.NEWSPROM THE VALLEY
Confirms the Rumors That
Have Been Current Here
And Brings Joy To
Thousands
Special Correspondence of the HERALD.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
ANTHONY, N. M, May 12.-The
rise on the river that was reported
from La Joys last Sunday materialized
to the extent OF three feet at San Mar.
cial yesterday and the same at Rim
con this morning, and from several re-
liable sources it is learned that the
river is holding its own in the way OF
good big volume of water all the way
up as far as Albuquerque. The people
here now feel reasonably certain that
enough water is in sight to not only
supply all the bitches above but break
the dams and arrive here in time to
save eight or ten thousand acres OF
wheat, corn and young alfalfa that is
on the verge of ruin for the want Of
water.
AT LAS CRUCES.
special Correspondence of the HERALD.
LAS CRUCES, May 13.-The two
bitches at Las Cruces and Mesilla are
full of water at this writing, but Is ia
not generally believed to be per-
manens. Some say it is from rain
which fell in the vicinity of Garfield
and that up tn ere it has spent its force
already. Others say that it is water
which has come down the river from
Albuquerque or further up stream.
JOY AT LA JOYA.
Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
ANTHONY, May IA report from
the telegraph operator at La Joya last
night says there vas another and
bigger rise arrived there yesterday.
This makes full river of water at Ell
Paso within a week q certainty.
AT SAN MARCIAL
Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
SAN MARCIAL, N. NJ, May 14.-Tbe
river has risen about three feet within
the last "a hours and is still rising.
EXPECTANT EARLHAM
Special dispatch to the HERALD.
EARLHAM, N. M. May 1--we ex-
pected to have water In the river last
night, but il did not come. A three
foot rise has already passed Las
Cruces and We will almost certainly get
it tonight. The flow 1s said TO be
good one, and likely to last at least
long enough to save our crops.

THE CAVALRY LOSSES
Greater Than Roberts Expect
ed, But His Cart Is Bob
bing Along Toward
Pretoria

LONDON, May IA dispatch from
Cape Town says that thousands OF men,
under the direction of Gen. Kitchner
are rushing supplies from Cape Town
to Kroonstadt. Isis now believed that
Roberts will not halt at Kroonstadt
more than two days. French is al
ready rushing forward and 1t is the
popular impression that the British
army will be across the Vasl river
before the end of the week. The cost
of this whirlwind advance in men and
horses ia tremendous.
Blomep fontein, which was formerly
the healthiest town in South Africa, Is
now a vast hospital. 1t is reported
that there are $500 cases OF enter1c
fever alone. The nights are bitterly
cold and deaths from exposure are be-
ginning to be reported.
None of the correspondents agree as
to the mum Der of Tran rsvaalers who re-
tired from Kroonstadt.
The highest estimate is $1,000. From
all accounts the retreat was made in
good order. They saved all their guns
and q quantity OF stores.
just what preparation for defence
the Beers are making on the north of
the Vaal is not known. Some dis
patches say there will be very little
resistance at Vaal, but this optimism
is accounted for by Roberts 'ssweeping
advance. Absence OF advices from
Boer sources concerning Vaal defences
seems ominous.
The report that the Free Staters are
demorslized seems to be we'll
founded. Those within the zone Of the
British advance will make
no further resistance, according to
reliable reports, although the burgher
forces near Tbabs N'Cbu seem to be
holding together and may yet prove
trou blesome.
President Steyn is said to have
kicked and "ismbottked" several Free
Staters on his range over their refusal
to fight longer. He has probably gone
