rhe Valley of the Rio Grande Sub
merged by the Greatest Flood
in Fifty Years.
The Channel Changing Its Course Every
Hour-And All the Earth Turned
Into Quioksand.
Mosquitoes, Frogs and Sand Flies Render
the Discomfort of the Situa-
ton Complete.

SANTA FE, N NJ, June 2S-[Speclal
telegram. For more than mouth the
high waters have swept through the Rio
Grande Valley, and every hour the course
of the river has changed. AS yet there is
no promise of abatement, and at Alamiho
md other points the river was as high
yesterday as it has been for fifty years.
The results are growing daily
more appalling, as can be readily
understood when it is considered
that the long overflow has turned almost
all the earth into quicksandS. Wagon
roads are entirely abandoned and by the
most persistent efforts only has the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad been
able to support track ON their main
line. At Rincon the course of the river
and the entire country Is so much changed
as to be really unrecogalzsbie. Where
the round-houSe stood Is now the main
current of the stream, which turns itself
and flows north a considerable distance.
From Rlncop to Dora Ana there is moth
Ing to suggest a railroad. No attempt
has been made to rebuild
The towns of Tome, Los Pinos, Valencia
and Perafto in Valencia County, are
swept away and five hundred families are
destitute Oh the mesa The San Marcials
Is flooded, boats being used to pass from
house to house. The waters form an
ocean, and the iron railroad bridge at
that point was saved only by throwing
into the river several loads of cut stone
worth $3.50 car.
Socarro has four or five feet OF water
on Manzeares avenue, beginning AT the
depot and extending to the Ch&ttdiR Of
lice.
The old town Of Albuquerque is hood
ed, and there is water in the new town.
More than two-thirds of the crops in
the valley are loss. Wheat, nearly ripe,
has fallen, and in many places the care
fully cultivated fields are only sheet of
water. Mosquitoes, frogs and sand flies
and other pests render day and night
hideous to the people. The cost of la
borers, who are worked almost con-
tinuously by the railroad company and
are allowed double pay for night work, is
immense. Last week the majority of the
men put in eighteen days time. Train
men have been doing extra duty and are
worn out.
TIE Rio GraRde has been rising at Al
buquerque for two days. On Thursday
afternoon the stream broke through the
dixie five miles above the new town, OPP
posite Las Ranches, but 200 men and
women, working day and night, finally
succeeded in repairing the break This
state of affairs is expected to remain I'M
changed thirty days longer, as the SHOWS
in the mountains of Southern Colorado
are yet ten to forty feet deep and heavy
rains fall in New Mexico almost daily.

MADRID, June 23.--In Congress Satur-
day the West Indian members advocated
the suppression of export and reduction
of import duties; the reduction of ex-
penses from thirty-four to twentyfour
million dollars, and an early conclusion
of commercial treaty with America, as
the only means OF eytricating Cuba from
the existing depression. The Govern
ment declared that IT was impossible for
Spain to assume yearly an annual deficit
and Cuba's debt; and also is was i'm.
possible to assist Cuban aspirations for
better commercial relations with
America, which would damage the PENN
sula trade with the colonies. Straight
reform Is promised to facilitate trade be-
tween Cuba and Spain. The Government
stated that the too rapid abolition of
slavery had aggravated Cuban depres-
sion. The Cuban members were much
discontinued with the Governments

MURPHY's ASSASSINATION. - Baton
