qregates 100000.

9Te9ateS @l,UUUsUUU.
Trinidad, Colo., Oct. 1.-Although re-
ports continue to be circulated that
several families have been missing
since the flood swept through the city
no bodies have been recovered and the
police Off icials announce that they
have no reason to believe there was
any loss of life.
The property loss will approximate
nearly $1,000,000. The damage to the
Colorado and Wyoming railroad is
fully $4,000, in addition to the weak
ening of the $4,000 bridge at Sopris,
which may fall. One thousand feet of
Santa Fe track is in the river at jan
sen and the bridge at Starkville is
gone. The Colorado and Southern
roadbed in Riley canon is wrecked,
twenty-four bridges and 10000 ties
having been washed away.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-News has
been received here from Mukden to
the effect that the Japanese have at
last begun the offensive. They have
captured Da pass and are pressing on
General Kuropatkin's left flank. The
war office is unable to confirm this OFF,
cially because Kuropatkins dispatches
are following the emperor, but the
Associated Press is informed by the
general staff that all indications point
to the news being correct. It is be-
lieved the Russians abandoned Da
pass without serious resistance. Sew
eral other passes of the Da range,
eastward of Bentsiaputze twenty-five
miles southeast Of Mukden), are also
In the hands Of the Japanese.
Kuropatkin is evidently drawing in
ais forces to the less mountainous
country northwestward, where he may
decide to give battle. In the mean
while sharp fighting is regarded as i'm
minent southeast of Mukden, whence
the Japanese are expected to deliver
their main attack, the flank move
