Curtiss' Official record when he won
the Gordon ennct trophy, otherwise
known as the International cup Of avia-

competition lay between Curtiss, the
one American entered; one English
man, using a French car, and three
Frenchmen. The Austrian n Italian
cars entered had deraulted.
Curtiss brought owe one machine L
accomplished his purpose. The most re-
markable feature OF TIE whole race
was the cool reception given the Amer
lean when he scored his victory. 1t
was one Of the most chilling receptions
ever given a victor IN any contest.
The Frenchmen believed they had
everything in their favor and thought
they had the race practically won. The
manner In which Curtiss upset their
calculations was a severe blow 70 their
national pride.
The race lay between Bleriot and

Curtiss started early. At 10 o'clock
in the morning he considered the con-
ditions favorable and after a short
trial trip over the Course on which he
had set one record the day before ne
started in the race for the cup.
Curtiss' flight was watched with con-
s~ternation in the Bleriot camp. on a
trial trip the French favorite could not
touch the early performance Of the
American. Santos-DumOnt, who was IN
the camp as an adviser, recommended
that a twO-bladed propeller be subsl-

brought the time eve lower.

Is Unprecedented

The med ger records of previous foods
unearthed today show nothing IN many
years that equaled that of yesterday.
This fact was responsible for much Of
the loss OF life. Having seen many
floods THAT came near their homes and
then receded, the inhabitants lost time
In deserving their homes and, even after
they we're almost surrounded, they re-
fused TO leave the houses, believing the
waters would recede.
For many months in the year the
santa Catarina is a dry bed without a
sign Of water. During the rainy season
II becomes A fair sized stream, and
during the deluge Of the last few davs
the lines OF its banks were absolutely
obliterated. The bed lies low. between
steep banks and only an immense vol
ume Of water could overflow its steep
banks.
HI river runs almost directly through
the center Of Monterey. on its right
bank Is San LusitO, inhabitated only by
me Eoorer element. and IL was this sec
ton that suffered most.
When the raging current Of the river
hit the sheil-like houses fE this section
they collapsed completely and were
washed across the river and swept
against homes In the better section IF
the city which might have stood the
force Of the water had II not been for
the debris.

Business Suspended.

Business Suspended.
The inhabitants who are high and
dry. as well as those stricken, must
depend upon the incoming trains for
provisions. as the markets hav. been
closed. all business at a standsti. and
outside communication practically cut
OF for nearly three days.
The fear Of pestilence is worrying the
authorities today. The health Office.
Inadequate and poorly equipped. is
hardly able to cope with the situation,
and the stem from the dead bodies
had already become a mersce by noon
today.
A anva this morning OF the damage
places the actual loss to property at
Sl2.O0O.000. The effect OF the fooC on the
business interests can hardly re esti-
mated yet but it will be felt fo3 many
months to come.
A loss Of nearly a million dollars Is
reported from the great steel plant at
Monterey. The huge smelter of the
Mexican Lead Company Is submerged
and is completely cut Of from the city.
Just how much It is damaged can not
yet be ted. L is thought that the
loss will reach 100000 at the east.
Consulate Damaged.
The American consulate was damaged
TO the extent of $1,000. For a few hours
the employees at the consulate had to
a~bdicate. and though great incopveni-
ence was caused 10 lives were lost.
Many Of the houses wrecked were not
directly injured by the flood, but by the
wreckage that was swept past them by
tho swift current of the Santa Catarina.
When the food was at It's height, the
current attained a speed OF over twenty
miles an hour.
Residents say today that unnecessary
damage was done when the rescuers
we're caught on their guard. Yesterday
afternoon the river la receded 70 its
hanks. but only two hours later il
burst forth unawares, and homes with
their occupants were swept away be-
fore TIE word vas passed that the flood
had br1ken out afresh. The outbreak is
attributed to the fact that there vas a
slight cessation IN the rainfall yester-
day morning, but that was oniy a lull.
and throughout the district at the head
Of the river yesterday afternoon the
rain fell without ceasing.

these jambalayas, which Manager
Gueydan expects to increase ma ter

Why not canned Jambslaya as well

is better dish than any of these. 1t
