STORM RAGES AT NIGHT lilncs Arc Down in Mining Camp in "Which American and British Capital Is Interested, and Xews Is Indefinite. MEXICO CITY, July 2. Reports arc current hero that from 100 persons up ward, with one report claiming even 1000, have been drowned in a great flood at Guanajuato, a mining city, now the important seat of activity by several large American and British companies. The wires were down all day yesterday, and the roads were impassable. No news has been received, and two reports arc current, one saying 1000 were killed, an other says that at least 300 were drowned. Late tidings are that Guanajuato is completely flooded and water is already invading the higher parts of the town, while there is fear that the Laolla dam may give way, which would mean com plete and general ruin. The city is built In a great gorge in the mountains, and the streets ramble up the mountain sides in picturesque fashion. Furious Storm at Night. A storm began furiously on the night of June 30. and after midnight no one dared to go to bed, bo tremendous was the fury of the elements. The water rose in the lower or business streets, flood ing shops and damaging thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise. The lower streets became raging tor rents as the water poured in river down the upper strets. Doors were smashed In by the force' of the water, and windows were no protection against the furious flood. Later advices state that it is known that over 300 lives were last at Guana juato. A dispatch to President Robin son, of the Mexican Central Railroad, says there are 1000 dead at Guanajuato. The town of Marafllo, Just below Guanajuato. Is completely wiped out. The raging water Is carrying the dead through even street of Guanajuato. Water Up to Second Story. In Guanajuato the water is up to the second story of the Hotel Union. Great damage has been wrought to the street car line, and service cannot be resumed inside a month. There is only one way the people can get to Marafllo, which Is with mules or afoot. Telegraphic com munication with Guanajuato Is cut off and it Is supposed the Laolla dam was com pletely destroyed, but this cannot be confirmed. The Mexican Central north-bound pas senger train ran into a washout north of Irapuato and was derailed, the water running over some of the cars. Advices from Querelaro are to the effect that there was no telegraphic com munication with Guanajuato last night. Messengers who managed to get out of the (City say the water stands from three to four feet deep In houses and shops in the lower part of the city, and that the stricken people have gone into the moun tains carrying their valuables. The storm began to abate at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The superintendent of the Mexican Rail road has advised the agents not to ac cept baggage. Damage by Flood Enormous. DEL RIO. Tex.. June 2. Eighteen lives, are known to have been lost as a result of a cloudburst in the mountains above the town of Las Vacas. The damage to property is enormous, as the water swept through .the fertile valley in a mighty flood, carrying everything before it. TUFT PARTY HT WAR SECRETARY HAS BEEN OR DERED TO PROCEED. Says He Does Not Expect to Suc ceed to the Premiership in the Cabinet, OMAHA. Neb., July 2. Secretary Taft and party, on the way to the Philippine Islands, passed through Omaha early today, leaving for the West over the Union Pacific at 5:30. Secretary Taft was asked: "Are you to become the Premier of the Administration?" "No. I do not expect to become Secre tary of State." he replied. "I wired to the President for instructions when we learned of Secretary Hay's death, and he ordered us to proceed. That does not look as if I become Secretary of State." The party was met at the station by a large number or Army officers and civilians. The Secretary was joined here by Lafayette Young, editor of the Des Moines Capital, and Mrs. Young, who will accompany them as far as Manila. Representative Bourkc Cockran will join the party at Yokohama, and Repre sentative and Mrs. Hepburn will be mem bers of the party from Honolulu. WAR APPEARS IMMINENT Swedish Squadron Reported Ordered to Attack Norway. SPECIAL. CABLE. CHRISTIANIA, July 3. There is a feeling here that hostilities between Sweden are more a question of hours than tiays. One report in circulation here Is that a Swedish squadron is on its way here and that Its commander has been Instructed to attack all Nor wegian shipping wherever found. The government of Sweden took the first hostile step on Sunday when an order was issued declaring Stockholm, Karlston, Gethcnberg and Farosend naval ports from which all foreign wart ships must be excluded. The armies of Norway and Sweden now confront each other on the fron tier and any simplo act is likely to precipitate a battle. In fact, it is stated, apparently upon the best of authority tha Sweden is ecretly mobilizing her forces. .LANDMARK OF UEWISTON" COV ERED WITH IRON. Horse Frightened by Fire Brings Doctor to Ionian Injured in Accident. LEWISTON, Idaho. July 2. (Special.) One of the oldest landmarks in the city was destroyed by fire this afternoon. The flro department responded quickly to the alarm, but before the first stream of water was Hurned on the burning build ing the fire had gained such headway that the building was one mass of flames. The peculiar structure of the building made it difficult for the firemen to work, and had,, a slight wind been blowing the fire would undoubtedly have spread to adjoining buildings. The building is lo cated on Main street, near First, and was built in 1852. It was made of logs, but In recent years has been covered with corrugated iron and was occupied by Kwong Ylk & Co. as a Chinese mer chandise and drug store. About 15 China men occupied bunks there and when the flames were discovered coming from the second story almost all the Chinamen were In their bunks taking an afternoon sleep. They were routed out and they had but very lltlo time to save their per sonal effects. The building was owned by Henley Bros., of Pomeroy, and Is a total loss. Quong Ylk & Co.'s loss was about $2000, with J1000 insurancc An incident of the fire was the running away of a horse attached to a light buggy, having become' frlgtUenod. in which was Mrs. E. L. Knight, wife of the street commissioner. She was thrown from the buggy, which turned over and then righted itself. The horse started down Snake River avenue, thence to Normal Hill, finally winding up In front of the residence of Dr. J. B. Morric, who had Just been telephoned for lo come and attend Mrs. Knight. Dr. Morris got Into the buggy and drove to the scene of the accident. Mrs. Knight suffered Internal Injuries. , ASSESS AT TRUE YATCE. Clackamas Bent on Heavier Taxation for Corporations.
