FLOODS IN HUNGARY.
A despatch from Pesth to the Daily Neacs
says 1.-THE destruction of dams on nearly all
vania, and terrible inundations again fill
ing the public mind with anxiety. But for the
intense cold, ranging from 10 degrees to 20
degrees, Reaumur, Grosswarden and several
villages around that city would have shared
the fate of Szegcdin. Temesvar, Arad and
several towns in Transylvania were partly in
undated on Monday, and, as in Grosswardein, u
great number of houses fell in. So suddenly
came the flood that hardly any preventative
measures had been taken, and great damage to
property is reported, but no loss of life. The
continuance of frost can alone prevent most
serious disasters" The Times Vienna CORE
spondent sends better news from Arad and
Grosswardein. A hard frost having set in
again the waters are beginning to fall.
