Beside the wonderful oil and gas

the agricultural and stock raising

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime G. de Veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has Just been elected to second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits
sioner he has seat on the floor OF
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioners de Veyra has an inter-
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De Veyra family, individ-
ually and collectively. constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have In Washington.
The commissioner is 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the
foremost leaders Of the party in power
in the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor of his province, member OF the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
her and executive secretary Of the
islands.
Like many statesmen Of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of the founders OF
FL Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
pino paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship of General NC

ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. i 90
not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most OF
the defects, suppose, that other hui
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we q Christian people,
but our race has history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own al
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which is one of the dearest desires OF
the entire citizenship of the islands"
To American women whose ideas Of
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions Of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been reve-
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an
| impromptu speaker on the subject
| nearest her heart-the women Of her
| country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English concise
account of the work Of a woman's club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies Of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told Of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work
i ing women, provides Christmas cheel
for the lepers. the insane and the con
victs, and gathers data to influence leg
fslation for the benefit Of Filipino wo
men and children.

New Flood Warning for Mississippi
River

New Flood Warning for Mississippi
River.
New Orleans, April 20. There
is more water coming down the
Mississippi river than the wealth
er bureau officials figured on a
week ago, and another flood
warning was issued Monday by
R. A. Dyke, assistant forecaster
of the river bureau. Under the
new warning the river will rise
from four-tenths to seven-tenths
higher than on any of the other
food warnings and the crest will
be delayed in passing all points
between Natchez and New Or
leans.
"A slow but persistent rise has
continued above Natchez in the
Mississippi river" said Mr.. Dy-
ke's new warning. Crest stag
es are now indicated as follows:
Natchez, 81 feet by April 22-24
Baton Rouge, 80 feet between
April &c and II.
Simmesport. 43 to 43.5 feet be-
tween April 26 and II.
Melville, 4O.5 to Al feet be-
tween April 26 and 81.
Donaldsonville, 30.6 to 81 feet
between April &c and q.
New Orleans, 1879 to 1874 feet
between April 26 and %.
Mr.. Dyke said the rise at
Vicksburg continued and that it
was one tenth of a foot Monday
morning. The gauge at New
Orleans at z a. m. Monday was
1877, which is seven-tenths OF a
foot above flood stage.
The new flood warning shows
no increase in the volume OF wa
ter at Matches, but means that
seven-tenths more than was pre-.
dicted before will pass Baton
Rouge, five-tenths more at Don
aldsonville, five-tenths at Sim
mesport and four-tenths at New
Orleans.
The crevasse on the farm o.
DIR. H. Welch of New Orleans
near Trump, four miles below
Buras, was being taught by stat
and government engineers, wh'
were trying to tie the ends o
the break to keep it from spread
ing. The levee caved in Satur
day. 1t was a new levee bull
by the government and state en-
gineers and reports as to tn
cause of the break have not BEEF
received here yet.
A large territory plantated il
truck and rice will probably b
ruined by the break, and tn
water will flood thousands O
acres of oyster bottoms on it
way to the Gulf of Mexico. Ell
forts will also be made to clos
the crevasSe.
