Additional par ticulars of the terrible catastrophe which occurred on Sunday last near the mining city of Catorce, in the stite of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, arc to the effect that the cloud burst on Con hences mountain and a great stream poured down the mountain side, sweeping everything in its course. The habitations occupied by tho miners were swept away and the tunnel of Guadalupo mine filled with water, drowning several miners who were working inside. A number of people living in cliiT dwellings were buried alive. At Las Cruces and El Potrero on one side of the mountain and Los Catorce on the other, fifteen dfad bodies havu been recovered and there arc beliuvcd to l many more. The mining companies' losses are heavy. Largo quantities of high grade metal were carried away by the flood at the Concepcion property. Hundreds of pack animals were drowned and the road destroyed These are the meager details so far received from this remote district though people here knowing the local ity believe that there must hnve been at least fifty lives lost CHEYENNE LANDS First Installment to Open th Territory Uor Forward. KlxoriBiir.il, Ok., June 19. The first installment of the ?U50.(XK) due tho Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians under the act of congress adopted March 3, 1891, went to Darlington yesterday. The installment consisted of .V).000 sli ver dollars, and four more of the same character and magnitudo arc to follow. Payment of the Indians will commence at once. It will require the remainder of this month and probably a portion of Julv to complete the payment After this the allotment of lands to these In dians will commence. The allotting agents have been on the ground, under pay, for a month, waiting for the work to liegin, but the Indians refused to accept their lands, or have any thing to do with the allotting agents, until they had received their pay in cash. It is estimated that the- allotting will require from four to six months. After this the great Cheyenne snd Arapahoe reservation, embracing some of the finest lends In the Indian territory and consisting of 4,000,000 acres, will he thrown open to homestead settlers. The set of congress provided thst the allotment of lands to the Indians should be made in ninety days from the pasv sge of the act March 3, 1691, and the delay in the work is the occasion of great dissatisfaction among the people of Oklahoma and the western states generally.
