bert, the divine healer" is having large
crowds to attend his meetings which are

wears off they are as bad off as ever.
A man who was aboard the eastbound
Southern train this morning threw off
the cars piece of paper cut in the
shape of a coffin, with a Carr hadge
pinned to it. Underneath the badge
were the words: Earth to earth
ashes to ashes, dust to dust" The incl

most memorable political campaigns ever

BuRMAH FRONTIER FIGHT.

Battle Between Chinese Raiders and
the British Police.
Vancouver, B. c., April 9.-Oriental
papers state that Chinese official enmity
towards foreigners is being specially
directed against British citizens in
China. Instigated, it is said, by Rus
sian suggestions, the Chinese have
lately been especially troublesome on
the Burmah- Chinese frontier, where q
medical officer and an assistant COM
missioner were murdered.
A story was brought by the EmpresG
of Japan from Yokohama today of a
series of additional Chinese raids on
the Burman boundary, eliminating in
a battle between 500 Chinese and 75
military police under District Super.
intendent Hertz, of Rangoon. The
Indian military police, with 80 Gurk-
has, attacked the main body of Chinese,
killing "a and capturing their guns,
jingals and banners. The Chinese
leader was among the killed. Six of
the British forces, including two Off,
GERS, were wounded, only one seriously.
The scene of the battle was eight miles
on the Burmah side of the frontier.

Austin, Tex, April 1.-THE flood
situation is improved here somewhat
but the reports from points below in.
dicate that the full effect of the i'm.
mense volume of water is being felt in
Wharton and Fayette counties, every
thing being inundated and much loss
of property and livestock being re-
ported.
In Bastrop county the flood has
caused much damage, and something
like 30 washouts and losses of bridges
are reported by the railways. Advices
from the area surrounding the county
seat Of Rastrop corsntv are to the effect
that there has been some iSss u life.
among the farming class. las the eir
homes were inundated without warn
ing by the tidal wave, but outside of
an unconfrmed report that eight lives
were lost, nothing can be learned.
In the southern part of this county
several persons are missing, the num-
ber representing family of six Ital-
ians, and two negro families. whose
homes have been washed away The
river is receding rapidly at this point
and above, Notwithstanding the fact
that another heavy rise was reported
early this morning on the Concho, 125
miles north of here.
Reports tonight from La Grande, in
Fayette county, are to the effect that
while much of the lower part of the
town is under water, the property loss
is small. No one is missing.

A MEXICAN LAND GRANT.
Refusal to Recognize It May Lead t.
International Negotiations.

Refusal to Recognize Tt May Lead to
International Negotiations.
Monterey, CAL, April 11.-A paper
of considerable international import
ance has just been received from Lon
dor By Jacob r. Leese, of thiae
-. n the iifaIHia pioneer, a.
Loss. The papef ls the original grant
from the Mexican government, made in
1868, to Jacob P. Leese and others of
Is, s,OOO,O0 acres of land in Lower Cali
fornia for colonization purposes.
At the time the grant was made,
Mexico was in a state of war, which
continued practically until after the
accension of Diaz to the presidency,
and Leese and his associates found it
difficult to induce colonists to go there.
A further contract was made with the
Mexican government, by which Leese
paid 100000 for the land upon the
condition that if he failed to colonize
because of the war before the expira-
tion of an allotted time. the government
was to return him $4,000 of the
amount.
This amount has never been paid,
and it is stated that the Mexican gov
ernment absolutely refuses to recognize
Leese's claim. j. R. Leese, eldest son
of Jacob P. Leese, received . deed
from his father shortly before the lat
ter's death, assigning him one-eIghth
of the entire 18, ,O00,OO acres, and it is
this, as well as the $50, 900, for which
he is fighting. He intends to move at
once through the state department. at
Washington for a recognition of his
claim and restoration of his property
and that of other heirs.

Seeking Chinese Footho1d.

Tacoma, April 1.-THE steamer
Monmouthshire brings news that the
commercialists of Japan are agitating
the question of Japan obtaining foot
hold in Foo Kien province, in Southern
China, opposite Formosa.
The Japan Export Society, founded
by Count Inouyo, has appointed a
committee of influential men to inves-
tigate the best methods of increasing
the exports and decreasing the i'm
ports. The same society sent one of
its members to Foo Kien, which prov
ince he reports rich in silver, iron, lead
and coal. He recommends that min
ing CONCESSIONS be first secured, to be
followed by railroad concessions be-
tween Foo Chow and Kiu Kong, $50
miles. The port of Tswanchi, he says,
should be opened to facilitate trade
with Formosa.
By order of the empress dowager, two
of the most prominent Chinese reform
ers have been seized and probably exc
cuted.

Breaking OF the Dam.

The crisis came shortly after IL
O'Clock, when suddenly. with report
like the roar of the ocean, great
wedge, 25 feet high, 500 feet wide, and
about feet thick. rolled out of the
center section of the dam, down the
face of the 60-foot fall, deep into the
river below. This left hanging gap
in the very middle of the dam, through
which the debris and water fiercely
poured, while the flood, already raging,
was threatening everything in its path.
The released water poured into the
power house, catching eight employees
at work there, drowning all OF them.
Within short time all the valleys
to the south and west of Austin were
filled to overfowing with water, and
the southern portion of the city, tribu-
tary to the river, was inundated.
Large crowds collected on the river
banks, and several persons were swept
into the river when the dam broke, but
all were saved by boatmen.
A crowd of ,rhite people, numbering
about 80, living just below the dam in
tents, were seen at their habitations
just before the dam broke and have
not been accounted for since. 1t is
generally believed that all of them
were swept away.
A family of six negroes living in the
valley south of the city are known to
have been drowned.
1t is estimated that more than 100
houses have been destroyed, and the
loss to property will be great. The
breaking of the dam engulfed the old
water company's plant below the city,
and it is tonight lying Is feet under
water. while the city is in darkness and
without water.
