hASSOWAH FLOODED.
Over One Hundred Lives Lost and an
Immense Amount Of Damage.

CAIRo, Jan. 29.-Advices from Massowah,
on the Red Sea, state that terrible storm,
followed by floods, has caused enormous
damage throughout the Island of MassO-
wah. Over one hundred persons have lost
their lives.
MaSsowah, sometimes called Mesowah,
the original Portuguese name having been
Matzua, was settled by the Portuguese un-
der Christova da Cana in 1872 1t is a
town on the AbyssinIau coast of the Red
Sea, on small ceral island of the same
name, in 15o so north latitude and $50 so
east longitude. Its height above the sea is
only from twenty to twenty-five feet; its
length will not exceed one-half mile, and lis
breadth quarter of a mile. In 1857 it was
captured by the Turks, and has remained
more or less strictly Turkish possession
ever since. The western half is occupied
by the town, and the eastern half by Mo
hammedan buryine-grounds and dismantled
mans settled at Arkiko "a town
situated on bay on the Ahyssinian coast
opposite the Island of Massowah-was
appointed, not only to defend it in case
of attack from the mainland, but to keep it
supplied with water in return for S1400 a
month from the town customs. Most of
the dwelling-h0uses were straw huts; the
mosque, the Roman Catholic Church, the
Government buildings and CuStOm-hOuse
and the residences of the principal mer-
chants being of stone. Water was formerly
scarce, and had for the most part to be car
ried from the mainland, but in 1872 an an
Client aQueduct from Mokullu was restored
and continued by an embankment to the
town. For some time in the close of the last
century Massowah was held by the Sheriff
of Mecca, and it afterward passed under
Mehemet Ali of Egypt. The Turks We're
reipstated abont 1850, but in 1865 they handed
the island back to Egypt for an annual tri-
butte of two and half million piasters.
Besides the original EthiopIans, who speak
Tigre dialect corrupted with Arabic, the
population, estimated at from 5000 to 5000,
comprises Arabs from Yemen and Hadra-
mant, Gallas and Somalis and Hindus from
Surat. The trade, which consists mainly
in exporting hides, butter, Abyssnian coffee
and civet and importing European aud In
dian cotton goods aud silks, increased in
value from about e65, 900 per annum in 1865
to from 9240, 600 to e2S0. 600 between 1879 and
1881.
