Three hundred lo live hundred lives arc irporlud lo htivo boon tost in the hur rk'nni' Jind lidat wavo, which struck Gunyinns, jruxicA, October !, mid liihtcil fivo diiJC The lowns of Kin polo, Ortir. nnd San Joso do Gun. mns wore destroyed. Conununiea tion is severed. Tho flood destroyed lowns on tin eastern shore of the tlulf of Cnli l'oruiii, Unnymas, Alhtnlm, Topol banipa vcr also terribly damnjd by tlio same wuo, which was tho re sult of an earthquake. Tho hurrieane sueoevdinj the wave lasted fivo days, outline off com munication so that no details of the frightful diVnster arrived until word was received from the memor vt Ilerniosillo, in Sonora, today, asking for provisions, tents and clothing. The governor' dispatch states that from 300 to 500 perished in tho tidal wavo and hurricane. It is im possible to I'htlnmlo the damage. The cnrtlupiakn which caused the death dealing wavo occurred in the middle of the night. A Imgo wall of water, twenty feet high, swept from tho Gtdf of California upon the doomed towns. Ships, houses and other buildings were swept far in land in the terrific swirl, and many of them were deposited miles inland on the sand dunes. In the wild confusion of the sea's inrush, scores ot men mm women were drowned in their beds, while others were crushed under the fal len wreckage. Men fought despcr ntcjy fpr pieces of tho wrecked buildings to enable them to keep their beads above the .swirling wat ers. Many of those who escaped drowning in the first sweep of the wave were washed into the gulf as it receded nnd devoured by sharks which infested tho waters. The harbors of everyone of the ruined towns wns swept clean of shipping. Seventeen vessels in tho harbor of Guaymns alone were destroyed bv tho flood, and their wrecked hulks todny are piled along the shore and on the snutl dunes of the interior. Heart rendering tales of the dis aster are told by the survivors, scores ujhui scores of whom, the governor telegraphs from llcnnosil- lo, sustained broken arms and legs when their homes went down like cardboard before tho rush of tie water. Insufficient medical assis tance, lack of food and shelter are creating dire distress among the sur vivors of tho district. Famine is already beginning 10 show its head and unless supplies anil. medical aid arc at once received tho list of dead, already many hun dreds Jong, will bo increased until nearly 1000 will have been sacrificed in the catastrophe.
