Fifteen LIVES ARE
LOST IN A CL0UDBURST

Many were saved by catching hold of
pieces of timber and navigating them
into eddies formed by the swift cur
rent, where they were drawn ashore.
Spath and FuleisstinS managed to
mount their horses. They rushed into
the water and swan their horses TO q
house where four little girls were
screaming for help. Each rescued two
of the children, whom they took upon
their horses.
The animals were swept away, how
ever, in a noble effort to stem the swift
current, and ali were drowned.
Water has flooded the tracks of the
Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe railway for
miles around, and all traffic is stopped.

cept the Middle of-the- Road Populist,
which, it is believed, was called for the
purpose of influencing the regular Pop

The Democratic, Silver Republican

purpose of facilitating a harmonious
fusion of the three parties, which would

Work Against Fusion.
There are Hanna influences at work
to defeat any satisfactory and har-
monious plan of fusion. This OPPOSE
ton will be confined to efforts to in
duce each of The three parties to de-
mand an unfair share of the nomina-
lions and to effect a division of the
offices that will be unsatisfactory to

of the delegates themselves have been
induced to put forward impossible and
impracticable schemes. with a view to

fusion as Will defeat fusion, but the

a Special Cabinet Meeting Was
Called on Receipt of Chinese News.
A special cabinet meeting was called
on receipt of today's news and the pos
sibiIities of reinforcing the troops in
China were discussed. There was no
disposition shown to withhold these
troops; the only question was as to the
amount of additional force available.
That was a technical question, so it
was left to the war department Of
ffcials to decide The only point laid
down was that the government would
send forward all the troops that could
be spared at this time.
Technical men have made objection
TO the further conduct of the Chinese
campaign with an International force
without some working understanding
as to the duty of each power represent
ed 1t was suggested that an interna-
tional conference be called hastily at
one of the capitals-London, Berlin.
Paris or Washington. to define the part
to be taken by each power and the
quota of troops to be furnished, and to
arrange for the selection of command
er in chief of the allied forces.
This suggestion did not meet with
favorable reception. 1t was felt by the

send what force it could dispose of to
China as far as seemed necessary
and should not make agreement with
other powers as to the number.
The reinfOrcements would be limited
only by the ability of the government
to spare troops from those commands
now in the United States and Cuba
The estimates varied, but the gen
eral opinion was that somewhere be
tween 1000 and 5000 could be shipped
to the east from Cuba and the United
States, in addition TO the troops already
under arms.
Number En- Route Is 1865.
A statement prepared by Adjutant
General Cnrbin shows that there are
now grand total of 1855 officers and
