at Consuegra, Spain.
MADRID, Sep. 17.-Late reports say
that the floods destroyed four stone
bridges and twenty mills, besides an en-
ormous number of houses. Wreckage
and corpses were carried forty miles.
The Mayor of Consuegra puts the fatality
there at 5000. In some places limbs
have been found separated from bodies
The officials have telegraphed for lime to
prevent an outbreak of disease.
Large numbers of passengers en- route
to the south are detained here on account
of the floods. Passengers coming to this
city from Seville, Cadiz, Cordova, Gran
ada, Valencia and Alicante are obliged to
journey by way of Barcelona.
A terrible storm which set in near Val
encia at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning had
destroyed the rice crop. The rivers Turia
and Jucar are rising rapidly and threaten
further disaster.
The government has set apart 800, 900
for relief measures and has asked the
Bank of Spain to grant credits to the
governors of the suffering provinces.
The Governor of Jaen telegraphs that
the whole commune of Aubeda is sub
merged and that the damage done is
enormous, and that there has been con
siderable loss of life.

PROMINENT APPOINTMENTS.
The President will FIJI the Vacancies il
ONCE This Week.

Inc Pres1uenE Will tllA the NaCanC1eS
ONCE This Week.
WASHINGTON, Sep 17.-President Har-
rison will make a number of prominent.
appointments this week, probably to-
morrow. 1t is understood that he will
fill the two vacancies on the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the one on
the Court of Claims. Col. Glenn, of At
lanta, is the best Endorsed applicant from
the South to fill the place on the commits
sion to be given that section for a Demo-
crat, and he will likely be one of the
appointees.
The other one the President has not
agreed upon. He is considering a num-
Der of men, and since the West already
has one place on the commission, in the
person of Col. Morrison, of Illinois, the
second vacancy, by resignation of Judge
Cooley, of Michigan, may go to the East.
The vacancy on the Court of Claims will
not, as has been supposed, go to Ohio,
unless the present status of affairs is
changed.
1t will, however, go to that section of
the country, to o lawyer well known in
an adjoining State, but who has not oc-
cupied a public position. The Chinese
mission may be filed this week, and a
successor to Collector Fassett, of New
York, may also be named.
