AN OPERA BOUFFE WAR
Parasuayan Insurgents Catching the
 Government Cabinet.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 19.--The insur- gents have seized another steamer which had on board the minister of war and a small escort. The minister and his companions were made pris- oners.~ The vessel was towing four lighters laden with 19Q bullocks for the garrison. These were confiscated At the conference on board q vessel of the insurgents after the bombardment of Asuncion last Wednesday between the ministers of Argentina, Brazil, Italy and France and the insurgent leaders, the latter said that after the ministers left the vessel they would fire two more shots, one at the resi- dence of President Ezcurra and the other at the church, concealing the battery, in order to demonstrate the eXcellency of their artillery. Ten shots were fired and both the presidents residence and the church were hit. No further bombardment has been report ed. The insurgent commander with 2,o00 land forces is approaching Asun- cion. One of the insurgents steamers has sailed for the Villa Haya, north of the capital. Villa Haya is the only point which can now be communicated with; Asuncion is completely isolat- ed.
 The foreign ministers have offered their intervention, to whose offer the insurgent leader replied that he would permit President Ezcurra to continue in office but would demand the resig nation of the ministers and other high officials of the government.
 The insurgents terms were conveyed to the government officials and prompt ly declined. The insurgents then sent an ultimatum, demanding the surren der of the capital within A hours, say ing that should this demand not be granted the bombardment of Asun- cion would be resumed.
 A dispatch from Buenos Ayres Au- gust 12 said that the insurgents had captured a steamer of the government and that the acting minister of war, who was on board, attempted to escape by jumping overheard and swimming to the river bank. He was, however,

A TEMPE BOY Is LOST
The St. Louis Police Engaged in a
 Search for Him.

St. Lodis, Aug. 19-(SpeciaI)-The police today conducted an extensive but fruitless search for Guy w. Mich ols of Tempe, Ariz. The proprietress Of a boarding house at 1912 Olive street today said that Nichols had arrived there on July 19. He paid weeks rent in advance and went out and purchased new suit of clothes and a violin. Two days afterward, when the landlady went to his room, his suitcase and other effects had been removed. She decided he had returned home.
 A week later letters began arriving from Tempe. The letters were return- ed to their senders, whose addresses appeared on the envelopes. About a week ago he returned to the house. Several persons were in the hallway and when he arrived he spoke to the landlady, who told him of returning letters. While she was speaking to an applicant for a room, he disappeared. She believes he is living in the vicinity and thinks she has seen him pass her Goor in the last few days.

Several Lives Lost in a
 Rush of Waters
A FEARFUL CLOUDBURST
There Was Great Damage to Property of the Southern Pacific-The Town Cut Off From Communication With the Rest of the World.

Fl PaSo, Texas, Aug. 19.-A cloud burst at Globe, Arizona, has result ed in several deaths and much de- struction of property. Wires to the section affected are down, but a mes senger arrived at Bowie, Arizona, says that w. T. Mitchell, a railway ma chinist, and his wife and five others gre known to have been drowned, Charles Sims, a young man who board ed with w. T. Mitchell and wife; Mrs. Hurd and Miss Moody, who also lived at Mitchell's house, an old man named Unvcle John Epley. and E. D. Wilson, railway clerk. Only five bodies so far have been recovered. The bodies of Sims and Epley are still missing. Sims lost his life trying to save Mrs. Hurd. One re port says nine are drown ed. The most of the drowned were Americans.
 Wednesday evening about o'clock heavy rain storm and cloud burst occurred that sent d terrific stream of water through the streets of the town and which did a large amount of dam age to property. The greatest loss, however, Is that of life. which amounts to eight men, most of whom were Americans. IL is stated that up to last night five bOdie shad been recovered, and that there were others still miss ing and are supposed to be under the debris farther down the stream.
 The heaviest loser Of property is the railway which maintains d small shop and roundhouse at that point. These were badly damaged by the flood and three-quarters of a. mile Of the track was washed out The line was tied up and unable to get trains through to Bowie, where it makes connections with the Southern Pacific.
 A later report says that the flood was the greatest in twenty years and that another heavy rain is falling tonight.

Arthur say that Pallugchang although retaken by the Russians had not been occupied by either side. The Russian batteries have contented themselves with preventing the Japanese from oc- cupying this position and planting guns which would command the Russian warships in the harbor.
 Russian naval officers believe that the Japanese battleship Mikesa was sunk in the engagement of August 10. They declare that while the Japanese concentrated their fire on the Care witch the Russians centered theirs on the Mikesa, AdmiTLl Togo's flagship. It $ the Mikesa which the RetviZan attempted to ram during the fight. The Retvizan had been receiving a gruel- ling and her captain suddenlg gave an order to steer into the midst of the Japanese vessels and head for the Mi- kasa.
 So fully surrounded was the Retviz- an that at one time she was using every one of herI guns. One Jap anese shot rendered her turrct un- workabl' . but repairs were made in ten minutes.
 Commercial business at Port Arthur is said to be at complete standstiu. People are living in bomb proof houses. The belief on both sides Of the cOntendinC forces that the other side is abusing the Red Cross, has led to feeling that that emblem is of lit tie protection. The Russians claim that Japan has used the flag to cover accommodating parties. Recently Q Russian sharpshooter noticed Japan ee officer and a party of thirteen carry ing Red Cross flag. He reported that Ee believed the Japanese were sham ming that they were wounded. The Russian officer in command gave the sharpshooters permission to fire oa thenS The sharpshooters killed or wounded all of them. As fast as one dropped the Red Cross flag another one picked it up.
 It Is also reported that the Japan ese attempted to deceive the Russians into touching off their electric ground mipes by driving cattle over them m the darkness. This ruse, has it is said resulted merely in affording the besieged fresh supply of beef
 The Russians declare that Tushan is doing the Japanese but little good ay they are frequently driven from that position by artillery fire. They are l also unable to mount guns Among the buildings in Port Arthur which have been destroyed by shells are the Russian church and Clark and Sons warehouse.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Acute anx- iety prevails regarding the situation at Port Arthur on account of the des- perate character of the fighting report cd as taking place, though the war of- fee does not seem to believe that the danger of the fall of the fortress is so imminent as is generally asserted. According to adViceS received by the war office there is still an ample sup ply of ammunition and provisions there. While it is realized that the Japanese probably outnumber the de lenders six or seven fold. the great strength of the Qualifications, it is believed, will do much to make up for the disparity in numbers. Upon one point there is absolute un1nimit / here. namely. that if the fortress falls the fleet will not fall into the hands of the Japanese. On this point the ad- miralty's instructions are of the most imperative character.
 Vice Admiral Prince OuktOmsky has been ordered, should the worst come, to sally forth for a death struggle. and there is no question here that these instructions will be carried out both in letter and in spirit, but if for any reason a final sortie proves to be inn possible the admiral is to destroy his ships and to make certain that their wreckage shall be abso' 'Itely irrepara- blc.
 In the meantime Admiral ROjestven- sky's Baltic squadron, including the battleship Orel, is standing off CrOH- stadt with steam up. It is quite pop ularly expected that the squadron will sail at any hour and it is quite true that it Is ready for immediate depdr- ture, but regarding the question of sailing there is a difference of opinion among naval authorities. It is held or one hand that the immediate sail ing of the squadron would be the best policy on the theory that should they arrive within two months it would find Vice Admiral Togo's fleet in an infin- itely worse condition than if the Jap ancse were allowed the whole winter to repair and refit their ships.
 Advocates of an immediate sailing hold that the port Of ladivostck is capable of receiving the squadron even should the entrance into Port Arthur prove to be impracticabie and they wish to treat the Port Arthur squad ron for the present as a negative quan- tity, letting the Baltic sea vessels meet the Japanese in their present weaken ed condition without relying for any certain assistance on either Vice Ad- miral Ouktomsky or Vice Admiral Skrydlof.

SEVEN KNOWN DEAD.

Fl Paso, Texas. Aug. 19.-The cloud burst is the worst Arizonl has exper- fenced in twenty years. There are se- ven known victims of the storm. A special from Bowie tonight says one wire worked into Globe d short time today and the operator confirmed the report that seven bodies had been re- covered. Property damage is heavy especially in the Gila valley. The Globe and Northern rail- road which suffered great dam age to its shops and had three fourths of a mile of track washed out including its bridge over PinaI creek A rise in the stream did most damage. The cloudburst fell in the Pinal mountains filling Pinal creek, which overflowed at Globe. IL will be several days before trains can enter Globe, as the railroad must be practically rebuilt for a great distance.
