TIBER FLOODS ROME.
WATER IN CITY STREETS. By TVelegraph—Press Association-—Oopyrifiht Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, December S. The Rome correspondent of the “ Daily Telegraph ” says that old Father Tiber threatens Rome with another historic inundation. The depth of water is already nearly forty feet in many places, and the river is almost at the level of the embankment walls along a great part of its course through the city. The Tiber is level with the streets at Ponte Milvio. where the bridge itself is flooded, water pouring over instead of under the arches. Floods threaten the greater part of Campagna. where large areas and numerous establishments are from ten to twenty feet under water. Lakes, previously non-existent, have appeared between the outskirts of Rome and Ostia at the mouth of the river.
