GERMANY BRIDES ITALY.
Financial Assistance in Exchange for Adj
herence to the Dreibund.


LONDON, July 2.-The News Berlin
dispatch says it is rumored that the
German government has promised to
influence German finances to assist
Italy in her financial difficulties
as an inducement Tor her to adj
here to the Dreibund. The formal
adherence of England is out of
the question, but her tacit support is
recognized as extremely valuable, as in
the event of war in Europe the central
powers would be dependent upon the
British colonies and America for corn
and meat, the fleets of the Dreibund be-
ing too small to cope with the allied
fleets of France and Russia.
The Paris Matin to-day declares that
the new treaty of the so-called Drei-
bund suppresses three clauses Of the
first treaty as follows:
l. That clause which compelled Italy to
send three army corps to the Alpine
frontier i'll the event Of Franco-German
war.
2. The clause compelling Austria to sta
ton troops on the Russian frontier IN the
event of Russo-German war, and
3. The clause fixing minimum peace
effective of Italy and Austria.
The three powers, however, according
to the Matin. mutually guarantee the in
tegrity of their respective territories.
An agreement was negotiated that the
signatures to the Dreibund treaty
should be attached in Berlin instead Of
at Vienna as formerly. Much credit for
the success of the negotiations is due to
Count De Launay, the Italian amtSassa-
dor here, whose task in behalf of
Italy was q difficult one. The
new alliance is based upon three
treaties, the new one being between
Austria and Italy. 1t is probable that
will remain secret. 1t is reported that
the latter does not take the form of
regular treaty yet, being only estab-
lished by diplomatic Interchange of

RECLAIMED BY THE SEA.
Colorado Desert Being Turned Into n
Part of the Gulf of California.

Colorado Desert Being Turned Into a.
Part of the Gulf of California.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July John W.
Powell, director Of the United States
geological survey, smiled when he was
asked how he accounted for the sudden
Transformation of Death Valley or
Colorado Desert into a great lake.
Only short time ago, geologically
speaking, or some time after the glacial
period, when the Colorado River was
formed, Maj. Powell explained, the
river emptied into the Gulf of Cailfor-
MIA about 200 miles from the then
head of the gulf. In proportion to
it's size and volume OF water, the Colo
RADIO is the greatest sand-carrying river
in the country. AS soon as The river
reached the gulf it began building
great dam across that body of water,
and cut through this alluvial deposit
various channels for itself. In due time
the dam was completed and became the
head of the gulf, and 200 miles of the
Gulf Of California were cut off from the
rest and became an inland lake. Evap-
Grafton in that climate is very rapid,
and it was not long before the
Colorado's dam, disappeared. There
was left a great basin. This is now
known as the Colorado Desert and
Death Valley. The Colorado River,
Mai. Powell said after telling how the
desert was made, had simply overfowed
the dam it had built and was pouring
some, or perhaps all of It's water to the
north of the dam instead of to the
south. 1t was possible that it had
actually changed its main channel and
would permanently flow into Death
Valley, but Maj. Powell thought it was
only temporary overflow. If it was q
permanent change, he added, the dam
built by the Colorado might in time
wash away, and the Gulf Of California
resume its old proportions. If it was
temporary, when the overflow ceased
evaporation would quickly make the
lake desert again.
Los ANGELES, Cal, July "A dis
patch received here says the water
around Salton, in the Colorado Desert,
is now within 1000 feet of the main
track. It came in 200 feet in two hours
yesterday. If it continues to come in as
it has been doing it will wash out the
Southern Pacific track in three days.
The deepest water found was three
feet and the shallowest in the current
fourteen inches.

Arrangements Completed for the Over
throw Of President Diaz.
San FRANCISCO, Cal, July Ga packe
of letters from a prominent official in
the City Of Mexico to a friend in this
city became public property by accident
The letters bring the startling inUelli-
gence that Mexico is on the verge of an
other revolution. and that already large
quantities of arms and ammunition are
secreted in the leading cities of the
country. The revolution has been has
tened in its preparation by the recent
death Of Gen. Manuel Dublan, secretary
of the Mexican treasury and firm
friend and supporter of President Daz
Gen. Dublan was one of the few men
who had been able TO hold the Diaz. ad-
ministration together, and now that he
is dead the reyolutionists who are about
ready to strike a blow at the govern
ment are simply waiting for the signal
to be given. The revolutionists, who
include the great mass of natives. are
led by some Of the ablest politicians of
Mexico. They will wait until Diaz is
crippled by his financial trouble with
the Berlin house of Bierschr9der, and
Will then make a bold concerted effort

tie most terrible in their experience.
This morning the streets are filled
With wreckage; houses were demolished

Men Who Went Cut in August Made Vic
tins of Il .sBlackliSt.,,

ALBANY, n. Y, July 2.-Trouble was
depicted upon the faces of the en-
ployes of the Central Hudson Railroad
yesterday. Those who wore the care
worn expression were men who went
out at the time of the great strike last
August, but were reinstated in their old
places when the strike had been de-
clared off. When the strike was declared
off by the Knights Of Labor the men
who had quit were told to go back
to their positions if they could. Now,
SO railroad men say, a list has been
made out in New York, to which is at
tached notice informing the men that
those whose names are not upon the
list may consider themselves dis
charged, The men say that their serv-
ices were required to assist the compa-
ny out of the complication into which
the strike threw the railroad, but that
now, when matters are Strengthened
out, only those who were not strikers
will be kept at work.
