DENVER, July ia special to ths
News from FL Paso. Texes. says. The
Rio Grande is pouring a greater food
Of water into this valley than for
many years before. 1t has steadily
risen for several days, and last night
it jumped up nearly a foot, covering
a large part of the lower town. This
part OF the city was supposed TO be
protected by q. well-bUilt Ievee, but the
river broke in below the termination
Of the levee and backed up nearly 10
the Santa Fe tracks.
The houses in this section Of town
are chiefly adobe. and as the water
surrounds them they melt away.
If the river rises much higher, hun
dreds of the houses will disappear into
the flood. Already more than a score
of them have succumbed TO the water
and many families have taken refuge
in the houses of their friends on the
higher ground. Citizens who live in
comfortable adobe houses in the Sec
ond ward, were hurried cut of their
houses before daylight this morning,
some of them barely getting out before
their dwellings went down.
William hermann and his family are
peculiarly afflicted. A few days ago,
one Of his two children died of scarlet
fever, and yesterday the other was al
most in q. dying condition. Last night
while watching their suffering child,
the parents became aware that water
was flashing the floor 0f their house,
so soon after midnight they took up
the child and waded through the
muddy flood to a higher place, where
they were made comfortable The
father hurried back to remove their
household goods, only to find the walls
already crumbling away. Among
others who have had to leave their
homes are 4. J. Taylor, H Taylor, K.
2. Quinno and G. Ruiz.
The Texas & Pacific railroad shops
and roUndhouse, the international
Smelling cOmpany's works and Bassett

John Pincl1ney and his family were
awakened by the food just before day
and had to wade from their house to

AGE MAN.
Was Ignorant, However, of the Sub

Light, Shed By Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Secretary
Hoke Smiths attention was called today
to an article published yesterday, charg-
ing that he had been at one time an adj
Vocate of the silver free coinage and sub
treasury plans OF the Farmers Alliance.
1t was said that five years ago he pub
lished letter advocating these views.
Speaking on the subject the secretary
said:
MY attention has just been called TO
the publication of a letter written by me
in September in 1899, TO Hon w. L..
Peek, and published at that time in the
Atlanta Journal The Journal was then
openly opposing the sub-treasury scheme,
and my personal opposition to IL was
well understood. The letter clearly ex-
cluded the idea of committing me to all
of the seven propositions which is pre-
sented although it was known that ]
did favor the free coinage of silver. /
was giving most of my attention TO pro-
fessional work at that time, and sup
posed, without thorough investigation,
that the free coinage of silver would
carry the value of the silver bullion
coined into dollar to par and also keep
silver and gold dollars upon parity
with equally purchasing power. Since
that 1 have given to the subject much
more study. and being thoroughly salts
fled that the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver at the ratio of
is TO / would result in silver monometai-
hsm, 1 have for several years openly OPP
