RAILROAD STATION GONE. No Loss of Lif Reported So Far But Several Persons Are Missing. A terrific flood struck the city of Trinidad, Col., and the whole valley long the Las Animas riyer, devas- tating a wide section and causing a loss which will reach over $1,000, 000. So far as known there was no loss of life, but several persons are missing. Every bridge in the city of Trinidad is ont, the Santa Fe station is demolished, all of the railroads are tied up and the telephone and tele- graphic service are completely sus- pended. More than 30 city blocks in the residence and business portions were from two to four feet under water along the river. The flood was caused by a heavy rain which had been falling for two days. The new Bacca hotel, a two-story structure just nearing completion at a cost of $20,000, on the river bank was destroyed. The water then ate its way through 50 feet of ground to the Santa Fe depot, which was car ried away. The Cardenas hotel ad- joining barely escaped a similar fate, an acre of ground being washed away near it. The Rio Grande bridge at Elmore is out and the Santa Fe right of way in many places has been washed out. Railroad traf- fic is entirely suspended and business here is paralyzed. It was reported that the flood was A Pullman sleeper and one chair car standing in front of the Satta Fe station were lifted bodily by the flood and floated, right side up, down the river for two miles. The Harvey eating house, near the Santa Fe station, was damaged to the extent of $20,000. The Western Union and Postal telegraph lines were badly crippled. Of the merchants lower Com: mercial street whose losses were great, the Colorado Supply company is the heaviest having $100,000 goods destroyed. No Silver Service for the Chic.

JAP SHIPS REPORTED SUNK. i | the country Torpedo Were Russian Reports Say Two Boats and a Steamer Struck by Mines. Movements at the front so far as disclosed by the meager, dispatches received are confined almost to. con- tinuous outpost skirmishes by means of which Gen. Kuropatkin-is keeping in close touch with the Japanese along the whole of their front. Field Marshall Oyama’s advance appears to be extremely - deliberate. There are no indication as yet thay he has be- gun to overlap Russian positions. The superiority of the Russian cav- alry is. beginning to be apparent. They have had the best of it in a number of miner encounters. It appears that Gen. Rennen- kampf’s movement to the southward on September 19 extended beyond the distance indicated by first re- ports. His Cossacks made a rapid] sweep on September 22 and struck a | Japanese force at Bensihu, threaten- ing their communications and caus- ing considerable excitement. Reinforcements are rapidly arriv- ing at Mukden and many convales- cents are already returning to duty. It is reported that Ge has made a requisition upon the au- thorities for additional officers to make up the heavy losses in killed and wounded In the battle of Liao Yang. Despite all the efforts of General! Kuropatkin, the movement of the two Japanese columns at Mukden, has not been checked. The extreme points of the Japanese front are fully 60 miles apart, but these have begun to close in. It is up to the Russian | commander to decide the same ques- | tion which faced him at Liao-Yang: | that is, to hold Mukden, with the des- | perate certainty that his retreat will be cut off, or to fall back on Tieling! before the converging Japanese umns make this impossible. The Japanese center is slowly but surely pushing its way to the Hun river. There seems to be no cessa- tion in the stream of reinforcements which is reaching Oyama, both from Niuchwang and Dalny. The new troops are being hurried to the flank- ing columns, the veterans of Liao- Yang being reserved as far as pos- sible for the center and on reserve. Jap Ships Reported Sunk.

Divers Find Obstruction Placed Wheres It Would Do Damage. With the evident intention of ruin- ing the hull of the battleship Connec- ticut, which was launched at the New York navy yard Thursday, some per- son or persons maliciously placed an obstruction on the ways. It was mot discovered until divers were sent down to make an investi- gation. On any dark night a small boat could have been brought close enough to the stern of the battleship to have placed the obstruction on the ways. As is usual before a large ship is launched, divers were sent down to see that the ways were clear. They went down for the first time Saturday, and since the obstruction was found they have been making the most careful examination, and were working this afternoon.
