Six Hundred Arabs Drowned.

Constantinople, March 3.—Torrential rains have occurred in Mesopotania, and, as a consequence, the River Tigris has overflowed. In the Arma district a nomad tribe of 600 Arabs were drowned and over 30,000 cattle perished in the flood. The damage to property has been enormous.
