DKNVKIt. July 31. A News special from
Socorro , N. M. , says : A tremendous roarlne
startled the people of Socorro yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock. Shortly after huge
waves of water came rushing down the Ar
royo , which drains the eastern slaps of the
Magdaleiia mountains and almost encircles
the town. At first It was hoped that the
fluod would bo confined to the lower portion
of the. clly. but soon the water came over
above the town and three feet of water began
to rush through the principal streets. Shouts
of women and children mingled with the
crashing of falling houses and the walls of
Eouls b"lng swept Into eternity.
The water CJIIIB In wavei , each succeeding
ono being apparently higher th.in the other.
Portions of houses , household Roods , car
riages , Blovcs and farm Implementi , mingled
with huge boulders , railroad ties nnd bridge
timbers , were borne through the streets by
the madly rushing waters. For two hours the
work of destruction continued , the horror
being Increased by vivid lightning , crashing
thunder and a blinding rain. Gradually the
waters subsided sulllclently to allow the par
tial Inspection of the destruction. Only two
bodies were taken from the waters before
dark -a mother and child. An attempt was
maelo to reach the people living In the river
bottom , but darkness and absence of boats
prevented. All night long homdpss people
wore ; being brought In to hu cared for. This
morning a scene of desolation was presented.
A majority of the business houses have ca-
caped heavy damage or destruction , but
hundred * of poor people lost everything , being
homeless and without money and almost
naked. More than fifty houses are known
to have been destroyed , while almost every
resilience In the city 1ms been damaged.
Sllico the water has receded many adobe
houses have fallen and many others must be
abandoned. The two bodies recovered last
night have been Identified as members of the
Dnran family , several of whom are missing.
Four more bo'lles were taken out this morn
ing nnd Identified as Dunns , making six re
covered. Other bodies are reported us being
seen , but owing to the treacherous nature
of the ground they cinnot be reached. The
destructive waters spread over the entire
city and carries ! death everywhere. Many
are missing. Another victim has since been
milled to the death list , an Infant son of K.
llaca having Just died from the effects of the
water , having been rescued when almost
drowned.
Hoports coming from towns north and
south tell of heavy losses. For twelve miles
north and south the destruction of property
was terrible farm house's ' and crops being
entirely swept away. The Santa Fe tracks
worn washed out between here and San An
tonio In tover.il places. The branch road
from this city to Magdalena Is practically
destroyed for ten miles out. five bridge ! being
gone and several miles of track. A laige
section of track on the north side of the
city , running east and weU , was taken up by
the angry water * and turned north and south.
The names of the recovered dead thus far
are :

CKLIA IUWAN.

CHILI ) OF H. BACA.
Only two members of the Duran family
nro alive. No estimates of the loss can be
made , hut It Is more than $1,000.000. Hun
drrils of farmers have lost their farm houses ,
crpps , fences nnd stock , and In many cases
tlfo farina have been rendered unfit for culti
vation. ThL afternoon the citizens of So
corro mot at the court house nnd a relief
committed was appointed. The committee
was nt once put to work , but the demands
soon outran the resources , as every person
had suffered loss. The number of perosns
forced upon charity cannot be estimated now.
It Is raining In the mountains again tonight
and greit fears are entertained ns to the
safely of Hit city. Reports o [ damage con-
tlijuo to ovine In. It la said that three Mna
tdwn8 uotyh of hero were totally dostroyed.

grfat damage. The hotel Is said to have
been swept away , and Mr * . Charley Tracey
and a man named Watson drowned. Six
persons are known to Inve been drowned at
Adelaide and two others are reported miss
ing. The railroad for ten miles near Wilbur
has been washed away. No definite Informa
tion was obtained up to a late hour this
ntemoon. ( but it Is known that much damage
has been done In the path of the storm. It
will bo nt least a week before the railway
can bo repaired , and the dflinago Is estimated
nt $100,000. More destruction Is reported at
Camp McCourt.

at Adelaide were filled with about four feet
of wat r. The damage Is not as much as at
lrst reported , the company's loss not being-
as heavy as supposed. The wires were
torn down near Adelaide , thus preventing
news cf the disaster becoming known here
until toJay. The landslide at Adelaide struck
a freight train , which was thrown across the

\V rtli > .
NEWl'OHT , H. I. . July 31. Defender beat
Vigilant today In the run of forty-two miles
from New London to this point , and beat
her su badly that the hitter's owners must
now admit that the new boat Is better than
the old. How much better cannot be stated ,
ns no reasonable comparison of the champion
of 1S 3 and Vigilant of 1805 can be made ,
except by the people who know about what
Defender will give to Vigilant In the matter
of time allowance. Concerning this matter
an Associated press reporter was told to
day by a yachtsman who Is In a position to
know that Defender should allow Vlgllunt
four minutes or thereabouts on a forty-mile
race such ns that of today. If this Is true
Defender did all that could have been asked
of her , beating Vigilant by atleast eight
minutes.
Just as the start was made Vlgllant's main
sail was split , but the accident had no ap
preciable effect on the result of the race ,
the tear being near the foot of the sail , and
the yacht went with freedom. The wind was
abeam and gave the two men who were sent
out on the boom to make the necessary patch
no difficulty at all. They had no trouble In
stopping the hole , Hewing on new canvas ,
nnd the accident. It Is said by experts , did
not militate against Vigilant by more than
fifty seconds at the outside , nnd probably not
over twenty seconds.
The weather was In favor of Vigilant all
the way through. On leaving New London
It was a more than good wind. A broad
reach with wind abeam would better de
scribe the direction of the wind , which was
almost due southwest , ns It has been for two
days. It wns brisk , hut the big fellows were
able to carry all Ball , Including club topsails ,
and the water was smool'h enough to suit
Vigilant In her very best days. From start
to finish Defender gained on Vigilant and
came In so far ahead that the doubting
Thomases who were asking each other as to
America's cup racer : "Will she do ? " ore
now saying nt least : "Well , she's the best
boat we ever had In , " and a confession from
: he e people Is to be thought over more than
once. It means that the splendid win of the
keel boat today shows that she Is Improving
right along In form. It the advancement
continues right along In the present ratio
Vigilant will be nowhere tomorrow. The
Inlsh showed the new boat to be twelve min
utes and two seconds to the good on actual
time.
On leaving New London the yachts sailed
lown with n beam wind to Hace Hock. I-
'ender ' had her steering gear patched up dur-
ng the night and her sailors wore smart
enough to get over the starting line one
Tilnuto and twenty-two seconds ahead of
Vigilant. Volunteer was pretty epilck
inil went away five seconds after Vigilant.
Jubilee1 was there , but for some reason she
lid not start with the others and this fact
lessoned the breeze In the whole procession ,
as the breeze wns blowing pretty fresh and
everybody wanted to know what General
'ayno's vessel could do with the champion of
1S'J3 and the new fin-keel yacht. The boats
which did start had n good race. There
was a fine breeze , which was always fair.
After rounding Hace Hock the fleet found
tsclf going before the wind and spinnakers
.vero . sot , nnd that Is the way they rushed
ionic to the finish line.
The result of today's race shows that the
Ight for tha cup on the American side will
be made by either Defendant or Vigilant.
Jubilee , by her refusal to start today , In-
llcates that she does not want lo go Into a
race , when there Is a blow , ns n victory In
such weather cannot he of great value , for
: ho chances are 5 to 1 that the cup race will
JB In light weather , and that Is the game
Valkyrie HI wns built for.
