The Presbytery of Santa Fe is
delighted to add the name Of the
Tucumcari church to its roll and
to the list on the Assembly Min
utes. This church seems to have
bright prospects, and the recent
taking over by the FL Paso and
Southwestern Ry., Of the former
Rock Island line between Santa
Rosa and Tucumcari is giving an
impetus to the prospects OF tn e
latter place which our church is
bound to share. Bro. Warner H..
DuBose, now minister of this
promising charge, has reason for
large hopes which may grow into
reality more rapidly than even he
is willing to predict,-La Aurora.

MUCH WATER FALLS.
Arkansas yisIled by Worst Floods
In Many Years.
DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY
hundreds Of Cattle and Hogs Perish
and u Is Feared That Per-
aons Along streams We're
swept AWAY.

Little Rock. Jan. i.--The recent
floods throughout Arkansas are the
worst known in years. Little Rock
and Hot Springs are practically iso-
lated. No trains have been operated
TO or from Hot Springs since Wednes-
day afternoon. Not until that evening
was the Rock Island able 10 operate
trains out OF Little Rock, and all
through trains on the Iron Mountain
20 around Little Rock. entering the
state at Texarkana. and passing
through Camden. Pine Bluff. Fair
Oaks and Knobel.
Many families In the vicinity OF the
Arkansas river have been driven from
their homes. Hundreds OF head OF cat
tie, hogs and livestock have been
drowned. and reports are expected OF
loss OF human life. While the rail.
road entering this city have reports OF
washouts at various points In the
state the greatest damage by the
heavy rains Of the past three days ap-
pears to have been done near this
city. Little Rock Is isolated from the
rest Of the county and persons who
came 10 this city from the country dis
tricts Wednesday were forced TO re-
main IN the city Wednesday night.
All streams In the county are out OF
bank. and many of the bridges In the
county are reported TO have been
been washed away.
Fourche bottom. south OF the city.
Is filled with water, and water has
backed up into a number OF houses
along the southern border OF the city.
Twenty or thirty families have been
driven from their homes In that part
OF the city.
A number OF families residing In
the bottom lands bordering on the
section which Is flooded are preparing
10 move IN case the water reaches
their houses. With the possibility Of
the water rising higher. and predic-
ton OF colder weather. the numbers
who have been driven from their
homes win suffer.
Reports are TO the effect that sey.
eral hundred head OF cattle. hogs and
other livestock were drowned In the
spreading waters OF Fourche river.
No report was received Of loss of
life as a result OF the flood. but II Is
feared In the southern part Of the
city that one or two negroes who live
near the Fource river may have been
lost. One old negro lives alone on an
island at the function OF Fourche
creek and Fourche river. and reports
say that when the disaster came he
was on top OF his house with no pos.
slbility OF getting 10 the bank on this
side. AnOther negro was reported
TO have been sighted in a tree near
this point.
The stream AZ this place Is two or
three miles wide. and Is deep enough

MERELY PRACTICE CRUISE.
Metcaif Depreeates Talk Caused BY
Transfer of BattIeships.

Oakland, Cal, July 9.-Sccretary of
the Navy Metcalf dcprecates the war
like aspect that has been given the
order for the cruise Of the great bat
tleship squadron from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast. The secretary said
last night that the proposed movement
was that of a practice cruise and that
the fleet would not be kept in the
Pacific permanently. With consider
able empha sis the secretary voiced his
opinion that the war-like interpreted
ton that had been made in connection
with the fleets movement was not JUS
titled by the facts. In fact, the widely
published reports suggesting hostile
preparations, seem to be a source of
irritation for the head of the navy. He
said:
1.-The fleet which will be moved from
the Atlantic to the Pacific this winter
is coming to this side merely on a
practice cruise. The fleet will consist
of Is or more vessels. not more than
20 and its stay on this side will not be
permanent. OF course the fleet will
not come here, turn around and go
right back again. How long it will re-
main in the Pacific will be determined
at the proper time.
There is no sound reason or excuse
for all this talk by the public and
through the press Of an attempt to
over-awe the Japanese by a war-like
naval display. l do not believe that
the newspapers are justified or right
in so constituting and coloring the
cruise of warships to the Pacific.
Every year the Atlantic fleet has
been sent on cruise. Last year 1t
was sent to Guantanamo. This year
it will be sent to the Pacific. The long
cruise will give the men and the ves-
sells thorough test and improve the
efficiency of both"

TWO ROBBERIES.
Camping Party on Cobbossee Stream

A party Of young men, who come
down here every year from Massachu-
settS and camp on the banks of the Cob
bossce stream and who are at present
campcd near the Rips, are the victims
of someone at the New Mills probably
small boys. They left their camp
Monday for short time and on their
return discovered that most of their
tools. fishing rods and many other
things were missing. The theft was
reported to Marshal Andrews yester-
day morning and every possible step
will be taken to land the guilty par
tics.
Sometime during the evening the
United States rain guage at the pump
ing station was stolen. The guage was
evidently stolen for old junk and Is
worth about ten or twelve dollars for
that purpose. The government officials
were notified and the city marshal
also. No stone will be left I'M
turned to capture the thief and
when captured he will probably receive

ENTIRELY UNOFFICIAL.
Visit Of Japanese Admiral Is In Purely
Personal Capacity.

Washington, July 9.-Viscount Aol1i.
the Japanese ambassador, has been de-
ferring his departure from this city
for his summer vacation. in anticipa-
ton Of the arrival of Admiral Yama-
mota, who is expected to reach New
York soon from Europe.
The admiral, who is one Of the four
officers of the Japanese navy holding
that rank, is on his way home to
Japan, but will spend some time in
the United States before sailing from
San Francisco or Seattle. His visit to
this country. however, is an entirely
unofficial one. although it is expected
he will be shown some courtesies by
the government authorities, including
visit to the President at Oyster
Bay. He will be met on his arrival
at New York by representatives Of
the Japanese government. The ad-
miral is accompanied by several jap
anese officers.
An opportunity will be afforded the
visitors to go through some of the big
manufacturing, and ship building es-
Establishments if they care to do so, as
it has been unofficially stated that
was one of the purposes of the brief
stay in the United States. Admiral
famamota was one of the suite of
Prince Fushimi on his visit to King
Edward.
