include two women who were passen-

were drowned before aid reached
them. The bodies of both women
have been recovered and are compar.
atively free from bruises or burns,
indicating that death was due to
drowning. The remains of the two
deckhands, Phipps and Mack, have
not been found. Purser Power was
badly scalded by escaping steam, and
Mate Maynard was also terribly
burned. They were taken to New
Westminster and are now in the city
hospital. but are not expected to sur.

DAM GAVE WAY.
Greater Part Of Town Submerged. But No
Lives Lost.

Chester, Mass, April %. - The
Flood Hollow dam, in Middlefield,
gave way about O'Clock last night,
letting loose the water in the big
reservoir, which rushed with terrific
force into the west branch of the
Westfeld river, sweeping everything
before it and submerging the greater
part of this town. No lives were lost
but great damage has been done, the
extent OF which it is impossible now
to estimate. The dam was built in
1874, to take the place Of the one
which was destroyed by the food OF
the year before, 1t was poorly con-
structed of stone and timber, and
had been a constant menace to the
town of Chester. The heavy rains
oyerhowed the reservoir and the dam
showed signs of weakening early in
the morning. Orders were given to
inspect the dam. The result was
that word was sent to the people be-
low that the dam was almost certain
to 60 out, and the families in the low
lands got what things they could to-
gether and made for places of safety.
They were none Too soon, for the dam
broke, and with deafening roar, a
torrent Of water was let loose into
Flood Hollow, which empties into
Westfield river. The huge timbers Of
the dam were hurled into the foaming
current. and went in one great crash
ing mass toward Chester. Two quartz
mills at Flood Hollow, barns and out
buildings were swept along in the tor
rent. At Bancroft the Boston 4 AL
bany stone bridge was carried away,
together with 600 feet of track Il

trains are running.

Manila, April "a Following Is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public this evening
II believe that / am not in error In
presuming that the unhappy fate TO
which my avderse fortune has led me
Is not q surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress Of the
war. The lessons taught with 4 full
meaning, and which have recently
come to my knowledge, suggest with
irresistible force that complete ter
minatoin Of hostilities and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but alb
soluteIy essential to the welfare Of the
Philippine islands.
"The Filipinos have never been
dismayed at their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out BY the fortitude and cour-
age. The time has come, however,
IN which they find their advance
along this path to be impeded BY an
irresistible force which, while It re-
strains them, yet enIightens their
minds and opens to them the cause d
peace. This cause has been ioyfully
embraced BY the majority Of my fell
low countrymen, who have already
united around the glorious sovereign
banner Of the United States. In this
banner they repose their trust and
belief that under its protection the
FiIipino people will attain all those
promised liberties which they are be-
ginning to enjoy.
1.-THE country has declared unmis-
takably in favor of peace So be it.
There has been enough blood, enough
ltears, and enough desolati0n This
wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by
a desire to serve our noble people,
which has thus clearly manifested its
will. So do / respect this will, now
that it is known to me.
s'After mature deliberation, / reso-
lutely proclaim to the world that
cannot refuse TO heed the voice OF z
people longing for peace. nor the h.
mentations Of thousands OF families
| yearning to see their dear ones enjoy.
ing the liberty and the promised gem
erosity Of the great American nation.
tBy acknowledging and accepting
te sovereignty of the United States

reservation whatsoever, | believe that
