ANCIENT HISTORY.
NEW STORY OF THE TERRIBLE
MEXICAN STORM.
One of the Most Destructive
Ever known-Why 1t Has Taken
So Long to Get the story.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 20-The story
of the terrible storm that recently swept
the gulf of California has only been
limited at in the meager dispatches that
have been received from Mexico. The
first word picture of the gale in IT'D
awful entirety is drawn by Captain Won
Helms, master of the steamer Villa
mette Valley which has just arrived
from the region devastated by the cy-
clone. 1t is now apparent that this Whirl-
ing windstorm will go down in history as
one of the most fearfully destructive
ever known.
The difficulty in getting news from the
wind-swept and water-ruined country,
has seemed as strange as the storm it
self. The cyclone passed over a cOun-
try remote from connecting lines of
railroad and far away from reliable
means of communication. The telegraph
lines were all Frustrated, and many of
them will remain down for weeks to
come. At Guaymas, little or nothing
about the storm seemed to be known
Letters received from points within the
stricken area were incomplete, full Of
doubts, uninteresting and mostly writ
ten in Spanish, and poorly written at
that.
Three Weeks Late.
These reasons mentioned, and others
as potent, will account sor the fact that
the world will first learn of the partial
destruction Of the capital of the state of
Sinaloa through CaCtain Won Helms
Other details nearly as important as
this have remained for him to describe.
The fury of the storm was not most
felt at La Paz. as had been supposed
but a the interior plateau town of Culia-
can. The storm burst in the mountains
back of this important Mexican town,
and the waters worked an awful wreck.
Between twenty-five and thirty people
were drowned outright, and many others
were injured in the raging flood that
rushed through this capital city. The
murky waters poured through the prin-
cipal streets. but the buildings there
were substantial and resisted the on
slauGht
Culiacan is an historic city In it are
the state buildings of Sinaloa. Back Of
it are some of the richest silver mines
the world has known. 1t is a town of
fully 113iG people. The Culiacan river
runs through it. When the storm struck
the ridge of the high mountains back of
the city there was such a downpour that
in an incredibly short time the canyons
were full of water pent up by the very
Guickness with which it fell. After the
climax in the fury of the elements was
reached. this water descended from can
yon to valley, and valley to plateau with
a farceness never before known in that
part of Mexico.
