Scene of the Great Flood.
Madrid. sept. 16.-Further distress
ing particulars in regard to the flooded
provinces continue to be received at
long intervals, each additional report
showing that the extent of the disaster
has in 10 way been exaggerated. The
latest information is from Jaen, capital
of the province of the same name. The
governor of the province telegraphs that
the whole commune of AUbeda is sub
merged: that the damage done is
enormous, and that there has been con-
siderable loss of life. The cOrresp ond-
ents of the Spanish and foreign news
papers who have been asle to reach
Consuegra describe 1t as "a city of the
dead" On every side are terrible signs
of destruction. The rumbling of the
death cart CRATES horribly upon the ear
as those CHASTITY vehicles convey their
sickening loads TO the common trenches
dug for their reception. The streets
everywhere are torn up, washed out and
filled with all kinds of wreckage. HUI
man remains, stray limbs and headless
trunks are seen protruding from he apps
of undiscovered wreckage.

made of the damage to property in and

give vague and confused accounts of
the rise and onward sweep of the flood

havoc. They say, however, that,
though the river was noticed to
be rising rapidly, no serious
apprehension was felt until the
waters seemed to make sudden rush
forward, threatening 10 overwhelm. and
eventually overwhelming everything.
