TWO THOUSAND DEAD.

Laredo. Tex. Aug. 30-Two thou
sand dead in the Monterey food Is the
estimate of the extent of Saturdays
disaster made tonight by Pedro Tre-
vino, prominent capitalist OF Monte
rey. Official estimates do not 20 so
high. ranging around 1.200 or 1,400
Certain 1t is. however. that the list
OF dead constantly grows.
There are several little pueblo vii
lagos containing from fifty to one hun
dred inhabitants, located along the
banks of the river TO the south of Mon
terey and 1t is reported that these
have been completely wiped out and
their inhabitants drowned
1t is on this ground that NJ Tre-
vino places his estimate of the loss
of life at a higher figure than has yet
been stated No American lives were
lost but several Americans suffered
property loss.
Committees are endeavoring TO Sc
cure Identification of the bodies as
they are brought In b. searchers.
while other committees are charged
with the duty of seeing TO the shelter,
ing and feeding OF the thousands of
homeless.
Scenes Are pItiable.
Hundreds OF the victims wander dis.
tractedly about the city vainly hoping
that they may be able 10 encounter
missing relatives or at least recover
their bodies.
Prompt measures taken to house and
feed the homeless have proved effect
i've and very few. ii any, have been
permitted to go hungry.
Soup kitchens have been established
so that the refugees may be fed The
poor are the greatest sufferers. the
flooded district being principally on
the flats along the east side OF the
banks of the Santa Catarina river.
OF the 400 or more bodies thus far
recovered about 80 per cent have been
identified and were inferred today.
The bursted water mains have not
as yet been repaired but 1t Is ex.
pected the situation will be relieved
tomorrow.
Communication Is Demorallzed.
Railway, telephone and telegraph
communication is so badly crippled as
to be practically useless. The National
Railway of Mexico has seyenty-fve
miles OF track. several culverts and
bridges swept away There lis no train
service between Laredo and Monterey.
The National railway, for the first
time since the food, secured tele-
graph connection between Laredo ana
this city. The master mechanic. To-
Gated IN Laredo. was ordered to hurrY
forward all available material Several
trains are stalled and It was not def
nitely known until tonight that the
crews were safe, Indications are that
railway traffic viii be impeded until
Thursday or Friday.
Monterey authorities appreciate the
contributions of money from the
United States
Great difficulty was experienced by
newspaper correspondents In securing
transmission of press matter to points
in the United States. owing TO the Pc
culiar laws governing the exc snsion
OF press rates and the recognition of
correspondents in Mexico.

stroyed and 1t is feared there has been
heavy loss of life in the country dis

MONTEREY BURIES
VICTIMS OF FLOOD

Monterey. Mex. Aug. 30-With 500
bodies recovered and buried in Monte
rey up to nightfall. thousand is now
the estimate OF the city authorities Of
those who lost their livee throughout
the valley OF the Santa CatarLna river
The number of homeless-nlany desti-
tute-is placed at between $1,000 and
%, 900.
The Santa Catarina river at Monte
rev has has subsidized sufficiently TO
permit a passage into the district ly.
ing to the south. Thus a more COM
plete story of the disasters appalling
effects becomes known. People who
had been saved from the flood of Sat
urday morning have been without food
until today. when they were supplied
with small amount of bread and
beans
Once on the south side of the river
evidences of the terrible destruction
wrought by the flood were seen on ev'
cry side. Five blocks OF the district
were as though they had never eX-
listed and IN the remaining portion bod
les were being taken from the ruins
and inferred by party of gendarmes
sent across for the purpose,
Bodies Are Buried.
AT 4 o'clock 4GU bodies had been
recovered and were buried on the hill
side south of San Luisito.
The same number of bodies were in
tered yesterday. Thus far no Amer
leans have been reported lost. Re-
ports from down the river say many
bodies have been recovered but there
are many that will never be accounted
for, as the Santa Catarina bed is filed
with quicksands
The authorities are doing all In their
power and the government has sent
$4,000 for the relief of the sufferers.
Contributions have been received from
San Antonio and New York firms
which have agencies In this city.
Many houses have fallen from the ef-
feet of continuous rains which have
occurred during the seventy-two hours
ending at noon Sunday During this
time 81 rs inches of rein fell In Mon
terey and up the Santa Catarlna
canyon.
Old Church Falls.
One Of the buildings destroyed was
the San Francisco church. which was
built In 1862. The barracks of the ru-
rales was washed away and much mil
itary equipment was lost
The railroad situation continues un-
changed. although the officials an.
nounce they expect to get train out
north tomorrow. The Mexican Cen
trails Tampico branch is badly dam
aged and the San Juan bridge is en-.
tirely destroyed. The Matamoras
branch is In bad shape and fifteen Kill
ometers of track has ben washed out
South of the city the damage is not

LEADING PITCHERS I'M
THE EsS!0R LEAGUES
MuIlin and cicotte Fighting for Honors
in An1erican-Five with Clean
Records in National.

George Mullin, the Detroit slab ar
fist, remains in the lead as the IN
beaten pitcher of the American
league, although Eddie" Cicotte, the
clever Bostonian, is giving him a
merry tussle for the honors.
Mullin has won six straight games
while Cicotte has annexed four with
out defeat There are Il pitchers
il all with a clean mark for the sea
son.
Vedder Sitton is the only Cleveland
youth in this high -class company, and
he has worked in only one game.
CHANGING at the figures, the pitchers
appear to be more effective than ever
this season, although there were
few heavy-hitting contests in the past
week. From now on. however, there
should be a decided Improvement in
the smuggling department.
tiebhardt's first victory of the sea
son came in the game with Chicago
after relieving Dusty Rhoades.
Liebhardt saved the game that day
by his effective work, and was given
the honor of trimming the White Sox.
There have been IA shut-out games
during the season, with Doc" White
the chief winner, the southpaw using
the kalsomine brush no less than three
times Lake and Brockett of the
Yankees, and Coombs of the Athletics
have each won two
the world on fire by his pitching, has
met with a few reverses lately. and
has now won only one more game
than he has lost, but having the adj
vantage of working in nine games he
leads the league with strikeouts, hay
ing famed no less than sc batters, an
average of four per game. Eddie CT
cote is the free-gift man with IS.
Camnitz of the pirates is dividing
honors with Moren of the Quakers,
for being the most effective pitcher
in the National league, the former
winning six games without defeat,
while the Philadelphia man. who re-
ceived 5000 for each victory from his
daddy" has annexed 1000 so far.
That is a pretty good sum for so early
in the season.
Only five pitchers in the National
league have a clean record, Pfeister
and Higgins Of the Cubs, and Phil
lippi of the Phillies, being the others.
Two of Camnitz' victories have been
shut-out games, while Raymond of
New York is the only other pitcher
who has done as web
