A TEXAS FLOOD.
The Town of Uvalde Suddenly Over
whelmed by Flood In the Leona River.


The Town of Uvalde Suddenly Over
whelmed by Flood In the Leona River.
UvALDE, Tex, Sept. IA terrible
catastrophe befell this thriving town
yesterday and there is mourning in
many households. The calamity was
entirely unexpected. The treacherouS
Leona river, swollen to raging tor
rent by the recent rains, rushed with
out moments warning down upon
the town, submerging and wrecking
many houses and drowning number
of people. In this section such de-
struction by the elements has never
before been chronicled. In the excite
ment of the day it is not definitely
known how many have been drowned
1t was about 2 o'clock in the morning
when the flood came. The weather
had been threatening and there were
ominous clouds to the north and east
of the town. The atmosphere had
been close early in the evening, predic-
tions of a storm were freely made, and
the citizens went to their beds not
with happy minds. As the hours wore
on and the people continued their
slumbers, the dark clouds rose higher
and higher. Just as the storm broke
over the city in all its fury, torrent
of water rushed down the Leona river,
overlooking the banks of that stream
and flooding the lowlands on either
side to depth of several feet.
Several bodies have been recovered
but it is impossible now to give the
number of casualtie
An earthquake shock of some seconds
duration was distinctly felt during the
night. At one place near the city
about a of mile of heavy cracks
appeared on each side of the river,
having apparently no bottom. A track
walker of the Southern Pacific, after
wading through water up to his neck
with his lantern elevated above his
head, succeeded in feeling his way far
enough east to intercept a west-bound
train and prevent its plunging into the
river where the railroad bridge had
been destroyed.
According to reports received at the
Southern Pacific office last evening, the.
terrible flood was augmented by most
remarkable phenomena, which was
cuuseu ny INC edrIhqudhe. Aho iO>o W
the Southern Pacific is enormous, forty
miles of track and many bridges having
been washed away. Over 100 carloads
of material and 800 laborers left San
Antonio for the scene of the wreck
The damage to the Southern Pacific ex-
tends eastward about seventy-five miles
from this city.
A thorough, but safe estimate of the
loss of property, including that of the
railroad, will, as far as known, reach

PENSION CLAIMS.
Several Thousand Affected by Late Rul-
ing of the Department.

Ing VI tue departments.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Several thou
sand pension claims are affected by
four recent rulings of Acting Secretary
of the Interior Reynolds, constituting
the act of January 5, 1898, which pro-
vides for an increase of pension from
IS to s12 per month on account of
service in the Mexican war. The act
ing secretary holds that the increase
granted under the act does not COM
mence at the date of the act, but from
the date of approval of the increase
claim in the pension bureau; and that
the increase does not apply to the case
of widows.
The act, says Judge Reynolds, does
not include those persons who COM
posed Powelrs battalion of Missouri
mounted volunteers, who were direct
ed to be placed upon the pension rolls
subject to the provisions of the act OF
January 20, 1887, pensioning the sur
vivors of the war with Mexico.
The department also holds that the
fee of s25 claimed by attorneys, under
articles of agreement, cannot be al
lowed, and no fee in excess of 81 can
be paid, as provided in the act of March

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. = Secretary
Morton is in receipt of advices from
the secretary of state of a cable re-
ceived from the United States minister
at Brussels to the effect that an order
of the Belgium government subjects
all American cattle to forty-five days
quarantine. An exception is made for
cattle en- route before August 90, but
this only on condition that they be
killed at the public slaughter house ON
arrival. DIR. ID. Z. Salmon, chief of
the bureau of animal industry, refer
ring to this quarantine, said:
We were building up quite little trade I'm

and expense We're not part of your con-
ssideration What will it cost?"
"Well, sir, 1 suppose a rude but solid
bracket road can be built on one wall
for about six thousand dollars mile. "
''That's very nearly a hundred thou
sand dollars for sixteen miles. Let us
say hundred and fifty thousand. Can
we put up an electric engine if it is
got in here by piecemeal and make
the trucks and cars if the iron work is
supplied"
Unquestionably," replied Laport.
''Then the railroad question is set
tied" said Hendricks. Now the light
ing system. NV idea is to run the fur
mace chimney through the roof where
the crust is not over ten feet thick and
carry it up at the end of the house we
are to build over the entrance. But
You will see what our difficulty is. We
want light to build the road, and until
the road is built we cannot get our
dynamo and engine into the cave, for
they must come in at the other end"
81 would suggest temporary light
ing arrangement" said Laport. 1.-The
difficulty of delivering most of the ma
terial at this end can be overcome"
Eyes, but the difficulty of transpor-
tation at this end cannot be overcome.
We have to haul our stuff from the
nearest railroad and that is only a
poorly equipped branch. 1t is next to
impossible to pull the material over
the run until roads are made and we
have the water almost at our door in
the southwest"
Nevertheless it is impossible to get
any heavy material through those paa-
.sages at present and it is not impossi-
BILE to wheel here from the nearest
point until your road is completed"
GLOW long will it take to build the
-road?"
Laport laughed. sit is question
of supply of iron and number of work
men"
Every well, we have all winter. I
will furnish you with a gang of fifty
men. If the road is done by next May
i shall be satisfied"
