 tonight at Horseshoe Bend above the roaring of the river could be heard the singing and praying of more than 1Ity negroes who were facing peril of death In rocking gin house on an island mile and a half out. "a
 Fifty more refugees were in a gin mousse opposite Ropes Bridge. In the Parker residence were eighty other nood victims and similar numbers in various plantation houses alo1g the forty miles of the valley up to Mum ford.
 A rapid fall in temperature and a cutt1n wind increased the suffering to- day, especially in the tent colonies along the river banks
 Almost all those affected were ne- groes. Three hundred rescue negroes were gathered at Koppe's Bridge.
 pr. F. H. Rayzer of Bryan, who was active in rescue work, described the situation as follows:
 Along forty miles of river bottom everything has been wiped out and there are 700 or 1000 persons maroon : cd In gin houses and large residences. We have been to most oF these ana they are 62Ie. fbut all need food Ther0 are no refuFees remaining in the trees. -
 How many nGro tenants In the flood - ed sections were drowned Is s4in un- known and until the water recedes tha death tell cannot be estimated with any degree Cf accuracy.
 The flood stretches over the valley six miles or more almost to the hori = Eon, the water dotted here and there by house top or the steeple of a sub- merged church. The forty mile leEee is now the refuge Of horses, mules and cattle at points where it did not cave in. Many of the rescued negroes to-, day appeared uneoncerned over thesr adventures. They grouped around camp fires laughing and recalling fn-' ctdents of their escape from the flood. Friday night at Horseshoe Bend, six miles below WeTlborn, light bobbed up and down on the river and there came the frantic cries of a half dozen persons, the hoarse voices of men. min gled with the screams of women The dim bulk of a house could be seen but it was impossible for persons on the bank to aid those in the house. Tn the same vicinity a child was born on a housetop. The infant cied and the mother, who was rescued by a motorboat. is in critical condition.

A SLOW PRocE
Washington Officials Think Revolution
 May See-Saw for Some Time.

Washington, Dec. With the an- nounced policy of the Washington gov ernment on the diplomatic side of the Mexican situation one of patient wait ing, interest chiefly centers in the rap- idly moving military operations in northern Mexico.
 The movement southward of General Villas constituionalists and the re- port sthat Huerta generals are plan ming a concentrated obstruction to his march on Mexico City, with 8 possible flank movement by those bodies of fed era1 troops hitherto reported as flee ing from Chihuahua City to the bor- der, are being observed with marked attention by military officials there.
 There is a general feeling among high officials here that the pendulum will swing back and forth for some weeks-constitut ionalisS successes be- ing followed by federal victories-and that the process of forcing the Huerta government to yield will be a slow one.

NO GOVERNMENT AID
 TO BUILD CHURCHES.
Cardinal Gibbons Fears 1t Might Sub
 sidize the Clergy.

Baltimore, Md. Dec. - do not wish to see the day when the church will in yoke and receive government aid to build our churches or subsidize the clergy said Cardinal Gibbons in a sermon at the cathedral here today. For the civil rulers might dictate the doctrines we were to preach.
 May the happy conditions now exist ing among us always continue; when the relations between the clergy and the people will be direct and immedi- ate; when bishops and priests will be- stow on their spiritual children their voluntary labor, and when they will receive in return the free will offer tngs, the devotion and gratitude of their beloved flocks."
 The cardinal said that whenever any encrOachJnent on the sacred rights of civil and religious liberty have been made by protesting members of the church these wrongs, far from being peDetrated with her sanction, were committed in palpable violation of her authority.
