He made this announcement this forenoon; have said all along." he continued, "that I did not want to go to the Philippines unless it waa clearly demonstrated that it was my duty to go. I do not think; it as, and 1 shall not go.

Nothing has occurred to change me determination in' this respect I have not told anyone that I waa going and things remain as they, have been." Colonel Durbin is inclined to think that Iadiaha will receive more than one capr aln and one first lieutenant in the skeleton regiments for the Philippines. He says there will be 440 officers to be appor. tloned to the various States, not counting lieutenant colonels and surgeons'. This number, he thinks, will give Indiana more than two officers. He eay nearly every commissioned officer who went' out with any of the.

Indiana regiments' is anxious to go back Into the service. He thinks Captain Allen, of Frankfort, stands about aa good a show of going as any of the other applicants. 'Tf Indiana is hot to have a colonel, and If all the colonel for the. new Philippine regiment arc be taken from men in the regular service," Colonel Durbln said. "I think the: President could do no better than to commission Major Borst, an Indiana Than, who is now under General Wilson, at Matanzas, Cuba.

1 a thorough soldier, and never wanted to be put on detached duty. He is an excellent roan for the place, and would make a good record for the State. Colonel Durbin referred to Joseph Borst, of New Albany. Colonel Durbln declines to "talk politics:" It is a noticeable fact, some of his "good friends" observe, that he has been making many visit to different parts of the State. "What's the use of candidate announcing thcjnselves so early?" he said to day.

It wa said by those in authority at "the War Department to day that CoL W. T. Durbin, of Anderson, who was slated last week for colonel of one of the new regiment in the Philippines, would not be appointed. This change 'Of program is due, it is said, to the conclusion of the President to appoint only regular army officers as colonels, but it 1 not improbable that the opposition to Colonel Durbln from his own State had something to do with it Strong representations were made by a few leading Republican against Durbln' appointment WITHIN A WEEK Indiana Men Can Enlist Thomas. nt Ft.

SCHURMAN'S DISPATCH. Authorities Gratified at HI Report of Existing Conditions, 1 New York July 6. A special to the Her ald from Washington says: The departure of President Schurman will leave at Ma nila three members of the Philippine commission Major General Otis, Prof. Worcester and Colonel Denby. It will be the duty of the two last named to con tlnue the work of establishing home rule within the lines held by the administra tion troops.

In the hope that the example will be followed by Filipinos outside of the lines, and show them the beneficent purposes of this Government Professor Worcester and Colonel Denby will also aid General Otis 'in the conduct of any peace negotiations which may follow future op erations of American troops. Mr. Schurmn's dispatch Is. on the whole, very encouraging, ana tne autnon ties are much gratified at the condition he reports having found at the points visited. It la evident from what the officials 'say that Mr.

Schurman believes the suppression of Agulnaldo's Insurrection rneaus the establishment of peace throughout the archipelago. He Is confi dent that many of the people throughout the southern Inlands do not openly express themselves In favor; of an American protectorate solely because of their fear of Agulnaldo and his Tagal army. Mr. Schurman speaks well of the Sultan of Sulu. and it Is evident that he feels that there is no danger of trouble from him In case the United States observes the treaties which exist between him and the Spanish government.

Schurman makes a number of recommendations regarding home rule for some oflthe southern Islanders, and they will probably be adopted by the President The oondluona in Negros were found to be of a highly satisfactory character by Mr. Schurman, and home rule will undoubtedly be given Immediately to the feop)e of that island, although some mod flcatior.s in the plan of government they submitted to the president of the commission ere necessary before they received his approval.

It read: "River falling slowly since o'clock yesterday afternoon. Conditions here ter rible. Everything in country swept away.

Large number of lives lost In Looks like starvation for those left Situation ha not been exaggerated. Several days before line repairs pah be rnada with. anything like system." This telegram was received over the first wire that has been worked Into Sea ley and Dewey for three day. It' worked five minutes and then failed. Deputy Sheriff Swearlnger, at Sealey, telephoned at noon as follows: "There is no improvement In this sec tion of th flood district If anything, the situation 1 growing worse.

JTameo Colllnson Tells, of tho Dam age ronght. Galveston. July 4.

Jame; Collln son. superintendent of machinery for the Santa Fe railroad, with headquarters at Cleburne, arrived In Galveston laat night on the last through train the roadnhaa been able, to run. The train came'over its own rails to Rosenberg, and then took the tracks of the Southern Pacific into The Brazos river at Rosenberg is running wild, Mr. Colllnson says, and the force and power of the flood can not be Imagined without being seen. With regard to the ultimate damage of.

the flood, however, Mr. Colllnson is. very optimistic. He thinks the damage haft been very greatly overestimated, and that the loss to crops In the bottoms will be counterbalanced by the Increased yield on the. uplands.

He left at noon to day on a special train for the flooded district, car rying provision for the destitute. At Sunnyslde, twelve miles from Brook shire, the Brazos river is ordinarily two hundred yards wide. About parallel with this and two and a half miles away is Elm creek, which is seldom over thirty feet wide, and in midsummer often dry. The two streams are separated by low bottom lands, and are now united, making one vast river between five and six miles wide and from sixty to seventy feet "deep. Along the currents nineteen people were rescued yesterday In a skiff sent from Houston.

The people were demolishing their sheds and out houses and making boxes which they used for boats. Cattle were, found resting their heads In tho boughs of trees, making a pitiable struggle for existence. A roan named Eckert. who wa out in a boat, saw two houses coming down the stream. In 'one of them was a man and two women and on the other a woman and five children who werej clinging for life.

The unfortunate people called loudly to Eckert to rescue them, but he says would have beer, suicidal to risk the awful current with his little boat One of the houses was a fine two story building and the other was a smaller" dwelling. They passed on with the foaming, current and may have struck an 00 stri'ctlon and been smashed to pieces or found their way into the gulf. Twenty five row boats, fully manned and provisioned, left here to day for the section overflowed to assist In saving life and property. i Govet nor Sayres ha been asked by Rerresentatlve Wheellsa to call a special session of 'the Legislature to rellev the distress in the flooded section. FLOOD DAM ACE.

Largo Quantities of Cotton Destroyed by the High Water. New York, July The new of th flooding of the cotton field in the Brazos valley, Texas, while not tending appreciably to lower quotation on the Cotton Exchange, had the effect of steadying price. The broker are waiting lor fuller reports of the extent of the devastation before estimating the effect of the floods upon the cotton trade. Several large dealers who were spoken to at the exchange said that the' consequences, of the submerging of the cotton fields would not be felt immediately. The result mostly to be feared, they said, was the probability of the ground being useless for replanting purposes.

If that should prove to be the case, the cotton trade may for some time be affected to aome extent, but not considerably, for tha reason that the plantation now under water yJeld a very small proportion of the total cotton output of this country. Henry Hentz, one of the, leading cotton mjfn of this city, said: eleven counties south of Waco, through which the Brazos river passes. It estimated, produce' 450.000 bales of cotton, but I do not believe that the whole crop has been lost. It is hardly conceivable that the entire counties have been flooded, and, in fact I have received dispatches stating that the first reports of the disaster were exaggerated. A telegram which has Just come to me from Farts, states that the estimate of the damage Is put down to 200,000 bales.

When it is considered that this amount is less than 2 per cent of the total output of cotton in this country last year, the loss, after all. Is notj serious. Moreover, the rains which flooded the low lands, will be beneficial to th high lands." The optimistic view taken by Mr. Hentz is no solace to the shipping line that carry freight between this port and Texaa. "The overflowing of the Brazos river." one of the officials of the MaMory steam ship line said, cause very severe losses to the snipping companies Tunning to lexai.

Take our Hue, for Instance. We carry mora cotton than any other kind of freight, and if the destruction to the plantations Is as great as has been reported, it will be a hard thing for us and for commerce generally between this port and Texas." Many of the local bask have corre spondents in Texas, but none of them Is yet able to estimate how much. If anything, they are likely to lose through the destructive floods In the Lohe Star fitate.
