an Understandable depth. That por.

molished has completely disappeared

A curious feature resulting from the
removal of the water is that the mid.
ship deck and central superstructure,
remaining practically level, constitute
in effect great cantilever sustaining
their own weight without any direct
undersupport. All the structural men,

have been destroyed and the cavity
has been half filled with mud. The
aft midships section of the berth
deck, on which were wardroom ana

the removal of which will be slow and
difficult. Hopes are entertained that

FLOOD VICTIMS IN MEXICO
Jefe Politico Puts Obstacles In way o.
Red Cross, Preventing Proper
Distribution Of Relief.

City of Mexico.-Five thousand per
sons are near starvation and suffer'
ing for the simplest necessities OF
life at Leon, in the flooded district
according to representatives OF the
Mexican Red Cross who have just re-
turned to the capital. Many others
are in a similar state in Lagos, San
Francisco and En- Carnacion, in the
state of Jalisco. Red Cross repre-
sentatives state that the supplies
they brought to Leon were not suf-
ficient to relieve the distress for
twenty-four hours and that they re-
turnd to Mexico to issue call for
help so that quick relief might be
offered. Rains have continued and
many even lack shelter.
Octavia Gulada, head of the Red
Cross brigade, says the jefe politico
put obstacles in the way Of the Red
Cross distributing relief, wishing to
make the distribution himself for po-
litical reasons.
The American and Cuban Steamship
company will start service between

TEXAS MAY Be REIMBURSED
state May Receive $1e3,oo0 for De.
Tense OF Texas Frontier Before
Civil War.

Washington.-As a result Of an
amendment offered to the general de.
ficiency bill in the senate Tuesday by
Senator Culberson. the State Of Texas
stands in fair way to soon receive a
payment Of money from the United
States, aggregating about $4,000, in
reimbursement for defense of the
frontier against Mexican and Indian
marauders prior to the civil war.
In 1905 Senator Culberson submitted
an amendment to the general de-
ficiency appropriation bill, which was
adopted, providing in effect that the
secretary Of war should report to con-
gress what sums of money had been
expended by Texas between 1855 and
1860 for troops called into service in
defense of the frontier, for which re-
endorsement had not been made by
the United States.
The secretary Of war reported un-
der this amendment that the State had
expended about $4,000 for this pur-
pose and in 1906 and 1908, respective
ly, this sum of money was appro-
priated and paid to the State by the
United States.
Governor Colquitt, acting under a
resolution of the legislature, passed
in 1909, has written Senator Culberson
that the State expended for the de-
tense OF the frontier, in addition to
the amount already refunded by the
United States, the sum of about $780,
900, as above stated. OF this amount,
it seems that $500 was not included
in The previous appropriations, be-
cause of tnadvertent failure OF the
State authorities to include the
amount in the hearing before the Sec
rotary Of war in 1905; and the other
and larger amount Of about $4,000
was not included, because at that time
the State authorities were ignorant
of the fact that the money had been
actually expended by the State. The
vouchers for this large amount were
in 1908 in some old records
in the controllers office, which had
been recovered from the fire which
destroyed the State capitol in 1881.
