lest hail storm seen in this city for
many years started at O'Clock this
afternoon. Hail stones that weighed
more than three ounces fell to depth

injured by being struck with big hail
stones. Two Mexican children living

FLOODS FOLLOW CLOUDBURST,
Colorado Towns Practically Wiped Out
by the Raging Waters.

DENVER, May pa cloudburst at
the head of the Cache La Poudre river
caused the stream to overflow its
banks, and meagre reports received
here indicate that great damage has
been caused by the flood. The rush
OF the flood caused the dam which
holds the water of Livingston lake, IS
miles above Fort Collins, to break
and this added volumes of water to
the food, which swept down the Cache
La Poudre, practically wiping out the
towns of Livermore and La Porte,
spectively thirteen and two miles
above Fort Collins.
At Fort Collins the river is now
more than a mile wide, and the Rus
sian settlement, consisting of about
800 families. is inund ated. Already a
number of the frame dwellings OF
these people have been swept from
their found ations and sent swirling
along with the flood. In several in
stances the occupants were unable to
make their escape and were carried
along.
The towns Of Livermore, Belleview,
La Porte, Wellington and portion
of Fort Collins, are under from to
5 feet of water and in some cases the
water reaches to the caves of the
houses. Five iron wagon bridges and
two railroad bridges in the vicinity of
Fort Collins, have been swept away
, and two miles of the Colorado &
Southern tracks washed out. Several
thousand acres Of beets and vege-
tables have been destroyed and hun
dreds of head of livestock drowned.

with devices to help things along. The

Thayer Is Manager of Amalgamatcd

BOSTON, May 20.-State street fnan.
ciers say today that the real reason
for the retirement of Henry H. Rogers
from the active management of the
Am lgamated Copper company and
the turning of its affairs over to Ben
jamin F. Thayer is that ohm D. Rock
efeller and his associates in Stand ard
Oil are displeased with Mr.. Rogers
on account OF the legal notoriety in
which Amalg amated has been drawn
in the cooper war;" His retirement
is considered as having been forced
as a ''disciplinar measure" on the
part of Mr.. Rockefeller, who is the
strongest factor in Standar Oil af-
fairs.
While Stand ard Oil is not implica-
ted in the controversy, the interests of
the two are so closely interviewer hat
the publicity shed upon Amalga gamated
fairs was altogether too illumina-
ting for Standa Oil interests.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING,
RUSSIANS ARE ENCOURAGED
Recent Losses Suffered BY Japancs.
Cause Rejoicing at St. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 20 The re.
joicing over japanese losses off Port
Arthur continued today, large crowds
taking possession of the principal
streets and cheering. The sinking of
Japanese warships is attributed to
Russian torpedo boats and not float
ing mines. The Russians are jubilant
over the reported victory near Feng
Wang Cheng, and consider that, it
being Emperor Nicholas birthday ,
the victory is ''good medicine for
the Japanese.
The disasters sustained by the Jap.
anese feet have strengthened the ma
tional spirit and the officials carefully
point out that they restore in a meas.
ure the prestige lost by the past un-
tarnished success OF the enemy.
Should the persistent reports of the
japanese army having been driven
back to Feng Wang Cheng prove true,
then the authorities anG the people
will feel that Russian progress has
been vindicated and that the TWO bel.
ligerents can recommence the war
upon more equal footing.
NEW CHwANG, May 20.-The stories
of the Japanese retreat to Feng Wang
Cheng are officially confirmed. The
japanese, numbering 10000 men, came
upon 1000 Russians in strong posi-.
tion on Monday, sixty miles west of
Feng Wang Cheng. 1t being unwise
to risk battle, the Japanese retreated
in good order and with great rapidly
An unofficial Russian authority
says a pitched battle was not fought,
but rumor says there was consider
able loss on both sides during the
clashes, with the Cossacks harassing
the tianks OF the Japanese. The di.
vision, presumably, was executing a
reconnaissance. The pursuit was
checked when the main body of the
Japanese was rejoiued.
