APPALLING FLOODS
EXPERIENCED IN INDIA.
TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.
By Electric Telegrnph.—Copyright. Received July 25. 11.30 a.m. DELHI, July 24. Appalling floods arc occurring in Southern India on a scale hitherto unknown in any part of India so far as the loss of human and animal life and the destruction of public and private property are concerned. Largo areas are under water to a depth of eight- feet. Tho rivers have burst their banks and are flowing into one another. No proper estimate of the loss'of life is yet obtainable, hut the official figures of 110 aro regarded as much under-rated. The damage to the railways is enormous. Ceylon can only bo reached by the sea. The interruption to communications is causing loss and inconvenience throughout India. —Sydney Sun cable.
