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 even
1000, have been drowned in great
flood 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 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 flood.
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 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.

Trade Report.
seldom

Commercial conditions seldom
change at midsummer, and quiet mar
kets usually prevail unless there is a
movement with the commodities of
exchange in response to crop reports.
The past week has proved no excep-
ton to the general rule. Seasonable
merchandise has gone into distribution
freely at retail, duplicate orders for
summer lines are more numerous
with jobbers, now that the weather
has become settled, and travelling
statesmen send in substantial contracts
to wholesale dry goods houses for fut-
ure delivery. Manufacturing plants
are we'll employed for this time of the
year, when it is customary to make
inventories and repairs, but next week
the idleness wiz be further increased,
after which general resumption of
activity is anticipated.
This confidence in the future and
the increasing promptness of mercan-
tile collections are the best features
of the trade situation. Railway earn

ket no change has occurred, but for

PROCLAMATION BY PRESIDENT
Flags Ordered Half Masted at the
Embassies.

Oyster Bay, July 4.-President
Roosevelt has prepared the formal
proclamation announcing the death of
John Hay, secretary of state, and it
will be promulgated tomorrow in
Washington. The proclamation will
be forwarded by mail to all ambassa-
doris and ministers of the United
States in foreign countries and also
will be transmitted officially to the
diplomatic representatives at Wash
ington of foreign nations.
The following is the full text of the
announcement:
"a proclamation by the president Of
the United States.
John Hay, secretary of state of the
United States, died on July l. His
death, a crushing sorrow to his
friends, is to lie people of the coun-
try national bereavement and in ad-
dition is a serious loss to mankind,
for to him it was given to stand as
a leader in the effort to better world
conditions by striving to advance the
cause of international peace and JUS
tice.
HE entered the public service as
the trusted and intimate companion
of Abraham Lincoln, and for well nigh
40 years he served his country with
loyal devotion and high ability in
many positions of honor and trust,
and finally he crowned his life work
by serving as secretary of state with
such far sightedness in the future and
such loyalty to lofty ideas as to con-
fer lasting benefits not only upon our
own country but upon all the nations
of the world.
"As a suitable expression of ma
tional mourning, l direct that the dip
lomatic representatives of the United
states in all foreign countries display
the flag at half mast for 10 days; that
for like period the flag of the Unit.
ed States be displayed at half mast
at all forts and military posts and at
all naval stations and on all vessels
of the United States.
Il further order that on the day OF
the funeral the executive departments
of the city Of Washington be closed
and that on all public buildings
throughout the United States the ma
tional flag be displayed at half mast
Done at the city of Washington
this, the third day of July, 1905, and
of the independence of the United
States of America the one hundred
and twenty-ninth."

MUTINEERSC CONTROL
BATTLESHIP KNIAZ POTEMKlNE
R0AMS 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
stupefied 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 adj
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 it's fortunes with the Kniaz
Potemkine after it's arrival at Odessa
and landed it's officers, the more loyal
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 to
take up the gauntlet thrown down by
the mutineers on the Kniaz Potem-
kline, and Admiral Kruger, after a
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 when
whole crew dismissed and the ship
disarmed.
The Kniaz PoIemkine, which was
steering a southerly course when she
left Odessa, would within a few hours
be south of Russia limits and may
next be heard from at some Balkan or
Turkish port.

NORWAY ON VERGE OF WAR.
Ready to Give Battle to Sweden if
Provoked.

FTONOkCQs
Christiania, July 5.-There is feel
ing here that hostilities between Swed-
en- and Norway are more question of
hours than days. One report is cur
rent that a Swedish squadron is on its
way here, and that its commander has
been instructed to attack all Norwe-
gian shipping wherever found.
The government of Sweden took the
first hostile step Sunday when an or
der was issued declaring Stockholm,
Karlston, Gothenburg and Farosend
naval ports, from which all foreign
warships must be excluded.
The armies of Norway and Sweden
now confront each other on the from
tier, and any simple act is likely to
precipitate battie. In fact, it is stated,
apparently upon the best of authority,
that Sweden is secretly mobolizing her
forces.

FINANCES OF THE NATION.
Secretary Shaw Issues Treasury
Review of Year.


Secretary shaw has given out the
following statement reviewing the
finances of the country for the fiscal
year just closed:
1.-The actual deficit for the year just
closed is in round numbers $24,000,000,
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 s7,500,000 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
$22, 800 900.
Customs receipts are about $3,000,-
600 in excess of the estimate. There
fore receipts have been about $780,
900 in excess of the estimate.
Expenditure Items.
'In expenditures the following items
are worthy of note:
"The deficiency in postal receipts is
81, 100000 in excess of the estimate;
there has been expended on the
isthmian canal $1,000,000 more than
estimated, and on irrigation projects
s750,000 more than estimated; there
has been paid under an appropriation
for French spoilation and other claims
$780, 900 more tnan estimated; the wal
department has expended on rivers
and harbors 100000 more than esti
mated; there has been expended for
the Indian service $1,300,000 more
than estimated, $750,0O0 of which was
attorney fees not anticipated. There
has been paid in pensions s1,750,00C
more than estimated and on interest
100000 more than estimated.
"On the other hand the navy depart
ment has expended on constructive
work about $4,500,OOO less than esti
mated.
"The favorable showing for June
\ has been in no degree the result Of
manipulation"
