Twenty THOUSAND DEAD.
Appalling Loss of Life by Floods in
China.
TWO PROVINCES DEVASTATED.
sixty villages Near the Capital of the
Empire Are Destroyed. Leaving Thous-
ands Homeless and Destitute of Food
Relief Work.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 6.-The steam
disastrous floods that have visited
China for many years. Sixty villages
near Tung Chau, containing over So
900 inhabitants, have been destroyed
by floods and the people drowned or
forced to fee. There is no means OF
finding how many thousands have been
drowned, but the number is estimated
by Chinese authorities at $4,000 to
10000.
The flooded district is within twelve
miles of Pekin, the capital OF China.
AS a rule Chinese officials make very
little stir when a calamity like this
happens. but the proximity of the dis
aster has resulted in its being brought
10 the attention of the emperor, who
has ordered that all possible relief be
given.
Survivors from the villages nearest
Pekin have been allowed such shelter
as they can find on the city walls, but
thousands are without protection
against the rain, which continues to
fall. The distress OF these people is
most pitiable. Philosophical and
wealthy men of Pekin and Tung Chou
are actively assisting the authorities
in providing them with food.
The floods have greatly damaged a
large number of estates belonging to
/ Pekin mobiles. The unusual rains be-
gan July 90 and continued until Au-
gust u.
The crops in the flooded district were
destroyed. The projects. local magis-
trates and people of the flooded district
prayed for the cessation Of the rain
seven days before they were finally
| driven out of their homes
( Early in September high officials OF
Pekin and Tient Sien suddenly for
! babe the slaughter of cattle, their OBJ
( ject being TO appease the wrath OF gods
/ and stop the rain Proclamations to
! this effect were posted. The result was
! to cut off the entire meat supply, which
| led foreign consuls to protest against
the prohibition and to report the sit
! uation to the foreign ministers al
! Pekin. 1t is claimed that the action oil
the officials constitutes violation OF
the treaty rights.
Early in September there was anoth'
er uprising in Formosa. a battle tool
place, which resulted in the killing o.
200 rebels and many Japanese soldiers
Capt Takeuchi, who commanded the
Japanese, cut down thirty rebels will
