Chronicle from Los Angeles dated
June. 2j says Nearly the entire city
Of Guanajuato. Mexico, was destroyed
and about ! 900 lives lost as a result
Of flood following cIoudburst, &C.

patches received from Mexico City.
The water rose SO rapidly that poems

houses in the lower part OF the city
remain intact. and the Jardin del Can.
most beautiful in the world, was en-.
tirely washed away. More than fifty
magnificent private parks at the foot
Of Mount san Nicolas met the same
fate.
The river bed had been nearly filled
with refuse from the mines OF San
Francisco de Pastita, the large tunnel
passing under the city became choked,
and when the cloudburGt occurred the
waters from the mountains dashed in
TO the Cup-shaped valley containing
Guanaluat0 and submerged it. Before
the pOpulace awoke to realization Of
Its peril the pressure Of water carried
away high dam and the flood abated,
taxing much of the city with it In the
fearful current. Hundreds OF bodies
went down with the swi7lng flood and
may never be recovered. A dozen ha
ciendas below the city were wiped cut
Of existence and every soul swept
away.
Guanajuato is the center of the sec
ond largest electric system in the re.
public This is dependent on the wa
ters Of the river Owing to the sub
Gtantial character Of the buildings
the plant successfully resisted the in
undation and can be repaired The
