July 12.—Repre sentative R. B.

At some points, the precipitation was three and a half feet in sixty hours, resulting in a Hood of enormous proportions, cov ering .-in area of many squire miles to a depth of from five to twenty feet, and a loss from twenty-nine to forty million dollars. "No h ss than twenty populous towns have been inundated as well as thous ands ol‘ well-established and well-ordered farms, which, today, are in a complete state of desolation. Practically every work animal, every milk cow, together i with all stock cattle and every vestige | of vegetation have been swept away 1 axing the country completely devasta i ted. Within the influence of this nw | std disaster are over one )mntired Ulotis j and people, most hail' of whom are in a ! state of helplessness today, except ns they may 1 ,* provi<L <! by those who a;< ; generous and able 10 ass st them. *'l lie whole State of Texas Is alive ! to the situation, ami is doing tts utmost |to relieve tin* suffering.

As much as has been heard of Southern development 1 do not believe the people of the East fully appreciate what is going on'down our way in me creation of wealth. I hope, however, that the export exposition will.be taken lull advantage of by Southern industrial interests and that it will he the means ol bringing the South and Philadelphia ! into closer trade relations, while at the same time, putting all American interests in closer touch with the foreign markets of the world.” MEI * 1 (’A L A PPG INT EES.

ADDRESS BY AGUINALDO APPEALS TO HIS PEOPLE WI T H FLORID ELOQUENCE TO BE CONSTANT. Declares that Ihe Monrce Dcc'rine of America for the Americans Applies with Equal Force to the Philippines. Manila, duly 12.—(7:25 P. M.)—A copy of the Sin Dependem-ia has reach ed Manila containing tin* speech which Agiiinahl’O made during the recent ie!e hration at Tarlae, of the anniversary of the proclamation of Philippine inde pendence. In substance it is as fol lows: "Filipino, beloved daughter of til** ar dent sun of the Tropics, commended ny Providence to the care of noble Spam, he not ungrateful to her salute who warmed you with the lirearli of tier own culture and civilization. "Is is true she sought to crush thy aspiration for independence, .-s -i bo mg | mother opposes separation torever from j the daughter of her bosom. This but j proves the excess of affection an 1 love Spain feels for thee. Filipino! Deleeate flower of the East, scare*ly eight months weaned from tin* nrensrs of thy mother, then hast dared to brav * a great and powerful nation such as is the I’nited States, after barely organi zing and disciplining thy little army. Yet we reply, we will be slaves to none, nor allow ourselves to hi* deceived by soft words. I s*t us continue to defend cur fatherland until independence is assur ed, for this is justice. We shall see at least that the great American nation will acknowledge the right which is on our side. That doctrine of the great Monroe, that America is for American*.-, is not forgotten, dust as we affirm that tin* Philippines are for the Filipi nos. Some States of the American Union have arisen in our favor. "Especially is the Democratic party convinced that both victors and van quished will lose pm-i-ous lives. Thus many of (lie people amj* many statesmen censure I resident McKinley as inhuman tor having ordered his military represen tatives at Manila to seek means to bring about hosilities with the Filipinos. These filets prove that they wished to try us to s**e if we are able to live up to the second color of our banner. Red. which signifies courage, heroism mid martyr dom. Therefore we should not resent this struggle with the Americans. In spite of their expressed desire to dom inate the Philippines, well, convinced are they that we will tight with justice and right on our side and that autonomy is all a show of deceit only serving to save certain accumulated wealth. We have never concealed out aspirations that we aspire, but to independence, that we will struggle c,n to obtain it. perhaps l’rom those who are now our enemies and tomorrow will he our allies as they were for the overthrow of the power of ’Spain. We might will .accept this 'au tonomy America offers, but what can we do with it if our a Dilution is indepen dence and if we are to accept it only to later overthrow l»y force of arms the sovereignty of America? As I believe it is the intention of the autonomists to make use of treachery and deceit, we cannot accept such a procedure. We j do not wish to he traitors afterward. \\ e wish tu show our character of frank ness and sincerity and nothing more. Let us avoid the example of those natives who having at one time been colonists, ac cepted autonomy to enable them to make their work surer once everything was prepared. History has given us an ex ample of this in recent events. Let us persist in our idea which is only the legitimate and noble aspirations of a peo ple which is desirous at all cost to pre serve its national honor spotless and as pure as a crystal. 'Thus. then, there will not he a single Filipino autonomist. Those who are so are in the eyes of the people but lime servers, fearful of losing 'their riches, threatened by risks of war. "Filipinos, let ns Ik* constant. “Let us strengthen tin* bonds of our union.” j Agninuhlo concluded with calling for | cheers for independence, the union of I I tlk‘ Filipinos and for the liberating army. • DR.W.
