of Consuegra threatens to cause further
damage. The estimate places the total dea' h
list at 1000. Large numbers Of corpses still
rest where they were found. Unless they
are soon inferred an epidemic Of favor Is
feared. Many bodies have been found en-
tirely nude, showing that the victims must
have been washed from their beds or in
their hurry to escape jumped in their night
dresses from the windows of their houses to
meet death in the swollen waters surging
around them. The worst Is not yet known.
Months of terrible prlvation and extreme
suffering are before the utterly impoverished
survivors. Their crops are gone, their cattle
swept away and their houseSsand househoid
furniture ruined. All that wou.d enable
them to earn their bread has vanishe0 a.
meath the torrents of water, which rolled
over the town and village, field and farm.
Two thousand kilos of army bread have
arrived in the flooded districts. The COM
missariat corps Of all the military divisions
Is working night and day to supply prOvi-
sion to the starving people. At Almedia,
the capital of the province of that name,
number of dead are still unknown. 1t Is ad-
mltted that over 800 houses were destroyed
there and large number Of people perished.
The Cabinet met yesterday and decided to
take measures for the relief of the destitute.
News comes in slowly from the flooded dis
tricts, each succeeding telegram adding to
the public sadness. In the face of the terri
BILE calamity the strongest efforts are being
made to repair the railways and telegraph
lines, but the work must occupy some time,
while the gale continues. The moment the
Queen received the news at San Sebastian
she sent the superintendent Of the palace TO
Madrid and thence to COnsuegra to distrib-
ute money, clothes and provisions among the
sufferers. and she herself gave $4,000 to
start relief fund. The Cabinet dispatched
minister to inform the Queen of the meas
ures taken.
A national relief fund has been opened
and all the newspapers announce that they
are ready to receive donations. The wine
and grain scrops have been destroyed
throughout the flooded districts. The troops
and corps of citizens are doing their utmost
to succor the sufferers. Thousands of fami-
lies are homeless and starving. Relief trains
are being dispatched to the scene Of the dis
aster.
