Last Monday, July 8, was the first anniver
tiago, which resulted in the destruction or
capture of the entire Spanish feet under com
mand of Admiral Cervera, the loss Of 600
Spanish lives and the capture of about 1900
prisoners, including Admiral Cervera. The
day was celebrated in various parts of the
country and the speakers, with one accord,
gave the praise of the victory to Commodore
Schley, notwithstanding the Mckinley Ad
ministration has accorded the honor to Com
modore Sampson, who was twelve miles away
when the battle began and no closer than
nine when it ended.

Buffalo, N. Y, is preparing for Pan
American exposition in 1901. The grounds
occupy about $50 acres and the buildings will
equal those in Chicago during the Worlds
Fair. Buffalo is beautiful city and no doubt
the exposition will attract large crowds.
Niagara Falls is close by and many other at
tractive places can be visited. All the ma
chinery will be run by electricity, the power
coming from the Falls.

United States intervention in Cuba has
not resulted in making any marked change in
the conditions in the island. The war ceased
there about a year ago, and the Spanish
troops were deported a little later. Still, ac-
cordiug to dispatches, the island is far from
tranquil, and the United States is expanding
large sums of money in maintaining stand
ing army there.

Great Loss of Life Reported.
Estimated Damage to Stock and
Crops SIS, 900, 900, and to Rail
roads 100000.
FULL DETAILS OF THE FLOOD.

AUSTIN, TEXAS July 2-As result of heavy
rains during three days along the Brazos river
bottoms through the central portion of the State
and along the valleys of the Guadaloupe and Low
er Colorado rivers, in the southwestern portion Of
the State. fully 1000 miles of rich farming land
were yesterday under water. and many of the rail
roads were efectually blockaded by high water
and wrecked roads Reports today are that the
waters are still very high but are slowly receding
and it is believed that the worst is over in that
section of the State.
The Houston and Texas Central does not expect
to get its trains running for six days yet. The
track is four feet under water for much Of its way
from Herne down, and there are a number OF
bridges washed away
The estimated damage to the country tributary
to the Bazos Valley is 100000 and is none toe
high. The loss of life will be principally among
the negroes
Reports from among the bottoms state that hun
drcds of people have been rescued during the past
two DAYS by means of imprOvised RATS and thai
in each case of known drowning some party has
indiscreetly upset raft after getting on it, with
the result that the entire load was thrown into the
water.
The BrazOs had been on a boom since Tuesday
morning and had been rising rapidly all along
Reports indicate that the counties OF Hood, Rob
ertson, Brazos Washington, Harris and McLennar
We're swept by the foods. These counties com
prise the very centre of the big farming interest,
Of the State. Several thousand acres OF land wert
submerged and crops were ruined The valleys Of
the Guadaloupe and Lower Colorado rivers were in
the same condition.
Reports from every section Of the state show that
the losses TO railroads have been enormous. The
san Antonio and Arkansas Pass had 100 miles OF
is track washed away. The Gulf West Texas and
Pacific aud the New York, Texas and Mexican are
both practically tied up, something ike - miles o.
track on each road being washed out by the rains
These lines have also lost several large bridges

Suction Drew Her to Death.

DARBY, Pa, July 2.-Eigh old
George Crane, the daughter Of Baltimore Il
Ohio Railroad section boss, was killed last
night by a west-bound train. George was
playing on the platform at Boone Station, and
stopped to gaze at the Royal Blue as it came
over Darby Creek bridge. The suction OF the
rapidly moving train drew the child under the
wheels, crushing the top of her skull.
