and made her dance. Quarrels among
themselves became frequent.

OF the place, asked the young men te
behave themselves. They laughed al
him.
AT this moment another woman enter
ed the place and spoke to the blond
woman on the table, addressing her as
May Johnson.
Drive her away, Red" said the
blonde playfully to one of the men.

the newcomer. Then the fighting began
in earnest.

Opportunity at Port Arthur.

1t was the destruction Of two good
warships in Chemulpo harbor and the
disabling. on the same night, Of two bat
tleships in Port Arthur harbor that
gave Japan the balance OF power on the
sea at the beginning of the war.
Those who know the great ability of
the naval officers, the excellent training
of the fighting men and the splendid
condition of the fleet look for brilliant
success previous TO n fight by the great
battleships. Long before Rogestvensky
makes his way to the China sea, ship
after ship may be cut out OF his splen-
lid fleet. This is the mission of Uriu
and -.the Lion of the JaFanese navy

Movements of Togo
Yelled at Tokyo

TOKYO, April 13.-While the Japanese
imperial government VIII not give
reasonable clue to the movements of the
combined fleets under the command OF
Togo, Kamimura, Kataoka, and Urfu,
1. can be said upon official authority
there is no truth in the reports cabIed
here from Paris that the battleship
squadron and the cruiser division was
engaged yesterday morning of Great
Natuna Island with Admiral Rogest-
yenskys warships.
The report excited derision In the
a0miralty office, but it would not oe
wholly surprising to learn that Uriua
squadron OF two arnaored cruisers. three
protected cruisers Of the first class and
two torpedo f1otillas had attacked q
division of the enemy.
Ur:u Commands Flying Squadron.
The naval chiefs here do not throw
out this suggestion, but it is neverthe-
less true that Uriu is in command OF
the flying squadron, and it Is known
definitely here that his ships were as
far west as British Borneo on Friday
of last week HIs Is the scouting dtyi-
sion of the greal Japanese feet, and the
admirars American training and Japa-
nese dash migag. have made the oppor-
tunity.
There is no confirmation, however. oe
any engagement in the China sea- and
il would be surely known. as there is
no manner Of .iou5t that the movements
CT the fleet are sent every day to the
Tokyo government.
This was true when they were before
Port Arthur and in the Sea of Japan.
The battle with the Vladivostok fleet
was sent while the engagement was in
progress in fifteen-minute bulletins

The government has the most expert

lily flash the news of sea battle. That
! a clash will come long before the main
battle is a certainty. and it will not be
at all surprising should the japanese
navy in a night dash disable two or
three of the most formidable ships in the

union invite the gallant sons of Mars to hold their next national reunion in. this city, upon the oc- casion of the unveiling of the Rough Rider monument; for, beyond ques- tion, the occasion makes this the logical point for such reunion, and there is no room for doubt but that here it will be. Hence. let us pro- ceed right now, with this idea in view, and there is no reason why the field of aid for the monument itself should be confined to the boundaries of this territory, for the Rough Riders fought for the Stars and Stripes of this whole union :; and while Arizona has no star in the flag, "Buckey" O'Neil gave his life that there might be such another star, and the people of the states which have stars on the flag can we'll afford to honor the memory of Arizonans whose patriotism inn pelled them to fight for a govern ment which has so far failed to do Arizona the justice to admit her to the sisterhood of states, and many of the people of those states will do so if the matter is brought before them, for at no time in the history of the world have any people failed to do honor to the memory of those who laid their lives down in the cause of their own country, and the American people will not fail to do so in this case.
 The unveilipg of this monument in Prescott and the national reunion of the Rough Riders in this city will be the occasion of excursion rates on railroads, and the cooper ation of the railroad people in this move should be looked after, for the occasion will be one full of promise for Arizona and her people.-Pres- colt Courier, Mar 24.

Old Time Arizona Floods

We will state for the information
 of those who imagine that the pres ent flood period is the greatest ever
 known in the history of this section that it was exceeded by the rain
 period of 1884. At that time the rain storms commenced on the 7th of January and continued till May 7th. The Gila river was, at that
 time, past fording for 90 consecu- tive days, and the total rainfall here was twenty inches. We have very vivid recollection of that phenomenal storm period, as we were prospecting in the vicinity of the old Ajo mine when the rain commenced, and it continued IT days without intermission. We had to cut mesquite and greasewood brush and pave the road with it to get across the valley from the Vekol mines to Casa Grande and was ten days in covering a distance of only thirty miles with only light spring wagon. We reached home April 20, and the next week a cloudburst which fell on the mesa a few miles south of this point sent flood into Florence that washed down a num- Der of buildings We were then publishing the old Arizona Enter prise, and our building went down, burying our printing plant under about two feet of mud. We ground sluiced for type about two months thereafter The Indian historians told us then that such rain periods occurred at intervals of twenty years, and the present storm season verifes their statements.-Flo Florence Blade.
