Bryan, Texas-sixty-fve persons
are known to be dead and scores Of
others are reported to have lost their
lives in the floods which have been
sweeping the valleys of the Brazos
and Trinity rivers in central and south
central Texas since early last week.
Three thousand persons have been

The flood in the Brazos river now is

THE VENGEANCE or OUTLAWS
Band of Desperadoes Wipe Out Every
Member Of q Large Family
But One.

Milan.-A band of outlaws has
melted out a dreadful vengeance ON a
well-to-do Sicilian family named Gala
zero, who lived at Favara, near Paler-
mo.
Several months ago the brigands
suspected the family Of acting as spies
for the police and plotting to have
them captured while entertaining them
to dinner. The outlaws accordingly
sent Signor Calagero a black-edged
missive warning him that the whole
family would be wiped out before the
fall of the leaves.
On June 8 the father, mother and
two elder sons were found to have
been murdered while asleep and the
two younger sons and their sister Flor
enza were thereupon taken away by
friends to Castrofllippo, in the hope of
averting further tragedy. It was in
vain, for few nights ago the brigands
waylaid and shot all three.
The only surviving member of tina
family Is married brother, with two
children, living in Brooklyn, N. Y.

possibly might have left the main

force between Villa and his base on
the border. Should Villa lose his

be isolated in Chihuahua and thus
be in the position of the federals be-

From "a Sad Page in Balkan History
Published at Athens.
Balkan government can no longer
possess the rights they formerly en-
joyed. It is therefore natural that
they should, all alike, without distinc-
ton of race or religion, desire auto
nomy under Ottoman sovereignty.
This defines the present duty Of the
Ottoman state, viz, to go forward re-
lying on her military strength and es-
tablish Macedonian autonomy. The
Greeks have no right to remain in
Kavala, or in Salonika, the capital of
the new principality. The Ottoman
army should advance beyond Salonika,
to Elassonas and enter Thessaly, and
cancel the claims Of the Greeks to
the islands also. This erection of
Macedonia into an autonomous prin-
cipality would serve the interests of
Roumania and Of the great powers OF
Europe, and make possible real ball
ance of power in the Balkans, and
stop the present deadly rivalry.
