of the Southwest,

The baseball game to have been
played In the new Santa Fe ball park
Sunday. between the Browns and the
santa Fe team, has been postponed
for a week because the new ball park
has not been completed. The grand
stand Is only about half finished and
II will be impossible TO complete II be-
fore the beginning OF the coming week
The excursion to Santa Fe for Sunday
has therefore been abandoned. II IL
expected that the excursion viii take
place when the game has finally been
arranged.
The Browns are considering a game
with El Paso a week from Sunday
and this may necessltate the postpone
ment of the Santa Fe game for an
other week.
The appropriation of S1,750 for
base ball by the Fair association has
aroused lively interest among the fans.
II Is well known that Trinidad pro-
poses TO come down after the money
this year and the bigger the purse
the harder she will come. FL Pas0
also proposes to enter and Santa Fe
and Las Vegas are expected TO give
total Of at least five teams. II is said
that the Las Vegas and Santa Fe base
ball teams have walked up and are
preparing TO so strengthen the
Meadow City team as to make Il an
aspirant for first honors. while the
FL Paso team will be one of the
strongest ever sent out from that
city. The Clifton-Morenci fans have
not been heard from as vet but II Is
believed that at least one team Will
come In from southern Arizona. The
regulations for the years base bail

DAM BREAKS FLOODING
RICH CALIFORNIA LAND
Railroad Put Ont of Commission and
Thirty Thousand Acres Sub
merged.

Bakersfield, Cal, July 3.-Buena
vista lake levee has broken, flooding
10000 acres of land belonging to
Miller & Lux and the Tevis Land COM
pany. causing a million dollar dam
age. The Sunset railway has been
put out of commission. and the oil
fields are cut off from cOmmunica-
ton with this city.
The levee held back the waters of
the Buena Vista lake, covering nine
teen square miles and protecting a
body of reclaimed land extending for
distance of fifteen miles, including
the old bed of Kern lake. This land
was covered with crops of growing
grain. II will take days, perhaps
weeks, before the waters find their
level, and not until that time can the
tracks of the Sunset railway be re-
paired so that traffic can be resumed.
This means a cessation of shipments
of oil from the Sunset district, and
also puts stop to the active devel-
opment work now in progress in that
field

Death Of Diplomat Reveals Real
Cause of Franco PrTssian War.

Rome July 3.--Much interest has
been aroused in this city by the pub
lication tonight of extracts from the
published memories of Constantine
Nigra dean of the Italian diplomats,
whose death was announced two days
ago Count Nigra records a conversa-
ton he had with William l at Ems in
1877. The emperor related to Count
Nigra the events which were the di-
rect cause of the Franco Prussian
war. The French ambassador, he said,
after the withdrawal of the HohenzOl-
lern candidate to the throne of France
requested William to promise that
this candidature would not be again
proposed This the emperor denied,
and he notified the French ambassd-
dor that he could not receive him.
This same day Bismarck sent a mes
sage to all German ambassadors relat-
ing to the incident.
"The French government" contin-
ued the emperor to Count Nigra, "con-
sidered the manner in which this dis
patch announced the refusal of sec
ond audience to constitute an insult to
France, and without awaiting other
explanations, Emperor Napoleon de-

wood, Of the Powhattan guard, and
several others suffered slight wounds.
Earlier in the night some of the
soldiers who had been drinking be-
came dlsorderly and were repeatedly
cautioned by the guards. Later, when
their number had increased to about
800, they threw aside all restraint
and proceeded to do the warpath, ig-
noring door keepers, declining to pay
admission and refusing to leave the
buildings when ordered out. The
Temple of Mirth, beauty shows and
the Streets of Cairo were the princi-
pal sufferers. AT the last named place
about fifteen Powhattan guards at
tempted to restore order, but were
forced TO use their sabres to beat the
men back. Captain Carpenter and Ad-

The arrests caused demonstration,
and, with drawn sabres, the guards
were forced to fight their way through
the massed soldiers to the guard
camp. They kept their prisoners de-
spite efforts of the soldiers to rescue
them. Behind a wire fence of the
camp the guards made a stand against
the crowd.
The soldiers hurled rocks into the
enclosure. Captain Carpenter and Adj

Guard Preas, who saw the man who
threw the rock that hit Carpenter, ar
rested the assailant whose infuriated
friends Immediately attacked Preas,
beat him and rescued his prisoner.
The rescue was not effected. however,
until after the prisoner, Brashear had
been blackjacked bythe guard.
Brashear was placed in a rolling
chair and sent to the exposition hos
pital. He was later arrested there by
the POwhattan guards, but could not
be removed owing to his condition.
The guards were later reinforced
BY detachment Of soldiers from the
camp and order was restored.

met this afternoon. NJ. Bernant, who
presided, delivered a speech showing
the progress made in the rules and
usages of war through the work OF the

Holland presented two propositions

other prohibiting the inhiction OF

Two new propositions have been
brought forward IN connection with
the proposal OF the United states 10
prohibit the bombardment OF towns

By Spain says.
"The Spanish delegation. although
accepting the American proposition.
thinks Il desirable TO establish what
constitutes a reasonable ransom, and
that the refusal TO pay such ransom
should render the town liable TO bonn

such ransom should be paid accord
Ing TO current prices and this limited

The other proposition f. made by
Holland, which calls attention 10 the
fact that ports. towns and villages
