RAINY SEASON IS ON SOLDIERS IN PHILIPPINES HAVING A WET TIME. All the Streams Overflowed and Bojs Have Three Feet of Water Under Their Bunks — Companies Cut Off From Their Regiments Dy Flood. Manila, July 10.—It has been raining and storming almost constantly for two days and the country along tljp American south and bay lines is literally flooded. The soldiers are suffering great discomfort. The Thirteenth infantry regiment at Pasay is in the worst position, being practically surrounded by water. The bridges that were used for getting supplies have been washed aw ay aud some of the companies are now separated by streams six feet deep. In many cases the men are sleeping with three feet of water beneath their bunks, which are elevated on cracker boxes. The company cooks, when preparing the meals, stand knee deep in water. Some of tbe roads leading to Pasay are simply impassable and tbe ricefields on all sides are one great lake. A high wind blew over several tents of the Second reserve hospital. Manila bay is impossible of navigation by either launches or canoes and no vessels are leaving the harbor. The United States transport Centennial is ready to sail for San Francisco with discharged soldiers, but the latter have to sit around the water front all day, drenched to the skin, waiting for a launch to take them to the steamer. The river Pasig and all the other streams are swollen and the city streets at low points are covered with water. FAIRBANKS Alaskan Boundary Party Returns to Tacoma From the Klondike. Tacoma, July 10.—The FairbanksFoster Alaskan boundary party returned from the north yesterday, and interviews with members of the party indicate that the watershed on White pass, back of Skagway and Dyea, will be accepted as the international boundary line at that point. The White and Chilcoot passes constitute the storm center of the Alaskan boundary. At those points the Canadians hope to secure concessions that will enable them to anchor down a port of entry into the Klondike goldfields. All other parts of the country thereabouts where concessions are looked for are of little importance compared with the Linn canal, which is the key to the situation. Senator Fairbanks, when interviewed, placed importance on the fact that he must sit with the joint high commission in August, but declined to state what lines of argument he would take up. He expressed great satisfaction at having made the trip. Regarding boundary matters that were discussed during the four weeks spent in Alaska, Senator Foster declined to speak.
