AUSTIN, Tex, April 0.-The increased
volume Of water which came down the
river undermined the power house al
the dam, and it fell into the river, carry
ing with it $1,000 worth of machinery
The wreckage Of the plant means that
it will take several weeks to secure even
temporary water and light system, if
it eau be made possible even then. In
the meantime the city will be in a bad
sanitary condition.
All the hotels, private residences,
stores and the like are without water
and there IS no fire protection. Gsiurches
We're unable to hold services last night
for want of light, and all public meet
ings were abandoned. The daily news
papers are handicapped in their publica-
tons, being deprived of their electric
power.
The river is falling
Reports from the neighboring country
are to the effect that everything liz
under water. In Williamson county,
north of here, railroad kridges and
trackage have been laid waste and all
trains have stopped running. Hundreds
of head of cattle have been drowned
and miles of fencing torn down and
washed away. IN Bastrop county and
in the southern portion of this county,
similar conditions prevail, everything
being under water and much loss OF
property is reported.
The country tributary to the Colorado
river all the way down its course is
being inundated, and while it is be.
heyed the worst is over, the loss as esti-
mated will exceed some 80, 000, 900, count
ing Austin as the largest loser. The
list Of drowned, according to reports, is
limited to those who lost their lives
here when the dam broke. Probably
between 30 and 10 lives We're lost.
A massreeting of citizens has been
called for today in order that some steps
may be taken to relieve the situation.
The flood was not unlike the disastrous
Johnstown flood some years ago, in that
o raging river, already swollen far be-
yond its capacity, bore too heavily upon
an immense dam spanning the river
here, breaking it and letting loose a res
ervoir Of water 30 miles long, half a mile
wide and 60 feet deep, to aid in carrying
destruction down the valleys Of the
Colorado river.
With roar and crash it swept the
valleys below the city, wrecking the inn
mense light and power plant and drown
ing eight workmen.

MANIA, April 9.-Reports Of encoun-
tiers between the American troops and
the insurgents continued to arrive from
many points Captain Sturgis, while
accommodating struck az insurgent ont.
post on the Nevaliches road, five miles
distant from Manila, killing two and
capturing ten. All were in full uni
form. Unfortunately Captain Sturgis'
force was not large enough to pursue
the main body.
A detachment of the Forty second
infantry, while scouting III Laguna
province, vas pursued by the ins rgents
and obliged to take refuge in q church
at Paeto, where the Americans repealed
the rebels until reinforcements arrived.
Lieutenant Gordon, with company
of the Sixteenth infantry, while scout.
ing near APART, Caygayan province,
engaged 250 insurgents. Lieutenant
Gordon was wounded.
A sergeant and a corporal of Com
pany !, Eighteenth infantry, We're killed
in a severe fight in Capt. province, island
of Panay.
The insurgents made night attack
upon Calbayon, island of Samar. They

town and searched the house of Major
Gilmore, of the Forty-third infantry,
who was absent. They killed his cook.
Ultimately the Americans drove them
out of the town, killing four and captur.

General Young, commanding in North
Luzon, made several requests for rein
forcements, representing that his force
was inadequate, that the men were ex-
hausted by the necessity of constant
vigilance, that he was unable to garrison
the towns in his jurisdiction, that the
insurgents We're returning to the district
and killing the amigos, and that it was
necessary for him to inflict punishment
in several sections before the rainy seat
son began.
General James Bell, who is in COM
mand in Southern Luzon, made similar
representations. He said his forces were
inadequate, and that he merely held a
few towns, without controlling the ter
ritory.
The president of the town of Samal,
province of Bataar, Luzon, and another
prominent native, were assassinated be-
cause they We're known to be friendly
to the Americans.
The president of another town joined
the insurgents because they threatened
to kill him if he did NOT.

The letter which President Ray
mona sent to the Board Of Regents
resigning his position at the head Of
tile school is most remarkable doe
nment. 1t recites the fact. thai he
is moved to give up some OF the most
deeply cherished hopes OF his life
because he sees no final prospect o
success in his work.
He continues, 1T is impossible to
build up University save an the
basis of sound morals and s0uad
scholarship, with the generous 90
operation of those engagett in the
work. / have asked the femo al q
certain men known 10 you aud 81
me and to the community at Earg 10
be grossly deficient in one Or f
these regards. This demand yoaf
honorable body has refused to ggaaf
for reasons which / cannot oeen
sufficient
The community at large has besa
protesting vigorously over this state
ment about them. They have delueed
this Office with storm OF protest.
They well know that when anything
is to be done in defence Of the com
munity the New DOMINION has To be
looked to do it and they have laid in
their complaints to us for redress.
We have no desire to jump on the
fallen when they are down but we
cannot refrain from stating that this
resignation if it were the only rep
rehensible act that DR.. RAYMOND has
committed ought to be enough to
cause his removal However it has
the saving grace that it affords a
chance for us to get rid of him. 1t
is fitting close to his career in the
state. 1t is an insult not only to
the faculty and community but is
an added insult to the regents and
the people of the state. He cannot
deem their reasons for refusing his
demand sufficient and he will have
TO let go OF his cherished hopes of
reseuing the haweaters of this state
and leave them to the unkind fate
that will be sure to overtake them
1t is to be hoped that after this
last atrocity he will have the grace
to keep quiet until the regents shall
have the chance to accept his resig-
nation and dispense with his SER
vices which have been signal fail
ure from the start.

REMOVES ONE CAUSE OF FRICTION.

Anglo French Modus yivendi Covering
Newfoundland Fisheries Rights.
ST. JOHNS. N. F., April 9.-Joseph
Chamberlain, imperial secretary of state
for the colonies, has notified the colonial
cabinet that the British and French
governments renewed the Anglo French
modus vivendi covering fishery rights on
the Newfoundland shore until the close
of the present year.
This removes all apprehension as to
friction between the two powers over
the rights of their respective subjects
during the approaching fishing season.

Details of the Fire at Gastonia

Especial to the News and Observer
Gastona, N. c., Nov 29.-Todav at
about 1920 D. m. fire broke out 10 the
planning mills of j. E. Page & Co., in this
city, and. as all the workmen had gone
to dinner the fire soon spread all over
the interior of the building. When the
alarm was given and the ire was loca-
ted, the city hose was brought to the
scene and three large streams of water
were poured on the fire until it was
seen that it was impossible to save the
building or any of the machinery in 1t,
and then the hose played on the adJoin-
ing buildings and lumber piles with a
view to saving them. By heroic effort
by the colored fire company. and by the
people generally, the fire was kept under
control and did not spread to the lumber
piles and other buildings. But for the
city water works and the hose which had
just arrived, the loss might have been
two or three times as great. AS it was
the loss is estimated at something like
10000 with no Insurance.
The city's chemical wagon was used to
good advantage in putting out the fire
when adjoining buildings would catch on
FIRE.
This was by far the most disastrous
fire we have ever had. in Gastonia.
