OUTRAGEOUS LIE.

Washington, Feb 1S.-An answer TO
II communication from William c.
Dodge induiring into the reported ex-
istence Of slavery in the Jolo Islands
ana enclosing newspaper clippings al
lc%ing that Americans We're the slave
dealers. Secretary Taft has written the
following letter:
The statement with respect to slav-
cry i'll the Philippines is an outrageous
lie. There are no Americans engaged
in the slave trade at all: there has
been in the past some kidnapping by
the MOros of the several tribes but
this has been suppressed and there is
little OF it now. Gen. Wood, with the
approval of the Philippine commission
is using every cndcavor to suppress
slavery throughout the Moro province
to which it is almost wholly confined"

the south half of No. back in shape again.
 The loss to the farmers on the East side was considerable, some losing grain others hay and hogs. chickens and turkeys. great deal of damage was done to that land which lies in the strip where the largest part of She water fell. The flow was so great that 1t cut great channels across country to the Alamo, in some instances as deep as thirty feet.
 Tn the north end of No. the dam ages were not so large as it is not SO thickly settled, but word comes from k. D. Russell, in charge of the con- struction work there, that all his new ditches were ''all shot to pieces" All Tn all the damage cannot be estimated.
 At Brawley the rain was preceded by a heavy wind, and about two inches of water fell. The most of the harm done there was caused by the wind, it blow ing hay stacks, and barns and small houses to pieces. To the north of Brawley the water spoiled quite little hay and grain.
 This storm was novelty to the desert where it commonly rains but once or twice year.

WIND AND RAIN
Imperial Valley Suffers Severe Storm
 Amount of Damage

Saturday night heavy wind and rain storm visited the Valley, ranging apparently from northwest to south east. About Heber and Calexico no rain occurred; the heaviest damage being at Brawley and on the East Side.
 On the Imperial branch of the South ern Pacific twelve washouts near Rock wood held up traffic until the arrival of q construction crew from lndio. The train leaving Imperial at 3 :27 a. m. was caught between these washouts and forced to stop. A number of passengers had twelve-mie walk into Old Beach.
 On the Holtvile Interurban Railway were several small washouts near the Alamitos canal and one 250 feet long over the old bed of the Alamo, three miles from Holtville.
 The storm did the most damage on the Eastside in Water District Ne. 5. The rain cloud which passed over I'm perial went in that direction and came in contact with another heavy rain cloud, which had been gathering near the Arizona line, the two meeting in about the vicinity of the head of the Palmetto canal, and an awfully heavy downpour ensued. Some estimate the fall of water to be about three inches, but in Holtville we are informed it ex- cceded that amount considerably. So much water fell and so fast did it come that the Palmetto ditch could not begin to contain it, and within one and one half miles from its head there are fully twenty breaks; in fact the banks of the ditch are nearly all washed away. The heavy rush of water toward the Alamo disregarded all ditches, and washed over them with impunlty. The Plum, Palm aud Pampas were all cut and there is not a whole ditch in the system. Mir. Bridenstine says he belives it will take nearly $500 to put the canal system "(

THE HOLTVILLE INTERURBAN
An Inspection Trip On the New Rail-
 road

Through the courtesy of w. F. Holt a number of Imperial citizens enjoyed a ride over portion of the newly con- structed Holtville lnterurban Railway Monday. Those present were w. F. Holt, W. II. Hartshorn, Roy D. Me Pherrin, W. A. Edgar, F. G. Ravens, k. F.. Toomey, II. c. Reed, Construc- ton Superintendent Mariner and n PRESS representative. The train Was in charge of Conductor Gross.
 The road is completed to within one quarter of mile of the Alamo River, but owing to washouts caused by Satur- day nights flood, the party was only able to approach within about four miles of Hultville.
 Along the right of way are situated some very rich lands, which only need the touch of water to enable them to produce bountfully. Much of this land is suitable for melons, berries and alfalfa, being of that sandy soil that has made the Imperial Valley famous for it's wonderful crops. For some dis tance out from Cabarker, the junction, and also near lIoltyille, where water is abundant and the land has been under cultivation, the ranches are showing up well, and trees of upward of twenty feet in height grown in less than three years show what water will do for the desert.
 It is evident that the opening of the Holtville road will do great things for the neighhorng country. Mir. Holt states that it is his intention to com struct pleasure resort and picnic grounds. on g lake one and one half miles in length, where the population of the Valley may find amusement and rrcreation The ease of access by means of the new road will make this Layorite resort and ensure its success.

Stating the causes of the quarrel she said that in the fight which ensucd, Kinney struck Hayes in the back with dirk, after which he passed the weapon to Dees, who completed the work begun. Cross- examination failed to weaken her tesit- money. She alleged that this evidence had not been gwen in the previous trial because of threats made against her by Kinney in case she divulgel anything against him.
 Dees and Kinney were ordered held for the Superior Court on the charge of murder. No bail was asked.
 It has been consistently rumored about the city that Mike Kinney Tuesday night turned States evidence. Judge F.. C. MacDougal, counsel for the de- fense, informs the PRESS that there is no foundation for such report.
