Monday night the Rio Grande floods
caused the first break in the A., T. & s.
F. track, the current tearing out some 400
yards of track just above Los Lunas. As
result no train came in from south of
Albuquerque yesterday nor until noon to-
day. Below Albuquerque the water in
many places is within few feet of the
rails. At Albuquerque "the dykes above
the city have prevented the water from
doing much injury except tc the low
lands at Alameda and at Ranches de Al
buquerque, which were overfowed, and
some adobe houses were injured"
At Barelas the strong current is cutting
the east bank rapidly; several houses
have been washed away, large farming
district is under water and the river is
gradually making encroachments upon
the A., T. & s. F. road-bed. Above Es-
pamela, M. Larragoite, who got in yester-
day from Rio Arribs county, states that
