Terrific HuFricane-The Food Fund of
100000 People Utterly Destroyed
Immense Loss of Life-StaTvHtiOu and
Plague Imminent-LOss Twenty Bill
lion Dollars.
New YORK, June A correspondent of
the London Times, writing from Zanzibar
in relation to the hurricane which occurred
there on the fifteenth of April, says the
reefs surf Ounding the harbOr are studded
with wrecks. The Sultan had lost all his
vessels, with the exception of one small
steamer. Reports from the interior lead us
to believe that not only have most of the
cocoanut trees been upFOOted, but that all
the cassaVa. sweet potatoes, Indian corn.
rice and other more unimportant croDs
forming the property of perhaps 800, 900
people, and on which they depend for sub
sistence. have been utterly destroyed. The
effects on the island generally were similar
to what occurred in my own house. l have
no hesitation in saying that utter ruin pre-
walls, and that famine, with all its attend
ant horrors and dangers is imminent.
If the cyclone has liberated eight hundred
thousand slaves, something ought to be
done for their maintenance, for unless their
masters expend their all in providing foI
them, death from disease and starvation
must ensue. In Zanzibar, there are al
present no means for meeting such calam-
ity. No such disaster as this has ever be-
fallen the island, or was ever anticipated.
The loss Of life in the town and harbOr has
been immense. The storm was so terrific
and unexpected that the means of safety
could not be used. The native ghOws, with
their crews, sank in the harbor, and many
of the inhabitants persisted in the wreck OF
their houses The damage done on the if-
teenth will probably amount to four or five
million pounds sterling-that is, more than
half of the commerce. OF Zanzibar has been
destroyed for years. 1t is UnquestiOnable
that the impending effects upon the native
population may be such as we can hardly
form an estimate.
