M. Webb of Brooklyn has returned
from Washington where he has been
trying to secure some small arms which
are being replaced by the new maya

the hands of the Cuban revolutionists.
That is admitted by Webb, and the

not deny it. The captain says:
1T may surprise our Spanish friends
to know that small arms intended Tor
Cuba are being sent out of Brooklyn
and New York at the rate OF about
5000 every week. None of the laws Of
this country are violated by the ship

CLOSED THE MILLS
Secretary Lamont Orders the
{. Fox River Water Power
2 Shut Off.
THE LOSS WILL BE HEAVY.
Shutdown Throws Six Thou
sand Men Out Of En-
ployment.

APPLETON, Wis. July 16.-The water
power situation in the papermaking
districts of Fox river from Menasha to
Depere, which has been strained for
many weeks, was brought to crisis
during the day by an order from the
secretary OF war shutting off the use OF
any water whatever for power purposes
until the water is raised about 20
inches, to the crest of Menasha dam.
This order will be obeyed by manufac-
turers, but will result in the almost
total paralysis of all manufacturing on
the river with the exception of three or
four mills who have sufficient power to
run their mills. The loss to this valley
by the shutdown, computed on basis
of full time and full product as existing
before the first curtailment of water
May 10, is $12, 900 day in wages, $780,
900 in value of product, with 5000 men
out of employment. The duration of
the shutdown is predetermined, an
accurate estimate of the time required
to raise the lake to the necessary level
being impossible under existing condi-
tons.

zens Nsrrowly Escape.
DENVER, Colo. July 16.-A special
to The News from Ell Paso, Tex, says:
The Rio Grande is pouring greater
food OF water into this valley than for
many years before. It has steadily
risen for several days and during the
night it jumped up nearly foot, COW
ering large part Of the lower town.
This part of the city was supposed to
be protected by q well built levee, but
the river broke it below the termina-
ton of the levee and backed up nearly
to the Santa Fe tracks. The houses in
this section of the town are chiefly
adobe, or unburned brick, and as the
water surrounds them they melt away.
If the river rises much higher hundreds
Of houses will disappear into the flood.
Already more than q score Of them
have succumbed to the water and
many families have taken refuge in the
houses of their friends on the hill and
higher ground. Citizens who live in
comfortable adobe houses in the Second
ward were hurried out of their houses
before day break, some Of them barely
getting out before their dwellings went
down.
