FATAL FLOODS AT DEADWooD.
Three Overflow Creeks Carry Death
and Destruction.

Deadwood, S. D.. June CAS- a re-
suit of a heavy rainfall throughout the
Black Hills, which has continued for
nearly a week, Whitewood, Deadwood
and City creeks, passing within the
city limits, have left their banks, car
rying away a number of houses, barns,
sidewalks and lumber yards.
The Waite building, one of the most
substantial in the city, was partially
wrecked and the city hall badly dam
aged One large bridge was carried
away
Two lives are known to have been
lost, Matthew Bender, a young man of
Central City, and Guy Shoudy, farm
er near Sturgis.
No trains have been able to enter
or leave Deadwood since Friday on &C
count of washouts. The damage was
greatest at Central City, nearly all the
business portion of that town being
washed away. The Columbus Mining
companys plant was among the build
ings destroyed. A large number of
homes at Gayville, few miles distant,
were carried away and the lower part
of the town is under water
1t is estimated that the property loss
in this city and other Black Hill cities
ard to railroads will exceed $5O0,000.
The water is still high, but it is be-
lieved the crest of the flood has been
reached.

Washington.-In the presence OF
thousands of ex-Confederate and ex-
Union soldiers and of numbers of Of
ficers of the United States army and
the G.. A. r., the first formal memorial
exercises ever held over the graves in
the Confederate section of Arlington
cemetery took place Sunday. AS a re-
suit of movement initiated by the
late President Mckinley the Confeder-
ate dead now have been gathered in
one large and beautiful circle in the
southern part of the cemetery, where
the graves have been marked with
seperate stones.
The exercises were opened with
music by the fifteenth cavalry band
In a spirit of good will and fraternity
after the exercises over the graves of
the Confederate dead, those in charge
of the services repeated them over the
graves of the 1000 unknown Union
dead and decorated the graves with
flowers. The Rev. Alexander w. Pilser
pastor of the Southern Presbyterian
chruch in this city and an ex-Confed-
crate soldier. was the orator of the
day.

long time before it was discovered. 1t
started in the boiler room in the base

ing was Quilted and practically every
thing, the firemen say, must have burn
ed before they reached the scene. The
loss will be heavy.

BANDIT RAISULPS DEMANDS.
Believed Sultan Will CompIy-GratefuI

Believed Sultan Will Comply-Grateful
to Americans.
London, June S.-The Times CORES
pondent at Tangiers, says:
THE sultan's authorization to COM
ply with Raisuli's demands can not be
received for a day or two. If the
sultan fully acquiesces in the demands,
the release of the captives may be ex-
pected shortly, but that by no means
settles the situation, for having twice
succeeded in defying Europe and the
sultan, Raisuli's success will tempt the
tribesmen to further outrages.
'The presence of the American fleet
affords temporary feeling of security,
but the moment the fleet is withdrawn,
unless some permanent form of protec-
ton is substituted, the danger will be-
come greater than ever.
'The European population is CRATE
full to the Americans for having
promptly sent warships. Full conf
dence is felt that the American govern
ment will not withdraw them until
some guarantee shall have been given
that Europe recognizes the situation
and demands energetic action
