visitation. Two-thirds oi the town of
Consuegra, in Toledo, with populati
OF 1000, has been DESTROYED by the
hoods. Five hundred houses have been
destroyed at Almeria. 1t is certain that
iully 1000 people have lost their lives
by the floods. Hosts Of corpses remain
unburled, and, because OF the great heat,
an epidemic Is feared. Famine is caus-

government is striving to iced the des-

The town Of Consuegra is ruined and
the police are preventing pillase. The

amid scenes or mourning and misery.
1t is thought that 5000 head of horses
and cattle were drowned. The town OF
Almerla is in absolute darkness, the
floods having covered the electric light
and gas works. Throughout the whole
