The Hoods which caused so much da magi, and which are already known to have resulted in the loss of thousands of lives, were general in the south of Spain. Tha damage done is terrible iu its extent. Iu the province of Toledo t lie rush of water from thti Consucgra river was so sud-den and unexpected that huudrjils of people were drowned in their beds. Four hundred bodies have already been recovered, and at least one hundred corpses can be seen floating in tho swollen river. A national relief fund has been opened, and all tho newspa-pers aniioui.co that they are ready to receive donations. The grape and grain cm pa are destroyed throughout the ilooded sections (d the country. The over'loo'iug of iho (.'ousiirrjra threaten lo c.i.ise further damage. Tuo thirds of the houses are praei.cai.y destroyed; tiny are still standing, but their foundations aro sapped, and they threaten to fall at any moment. The families saved from drowning are in the greatest distress from want of food. An estimate el a? so I as a moder-ate one, and one which is within rather than over the actual number, places the total dealh list nt UIM). Fargo number of corpses still rest where they were found.
