and many houses in the city have given way before the force of the water. All the valley in the country beyond seems £n immense lake, and the tops of trees, churches, and roofs, just appear above the water, which sweeps along cattle, " J ' : crops, and is a river five miles broad
before it outers Seville. The water is ' rushing over gardens, quays, and entering St. Elmo Palace. On the sth the Minister of Public Works left for the scene with eight government engineers.
