Three hundred bodies have been buried in the city of Ponce, and it is estimated that 2.000 persons were drowned in the Ponce district. The number of people of the lower classes loss is not known, but it is certain that there were few fatalities among the people of the better class and none among the Americans. The work of clearing away the debris progresses slowly. Senor Luis tiautier has been appoihted Alcade, the former incumbent of the office having been deposed on account of negligence Considerable unrest has been manifested among the people and a cavalry patrol has been established.

The rentier* of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known tp the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation jf the disease, ! and giving the patient strength by I building up the constitution and as- j sisting nature in tloing its work.
