PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 24.—Reports re- ceived in this city to-night state that the heavy rains which have fallen almost in- cessantly during the past week through the State have resulted in the most dis- astrous floods experienced in many years. At Mauch Chunk the storm was at- tended by four fatalities. Jesse Struth- ers, & prominent citizen of Mauch Chunk and three boys named McClafferty, Mc- Ginley and Johnson, were standing on a bridge spanning Mauch Chunk _creek, when the supports collapsed and the four were precipitated into the water and drowned. The stream had become a rag- ing torrent by the bursting of a dam half a mile above the borough line. The Mauch Chunk creek is fifteen feet above its normal mark, and the towns in Carbon County along its course have puf- | fered much damage. Bridges, culverts and arches are destroyed, and the loss to the borough and to the il be many thousands of dollars. Busi- zess is at & standstill. At Wilkesbarre a landslide occurred elong the Lehigh Valley Raflroad at the eastern approach of the Vosburg tunnel snd trafic was suspended for several hours. A washout on the Sunbury branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad delayed traffic several hours. In Shamokin, Ta- smaqua, Pittston and other mining towns ‘many ‘collieries have been flooded and work has been suspended. At T ua the rain fell in torrents from 3 o'clock this morning until 8 this ®fternoon. The lines of the Central Rail- Toed of New Jersey between Tamagua end Mauch Chunk and the Pittsvijle ‘branch of the Philadelphia and Reading road are tied up owing to washouts.

The fourth clause, in refer- ring to the Platt amendment, says: “In making treaty returns with the United States, which treaty is to be re- spected, the Government should take ad- vantage of any favorable opportunity to influence the United States to reverse the clauses curtailing Cuban and sovereignty.” All of the letier was accepted except the last part, which was rejected by a vote of four to nine, though General Maximo Gomez voted for it. It was decided to send the letter to Senor Palma, with an account of the doings of the meeting, and to await a reply from him.
