Lives Lost in Port, Rican Storm.

AS is generally the case in such mat
tiers, the first accounts of the Porto
Rico hurricane are now discovered to
have been much exaggerated. Surgeon
General Wyman has been notified by
Surgeon Glennan, at San Juan. that
"the recent hurricane has not caused so
much damage TO life and property as at
first estimated. The total number of
lives lost. principally by drowning is a
little over Goo. The first accounts
placed the loss of life well up in the
thousands, and the loss Of property al
millions. Full investigation will very
largely reduce the latter item also.
