CONDITIONS AT MONTEREY

Prompt Measures Were Taken to Feed and House the Homeless. Laredo, Tex., Aug. 31.—While conditions are gradually being brought back to normal as fast as willing workers can bring ab out the results, it will be many days before Monterey will resume Its wonted tranquility. Prompt measures were taken to house and feed the homeless and very few, If any, have been permitted to go hungry.* Of the 400 or more bodies thus far recovered about 30 per cent have been identified and were interred during the morning and late this afternoon.
