DEATHS BY FLOOD
 MAY EXCEED l,2OO
Rescue Parties Along Shores of River Recovering Bod
 ies of the Victims
MUCH FEAR OE PESTILENCE
Especial from United Presso

Especial from United Press.)
 Monterey, Mex, Aug. 30.-Falling al- most as rapidly as it had risen, the Santa Catarfna river is within its banks and rescue parties along the shores are recovering the bodies of the victims swept to their death in the deluge of Friday. Saturday and Sunday While no official estimate of the number of dead has been made. it is declared the total may exceed 1900. The rain, which has been fall ing since Thursday, stopped at noon to-day and since then the work of rescue has been going ahead rapidly.
 Hundreds of bodies have been re- covered and prepared for burial. More than 5000 people have been fed and hundreds have slept in the hall- ways of public buildings and private homes thrown open to the sufferers.
 Along the banks of the river were the homes of the poorer people of the city. Many houses crumbled like pa- per before the flood, carrying their inmates to death. To-day where these houses stood are pools of muddy wa ter while here and there the body of a victim, still too far in the flood to per- init rescue, may be seen.
 Fear that pestilence will follow the flood and leave a worse death list than the water has caused the authorities to become extremely energetic. Streets
 
 cleared and the victims will be bur jed as quickly as possible. Monte rey is little higher than the banks of the Santa Catarina river and when mediately. The river came up in the night.
 Large buildings, undermined, gave way, crushing those within and hold and children took refuge in some of these buildings In one, a school building. a large number of women and children and two priests took ref uge. The building collapsed while the priests were trying to comfort the refugees and everyone perished.

 The poorest district of the country known as San Luisto usually a dry territory is dangerous in flood times. The San Luisto bridge was swept out and the people of San Luisto were cut off from escape. Their little houses crumbled and were washed away and it is believed hundreds were drowned With the receding waters to-day the authorities ~are sending rescue parties l to this section to search for bodies. Before the full total of deaths will be known the ruins will have to be torn away. The Federal government is organizing for the stricken city and government troops are to prevent footing.

The appeal calls attention to the fact that Monterey, city of 10000 people, does S5 per cent. of it's foreign trade with the United States. .g
