Buried without Identification.

MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE survivors Of the
great floods say that, though the river
was noticed TO be rising rapidly, no serious
apprehension was felt. Suddenly the wa
ters seemed to make a rush forward, over
whelming everything. Then came a wild
race for life, the people flying in all direc-
tions. Many climbed upon the roofs of
their houses, but the buildings gave way
beneath them.
Some idea of the force Of the water can
be gathered from the fact that the food
bodily lifted from the ground the entire
framework of a good sized suburban resi-
dence and carried it almost as it was taken
up for eight miles
Twenty-seven bodies have been found in
one dwelling house. As a sanitary pre-
caution hundreds Of the dead have been
buried without waiting for Identification.
