HEAVY TOLL OF LIVES IN SPAIN: RAGING TEMPEST
MADRID, September 29 (Rec. Noon). —At least 75 persons, mainly women and* children, have lost their lives in the tempest of wind rain and lightning, which has been raging across Spain since Tuesday. The regions hardest hit are around Ronda, between Seville and Malaga, where 17 bodies have been found and nearly 50 are still missing; Elija, 100 miles north, where 38 are dead and 30 missing; and Valencia,-where 20 are dead. Most of the deaths were caused by sudden rises of the rivers which have been dry for months through a drought. Railway and road traffic in most of southern and eastern Spain is paralysed.
