 T.. ferent parts of Mexico say very heavy storms have been sweeping over the country since Aug 10th, visiting different states at different times. The latest pre- vailed along the Pacific coast and re- ports from Mazatlan and Manzanillo are that the steamers "Porfrio Diaz" and "Alata" have probably been wrecked. After five days of steady rain in the state of Vera Cruz a cyclone passed over the town of Chintepec causing great destruction, and a terrible land slide occurred on the mountain back of the town. That part which passed di- rectly through the town cut a great swath and carried away everything in its path. Torrents of rain then poured down the gulley made by the landslide and flooded the part of the place not already destroyed. There was no loss of life however, as the people had warming and sufficient time to escape, but the loss in crops and the loss of cattle is very great.
