MADRID, Sept. 15.-The food which
have caused SO much damage and which
is already known to have resulted in the
loss of thousands OF lives, has been
general in the south Of Spain. The

In the province of Toledo the rush of
the water from the river was SO sudden
and unexpected that hundreds Of poo
pie were drowned in their beds. -Four
hundred bodies have already been re-
| covered and at least 100 corpses can be
seen floating in the river. The Nation
al relief fund and all newspapers an
nounce that they are ready to receive
donations.
The graps and grain crops are des-
troyed throughout the flooded sections
Of the country.

families saved from drowning are in
great, distress from want Of food. An
estimate classed as moderate, and which
is within rather than over the actual
number, places the death list at 1000.
| A large number OF corpses are still
unbound and unless soon inferred an
epidemic is feared. As soon as possible |
| the bodies Of the drowned are being |
| gathered from the streams and mud |
| banks and buried in trenches.
The unhappy worst is not yet known |
| and months OF terrible privations and |
extreme suffering are before the utterly |
impoverished survivors. The crops are
all gone, the cattle swept away, houses |
ruined and all that would enable them |
TO earn their bread has vanished beneath |
the torrents OF water. Extreme distress,
positively ravenous feeling OF star
walton prevails in many sections OF the
country and many desperate men,
determined to secure bread at any cost
for themselves and families have been |
driven to making raids upon and pillag-
ing buildings where they expected to
lind bread. The troops have been in
structed to take the most eeVerS meas
ures to protect property.
Two thousand kllos Of army bread has
arrived in the flooded districts. When
the goyernm-nt delegate in charge Of
the first consignment OF bread arrived |
be was beset by the furnishing inhabi-
tants, male and female, the majority OF
them half naked or clad in rags, most of
them on their knees with their hands
uplitted praying for succor. When.all
the bread was gone there still remained
many mouths untitled, many sufferers
who had not been able to obtain a small
portion OF this temporary relief.
