 ricane's Rav.xe. Is Known sto- rie. of Town. Destroyed Coming In Daily.
 New York, Aug. 16.-The Heralds Porto Rico correspondent cables from San Juan:
 Il have already visited the Bayamon md Arecibo districts of the island snd shall start for Ponce in the morning via Hort. With all the extra facilities af- forded by General Davis communica- ton with the distressed district Is still only partly open.
 "Arecibo was devastated by the hurri- cane and later was flooded by the Are cibo and Manati rivers. Two hundred bodies have already been recovered. and hundreds more are missing. It Is thought they were swept into the sea.
 ''The town was inundated to a depth of six feet. After the water subsided the dead were found lying everywhere. The bodies were buried on the spots where they were found.
 ''The town is now rapidly filling up with starving persons from the country. Only four soldiers were drowned. but all are without shelter. Captain McComb and his men did valiant service in say ing life. Forty persons were rescued from floating wreckage. A thousand head of cattle were lost there.
 At Nsranxito 20 persons are known to have been killed. A thousand are home less and starving. Morsvis is totally destroyed.
 At Ciales 20 persons were killed. Many are missing at Barcelonita. Seven residents were killed. At Cayey the death roll Is at least 90.
 Children Dying by Hundreds.
 Tt is impossible to estimate the loss of life and property in the country dis tricts- Every river Is still swollen. and passage is well nigh impossible.
 The crops are totally destroyed. Chil- dren are dying by hundreds from stsrva- ton and exposure.
 "I rode for miles through the Bayamon district without seeing a house standing. All the people are fiocking to Bsyamon for food and shelter.
 "A courier has just arrived here from Yabucoa. He says that the town was demolished by the storm. Already so bodies have been recovered, and it Is es- timated that POO perished. Many are wounded. Medical assistance is scarce in all
 
 present distress greater Is the fact that a month ago all public improvements were stopped owing to the lack of ap- populations. Thousands of persons were then thrown out of employment. A renewal of public works would be a great relief. Many planters and mer- chants are ruined and cannot give em- ployment.
 ''I had an interview last night with General Davis, who says the latest re- ports show the disaster to be greater than he had anticipated and extends over the whole island. He is doing ev- erything in his power to alleviate the suffering and has every confidence in generous results from his appeals to the American people. Where possible the troops that lost their shelter in the hurri- cane have been ordered to San Juan.
 "Mayaguez is suffering but slightly. All the vessels in the harbor are ashore"
