HUNDREDS WE'RE DROWNED.
Flood Sweeps Guanajuato, Mexico
Resulting in Ruin and Death.

FLOOD sweeps GuanaJuato, mexico,
Resulting in Ruin and Death.
Mexico City, July 4.-Reports are
current here that from 500 persons up
ward, with one report claiming even
1000, have been drowned in a great
food at Guanajuato mining city, the
important seat of activity by several
large American and British com
panies.
Late tidings are that Guanajuato is
completely flooded and water is al
ready invading the higher parts Of the
town, while there is fear that Laolla
dam may give away, which would
mean complete and general ruin.
The city is built in a great gorge in
the mountains and the streets run
up the mountainside in picturesque
fashion.
The lower streets became raging
torrents as the water poured in rivers
down the upper streets. Doors were
smashed in by the force of the water
and windows were no protection
against the furious food.
A dispatch to President Robinson OF
the Mexican Central railroad says
there are 1000 dead at Guanajuato.
The town of Marafilo, just below
Guanajuato, was completely wiped
out
The raging water is carrying the
dead through every street of Guiana
juato.
In Guanajuato the water is up to
the second story of the Hotel Union.
Great damage has been wrought to
the street car line. There is only one
way the people get to Marafilo, which
is with mules or afoot. 1elegraphic
communication with Guanajuato is cut
off and it is supposed Laolla dam was
completely destroyed, but this can not
be confirmed.
The Mexican Central northbound
passenger train ran into a washout
north of lrapuato and was deraied
the water running over some of the
cars.
Advices from Queretaro are to the
effect that there was no Geographic
communication with Guanajuato last
night.
Messengers who managed to get out
of the city say the water stands from
three to four feet deep in houses and
shops in the lower part of the city
and that the citizens have gone to the
mountains carrying their valuables.

MUTINEERS CONTROL
BATTLESHIP KNIAZ LPOTEMKINE
ROAMS The BLACK SEA.
Admiral Kruger and officers Could
Not Depend on His Own Men to
Capture Pirate Ship, So Withdrew
Fires Drawn Beneath His Own Ships
and Officers and Sailors Go Ashore.

st. Petersburg, July 4.-The unpre-
cedented spectacle OF a powerful mod
ern battleship cruising around in the
Black sea in the hands of a crew who
under the rules of international law
can not be regarded as other than pi-
rates, and of the admiral In command
of the rest of the euxine fleet frank
ly confessing his inability to cope
with the situation and ordering the
fires of his warships to be drawn, has
stupefed the Russian admiralty.
The whereabouts of the Grant bat
tleship Kniaz Potemkine is unknown
here; no plans for capturing her have
been devised, and the policy of nonin-
reference seems to be at present in
vogue The situation would make a
good libretto for a comic opera were
not the elements of the plot so seri.
GUS.
Dispatches from Odessa and Sebas-
topol. which were confirmed by the ad
miralty, clear up fully the present
situation. The Kniaz Potemkine has
sailed from Odessa and is now at
large. and her crew, reinforced by
sympathizers from shore, is still in
control of the vessel.
On the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, which
cast in its fortunes with the Knia7
POtemkine after its arrival at Odessa
and landed its officers, the more loya
or more timorous portion of the crew
again gained the upper hand and
agreed to surrender and disarm the
ship
The rest of the squadron returned
to Sebastopol without venturing tC
take up the gauntlet thrown down by
the mutineers on the Kniaz Potem
kline, and Admiral Kruger, after q
council of war, finding that he could
not depend on his crews, ordered the
fires drawn beneath the boilers of his
ships and gave permission to all the
disaffected officers and sailors to quit
the vessels and go ashore.
The sailors of the Ekaterina ii
were known to be so mutinous that
the battleship was left behind wher
the squadron started for Odessa, the
whole crew dismissed and the shiI
disarmed
The Kniaz Po,emkine. which was
steering a southerly course when she
left Odessa, would within few hours
be south of Russia limits and may
next be heard from at some Balkan OIL

Review of Year

Secretary Shaw Issues a Treasury
Review of Year.
Secretary shaw has given out the
following statement reviewing the
finances of the country for the fiscal
year just closed:
THE actual deficit for the year just
closed is in round numbers $24 1000, 600
or 100000 more than the official es
innate submitted in the last annual
report of the secretary of the treasury
In the preparation of this estimate
however, an error of s7,500,O0O was
made, growing out of the loan of that
amount to the Louisiana Purchase ex
position. By some inadvertence. the
amount of this loan was deducted
twice. The estimated deficit, but for
this inadvertence would have been
1922 800, 900.
Customs receipts are about $1,000
600 in excess of the estimate. There
fore receipts have been about $500,
900 in excess of the estimate.
