Phoenix felt considerably flattered yesterday when the sun went down without a drop of rain falling all day. At times it was cloudy and forbidding as though it wanted to rain but was afraid to and at other times the sun shone brightly. Through it all there was a brisk wind and a considerably lower temperature, which gradually changed hope into strong faith that the storm in these parts was over. The mud dried very mate rially, though there is plenty of it left but altogether the situation was mucn more encouraging than the night be- fore.
 Salt river, which was wild and un- controllably delirious the day before, began to calm down before daylight and all day long it receded toward its legitimate channel so that last evening it was not unusually high for rainy stage. The greatest trouble that re- mained in respect of the river, was the fact that in many places 1t had chang cd its course and the swiftly moving current was where it would do the most damage, in some instances cut ting away much farm land that had been softened by being submerged.
 The most disquieting phase of the situation now is in respect of the railroad communication to the south, or rather the lack of it. During the night the river carried away the tim bers of a portion of the north ap- proach to the new M. & r. steel bridge at Tempe, thus putting out of busi- ness the last of the three structures that Spanned the Salt river. As later mentioned it is hop ed that this will be repair ed today. A little explanation of the situation there may prove interesting for the trouble comes from a changed

Yesterday afternoon Superintendent Bicknell of the M. & P. authorized the following statement: "Our damage can not at this time be fully estimated. We have suffered some at both the Gila and the Salt rivers. At the Salt the bridge formerly used by the com pany lost two spans and the criDbing and piling which took the place of a third span. The north approach to the new steel bridge went out Monday ev- ening but tomorrow morning at day light a force of men will go to work replacing the timbers that were car ried away.

 out the Fight.

Los Angeles, Nov. 2S.-Jack Irwin" Sullivan of Boston was given the de- cision over Mike Schreck of Chicago at the end of the twentieth round to- night. Sullivan had the best of the fight from the end of the third round to the finish, holding a safe lead at all times. Schreck, who appeared to be high in flesh, was unable to land on Sullivan with effect after the third round.
 In the first three rounds Schreck beat Sullivan about the body consid- erably, but wnen Sullivan once found a defense for the body blows, he forg- ed ahead and there was no doubt as to the result at any stage, barring a knockout.
 Kid Solomon and George Green fought a rattling ten round prelimi- nary draw. Sullivan was ten to seven in the main event.

DEATH THE RESULT
 OF INTENSE PAIN
An Injured Thumb Fatal to 5. C. He.
 Elhany.

s. c. McElhaney, one of the best known ranchers in the valley. died yesterday morning about ten o'clock at his home in the Fowler district from the result indirectly of having his finger smashed while handling hogs. He was loading them in a wag- on, and in running one up a chute in some manner his thumb was severely damned. It caused him great pain and his sufferings were such that with the very weak heart he had. death re- suited. Several times after he suffer ed the accident he explained that he was hurt in no place but the thumb but that the pain was terrible. He vomited a great deal and several times fainted away before he died.
 Immediately after the accident Dr. Hughes was sent for but he could not be located at once and he did not ar rive until after death had occurred. Randolph McElhaney, the fourteen year old son of MT. McElhaney, was with him when the accident occurred but was unable to offer much of an explanation of the circumstance. He said his father fell twice while mak- ing his way from the place where the stock was being loaded to the house both times having tainted.
 The deceased was about forty five years of age and very popular in his neighborhood and with all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his death besides his widow, five children. His mother resides at Artesia, New Mex ico, and she has been advised of the death of her son. If it is possible for her to come to Phoenix the funeral will not be held until after her arrival. otherwise it is expected it will be held today.

Senator Root Sends . Pointed Letter to the Island Americans Who Of- fered It.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The adminis- tration dashed the hopes of the little band of American colonists in the Isle of Pines who have been working to- ward the separation of the island from Cuba and it's inclusion in United States when Secretary Root after consultation with the president made public the text of 9 letter which he addressed to Charles Ravnard. president of the American club Of the Isle of Pines, de- fining the attitude of the United States government toward. the proposed for nation of territorial government in the island as part of the United States.
 The letter was very pointed, Secre- tary Root pointed out that the movers in the affair were liable to punishment from Cuba.
 About tcn time this movement was made known to the department os state a representation was made by the Cuban government including the report of 2 commission sent from Ha vana to investigate rumors of dissatis- faction in the island with Cuban rule. The report of the commission, very moderate in tone, stated that a very small part of the American population were interested in or in favor of the annexation project
 The American club or territoria! government which had been set up pending recognition by the United States based their claim upon the fact that Isle of Pines had never been for mally transferred to Cuba.
 The state department has however decided that the island never having been retained as one of the conquered possessions Of Spain went to the Gu ban government, it having under Span ish rule been regarded as attached to the island of Cuba.
