FARM LANDS ARE
 NOW UNDER WATER
Grand River in Michigan is Now at a StandStiII-Great
 Damage Done

Grand Rapids, Mich, March N.-Grand River is stationary tonight and a further rise is not looked for unless a heavy rain should follow the cool wave The manu- featuring plants along the river front are closed, the basements being flooded In some instances the first floor being under water.
 The part of the island upon which the city lighting plant is located is under water.
 Late this afternoon two dams on Dixon Creek, a tributary to Flat River, went out of its banks and flooded the city Of Fielding. The safety of the dam on Grand River is feared. The released water poured through Flat River into the Grand and is being felt in this city now, and the river is again rising at the rate of an inch an hour.
 The dam on the Huron River at Ypsi- lanti went out tonight, causing damage of $15,OO0 to. the Ypsilanti Paper Com pany, which will have to close down for four months
 The river above and below the city in many places is nearly two miles wide, flooding a large area of farm lands.
 A dispatch from Niles tonight states that the St. Joseph River Is on a ram page and the dam at that place is likely to go out before morning. At Iona, the situation is not much improved and DOT tions of the city are still inundated.

GERMANY RENDERING
 INDEMNITY NEGOTIATIONS

London, March 2S.-"The indemnity ne- gotiations are hindered," says the Pekin correspondent of the Morning Post, be cause Germany insists on forcing loan upon China to meet the foreign demands. Sir Robert Hart's scheme of internal tax ation would occupy fifty years
 "A conflict is believed to be imminent between the French and Chinese troops at Hwai Lu Li Hung Chang has or dered the Chinese general to withdraw from the province of Chi Li and the gen. eral replied that he would withdraw after he had swept the foreigners out
 ''The French have 15O0 men at Hwai Lu, and the Chinese are reported to number 25 ,00o. Victory would give the French command of the main road to the prov ince of Shan Si by better route than for Ping which the Germans have secured
 'The French intend to construct a rail- way to Kalgan as the first step in a trans Mongolia line to Lake Baikal.
 "A remarkable testimony was borne to the excellence of American municipal government in Pekin today when many thousands of Chinese assembled In the American quarters and presented a peti- ton begging the Americans to remain in Pekin'

WORK OF REBUILDING
 HAS BEG IN IN EARNEST

The work of rebuilding the houses dam aged or destroyed by the tornado Mon day has begun, and the ring of the ham 1mer and the saw can be heard all along the devastated district Timbers, boards and other debris are being gathered up and removed and some of 1t use in patch ing those houses which were not entirely razed. In few days it is expected that the sections visited by the tornado will be dotted with new cottages ready for oc- cupancy.
 Business in the city yesterday resumed its normal condition and a visitor could not have detected that anything out of the ordinary had occurred just two days before There was the same metropoli- tan hustle and activity that is observable every day in Birmingham and which dis tinguishes her from other southern cities. The storm is already becoming history, and in a few more days will cease to he talked about except by those who were directly sufferers from it's ravages.

COTTON ACREAGE
 NEEDS DECREASING
President Peters of the Texas Cotton Growers AsSocia-
 tion Calls Meeting

Dallas, Tex, March 27.-Colonel E. s. Peters, president of the Texas Cotton Growers Protective Association, today issued a call to cotton growers of every county in Texas to meet at their respect i've court houses on the first Saturday in April to agree on a reduction in the acre. age of cotton. In his call President Pe- ters says:
 If the cotton acreage of the south be increased the price for the staple will go below 6 cents next fall, which will re- suit in the greatest financial calamity that has befallen the southern farmers in years. Now is the time for action, be- cause the price for the staple will be fixed according to the acreage planted this spring"
 As further reason for reducing the acreage, President Peters cites the clos ing down of the cotton mills of the coun- try, which he says ds done for the pur- pose of depressing the price of cotton, and he asserts the time has come when the farmers must themselves act in con cert by reducing the acreage and make nugatory the efforts of the spinners to lower the price.
 Agitation for reduction of cotton acre age in this State has been persistent and widespread, and the indications are that the meetings will be largely attended.

 The relief committee was busy all day yesterday distributing funds to those who were in need of assistance. Chairman B. F Roden, Culpepper Exum and Secretary Gibson. assisted by Mayor Drennen and Alderman Harry Jones, spent the greater part of the day at the relief headquarters, corner of Avenue F and TWenty-fourth street, listening to tales of distress and suffering that came from those who had been in the tornado's path. There were during the day, and wherever the circum- stances justified it the sufferer was liber- ally provided with funds to get food and clothes with which to make himself or herself comfortable for the time being at least

IT MEANS THE END OF
 THE REBELLlOuS WAR

Washington, March N.-Oficial news of the capture of Agunaldo had not reached the War Department up to late hour tonight The President had retired before the Associated Press bulletin arrived, and will hear the news for the first time in the morning.
 The capture of AguipAldo will be source of great satisfaction to the Pres ident and his advisers. Coming so soon after the surrenders reported by General Macarthur of prominent Filipino officers and the successful establishment of civil local government by the Taft commits sion, they feel that the end of the rebel lious war in the islands Is nearly at hand With the expected collapse of further op- position. which it is confidently believed will follow the hope Is expressed that it will not be necessary to maintain such large standing army in the islands as is now contemplated.

RUSSO.CHINESE AGREEMENT WILL
 BE SIGNED SOON However, the Negotiations Con- tinue Between Countries RESULT IS STILL UNCERTAIN 1t Is Automatically Admitted That Russia Is Seeking Certain Guar
 antees That Will Secure
 Her in the Future.
 
RESULT IS STILL UNCERTAIN

St. Petersburg. March 27.-The corre- spondent of the Associated. Press Is in- formed on competent authority that the Russo Chinese agreement will probably be signed shortly. However, the negotia- tions continue and the result is not yet certain. While it is possible the details will be slightly modified. the arrange ments will be substantially as demanded. According to the Russian point of view, an abatement of what are here regarded as moderate demands would be inconsist- ent with Russian interests and would not sufficiently safeguard the frontier and railroad. The agreement now being dis cussed does not mention and does not affect Mongolia or Turkistan. It concerns Manchuria exclusively. Mongolia or Fur kistan have never been included in the formal draft, as the correspondent of the Associated Press Is informed but they formed a subject with manchurta of an exchange of ideas preliminary to formal negotiations The agreement will be de- signed for the protection of existing in terests and rights and not for the ac- quisition of new things.
 It is automatically admitted that Rus sia is seeking certain guarantees for fu- ture security and it is positively certain that no powers have protested, even Ja- pan refraining from this attempt to in- terfere between two other governments. However, the Japanese minister discuss ed this and other phases of the Chinese question with the Chinese office. The statement of tbe -Japaness5 areign min ister that Japan will not necessarily de- mand compensation if the agreement Is signed has not made a decisive impress sion for as the authority of the corre- spondent of the Associated Press says promises or threats and their perform ances are often quite different. Russia does not object to the principle of Count Von Buelow the German imperial chan cellor, that the agreement will not di- minish substantially China's ability to pay an indemnity, since the arrange ments does not affect the exising com mercial rights of other nations in Man churia. China will continue collecting customs dues in Manchuria.

EFFECT OF WIDELY
 EXAGGERATED ACCOUNTS

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany received a cablegram from Glas- gow, Scotland, asking the extent of the losses here. Other companies received similar telegrams. Tennessee Coal and Iron, Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville stock dropped on the New York Stock Exchange Monday on the re- ceipt of wildly exaggerated reports that Birmingham had been wiped out of ex- istence. Later advices corrected the erronerous reports and the stocks recov- cred what they had lost earlier in the day.
 The telegraph offices in this city. both the Postal and the Western Union, wero crowded all day Monday and until a late hour that night with persons sending telegrams to their people elsewhere in- forming them that the senders were un- hurt. Both companies handled the bus mess promptly, but they were taxed to their utmost to do so. The heavy winds had blown down the wires in a number of places and on this account the usual number of wires were not available.

WOMEN ARE COOPERATING
 IN NOBLE WORK OF RELIEF

The club not only stands ready to give immediate assistance to the sufferers, but will continue it's work of relief as long az Mayor Drennen feels the need of it's cooperation. This statement is au- thorized by Mrs. Zac Smith, the president of the club. ..s
 When asked last night of the success of the work she stated that the appeal of the club was meeting with generous responses. Her telephones had been kept busy all day with inquiries asking what was most needed and to whom must do- nations be sent.
 The desire to cooperate with the woman's Club in its noble work was very general and Birmingham women have re- sponded generously and nobly to the ap- peal for aid
 Women Go To Irondale.
 Several women active in the work went to the relief of many stricken families at Avondale. yesterday afternoon.
 "The suffering at Avondale," said one of them, 'is very great and there are many poor families left destitute. Tn some cases there are women with babies but few days old and in these extreme cases we realize the need of immediate assistance and clothing and provisions for the sufferers"
 The voluntary and individual assistance given by Birmingham women can only be determined indefinitely. Every where one turns there Is a story of distress re- lieved by good women.
 The Situation Met.
 The systematic work that Is being ac- complished by organized effort and the in dividual work as well. has brought relief to a devastated people.
 Before the proclamation of Mayor Dren- nen was published, steps for relief had already been taken by one of Birming- hams philanthropic women. The United Charities maintains at all times its relief committees in various districts of the city. Mrs. w. &. Lowell is chairman of the South Side district, and as soon as the news of the storm disaster reached her she went immediately to work to- wards relieving the victims of the storm

NEGROES WERE IN
 LARGE MAJORITY

The great majority of those applying for assistance were negroes, although there was a fair sprinkling of white per sons, both men and women, who called at the relief headquarters. They had lost everything in the world they pos- sessed and were suffering fort the actual necessities of life.
 The committee was disposed to be lib- eral with the sufferers and gave them such sums of money as it deemed neces- sary to tide them over the temporary distress. The average sum paid out was $10 but in some instances where the head of the family applied for funds and he could prove to the satisfaction of the committee that he was really in need he was given a larger sum. Some received but a few dollars and all went away happy and apparently contented with tho donations.
 Mrs. Torrey of the United Charities went to the relief headquarters early in the afternoon and remained until nearly night.
