Rio Grande Rises.

The Rio Grande began to rise at
2 O'Clock yesterday morning and
up to 3 O'Clock this afternoon had
risen 1-2 feet, according to ac-
curate measurements made at the
pumping plant of the Brownsville
Irrigation Company, five miles
above this city. The river is still
rising fast.
1t is reported that the San Juan
river which runs into the Rio
Grande at Camargo is on a big
rise, but nothing definite can be
learned about it. If true, the Rio
Grande will probably rise much
higher here in a day or twos
A good deal of debris and some
drowned animals hoated down on
the flood in the river this after
noon.
