Cloud Burst.

Ell PasO was treated to regular
cloudburs today. Up on the mesa at
the foot of Franklin Mountains was
where the heaviest part of the rain fell
and while Ell Paso had good part Of
it herself still the largest part seemed
to fall up nearer the mountain. Part
of the city was flooded with the wash
of water.
North Oregon street, which was fix
ed up and the cutters cleaned out a
few weeks ago for just such an occasion
as this, was unable to stand the amount
of water which came down from the
hills in great floods. AT the intersec-
ton of Main and NJ Oregon the water
came up over the railroad track and
ran on down to the Sheldon block and
was up on the sidewalk of the northern
drain culvert had been built across
North Oregon street just above the
track, all the water from that part of
town would have gone down the side of
the track towards the western end of
town. AS it was it went over the
track and on down North Oregon
until it come to San Antonio. There
it turned into the fruit stands and the
market which extend from the inter-
section of Oregon and San Antonio.
On the north side of the street along
in front of Stolaroff's store the
water is being kept out of the
doors by sacks and boxes piled up. The
water is all over the sidewalks at this
point because the cutters are mad
quate to carry the water off fast
enough.
At the Bazaar dry goods store the
water was running into the cellar and
the clerks were doing everything to
keep it out, but there was too much OF
it for them. Mclean and Keays we're
building dykes around their store to
keep the water from flooding them
out.
The hook store of Dellquest andjA IAN
drews was flooded. 1t was impossible
to pass the grocery store OF j. b.
Watson, and the drain which crosses
San Antonio at that corner was unable
to carry the surplus water off.
In consequence the grocery store of L.
Jean was flooded and he had to throw
up small dykes around his front door
to keep the water from damaging his
stock.
Persons down in the lower end Of
town had to wade almost knee deep to
get as far up town as Oregon street.

The figures show the increases in the
more important countries, and part1c-
ularly noticeable are the increaes
in Africa, Japan, China and British

for the next half century will be the

afford markets second to none. Ger

wheels to the other and the mounting

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, May 1.-The United States
cruiser Topeka, formerly the Diogenes.
commanded by Lieut.. J. J. Knapp, which
sailed from Falmouth, England, April 10,
arrived safely in port at 7:15 this morning,
after a rough passage of II days. The
Topeka entered the Narrows at 8 a. M,
where she slowed down for the health
officers inspection, then proceeding to the
man-of-war anchorage off Tompkinsville.
AS she steamed up the bay, the vessel
presented an odd appearance. She has a
high-sided black-painted hull and two yell
low tunnels, from which the paint had
been washed off by heavy weather. She
is brig-rigged. giving her heavy ap-
pearance aloft. without fighting tops; in
fact, at distance she presents the ap-
pearance Of big cargo steamer rather
than Of war vessel. The cruisers deck
is entirely bare of guns, all her equipment
being slowed In the hold.
Lieut. Knapp reported having expert
enced very rough passage. From the
time Of leaving the channel up to the banks
succession of strong westerly gales was
encountered. After passing the banks the
wind hauled to the north and blew a strong
gale for four days, with very rough
sea. The Topeka behaved well throughout
and sustained but trifing damage about
the decks. The cruiser carries a crew of
as men all told. Lieut. Knapp, when asked
whether he had sighted any war vessels
during the voyage, replied that he had not
and was not anxious to meet any, owing
to his small crew and the fact that the
rTOnQkQ'a tod bo
Topeka was saluted by several tugs and
excursion boats as she steamed up to her
anchorage.
The Topeka was formerly known as the
Diogenes. She was built for the Peruvian
government at Kiel, Germany, but never
was completed. She was taken in part
payment by the Thames Iron works, which
fitted out her sister ship, the Isosthenes
and was formally purchased from that
company by the United States government.
She is being rugged with pretty high free
board, which makes her heavy-looking
above water line. She is an excellent sea
boat and can sustain a speed Of 16 knots.
Shortly after noon today the recently
purchased cruiser New Orleans passed the
Topeka, heading for the lower bay, and
greetings were exchanged and the flags
dipped. This was the first sight of war
vessel which the officers and men of the
Topeka had seen since they left British
waters.
When seen today by representative of
the Associated Press, Lieut.. Knapp could
not be induced to make any statement re-
garding the vessel or as to what her move
ments will be within the next few days,
further than to say that he had a very
