CLOUDBURST
AT BERW|N
Causes Many Deaths and Great
Loss Of Property Last
Night
TWO CAMPS FLOODED
Communication Cut Of and Full Ex.
tent of Damage Can Not Be
Ascertaned Today.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 25.-Thirty-live
lives are reported lost and washed
down BerWin Canon last night. The
report, however, cannot be definitely
verified, as the telephone and tele
graph wries were swept down in the
first rush of the great storm. The
branch line of the Colorado and
Southern to Berwin was torn away,
while a vast volume of water rushed
down the canon all night long, making
it impossible to pentrate to the top
point where the loss of life is said to
have occurred.
The first report came from Hastings,
where a call for the central station
from Berwin and Tabasco gave in
formation that 25 lives were lost in
cloud burst and by the sweeping
away of twelve to twenty houses.
Communication by phone with Hast
ings was possible till l o'clock this
morning, but Hastings was as much in
the dark as to the fate of the dwellers
in Berwin Canon as the rest of the
world
Tabasco and BerWin are located in
deep narrow canon about one mile
apart on the Colorado & Southern and
most of the houses are located in the
bottom of the canon, through which
runs small dry creek. The popula-
tion of the two camps is about 1000
mostly foreigners. A flood sweeping
down the canon would catch both
camps and if it came without warning
as in a cloudburst and during the
night, great loss of life would result
The railroads were all paralyzed. The
Colorado & Southern passenger train
from Denver, bound for Fort Worth,
was caught between two washouts
nortn Of this city and near the region
of loss of life.
The Colorado & Southern lost both
bridges near Ludlow. 1t will be many
hours before the trains will be able
to pass. The Santa Fe had a washout
at Morley, west of this city. All
trains on the mountain division are
unable to reach Trinidad. The Rio
Grande is out in a number of places

competition in any pronounced form.

NO CHANGE OF ROUTE.
BY Arizona & Colorado Railroad as Re-
ported From Denver Yesterday
Will Build Through Animas.

Under the caption the ARIZONA &,
Colorado Railroad changes its route, -
the New Mexican yesterday published
news item from Denver, containing
information that that road had con-
cluded to change it's route from the
Animas to the La Plata Valley in San
Juan County, so as to run from the La
Plata to Durango, and thence east to
Pueblo in the state of Colorado. This
news item seems to be erroneous, as
the following letter from Catron and
Gortner, attorneys for the road in this
city explains:
August 25th, 1905.
Editor New Mexican.
"You published last evening, as com
ing from Denver, statement that the
Arizona e Colorado Railroad Com
pany, of New Mexico, had by resolu-
tion, changed it's projected line, from
the Animas to the La Plata Valley.
As this statement would, if true, mean
the abandonment by the Arizona &
Colorado Company of its action in the
Supreme Court against the Denver &
Rio Grande Company, and of its de-
fense in five or six condemnation suits
now pending in San Juan County, we
have Investigated same by wire, and
are authorized to deny absolutely the
report as printed by you. The Ari-
zona & Colorado Railroad Company
of New Mexico intends to build on its
line and right of way up the Animas
River, in San Juan County, New Mexi-
co, and through and across the con-
fiicts made by the Denver & Rio Gran
de Company.
THE report as published by you is
calculated to prejudice the rights of
this company, as pending for determi-
nation in the supreme and district
courts, and would certainly do it injury
among the people of San Juan Coun-
ty.
Kindly therefore, give this COM
munication the same publicity,
Very truly,
"CATRON G. GORTNER."
1t is likely that the Denver News
item was based upon the report that
the Arizona & Colorado Railroad had
another surveying party in the field,
as is shown by the following item
from the Durango Herald, under date
of August %:
"a party of surveyors in the employ
of the Arizona & Colorado is at work
running line between Hesperus and
Durango. This indicates the Colo
RADIO & Arizona will run into Durango
with two lines, one coming up the
Animas River and the other coming
in by way of Hesperus.'

TO MAKE MILITARY DEMONSTRATION.
Unless Sultan of Morocco Releases
Citizen France Will Begin
Armed Movement.

Paris, Aug. 25-As the result of the
special meeting of the council of min
listers yesterday it was announced that
a military demonstration will be made
against Morocco unless the Sultan
promptly yields to French demands
for the release of the French Algerian
citizen, a merchant named Bouzian
who was, unjustifiably arrested at
Gharb, a Moroccan town on the AL.
gerian frontier.
Instructions were sent to the Brit
ish minister at Fez, st. Rene Italian
der, to make a final and imperative
demand on the Sultan. The minister
was informed that if this demand
should be refused the entire personnel
of the legation was to depart from
would simultaneously begin along the
Algerian frontier
1t is the intention of the military au-
thorities to occupy Moroccan bor-
der town, probably Oudja, owing to its
command of the route to the
Moroccan capital. However, the Off
cials are confident that the Sultan will
yield before the threat of using mill
tary force.
The demonstration as planned is
somewhat similar to that which the
American squadron made at Tangier
to compel the release of Ion Perdi-
caris, who was captured by the bandit
RaiSuli.
