VILLAGES SWEPT AWAY.
MANY Perish in the Pathway
of the Relentless Tor
rent.
HUNDREDS MADE HOMELESS
immense Damage Done to French
Provinces and the Loss VIII
Reach Ten Millions.

EPINAL, FRANCE, April 27.-The enor-
nous reservoir near here burst to-day, in
undating many villages in the district and
drowning many people. So far thirty
eight bodies have been recovered. The
damage to property is tremendous.
The Great Bousey dyke of the Epinal
district of Vosges, it now appears, burst at
: o'clock this morning. The cubic area of
the dyke is s, OO0,0 600 meters. A great rush
OF waters followed. 1t is impossible at this
hour to get a correct estimate of the
damage done or the number of lives lost,
but from the number of bodies already
found the indications are that the loss of
life will be very heavy.
The railways in all directions are inter
Tupted and a large number of villages are
entirely flooded. In some places entire
houses were swept away and large trees
were torn up by the roots.
The reservoir was close to the village of
Bousey and connected with the Canal de
PEste. The breach caused by the rush of
water is over 100 meters broad.
Everything possible is being done to
rescue the imperiled persons. Many fam
lilies are still in danger. The authorities
are also taking steps to provide relief for
the homeless. Assistance and supplies
will be sent from the nearest point.
LATER.-It seems the disaster caused by
the bursting of the dyke at Bousey is more
serious than was at first supposed. In a
single commune, that of Uxogeney, seven
kilometers from the scene of the disaster
proper, twenty three persons were
drowned. At Nomoxy. eight bodies have
been found.
Wherever the water flowed it destroyed
everything in its path. The village of
Bousey, with its extensive pisciculture es-
adjustments, has disappeared. The steep
vertical banks of the Canal de FEST burst
and emptied a reach of water eleven kilo-
meters long in the Aviere Valley, which
the flood followed to Nomoxy, where it
flowed into the River Moselle.
At Darneillues all the houses were de-
stroyed and few were spared at Auxirges
Hundreds of families have been rendered
homeless, and many who were asleep at
the time lost even the bedclothes. The
burst reservoir, which supplies the canal,
is situated at Bousey and was formed by a
dyke 500 meters long. 1t was built during
the years from 1879 to 1884 and was
strengthened in 1889.
1t consisted of wall of masonry twenty
meters high and twenty meters thick at it's
base. The foundation was nine meters
deep. The bed of the reservoir is of
natural rock. The dyke was regularly in
spected, and no signs of weakness have
been detected since 1890.
The damage done by the floods was i'm
mense, and it is believed will amount to
100000
