DENVER, Aug. IA News special from
Soco 70. y. NJ, says: A tremendous
roaring startled the people Of Socorrc
about clock in the afternoon. Shortly
after huge waves of water came rushing
down an arroyo which drains the eastern
slope of the Magdalena mountains and
almost encircles the town. At first II
was hoped the floods would be confined
to the lower portion of the city, but soon
the water came over above the town and
three feet of water began to rush through
tho principal street. Tho shrieks Of
women and children mingled with crash
ing of falling houses and dying walls Of
souls swept into eternity made tumult
that was enough to appal the stoutest
heart.
Terrible Havoc Of the Torrent.
All sorts Of property-houses, carriages,
stoves and farm implements, mingled
with huge boulders, railroad ties and
bridge timbers, all were borne through
the streets By the madly rushing waters.
For two hours the work Of destruction
continued, the horror being increased by
vivid lightning, crashing thunder and
binding rain. Gradually the waters sub
sided sufficiently to allow a partial in.
spection of the destruction. A scene of
dcsolation was presented. a majority OF
the business houses escaped heavy dam.

people lost everything being homeless

More than fifty houses are known to have
been destroyed, while almost every resi-.

entire city, and carried death every where
Many are missing. For twelve miles

Trade of Venezuela Is Uncle
Sans for the Asking.
All EXPERIENCED CoNsUL's VIEWS.

Germany and John Eull in Bad Odor with
the People of the Latin Anne rican Re-
public, Who Fairly Yearn to Do All
Their Business at Cur Store-Spanish
Cariists Protesting Against That Mora
ClsIm-Those FiIibus.ers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-One Of the old
est in service and most experienced of our
consuis, Mr.. PIumacher, at Maracaibo,
has made q report of great interest to the
state department, speaking freely Of the
troubles Venezuela has had with Euro
pean nations seeking to seize upon her
territory and substance and pointing out
In strong Language the splendid oppor-
tunity open to the United States to ex-
tend our trade with Venezuela at the ex-
pense of ether nations. The consul says
tina: the past year has been an eventful
one for Venezuela in her efforts for polit-
ical reorganization. He describes the op-
portunity lost by the United States from
lS3) 10 1891. owing to the refusal OF the
Venozuelans to accept the reciprocity
propositions of the United States, but
says that since the duties were decreased
he notes a slight improvement, the ex-
;orts to New York increasing from 81, ,OO0,-
300 tos7, ,500, 900.
Germans Are in Little Favor.
He attributes tho depression in Nene.
zuela to the financial and political views
Of that country, and says that if the pres
ent crisis passes the United States will
have great advantage owing to the Giplo-
matte complications with Germany and
Great Britain, our commercial rivals.
"The Germans ne says, ''arc looked
upon with but little favor on account of
the threat TO send German iron clads to
Laguayra to enforce the payment of n
subsidy due the builders of the principal
Venezuelan railway. The popular feel
ing on this point was intensified by n
suggestion in a leading newspaper that
the Germans knew very well that such
payment was an impossibility, as the
country was staggering under tho bur-
dens OF the late war, and that they neither
expected nor desired payment but, en-
couraged by the example of Great Britain,
they probably imagined that it might be
possible to secure part of the rich guano
territory US an indemnity.
John Euli intensely Hated.
''The feeling against Great Britain is
now most intense throughout Venezuela.
Pamphlets and newspapers are constant
~ being published res pecting British az.
gressions, but rs they do not circulate
outside the country the world at largo is
not acquainted with the state of feeling"
PlUmacher says that on these accounts
the United States is in much favor, es-
pecially as Venezuela, as never before
iookiTg to tina United states for council
and guidance, the people of the country
would prefer to trade with the United
States. New York is but six days from
the Venezuelan coast. He adds: ''it is
to Americans also that Venezuela looks
today for the development of her great
natural resources. and the government
would he glad to grant most favorable
concessions to companies or individuals
from the United States who come in
good faith for that purpose"

Sir John b., Thurstop, Governor
Of Fiji and High Commissioner OF
the Western Pacific, is on his way to
England with his family. Referring
to his departure the Auckland
Herald among other things about
his administration says: "For some
time past Sir John has been devot.
lug his attention to utilizing tho
islands recently annexed, known as
the Gilbert aud Ellice Groups, and
they have turned out we'll. They
stretch through six degrees for lat
tude, and have a population esti-
mated at 10000. He has established
regular administration in substitu-
ton OF the capricious rule of local
chiefs, which is already self-support-
ing. The code OF laws is uniform
with the Fijian code, and printed in
the native language, so that law and
order are now having free course,
proof Of which is the execution at
FIJI OF a native for the murder OF a
German trader in the Gilbert Group.
The civil arm was strong and long
enough to reach the murderer with
out recourse to the last argument
OF kings the guns OF a warship. A
great moral object lesson was thus
taught to the natives Of the Group
which will not be lost on them. Sir
John anticipates that in q year or
two the trade Of the Group will be
doubled, as it follows the flag"
Such able and vigorous administra-
ton Of those simple natives is what
Samoa wants, with one Power in
control instead of three that now
divide the responsibility.

Is Hawaii to be without a
cable through the action of the
United State Congress, or will
the people here awake from
their sleepy ideas and tell Un-
Gle Sam to do something or
let England have Necker Island
and go ahead with the work.
Hawaii iS-as much in need of a
cable as any place on the globe
and other governments need
the cable to Hawaii as much as
we do. Why then should the
government that feels a fatherly
interest in a country stand in
the way of its development.
Suppose the manufacturers
of the Avery Plantation Imple-
ments would refuse to send
them to this country would it
be considered a square deal?
The planters on Hawaii who
are using these different imple-
ments are well satisfied with
them and are willing to recon-
mend them to other managers.
They are coming more and more
into general use; in another
year there will not be a planta-
ton on the Islands that will
not use them. The following
letters from such prominent
managers should be convinc-
ing proof of their superiority:

DEAR SIR:-The Onomea Sugar

think these machines are indis-
pensable for the proper cultivation
OF rattoons.
We have never had an implement
that would so thoroughly loosen the
earth around the stools, and put the
soil in such condition that the air,
moisture aud fertilizer would so
readily find access to the fine roots
Of the cane and the soil around
them.
l am glad to testify to the merits
OF these tools. The Sugar Land
Disc Cultivators arrived too late for
much use in the cultivation OF the
last young plant and rattoons, but l
believe they will prove to be very
useful and labor-saving implements
in districts where cane is raised
without irrigation.
