Reports From Above Show the River
Two Feet Higher.
Tliiamnrninirat (i o'clock the river
at. t hn Stanton street bridge had reach
ed the high water mark of a week ago
last Sundav with every indication of a
still further rise. The rise however
below tbe bridge did not do much dam-ae-e
as the levees on both sides were
broken anl the water spread out over a
large territory.
Reports from up tbe river are ais-
couragina". In addition to tne 1001 rise
of yesterday at San Marcial noted at
the timein'these eolumes there was a
fnrt.hor nsfi of one loot Detween tne
hours of G p. m yesterday and 9 a. m.
today and the worst appears yet to
come. The watsr is runmng over me

well managed and the committee ap

se ves posted on the condition of tbe
iver abave so that they may be able tj
take advantage of -any sudden rise.
Thpm is no material rise in tne water
in the southeastern portion of town but
this is probably due to the facts that
tbe Mexican dykes below the Stanton
treet bridge nave given way ana tne
a-ntpr is invpatlinsr nut over a great
deal of territory that it did not cover -a
few days before.
The Texas A; Pacilic have abandoned

the water was stopped in East El Paso
the T. P. came to the conclusion that
it was not nec-2ssiry to stop the gap as
it ciive the water an outlet so it could
spread without doing further damage
than it has already done.
JI one OI tne levees on me river
should break it would do more harm
than most people anticipate. Levels
