LITTLE DAMAGE IN THE CITY

Seldom in the history of Las Vegas
has SO fierce a storm ragged in this
vicinity as that which ragged for a
short time last night. In the city the
storm spent itself in an hour of pour
ing rain, accompanied by thunder and
lightning. In the mountains beyond
the town, however, the tempest was
terrific. Something approaching a
cluudburst occurred near the course
of the Arroyo Pecos, and the hail fell
in great roaring, pelting clouds. With
a noise that startled the citizens, an
immense volume of water. bearing on
its turbid crest, a great drift of hail
came tearing down the Pecos Arroyo
about O'Clock. For an hour the tor
rent roared, then subsided as quickly
as it came.
Many citizens went across the tracks
to where q good view of the food
could be secured. On ~the far side,
where a cluster of small adobes stand,
cries Of distress could be heard, and
the water could be seen dashing about
among the houses. Dead animals,
driftwood, small Outhouses and roofs
of buildings could be occasionally
seen the prey of the angry waters.
It was terrifying spectacle, and
the many anxious watchers feared
they would liaar4I Ihe loss VI human
lives. During the night report was
current that Juan Martinez and an
other were minssing, but this morning

man, Mrs. Romero, who looks after
his house. were chilled by the icy
current. AS soon as passage was safe,
a hack was sent for them and they
were brought to the Central hotel.
Pneumonia was feared, but 1t is now
believed both will escape serious
consequences

sistent rumors of a conflict between
the company Of Kansas militia guard
ing the prisoners accused of the mur-
der Of Daniel Berry and sons and 200
farmers are heard in town today. The
first word was brought by a young
settler. He said the fight took place
shortly after daylight ana before the
camp was thoroughly organized for
the days march.
Later arrivals from the ranges and
farm districts told similar stories. The
people Of the town are inclined to
take the stories as greatly exagger-
ated. though the number and variety
Of them seems to indicate battle 'pas

said here, making no effort TO reach

corner stone OF that instftution7s tounda-
ton.
The scenes of the play are on a ranch
close to the 8exican border and Fort
Grant, one Of the United States military
posts, established primarily to keep the
Indians in passive condition. The dra-
matte motive is simple, and the eompli-
cations which lead to the denouement
rational. The young wife of the colonel
many years her senior, being wearied te
the point of despair by her lonely life
has passing spasm of romance and is

the Aravaipa valley; his kind-hearted,
but peppery tempered wife; their two

must himself bear the burden of sus
picion or reveal the wife's frailty to her
husband, who has been to him almost as
a father With genuine manliness he
chooses to shield the woman and await
the future Of his justification. By thus
sealing his lips. he innocently develops
a series of crises that are highly tragic
and eventually catastrophe that halle
the movement of every corpuscle. But
when it is all over, and the sun breaks
through the heavy clouds, one feels that
in every step of the matter his judg
nent was sound and his conduct gallant

The visit of Charles NJ. Schwab,
president Of the United States Steel
corporation, to Pitlsburg, is chiefly III
furtherancc of the negotiations for the
acquisition of the mills, furnaces and
coal and ore lands OF the Jones L.
l.aughlin Steel company. II is reported
that Mr.. Schwab will make personal
inspection of the local plants of the
company, but whether he does or not
look over the mills and furnaces him
self, he will secure from inspections by
experts an excellent idea Of the value
Of the machinery and the other things
that ought to be known before puv-
chase Is made.
Tentative proposals to buy out the

before the Union Steel company was

Cuban Congress Called.

Havana, March 23.-President Pa!
ma has issued call for an extra ses
sion of the senate on March "a. for
the purpose Of ratifying the Cuban re-
ciprocity treaty as amended by the
United States senate. The reply OF
Minister Quesenda to President Pal.
mas cablegram last night inquiring II
President Roosevelt was authorized to
JOin with President Palma in decreeing
An extension of time for the ratifca.
ton OF the treaty, was that President
Roosevelt was not authorized to ex-
tend the time. and that the only way
to save the treaty was to secure Its
ratification by the Cuban senate before
March 81.
The call made by President Palma
vas accordingly issued after con.
ference between President Palma. the
vice president and the secretary OF
state. 1t Is believed that lack OF time
will prevent the document being re-
turned to Washington for final sigma
ture, and that President Roosevelt
can delegate United States Minister
Squires to attend the final exchange
of signatures. 1t Is held here that Il
is unnecessary that the United States
house Of representatives shall pass
upon the treaty prior to its ratification
by the Cuban senate.
