NORTHERN CLOUDBURSTS
Serious Interference With the Santa
 Fe Route.

SeliGman, AriZ., Aug. 24.-During a heavy storm today a cloudburst occur red in the mountains which caused all the streams in the locality affected to become greatly swollen. Tonight large volume of water is coming through Crozier canyon. Much prop erty already has been destroyed and the Santa Fe road. which has been working day and night to repair the damage done by the recent rains. is practically out of business. About 300 feet of track has been washed out at Crozier. New abutments and a bridge have been torn out by the rushing wa ter. The telegraph service has been completely wrecked and the water is now running over the cOmpany's road bed at Crozier.
 Railroad officials have announced that west bound trains will go east at once, by way of Albuquerque and Dem ing, N. NJ. and detour west over the Southern Pacific tracks to California. Numbers 1 and started at g o'clock tonight The Cuthbert house party special from Canada followed at Ash fork and all other westbound trains were on their way at midnight.
 Arrangements were being made by the Santa Fe company to have their trains go from Ashfork to the Mari copa & Phoenix road. via Prescott. and then to Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific. Considerable damage by wash outs near Maricopa, however. put that road in bad condition and trains could not be handled safely.

it is realized that unless the Japan csc are at once dislodged the chain of forts will be preached and the position of Port Arthur rendered critical. The report. however, is considered as re- quiring> information.
 The simple fact that the day to which a large portion of the public looked forward to with suDerstitious dread passed without the fall of tn. fortress suddenly encourages the peO- pie here to hope that the christening of the czareyitch will mark a turn in the tide.
 The report that General Kuropat- kin is about to make an important move continues to be circulated. but the character of the move is not hint ed. Reports from the front agree that the rains have ceased and that the roads are drying and the resumptio1 n Of military activity is expected. Since his retirement from SimouchenS anu the Yang Tse pass, it is estimated tha: more than 33,OOO reinforcem ents hay. reached General Kuropatkin.
 Nothing has been received from Russian sources confirming, the report that the battleship Sevastcpol struck mine outside of Port Arthur yeste-- day.

THE WAY IT WAS DONE,
The Disabling of the Russian Battle
 shiPt at SevastopoI.

Tokio, Aug. 24.-Further details of the disabling of the Russian battle ship Sevastopol have been received here. It seems that on Tuesday after noon, while engaged in smelling the Japanese land forces from a position outside Of Port Arthur, the battleship struck a mine and was disabled by the explosion. She was lowed into Port Arthur.
 The Japanese battleship Asahi was detailed to watch the Sevastapol Her commander reports that the Russian ship emerged from Port Arthur on Tuesday morning and co-operated with certain Russian batteries in lombard ing the Japanese forces on shore. This firing had been kept up tor several hours when the Sevastopol suddenly struck a submerged mine. The explo- sion caused her to list heavily to star board and at the same time she lurched forward, almost burying her bow under water. She was lowed back into Port Arthur by a tug.
 Admiral Kataoka reports that the Japanese cruisers Nisshin and Kasu- ga fired upon the Russian forts on Tuesday. They discovered that the Russians were shelling the Japanese land forces from a position near Lung Tsintsz.. The NisShin and Kasuga

MORE FORTS CAPTURED.

Chefoo, Aug. 24.-There is informa- tion of undoubted authenticity that the Japanese armored cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga bombarded and silenced the Russian forts east of Golden Hill, the entrance to Port Arthur. The forts re- ferred to are. probably the same or very close to the forts at Taipang Tse and Chao Chanko, mentioned previ- ously.
Arizona republican., 1904-08-25

Tokio, Aug. 24-The final assault on Port Arthur is imminent. Hundreds of Japanese guns continue to pour a de- structive fire into the city and harbor along the lines of the forts and en- trenchments preparatory for an in fantry assault. It is evident that the Russian lines have been weakened and partly penetrated in the vicinity of Autzshan and Itzshan forts. The en- tire line of Russian defenses imme- diately about the harbor is within range of the Japanese guns. A number of Russian forts and batteries continue to be vigorous. The Japanese death roll will be heavily in creased before they are captured. The direction of the Japanese attack ere ates the impression here that the city and defenses on the other side of the harbor entrance will fall first. The final stand will te made at Liao Tie shan.
 JaDanese official channels of infor- mation remain closed and the navy departments announcement of tn. striking of a mine by the battleship Sevastopol and firing upon the Rus s;<n forts by the cruisers Nisshan and kasuga yesterday are the only dis closures made for several days It is believed here that both sides have suf- fered heavy losses and that the final record will E'ake the siege the blood . jest since Sedan.
 The Japanese are supremely conf dent of the ultimate result Leaders of the government await the outcome in calm assurance. The people are everywhere decorating the streets and houses and erecting archs and flag Stads in preparation for a national eel eoration of the expected victory.

A PANIC IN PARAGUAY
Foreigners Getting Out of the Troubl-

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 24-The panic at Asuncion is indescriba ble. Foreigners in all parts of Paraguay are leaving under the protection of the diplomatic corps. Preparations for hostilities and negotiations looking to a settlement of the questions at issue between the rev. olutionists and government are pro- ceeding simultaneously.
 The belief is growing that the gov ernment must yield. The rumors that a land engagement has been fought be- tween the revolutionists and govern ment troops, resulting in the defeat of the latter and the capture of 400 men, as announced in these dispatches yes terday. has not been confirmed.
