Stalled by High Water.

Emporia, KS, June Six Santa Fe
trains were stalled here by floods in
the Cottonwood and Neosho rivers.
The Neosho river, which usually car
ries four feet of water, had 25, and
on some parts of the Santa Fee the river
was five miles wide. The Cottonwood
river was three miles wide.
The track of the Santa Fe along the
Neosho river was under water for
about mile, the water covering the
track to a depth of ten or twelve
inches. None of the bridges are gone,
but both track and bridges became
greatly weakened. About three miles
of the Santa Fe track, between EN-
poria and Reading, was closed to

Kansas Mi1lers' Export Trade.

Topeka, June Sit seems probable
that the export trade of the Kansas
millers will be completely wiped out
by the determinations which the
European countries are beginning to
put on imported flour. There were a
number of Kansas mills which did
quite large export business in flour.
the largest exporters probably being
c. B. Hoffman of Enterprise and B.
Warlentin of Newton. Most of the
flour which the Kansas millers sent
abroad went to England.

ANOTHER GDATEMALAN CITY.
Probably 1000 Of its People Have
Perished,
OTHER TOWNS REPORTED ALSO


San Francisco, June 9.-Another city
in Central America has suffered almost
complete destruction.
The steamer Palena, from southern
ports, brings the news that the town
of Retalhulen, situated at the foot of
Mount Tacana, in Guatemala, has been
buried under mass of lava, stones and
ashes thrown from the volcanic crater,
and probably 1000 of its people have
perished
The volcano is about % miles from
Champanico and near the town of Ia
pachulo, which, it is believed. also
suffered severely.
The vessels officers were informed
by the agent of the Pacific Steam Nav
igation company at that place that the
volcano had shown signs of the i'm
pending eruption for several days pre-
vious to the outbreak. In fact, Mount
Tacana had been restless ever since
the great earthquake of April IS, which
destroyed the city of Quezaltenango.
For weeks black pail of smoke hung
over its summit, and the glare from
the crater frequently illuminated the
sky. Many of the inhabitants of Re-
talhulen fled from their homes to
places of safety, and these escaped
frightful deaths. When the eruption
broke forth in its full fury showers of
lava, ashes and stones were elected and
covered the country for miles around.
The bay of Champanico was mass of
floating pumice and ashes. The loss of
life was estimated at not less than
1000.
The same steamer brought letter to
the agents of the Steamship company,
from their agent in Guatemala, con-
firming the report of the eruption. He
also stated that since the earthquake
of April Is shocks had been of almost
daily occurrence. A few days before
the Palena sailed a small village near
Mount Tacana was destroyed, but no
details could be obtained. The volcano
of Santa Maria is also stated to have
been in a state of eruption.
