Scrvia. The capital of the county,
which is mainly peopled by Ruman-

the death roll will be greatly in-
creased when communication, which
has been almost completely cut off,
is restored. Bridges, telegraph

have been destroyed, and it is
feared that many of the survivors
of the flood will die of starvation
