Floods in India.

Widespread Destruction.  

CALCUTTA, August 12.    

Further details of the flood show that the town of Bardwan is six feet under water. Of its thirty  

thousand inhabitants, only two hun- dred reached the railway station.     Terrible loss of life is feared. The

line is submerged for fifteen miles,   cutting off communication with Cal- cutta. Many miles of country are   flooded, and thousands of people are homeless and starving, their houses   having been washed away and their   cattle destroyed.  

Timely warning enabled thousands   to escape from Bardwan. The offici- als employed elephants to drive people to safety.
