Not only have they shown excellent dis cipline, but they hive eagerly sought duty on the firing line, andj have never faltered -in an advance on the enemy. There has been no shirking In their reg iments and no complaint when called upon to bear the brunt of an assault. Their record from the moment they embarked to the present time has been excellent, and the reports received at the war department, General Corbin says, Indicate that any attempt at send ing them homo for muster 'out before the campaign is completed would excite a riot. They desire to remain as long as there is any fighting to be done, and the department, in recognition of their ex cellent service, will not order them horie until the military problem iu the Philippines is solved, or the volunteers formally request to be released. Floods in California. ' Stockton, Cel., March 28. Reports from many sections of the San Joaquin valley show that the flood caused by the late heavy rains is increasing instead of receding, as it was anticipated it would. Water is still pouring in on the lowlands but in some places the area covered is not increasable, owing to the depth of the pockets. In some placas the water is bo deep that the owners do not expect to have their land drained before July, too late for planting a second crop. There are many small streams in this section, and it is these that are causing the moat troub'e, the larger ones being Kenerally high banked. In some places the floods will be beneficial. It Is es timated that the flooded area covets nearly 30,000 acres. President Returns to Washington. Washington, March 28.

PLAN IS BEING FORMULATED Headquarters is to be Established at Washington In a Building to be Erected Especially for the Society. New York, March 29. The Herald says that plans are afoot to reorganize the National Red Cross Society, with a view greatly increasing its scope. Primarily, it is intended to establish permanent heaiiquarters of the National Red Cross Society in Washington. The proposed plan contemplates the erection nf a building at Washington to be devoted solely to the u?es of the society. The proposed plan does not contem plate extending the work of reorganiza tion at present to Cuba, Hawaii or the Philippinelslanda. In the United States, the country will be divided into depart ments as they now exist. Each depart ment will be administered by a chief, who will have control of the territory under bis charge, acd who will in turn be responsible to the executive com mitlee of the board of diiectors. It will be the duty ot each chief to so organize his de partment that lecal Red Cross societies will be within his jurisdicton. These societies will be responsible to bim. Tbe plan does not contemplate that any person oftnected with the society shall receivt pay for seivices, except tbe chief of staff at Washington, and the clerical and eimilei labor which will be absolutely necessary to employ.

The British foreign office has received an official dis patch confirming the news from Aplitv announcing the outbreak of hospitalities there. First news of the bombardment of tho coast towns of Samoa was contained in an Associated Press dispatch sent out last night, which said that the trouble growing out of election of a king had) taken a more serious turn and resulted in the shelling of the coitBt villages by the United States cruiser Philadelphia, Admiral Kautx commanding, and the British cruisers Porpoiso and Royalist. The bombardment has continued inter mittently lor eight days. Several villages have been burned, aud there have been, a number of casualties among and Amer ican and British sailors and marines.

He says the increase in lambs this yar will be no more than CO per cent, unless perfect weather condition prevail, when the in crease may be as much as seventy-five. Ordinarily tbe Ii crease under favorable onditions should be 100 per cent, and, in exceptionally good years, even more. Many sheep are dying in Yakima county, and the outlook is discouraging, accord ing to Mr. E pinger. Douglas Belts, former'y a representw tive in the legitl ttnre from this county, said today that throughout this eounty the loss to the sheep industry wiil be no less than 15 per cent, or 10 percent moiw than the loss in ordinary years, Mr. Belts is a c mservative man. He places the loss at a lower figure than the ma jority do. He says, however that the heaviest loss will be looked for during the coming two weeks to a month, for the reason that feed is so tc.irce that the sheep cannot reenperate from the weak condition in which the severe winter weather left them, and tho ewes cannot properly nourish the young lamb.
