
regarding his future sphere of duty.

DEPARTMENTS MERGED.
Havana md Pinar del Rio. In Cuba.
to Be Under the Command of
Brig. Gen. Lee.

Washington, April 12.-The presi-
dent has issued an order merging the
departments of Havana and Pinar del
Rio, Cuba, under the command of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, with headquarters at
Quemados. The change will take eff
feet May 1. At present Gen. Ludlow is
in command of the department of Ha-
yana. which is to be amalgamated with
Pinar del Rio. Quemados is the pres
ent headquarters of the department of
Pinar del Rio, and is the site of the
camp where the major part of the
American garrison is quartered. The
fact that Gen. Lee is to retain his
headquarters there is regarded as an
evidence of the fact that his duties are
to be purely military, and that he will
have nothing to do with the civil ad-
ministration in Havana.

either Geographic or mail, which pass
between the department of state and

Long straightforward Port Ricnn Meas
ure Ended-Sennte Committee
Votes to Unsent Clark.

Washington, April 1.-THE long
and bitter struggle over the Porto
Rican tariff bill ended Wednesday
when the house by a vote of 161 to 1853
concurred in all the senate amend
ments. AS the bill originally passed
the house it was a simple bill impos-
ing 10 per cent. of the Dingley rates on
goods going from Porto Rico into the
United States. AS amended by the
senate and agreed to by the house all
restrictions on goods coming into the
United States from Porto Rico are
and certain foodstuffs and
other articles which heretofore have
gone into Porto Rico free by executive
order are excluded from the operation
of the Is per cent. duty imposed on
goods entering the island from the
United States. A complete scheme of
civil government for the island is also
attached to the measure.
Upon the final vote nine republicans
voted against the bill: Messrs. Heat
wole (Minn.), Crumpacker Qnd.). Lane
Qa.). Littlefeld (Me.). Mccall (Mass.),
II. C. Smith (Mich.), Warner (1ll.),
Fletcher (Me.) and Lorimer (Ill.).
Two democrats, Messrs. Davey and

democrats in favor of the bill, and one
democrat, Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
voted for it outright. Mr.. DeVries,

Washington, April II. = The senate
committee on privileges and elections
Tuesday decided by a unanimous vote
to recommend the adoption of a reso-
luton declaring that Hon. W. A. Clark,
of Montana, is not entitled to occupy a
seat as a senator from Montana. The
decision was reached, after a two
hours sitting, at which all the mem
bers of the committee were present ex-
cept one. The absentee was Senator
Gallery, of Louisiana, and he wired
his vote in opposition to Mr.. Clark.
The ballot was not taken until all the
members present had expressed them
selves upon the question, some of them
speaking at some length and all ex-
pressing different shades of opinion.

him. He, unfortunately for two tender

heart until his beard grew down to his
