TRINIDAD HAS
GREAT FLOOD
Great Damage Done by Las Animas
River at That Place.
BRIDGES SWEPT OFF.
Several Buildings, Including Santa
Fe Railway Station and He.
tel, Just Finished, Ut.
terly Destroyed.

Trinidad. Colo. Oct. IA terrific
flood struck the city of Trinidad and
the whole valley along the Las Animas
river. devastating a wide section. and
causing a loss which will reach several
hundred thousand dollars. So far as
known there was no loss OF life. but
there were many narrow escapes.
Every bridge in the city OF Trinidad
is out, the Santa Fe station is demoI-
ished, all of the railroads are tied up
and the telephone and telegraphIc SER
vice completely suspended. More than
thirty city blocks in the residence and
business portion the town were
from two to four feet in water along
the river.
rhe flood was caused by the heavy
rain. which fell for two days. At s
o'clock Thursday night the storm as
sumed cloudburst proportions. and at
2 O'Clock Friday morning the Las An
imas river went over its banks. At
$3.50 IL was impossible to get within
a block of the river at this point, and
Commercial street was flooded for
three blocks in the heart OF the busi-
ness dirtrict. Meantime the electric
light and gas plants had been flooded
and the city was in complete darkness.
Hundreds of citizens thronged the
streets on the edge of the submerged
district carrying lanterns and doing
their best to provide shelter for those
driven from their homes. Warning of
the flood was given when the river left
its banks by revolver shots and the
ringing OF the fire alarm, followed by
the blowing of all the locomotive and
shop whistles in the town.
Citizens upon RATS padded through
the streets rescuing families who were
in danger. The new Bacca hotel. a
two-story structure. just nearing COM
pletion at a cost OF $4,000. was de-
stroyed. The water then made its way
through fifty feet of ground to the
Santa Fe depot. which was carried
away. The Cardinas hotel adjoining.
barely escaped a similar fate. an acre
of ground being washed away near II.
The Rio Grande bridge at Elmore is
out. and the Santa Fe right of way in
many places has been washed out.
Railroad traffic is utterly suspended.
and business is paralyzed
II was reported that the flood was
due to break in the city reservoir.
but this is erroneous. The reservoir
is safe. ~

New York, Oct. SCOPES have been
received here OF the report TO his gov
eminent of General Rafael Reyes. now
president OF Colombia. who was sent
to this country on special diplomatic
mission in an attempt to modify the
action of the American government in
regard to Colombian interests in Pan
anna. The mission was without re-
suit. The report. which is OF consid-
cradle length. severely arraigns the
short-sightedness OF the Colombian
representatives that led 20 the mis-
fortunes which befell Colombia, after
negotiations over the Hay-Herran
treaty fell through. In conclusion the
report says:
I'VE must admit that the United
States government granted to US by

ran treaty much more than we asked

Department. Of Agriculture.
Washington. Oct. 3.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has issued a re-
port on its investigation of the prob
lem OF controlling the boil weevil in
cotton seed and at ginneries. The re-
port makes several recommendations
designed to greatly retard the present
rate OF spreading of the cotton pest.
and says that such means OF combat
are imperative.
The report recommends that storage

The report says that wherever the
system of handling and ginning cot
ton is not found TO be effective in re-
moving weevils. as in practically all
smaller and many OF the larger gin
neries IN Texas and Louisiana. the seed
should be sacked and fumigated.
Farmers are urged to adopt precau-
tions to prevent the introduction Of
weevils in seed or hulls for feeding
purposes as well as I'm ginnery refuse

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine IS" is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin I'm
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There win
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
attaching all kinds of buttons, hooks
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing-machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for a thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, viii excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing-machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

AWFUL LOSSES.
Jap Casualties Placed by Russians at

st. Petersburg, Oct. 3.-In view OF
the fact that a dispatch has been re-
ceived from the Russian consulate at
Chefoo saying the Japanese assaults
on Port Arthur Sept 20 to 26 were sue
cessfully beaten off. the authorities at
the war Office discredit the Chefoo re-
port that the japanese have captured
the main forts at Port Arthur. The
Information of the war office proves
that the Japanese losses during the
siege were $4,000 killed or wounded.
