HUNDREDS WERE DROWNED.
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 ever
1000, have been drowned in a great
food at Guanajuato, mining city, the
important seat of activity by severa
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 Ia 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. Ielegraphic
communication with Guanajuato is cut
of and 1t 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 Irapuato and was derailed,
the water running over some of the
cars.
Advices from Queretaro are to the
effect that there was no telegraphic
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.

women Can Easily Solve Problem if
They Will Not Delay Their
Purchases.

Prompt closing at 6 o'clock during the
week and O'Clock on Saturday is the
slogan of the Retail Clerks Protective
Association.
The agitation which is at present stir
ring up both clerks and public is the
fact that the stores persist in remaining
open from ten to thirty minutes after
closing time.
The clerks say that the employers are
gradually getting away from the prom
ises made them and are endeavoring 10
lengthen the working hours. That the
only hope of the clerks for redress lies
In the attitude of the public is realized
by both clerk and employer. The as

shopping during the day, or az least
during the hours previous to closing
time, but SO far their efforts have met
with little success.
Lies With Women.
The solution of the problem lies with
the women more than the men, say the
clerks. for they are the ones who insist
upon delaying their purchases until a

Past Week of the War.

War interest the past week centered
on naval movements. A clash of the
rival fleets was expected daily, and re-
ports, which afterward proved prema-
ture, stated that sea battle had act
ually taken place. European experts
believe that Admiral Rojestvensky is
anxious for a decisive engagement.
They are also of the opinion that the
Japanese will try to avoid a general
fight at sea, preferring to carry on
harassing attacks with their torpedo
boats.
Operations in Manchuria were limit
ed to outpost engagements of minor
character, and movements of soldiers
from both armies for strategic pur-
poses, reinforcements over the trans
siberian railroad and their generals
are struggling with the severe task
of rehabilitating the great army which
was all but crushed at Mukden.
At St. Petersburg the war party ap-
pears to be again in full control, and
peace talk has dropped to a whisper.
