MATAMORAS. Mexico, September l.
The flood waters of a score Of rivers and
smaller streams of northern Mexico are
now pouring into the Rio Grande, causing
an overflow which Is already the highest
ever known, and the water is still rising
The broad valley OF the Rio Grande on
both the Mexican and American sides is
under water all the way from San Miguel
to it's mouth. a distance of 100 miles In
some places the river is thirty miles wide.
The levees which were built on the
American side to protect the big irrigating
canal systems and plantations from over
flow have proved of no effect in this un-
precedented rise.
Towns Under Water.
The towns of Harling and San Bonito in
Texas are under water. Mercedes. with
a population of several hundred people,
Is surrounded by the flood, and number
OF the buildings In the lower part of the
town were washed away. The San
Fordyce branch of the ST. Louis, Browns
Vile and Mexico railroad is under water
for thirty miles. The big Closner planta
ton near Hidalgo is inundated.
Many thousands of acres of cultivated
land on both sides of the river are in
the flooded territory. Owing to the fact
that most of the irrigated canals are
built on top of the ground the damage
to these systems has not been great up
to this time
The San Juan river is twenty miles
wide where it empties into the Rio Grande.
II has DESTROYED the towns of Camargo.
Zacate and Ochoa, and a number of
smaller places. The Inhabitants had
ample warning of the approaching floods.
and it is thought the loss of life is small.
number Of buildings at Fort Brown,
situated just opposite Matagoras, are
threatened with destruction by the over
flow.
David E. Thompson, the United States
ambassador at Mexico. has telegraphed
the State Department that the Mexican
government has ordered the customs au-
thorities at Ciudad Poririo Diaz and at
New Laredo to admit. free of charge, all
relief supplies addressed to the American
consul general at Monterey.

HILL ISSUES Def.
Reduction Of 10 Hours for Trains
Between Chicago and Seattle.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, H., September 1-James J.
Hill today threw down the gauntlet to his
Pacific coast competitors with an an
nouncement that he has decided to chop
ten hours off the running time between
Chicago and Seattle. This will necessi-
tate speed equal to the fastest New
York-Chicago trains. and is quite Likely
to precipitate a time war with other
Pacific coast roads.
Strenuous means are being adopted by
the challenger to intrench himself In ter
ritory where there is the sharpest com
petition. With this In view the Burl,nR-
ton, Great Northern and Northern ra-
cinc nave made proposition to the Post
once Department to put new fast mail
train in service between Chicago and
Seattle to make the long journey in sixty
two hours. This is the proposed ten
hours reduction. being faster by that
many hours than the present fastest
schedule TO the Puget sound territory.

Kings Life, Again in Custody.

Special Cab!egram to The Star.
MADRID. September 1.-The police OF
Barcelona province have succeeded in ar
resting Francisco Ferrer, notorious an
archist, wanted for a long time in con-
nection with a number of outrages.
1t is believed he was a member of a
gang responsible for the bomb outrage
on the occasion of King Alfonso's we'd
ding.
Ferrer, at the time of Alfonsos wedding.
was the head Of an anarchistic school in
Barcelona. He began life as a railway
laborer, and, by some means unknown
had become wealthy.
His trial for completely in the attemp,
to assassinat Alfonso on his wedding day
lasted from June to June IL. 1906. and
resulted In his acquittal. His presen,
arrest is probably traceable to the recent
disturbances In Barcelona.
