Buildings at Fort Brown
Threatened.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 26.-An unprece-
dented rainfall along the Mexican border
during. the past few days has caused
another great flood in the lower Rio
Grande. Advices were received here to-
day that the United States military
reservation, upon which Fort Brown is
situated, is being rapidly reduced by the
erratic river.
The post buildings, which are Of sub
stantial character, are in the greatest
danger of being swept away by the river.
Withe mattresses were constructed to-
day, but they are having little effect in
staying the encroachment of the river on
the soil Of the reservation.
The river has already changed its course
al many points above Brownsville in its
present big rise. AT one place in Hidalgo
County the river Strengthened one of its
bends, throwing a large tract of land
from Mexico into the United States. The
International Water Boundary Com
mission will have a number of important
disputes as TO the boundary to settle
when the river subsidies Thousands of
acres of cultivated valley lands along the
lower course of the river are overfowed.
