By the Associated Press.

PUEBLO, Colo., July 22.—Reports from White Water, N. M., are that the greater portion of the business section of that place was destroyed by a flood last night, but so far as can be learned at the headquarters of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe in this city, where the information is obtained, no lives were lost. All telegraph wires to Silver City are down and all news is obtained from couriers arriving from the White Water summerhouse. The largest hotel at Silver City and a number of business blocks have collapsed. Railroad authorities report the storm is the worst ever known in that section. The Santa Fe railroad has lost several bridges on the Silver City branch and is badly washed out. The first reports were that several lives, even as high as twenty-five, had been lost, but later couriers arriving while confirming the reports of damage done throughout that section, say that, as learned, no lives lost.
