Not Exaggerated.

Laredo, Tex, Aug. 30.-The flood
in Monterey has not beed exagger-
ated. Chaotic conditions exist and
thousands of homeless are uncared
for. The loss of life is variously
estimated at from 400 to 1000.
Semi-official advices state that
400 cadavers have been recovered.
The financial damage will aggre-
gate fully 100000.
Rumor places the money loss at
anywhere from $2,0OO,O0O to s12.-
900, 900.
Appeals for aid have been sent
out to the citizens of the United
States.
Washouts have completely blocked
traffic on the National railway and
there are trains in either direction
between Laredo and Saltillo.

In City of Desolation.
Last night in Monterey was one
of death, desolation, darkness and
sorrow,
The flood waters of the Santa Ca
tarina river continued on their ram
pant course throughout the night,
and to add to the horror of the stu
alton the rain again commenced to
fall and caused untold suffering to
the thousands of homeless poems who
had congregated on the various
plazas. their only homes in the ex-
IRENE emergency.
The destructive flood, due to the
continued fall of rain for the past
96 hours. swept everything before It,
and hardly a vestige is left of what
was a few days ago a conglomeration
of small huts swarming with families
belonging to the poorer classes. The
loss of life, which can not be accur-
ately estimated for days, perhaps
weeks to come, was among the
poorer classes, and is variously
placed at from 400 to 1000 souls.
Flood Reaches Apex.
The crest of the flood reached its
apex in the early hours of the morn
ing, between and o'clock, and

many families were swept away to a
watery death with hardly chance
to fight for their lives. With the on
rush of waters pandemonium reign
ed, and as the poor wretches were
swept from their homes, on the tops
of which many had sought shelter,
never for a moment anticipating that
the water would reach an unprece-
dented height, pitifm appeals for as
sistance could be heard rising above
the roar of the onrushing waters by
those on higher ground, but who
were powerless to render aid of any
kind.
Every effort was made by the kind
hearted citizens to shelter the wo-
men and children. Their homes
we're thrown open to the sufferers;
the police station, many of the hotels
and private clubs as we'll as the
rooms of several organizations were
placed at the disposition of the au-
thorities and for the greater part the

women and children were cared for.
Many Sleep i'm Open.
However, many of the men we're
compelled to sleep in the open in the
various plazas. Both Zaragoza and
Hidalgo plazas we're alive with peo-
pie throughout the night and a vast
throng congregated in this vicinity,
which is on high ground, in order to
witness the rampage of the miniature
Niagara as 1t swept onward after
completing its work of destruction.
Already many bodies have been
recovered, but IL is impossible to ac-
curately state the number. II is
learned from a semi-reliable source
that the police records show that 400
bodies had been recovered up to
noon today. Yet scores upon scores
are still to be found at various
points along the stream, lodged, and
it may be weeks before they are re-
covered. Many will never be found.
Pitiful scenes are reported among
the women and children. Many wo-
men have been separated from their
husbands, mothers from their chill
dren without knowledge of the
whereabouts of one another and
scenes of the most profound grief
are witnessed on all hands, as moth
ers, husbands and children lament
for their loved ones.
River Cuts New Path.
At IL a. m. Sunday the rain was
still falling and to add to the dis
aster the Santa Catarina river had
worked out for itself new channel,
dividing into two raging streams and
separating in such manner that an
other and modernly constructed part
of the town was threatened.
1t was said that warning had been
sent out to many of the hotels and
business houses throughout the very
center of the city to be prepared for
the worst and to take preventive
measures.
This warning would not necessari-
ly mean that there would be any loss
of life. but that the first floors of
the various buildings might be flood
ed and entail large financial loss on
stocks of merchandise, etc.
The modern portion of the city is
considered to be high enough to es-
cape the ravages of the flood. but in
view of the fact that the rise of the
waters has been unprecedented It has
been considered the better part of
discretion to at least warn all threat
ened territory.
Damage Inestimable.
1t is thought that the damage will
be far in excess of first estimates as
sent out in last nights report. The
Monterey Shelter. one of the largest
smelters in Mexico. suffered loss by
water, from the deluge of rain and

LAISANT FINE RENTED.

Word comes from Perth Amboy that
Judge Pickersgill has informed City AT
torney Hammann, of that place, that
the automobile fines imposed by him
upon motorists under the city ordi-
nance making eight miles the limit of
speed, were Illegally imposed, and ad-
vising the return of a $40 fine taken
from F. A. Laisant, of Irvington, on
April IL last.
This action marks the beginning or
the end of the test case which was
brought by the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club. When the officials of
the club heard that a local automobile
speed ordinance was being rigidly en-
forced at Perth Amboy and that OF
its members had been fined under such
an ordinance. which was contrary 10
the automobile law, they immediately
took the matter up and brought the
facts before the motor vehicle commits
eioner, with the result that Mr.. Laisant
twas held to lave been illegally fined.
and the return of the money as but just
and proper under the circumstances.
The big Jersey club has always stood
for the just enforcement Of the law, but
invariably takes up the cudgei on be-
half of the motorist when it appears
that an injustice has been done.
