THOUSANDS DROWNED
Further Details of the Hurricane
in Porto Rico.
RIVERS FLOWED THROUGH PONCE.

The Town Was Wholly Destroyed and
Men, Women and Children Floating In
the Water In the Streets--Remains OF
500 Victims Already Recovered-Steps
for the Relief of the Stricken People.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 14.-It is
now plain that Ponce was the greatest
sufferer by the hurricane. The rivers
Portuguese and Canas flowed through
the city, drowning thousands of people
Five hundred bodies have already been
recovered. The town is wholly de-
stroyed and will have to be rebuilt.
There is scarcely whole building left
larger structures are mass OF ruins.
1t will be several days before an ac-
curate estimate of the number of
deaths can be made. An eye witness
who was on the top of a large stone
building in the Alambra plaza saw the
bodies of men, women and children
floating in the water in the streets.
Every one was paralyzed with fear and
unable to render any assistance. The
storm of 1867 killed 5000 people. 1t is
feared the number of deaths is greater
now.
The southern coast was swept clean
as far as Yauco, eighteen miles. The
towns of Tallaboa, Arroyo and Juana-
diaz were destroyed. Only the large
church edifices are left standing. There
is not drop of water in Ponce to
drink. No gas or electric light is
available. The cisterns are full of salt
water from the ocean, and the stencil
arising from the dead bodies is dread
full. The sanitary condition is seri-
GUS and widespread sickness Is sure to
follow. The soldiers and firemen rem
dered heroic service in saving lives.
Fifteen vessels in the harbor were
driven ashore. The weather bureau
predicted the storm, but it is claimed
Ponce was not warned. A mob of L.
600 persons threatened the alcade, Por
rata Doria, but they were dispersed
by the Fifth cavalry. The alcade has
been deposed on account of negligence.
Major Myers of the Eleventh infantry
is acting as alcade in response to pop
ular demand
Crops Totally Ruined.
All the crops are totally ruined, the
wires are all down, and little news is
obtainable from the interior. Aibonito,
including the barracks. has been de-
stroyed but no lives were lost there.
Juanadiaz has been devastated. Forty
six lives were lost there. Arroyo,
Guayama, Salinas and San Isabel are
reported to have been demolished. The
railroad between Ponce and Yauco has
been destroyed and the military road
is impossible. The river is flowing
over the road for two miles. Maya
guez escaped serious injury. Bananas
are the sole food here. The poems
have gone to San Juan and it's vicinity.

MAY. NOT LAY
NEW PIPE LINE
Injunction Against Bear
Gulch Company.
Special Dispatch 70 The Can.

REDWOOD CITY. Dec. 5.-The Bear
Gulch Water Company, now engaged in
replacing the old seven-inch pipe with
fifteen-inch pipe. will be compelled TO re-
lay its new pipe on the line OF the old
and will not be permitted TO lay another
line of pipe adjacent to the old one.
In the Superior Court to-day Judge
Buck granted the injunction prayed for
by the Spring Valley Company, thereby
restraining the Bear Gulch Company from
laying its new pipe in any other place
than that set forth in the old right OF
way, which was obtained III 1861.
Al question that greatly interests the
people of Menlo Park was touched upon
but not decided during the present court
10 which the Bear Gulch Company is en-
titled under the old decree of condemna-
ton. The Spring Valley Company claims
that the Bear Gulch Company never OBJ
tained by the decree in condemnation the
right 10 take one drop of water of the
land on the banks OF the stream, but that
nv prescription they have the right TO
take seven inches. the size of the present
pipe and no more: this for the reason
that in the original condemnation pro
ceedings all riparian owners were not
made parties and hence there are some
who are still entitled to all the water over
and above seven inches.
Miss Flood held three-fourths OF the
stock in the Bear Gulch Water Company,
and II is this interest that passed 10 the
State University a few months ago. The
balance OF the stock is held by Charles
w FELTON, of Menlo Park. There prom
ises to be further litigation before the
matter is finally settled.

were absolutely sure OF being paid. The
law provides that all salaries shall be
paid out OF the general fund, and II makes
no difference out of what fiscal year the
money shall be paid. IL is different under
the consolidation act with merchants.
They must be paid out OF the funds OF the
nscal year in which the Indebtedness was
incurred.
Having this advantage the election au-
thoriues proceeded, knowing, however
that they would far exceed the appropria-
ton made for them. They were perfectly
correct In their estimates. The primary
election cost $4,000 and the general elec-
ton cost $50 600, a total OF Sl04 900. The
Election Commission has already exceed
ed its appropriation therefore, by S5I,o0O
ana the bond elections have not yet been
held. Ii is estimated that both OF them
will cost a total Of $50 600. but Il is safe 10
say that they will cost more.
Whatever they cost they will simply
add 10 the. deficiency OF 1880 already
created. The total deficiency will con-
sequently be at least So 500. which is more
than the entire appropriation Tor the gem
eral elections. This money must be paid
out OF the general fund and the army OF
tracesmen who furnish supplies TO the
prisons and hospitals and all other muni-
cipal departments must skirmish for their
money.
The merchants realize very clearly that
the crash will not come until the end OF
the fiscal year. \ bitter experience has
taught them this fact and they are not
anxious 10 repeat H. They intend, there

can by Injunction. They understand the

given by special legislation and none has
been found in actions before the courts.
il has been proposed. therefore that the
aggregated bills Of merchants against the
