Russia Unable to Borrow Money.

PARIS, Sept l6-The scare caused bv the
reported occupation of Mitylene by Eng
land has made bankers less pliable and
negotiations concerning the price of the
new Russian loan still continue
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Russian govern
ment has requested the European Danube
commission to permit Russian naval
cadets to take passage on board vessels be-
longing TO the commission in order that
these young officers may be instructed in
pilotage on the Danube, and become fam
iliar with the navigation of that river. This
strange request, following close upon the
Dardanelles incident, causes considerable
astonishment in official circles. The Dan
ube is the chief highway for the commerce
of large portion of Europe. The request
just made would seem to indicate that
Russia would like her naval cadets to be
Instructed in the navigation of
the Dannbe above and below the iron
gate. 1t would also seem that
this to hint that she may not now con-
slider binding. for her volunteer ships ut
least, the clause of the treaty which
stipulates that ships of war" should not
navigate the Danube below the Iron Gate.

Nearly Thousand Corpses I'm Consue-

MADRID, Sept. 16.-The loss at Consue-
gra by the floods is estimated at 81, 500, 900.
The misery existing is intense. The in
habitants are compelled 10 sleep in the
open air and the food supply is of the
most meager description. Sixteen robbers
have been caught rifing the clothing of
the corpses. So far 945 bodies have been
recovered and the search still con-
tinues. The relief fund has reached
100000. Students are collecting money
for the sufferers in the streets of Madrid.
The town of Tempeque has been con-
verted into an island by the flood and
communication with it is almost impossi-
BILE.
The storm wrought immense damage in
Mureaum, Saragosa and Malaga. The
railway works at Rodna are greatly dam

many cattle perished.
gendarme at Consuegra who was an
eyewitness of the disaster says the storm
was accompanied by terrific thunder and
lightning He and a companion, on order
of the mayor ran to the river to assist the
unfortunates. With much difficulty thirty
persons were saved. The mayor arrived on
the scene and appealed to all in possession
of carts to assist in transporting the un-
fortunates to the upper part of town, but
the people were so terror-stricken that
they could hardly move to the assistance
of their drowning comrades Those in
danger seemed incapable of realizing their
danger. The houses collapsed one after
another, and were swallowed in the
seething torrent. Daybreak saw hundreds
of men and beasts struggling in
the water, whirling along so rapidly to
destruction that they could not be saved.

BANDIT GARCIA INvADES MEXICO.
He Crosses the Rio Grande From Texas
with Fifty Desperate Men.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 16.-An au-
thentic report of an incipient revolution
ary movement in Mexico was received
here today. Captain e. l.. Sandal, of the
Fifth infantry, commander at Fort Ring
gold, wired General Stanley today that
the notorious c. G. Garcia had crossed the
Rio Grande into Mexico with fifty armed
men for the purpose of melting a revolu-
tion. He crossed fourteen miles below
Rio Grande City TO the town of San Fran
cisco. Stanley ordered Sandal to take a
detachment of cavalry and investigate the
case, patrol the river and cut off retreat in
case the band returned The Mexican au-
thorities at San Miguel have been wired,
and they are in pursuit of the invaders.
Garcia is professional disturber, bandit
and raider. He is a desperate character,
who once had power in Tamiahua, but has
been out with the government for some
years. He is wanted in Starr county,
Texas, for misdeeds, and escaped the
rangers about six weeks ago, when he
crossed from Mexico to organize. 1t is
said he formed plans and started on the
raid from Charco Alemonte, in Starr

PARIS, Sept. 16-The performance of
"Lohengrln" commenced at O'Clock this
evening. The precincts of the opera-house
were crowded, but up to that time only a
slight attempt had been made to create a
disturbance, which the police easily sup
pressed. The 'claque" seats were occu-
pied by detectives. All approaches to the
corridors were occupied by the police, and
an inspector stood by each check taken to
scrutinize the incomer. Mounted Repub-
lican guards kept the streets clear. The
house was crowded, there being no special
difficulty in obtaining admission. The
overture was attended by profound silence,
the audience breaking into raptures of ap-
plause at the conclusion. The opera was
admirably mounted and finely rendered.
Van Dyke and other artists were recalled
several times and applauded to the echo.
There was noisy demonstration outside
the house during the performance. A
band of students sang the "Marseillaise," !"
the crowds responded with cries of "Vive
la France" "a bas Wagner" portions of
the mob continually making rushes
against the police Gordon. The police,
whenever these incursions became formid-
able, assumed the offensive and charged
the mob, which would take to flight in hot
haste. Then the singing and shouting
would be renewed and the rushes
and charges repeated. In some cases
the zeal of the police seemed to outrun
their discretion, and respectable onlook-
ers were roughly handled and arrested on
the slightest provocation, and then cuffed
if they ventured to make protest. Fully
$50 persons had been arrested by 10
O'Clock. Then force of cavalry forcibly
patrolled the scene of the disturbance and
cleared the streets.
Altogether about 1000 persons were ar
rested during the night, but all will prob
ably be liberated before morning. The
German embassy was strongly guarded
during the night. A party of 200 roughs
smashed the windows of the German cafe
Hanovre. A curious incident occurred In
the course of the evening. One of the men
arrested, on being taken to the police sta
tion, announced himself as Russian. He
was forthwith liberated with bow and a
polite 'passez, monsieur"
