M anila, Ju ly 10. — The trial at Ca-
bunatuan of the slayers of G eneral
Luna, the F ilip in o leader who was as­
sassinated by the guard of A guinaldo’s
residence, is ended. The accused were
acquitted on th e ground of self-defense.
The testim ony showed there was a con­
spiracy on the part of Luna and other
officeia to kill A guinaldo and make
L una diotator. L u n a’s death seems to
have strengthened A guinaldo’s leader­
ship for a tim e. L una supporters are
now outw ardly loyal to Aguinaldo.

improving.
The river is falling.
There is an unconfirmed rum or th a t five
lives were lost near S artarrtia, in F ort
Bend county. The report sent out
Wednesday from Brookshire, W aller
county, th a t two lives were lost theie.
now appears to have been an error.
Those who were supposed to have
drowned persist in m aking their reap­
pearance. Relief com m ittees aie now
well organized.
At B.ookshire, the relief com m ittee
have opened a commissary and issue a
half ration per capita. They have
taken precautions so th at only the de­
serving shall get these rations, ami,
therefore, they issue to the planter for
all the tenants lie had when the flood
came. Those wtio own th eir farm s and
lost everything, as is the case witl
most of them , are allowed to draw the-
rations direct.

Taooma, Ju ly 11.—The F airbanks-
fo ste r Alaska boundary party returned
from the north today.
Interview s
w ith members of the party indicate
that the w atershed on the W hite pass,
back of Skagway and Dyea, will lie ac­
cepted as the international boundaiy
line a t th a t p o in t The W hite ami
Chilkoot passes constitute the storm
•enter of the A laska Itoundary contro­
versy. A t those |»oiiits the Canadians
ho|»e to secuie concessions th a t will e n ­
able them to anchor down a |»orl of e n ­
try into the K londike gold fields. A ll
jth e r parts of the country thereabout»
where concessions are looked for are of
little im portance compared w ith the
Lynn canal territory, which is the key
to the situation. Senator F airbanks,
when interview ed, placed im itortance to
the fact th a t he m ust sit w ith the joint
high commission in A ugust, but de­
stined to state w hat lines of argum ent
he would take up. He expressed great
satisfaction at having made the trip.
Regarding boundary m atters th a t
were discussed during the four weeks
spent in A laska, Senator Foster de­
clined to speak. “ P erso n ally ,” he
said, “ 1 am opposed to yielding Hn inch
of U nited States territo ry . A oaieful
ingvestigation, however, dem onstrates
that there are may he different con­
structions placed upon the treaties in­
volved as regards channels, the situ a ­
tion of lesser islands, and the like.
Bnt, in the m ain, the U nited States is
plainly given a strip of territory, north
of P ortland canal, or thereabouts, 10
m arine leagues inland, except where a
well-defined m ountain range places the
bound-ry nearer the coast. T his strip
runs up to M ount St. Elias. Many
contend a t the passes th a t the w ater­
shed back of Skagway and Dyea is the
dividing line. On the one side are the
headw aters of the Yukon, and on the
other the stream s flowing into Lynn
canal are forme«!. Betweeu these two
d istricts there is a chain of m ountains,
thus, in the opinion of some, bringing
the boundary line some 18 m iles nearer
the coast. T his seeu.a to he a fair ex­
pression of the American view of the
boundary .auestion. By th is construc­
tion of the treaty it is held th a t Eng­
land will receive the benefit of every
point th a t can be fa>rly and honestly
granted.
“ On the other hand, however, the
Canadians and many Englishm en hold
th a t the boundary should bo drawn 30
miles, or 10 m arine leagues, inland
from the heautau.is By such a construc­
tion, of course, Lynn canal would he an
inlet into Canadian territo ry , and 10
m arine leagues inland from the head­
lands at the entrance would be many
miles south of Skagway and Dyea. and
hence Canada and England would have
the coveted port of entry w ithout a
question of doubt. As 1 k o k upon it,
personally, Lynn canal is a part of the
sea or ocean. Therefore, it would be
unfair to diaw a line 30 m iles inland
from th e headlands a t the entrance to
bodies of water of th a t nature, and call
it the boundary under the tre a ty .”

G alveston, Tex., Ju ly 11. — Relief
work in the Brazos Hooded d istric t
has been system atic, three relief tia in s
leaving H ouston, G alveston and San
A ntonio daily. Probably 20,000 ne-
gioes are now being fed, and w ill need
to he sustained for some tim e by the
relief com m ittees. The w ater is fa ll­
ing a t all points, except iu Brazoria
county.
A ll sorts of estim ates are made as to
the am ount of the cotton loss. An es­
tim ate of 50 per cent is oonsidere«! con­
servative. This will be a money loss
of <5,000,000. The loss sustained by
the destruction ot other crops, houses,
fencing, stock and bridges will be
<2,500,000, while the locs to the rail­
roads is probably <1,000,000, m aking
a total of <8,500,000.
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the loss of life in the
recent floods, the News has made a
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from
13 counties show a loss of 87 lives from
drow ning. Negroes suptxiseu to have
been drowned continue to appear and
