Ell Paso, Texas.-A special to the

sixty-three Mexicans were surrounded
at rendezvous in Cananea and
marched to Jail by troops. Nearly
hundred rifles were seized. Cananea
is where the Mexican revolutionary
uprising occurred three years ago.
Since that time 500 soldiers have
been stationed in Cananea.
More troops are now en- route from
Hermosillo. The Cananea authorities
declare they are coming to fight the
forest fires in the Ojo mountains, but
the troops already at Cananea are be.
Ing used for that purpose. A promi.
nent anti-Diaz man at Naco, Sonora,
is quoted as saying:
Governor Torres had better keep
his troops at Hermosillo; he will need
them before the presidential election

place where troops are needed in

According to the Herald correspond.
ent, all the 5000 rife ammunition on
the border has been quietly bought up
by unknown parties, and it is impos-
sible to secure any ON the border.

their lives in the flood that swept the
valley of the River Abr in the Eifel

A report received here says that
fifty lives were lost at the village OF
Sault when a bridge crowded with
persons watching the turbulent wat
ers was carried away.
Throughout the Abr valley not one
bridge is left standing. The floods
were caused by heavy rain that

ing the River Abr to break it's banks.
Sunday night there was a cloudburst
and the water choked the valley,
drowning every living creature in
their path and causing immense mon
etary damage.

Croatian laborers were housed were
swept away and their occupants, who
were in their beds, were drowned
The railway was washed out and sew
