Austin, Tex., April 7?This city is tonight in pitch darkness with a ra<*in?; river one mile wide lllld kiv!111 (Ml fur lini'iind ilkti.ilnr.il banks,roaring and surging through I o n n o all the lower portions of tho town, having spread destruction and death in its wake. In addition to the vast loss to property interests it is calculated that between 30 and 40 lives have been sacrificed and the reports coming in from tho tributary country tonight do not tend to improve matters. The flood is not unlike the disastrous Johnstown flood some years ago, in that a raging river, already swollen far beyond its capacity, bore too heavily upon an immense dam spanning tho river here, meaning it and letting loose a reservoir of water 30 miles lon<*, | half a mile wide and G<> feet deep to aid in carrying destruction down the valleys of the Colorado river. The ^reat dam in the Colorado river pive way at noon today from the enormous pressure of water and debris, and with a roar andcra>h swept the valleys below the city, wrecking the immense lijiht and power plant and drowning ei<j;ht workmen. MORE KKl'OKTS OF DISASTF.lt. Waco, Tex., April 7?Reports of los* of life and damage caused by floods continue to pour in from all directions and indications point to a repetition of the disasters of last year. The loss of life to a great extent has already ?urpassed that of previous years. All streams, including the Hrazos and Colorado rivers, are overflowing the lowlands and rising very rapidly. The crop of cotton and corn are nearly completely submerged and will have to bo replanted. SITUATION IN AUSTIN DF.CIOF.DI.Y SKKIi US. Austin, Tex., April 8 ?

The wreck of the plant is com [iicic. i iip summon in mo city is most serious. The wreckage of the plant means that it will take several weeks to secure even a temporary water and light system if it can >>e made possible rvmi then. In the meantime the uitv will he in a hud sanitary condition. The river is falling tonight. lieports from the neighboring country are to the effect that fiverything is under water. In Williamson county, north of hero, railroad bridges and trackage have been laid waste and all trains have 'topped running Hundreds of lieads of cattle have noen drown sd and miles of fencing torn down wd washed away. In 1 last rop ounty and in th southern portion of this county similar coniitionw prevail, everything being inder water, and much loss of propel ty is reported.
