Though tt has been my fortune to witness on other occasions the dread effects of a hurricane, though familiar for years With fleids covered with dead and dying and all the accompaniments of devastating ‘war, 1 sit Gown to write amid scenes of ruin and desolation iar beyond anything heretofore known ia my experience. Matanzas is in mourning for hundreds (cad, while the destruction of her pro- perty and commercial luterests is beyond calcula- tion, So great is the devastation caused by the com. dined Influence of the wind and water, so heart- rending the scenes on every hand that one scarce knows where t begin @ desermsption or to form a correct and intelligible statement of the occurrences, Tessay tho task, though doubtful of my abiiity, to give yourreaders any detinite idea of the reality, On the night of Friday, the 7th, the wind set in from northeasi, Dlowmg with great violence until nine o'clock on the following morning. At this time # heavy rain commenced and continued until Jour P.M. when the hurricane broke loose, raging with unexumpled fury. Aud then began the horrt- ble catastrophe. The wind driving the water into the harbor fn huge yotumes prevented the rivers San Juan and Yumari—flowing } onetther side of the ecity—from discharging (heir | waters, Which, In conjunction with the rain, caused | thet to burst thelr buands and sweep over a good portion of the city, carrying death and destruction in their wruck. Letitbe borne in mind that Mavan- zua 18 Situated on B peninsnia formed by the rivers mentioned, the Yumart on the north and the San Juan on the south, The surface of the city 1s varied, some points betug much higher than others, At the southwestern parc of tbe city proper, near the Piaza de Villanueva, the San Juan makes # sharp turn, changing its direction from north to cast, As the banks overflowed the current moved forward m a Girecs ine through the avenues of the city until it commingled with the waters of the Yamart, ana, aweeping down towards tae bay, flooded ali tae | hortheastern part of the clty and @ portion of the suburbs of Versalies, opposite.
