Seattle, Jan. 7. The flood situation
south of Seattle does not aeeni to be
greatly Improved. Only the.mot
meager particulars from the various
points have been received. The first
casualties aa a result of the rising of
the water are reported from O'Brien,
on the Northern Pacific between Se
attle and Tacoma. There the water
Is six or eight feet high, and last
night It was rushing past the house
with the swiftness of a mountain cur
rent. Two men, Martin Cummlngs
and F. Shaughnessy, were In a boat
rescuing people from second-story
wlndowa, and on one of the trips the
boat capsized and Cummlngs and
Shaughnessy ware both drowned.
From Orlllla come the news that
the water haa receded about six
Inches, but that half of the town Is
Hill Indoor or compelled to go about
In boats. Many bead of cattle are Im
prisoned In barns standing In two and
three feet of water.
No trains are running through the
flooded districts, the Northern Pa
cific making no effort to resume oper
ations between this city and Tacoma.
The wagon and railroad bridge
across Nesqually River were tn dan
gerous condition, but It Is thought
they wlll be saved, as the flood Is sub
siding. No train has reached Olympla
from Portland alnce Friday.
Deschutes River Is raging and the
highest volume of water Is pouring
over the falls known In years.
The greatest loss by the flood ha
been the bottling works belonging to
the Olympla Brewing Company,
wrecked Friday night, and damaged
to the extent of $20,000. Fine weather
today will probably avert any further
calamities.
A lake of water 20 mile long, and
from one to Ave miles wide, and vary
ing In depth from three to 20 feet
cover the entire White River Valley
between Seattle and Kent. The like
was never known before In all the
history of King County. W. H. Al
vord, a farmer living near Kent, who
settled here over 40 yeara ago, said
tonight that never In his experience
waa there 4uch a flood a prevails
today.
The damage done by the waters In
King County alone wlll reach at least
100,000. and In all likelihood when
all the facts are known it will reach
double this sum. At least 300 fami
lies In the valley have been rendered
practically homeless by the floods,
and their household goods have been
well-night destroyed. Hundreds of
head of sheep and hogs have been
drowned, while other Uvedtock has
suffered.

A committee of the most prominent
citizens has gone to President
Castro and made representations of
how hopelessly untenable is his posi
tion. But he Insists on holding on un
til his forces are defeated In a decU-
