RHEIMR. Aug. 28,-The International cup of avTatloti, known also as the Jamea Gordon Bennett trophy, was won today by Glenn H. Curtis, the American aviator In the faateat aerial Journey of twenty kilo metre (12 42 miles) ever accomplished by man. His time, IS minutes 50 seconds was only W seconds faster than that made by Blerlot over the same course. The other two pilots who represented France, Latlian and LeFebvre, finished respectively in 17 minutes 82 seconds, and 20 minutes 47 seconds. Cockburn, an Englishman ran Into a haystack as he was maneuver- Ins; for the start and did not cross the line. Several other machines, which were expected to start were not ready with the time limit Tha race lay between Blerlot and Curtis, wltb Latham as a possible contender. Le- febvre on previous performances appar ently had no chance. Fortune favored the American. An accident two days ago to Blerlot's powerful machine with whloh he held the lap record, was a serious handi cap, sine he had no opportunity to try tha repaired machine. fortius Starts Early. Curtis stole a march on his rival by let ting away early. Finding conditions favor able at 10 o'clock In the morning he de cided to take no chances In the flckla weather and, after a trial trip, in which he made the circuit of the course In 1:Ki, low ering th world' record nine seconds, h Started immediately on his attempt to win the cup. He handled his machine, which flew along at a speed never before ' wit nessed, in masterly style, especially at th turns, which he took on the down grade. Tha first round, measuring (.21 miles, was made In 7:KH, somewhat flower than the trial time, but the second round was cov ered two second faster, in 7:534, another orld'a reoord.. This remarkable showing on tha part of tha American created consternation In. the Blerlot eamp. The French favorite, whose machine was equipped with a four-bladed propeller, made a trial, but could .do no better than T:MVt for the round. Thenr upon th advice of Santo Dumont, ha substi tuted a two-bladed propeller, but this proved slower still and the French began to doubt the ability of their champion. Blerlot replaced tha original propeller and tinkered with hi machine for several hour. In the meantime Lefebvr. in a Wright biplane, but without hope of win ning, flew over the course, but his time was five minutes slower than that of Cur tlss. The excitement grew steadily a E o'clock, Which th publlo understood was the time limit for starting In this event approached. Blerlot's and Latham's machines were run out and everybody stood watching them. At I o'clock the crowd conclutjd that th two French champion had defaulted and a murmur of protest arose,, but a minute later It was officiality announced that the wording of th rule had been misunder stood and th the rule allowed a start to be made any time before 6:30 o'clock.

Then the famous scout, who Is himself a part of the painting, looked at the work of the artist tor several minutes in med itation. "Yes, it's mighty fine," he said again. "Yes, I love that picture. It is great, and so true to life and the time it depicts." Many men had gathered around Colonel Cody and the painting by this time, and the Colonel enlightened them a to the painting and how It came to b painted. , "The late Edward Roaewater first con ceived this painting," he said, "and he hired Mr. Bacon over flv year agj to do tha work.

RIVER RISES SUDDENLY Many Adobe Hats Along; It Bank Are Dissolved by tke Flood and Their Oeeasssts j Drowned. LAREDO, Tex., Aug. 2. Word reached this city late this afternoon of one of the most disastrous floods ever known In Northern Mexico. It was caused by the overflow of the Santa Catarlna river. Ac cording to the rumors, many lives were lost, some estimates being aa high as 1,000. The financial damage la estimated at any where from $1,000,000 to 12,000,000. For th last forty-eight hours a veritable deluge of rain has been falling, which, together with the flow of water from the adjacent mountain into the Santa Catarlna river, o swelled that stream that It reached a width of a mile and a half and completely overflowed certain portion of the city of Monterey, wrecking houses and causing loss of life. It Is believed that the rumor placing the lives lost at 1.000 Is a gross exaggeration, due to the unsettled condi tion prevailing. However, It Is certain that the flood waa the most terrible in the history of the oldest Inhabitants and that the loss of life will be great. Not a train has reached this city thus far today and ' telegraphic communication la crippled to such an extent that the exact location of some of the train is at tha present time unknown. In the city of Monterey telephone com. munlcatlon la Impossible, the electric light plant Is half under water and out of com mission, the entire street car service of the city, which depends upon the electrlo plant for Its power, is paralysed and the water works haa been damaged to such an extent that the water supply of th city la crippled. Information reaching here through re liable source states that so severe was th flood that th Inhabitants in the vl clnlty of th flooded stream barely had time to flee for their lives; that th onrush of waters carried away their homes and chattel and in many cases drowned th occupant of the small huts used by the native. It la said that conditions, are chaotic and that th places ar crowded wltb homeless natives. , .

These buildings, when struck by the floods, literally dissolved, anj In many Instance their Inhabitants are re ported to have been caught in the falling material and rendered helpless and drowned like rats In a trap. Flood conditions extend aa far south a KalUllo, although no great damage beyond that to roadbeds Is reported south of Mon terey. Telegraphic communication to the north Is partially Interrupted, but it was learned tonight over a working wire that there ha been no loss of life reported to th south of Monterey. The report reaching Laredo a to the life loss In Monterey are so varied that It is Impossible to state with certainty what the catastrophe will really amount to. Inquiry waa made tonight at the offices of the National railway to learn If any light could be thrown upon the life loss In Monterey, but that office waa In lgnor ance of the situation. It having lost all wires to the south late last night. Monterey Is a city of approximately 70,000 Inhabitants and Is located 188 mile south of Laredo. ' It la set In valley between huge mountains and 1 traversed by the Santa Catarlna river. Among some of the plant that were more or lea damaged are: The electric light plant, the water works, the yards of the National Rail way of Mexico, also several warehouses of private individuals In that vicinity. the smelters and steel plant, which lat ter are reported to be badly damaged by the water.

Aside from this decision, the most Import ant Incident bearing on his Illness today wa a visit from Jacob H. Schlff, the New York banker, the first prominent figure In the financial world to see Mr. Harriman since his return from Europe. Mr. Schlff came apparently with the Idea of ascertain ing just how 111 Mr. Harriman Is. He did not talk business and when he left he said; "Mr. Harriman Is better." No Operation Now. Whether the decision not to operate on Mr. Harriman wa reached because hi physical condition would make an opera tion unwise now, or whether no operation. Is necessary, mut remain unanswered so long as the, Harriman family maintain It policy of rigid silence. But on authority which could not be confirmed from Arden from the offices of the Harlman lln in New York, It wa learned that after consultation physicians reported today to the family and to the interests in Wall street moat deeply concerned in the Harriman securi ties that it wa beat to let the patient make a full trial of tha "after cure" recommended at Bad Oasteln before a more heroic alternative I considered. Dr. George W.

"I sat on the porch with Mr. Har riman," h said, "and to me he seemed cheerful, and not at .all a dangerously sick man. I did not talk business with him. It ha been reiterated that what Mr. Harriman need mora than anything else la rest; and I certainly should be th last person to contravene th doctor's or der. "Mr. Harriman I Better." "Th only physician at th house," h continued, "that I know anything about 1 Dr. Lyle. He 1 still there, and so far as I know he 1 th only one ther. I know nothing about conaulatlon and I refuse to discuss either medicine or busi ness. To my opinion you are welcome Mr. Harriman is better." As he spoke the banker had th air of a man who had com prepared to faco a crisis and waa leaving happy to find that ther waa no crisis. His visit waa ex peeted by th Harriman household, for early in th day order came from Tower Hill to atop a through Erie train at Arden. When th train halted an automobile waa on hand and Mr. Schlff was whisked away before he could be questioned, but he expressed his view upon hi return to th Arden station in th afternoon. His words were carefully weighed and evidently spoken with th knowledge that financial interest all over tha country would take them a authoritative. The earliest Information direct from th Harriman household Indoor today, cam In reply to a querry over the telephone. "Mr. Harriman is resting well.

Th rigorous vlgllano of all the attend ants about the Harriman estate to preclude accesa or communication with the Harri man house was explained and In a measure excused today by William McClellan, over seer of the Arden farms. He baa been one of Mr. Harriman' most trusted employe for sixteen year. McClellan. said he voiced th sentiment of the many other employe of 'he estate In saying that their watchful- ' ness and solicitude In ' "enforcing th doctor' order" wa prompted by a spirit of tov and respect fur their chief, rather than by any explicit orders.
