THE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN CENTRAL
AMERICA

We have received files of San Salvatore and
Gautmala papers, which contain further partlcu-
lars of the frightful Earthquake, which few days
since announced had caused such fearful des-
truction in the province of Carriage. We translate
these below.
From the Correo Semanario del .Salrador
FRIGHTFUI INTELLIGENCE FROM COSTA RIcA.-
Copy Of a Letter from the City Of Hercdia.-The
Earthquake sudden, that those persons who
escaped, had hardly time to TO get out of their
houses before the falling of the walls.
In a second the department of Carriage has be-
come a total ruin. The destruction is so great,
that the site of any particular edce is hardly be
distinguished among the ruins In the city, the
houses even to the stone work were thrown up
wards by the shock, and fell down again in heaps
of rubbish.
The inhabitants of those villages in that Depart
ment which have suffered the least, have assem-
bled, by order of the Government, with spades and
picks to dsinter the bodies. They are now hard
at work, and will continue digging while necessa-
ry. People perish in the Streets in the plazas and
in the churches All provisions are beneath
the ruins, and suffering horrible state of
want which is likely to continue, for the fences
having been thrown down, the cattle are destroy
ing all they can reach. In Turidaba, Tres-ros,
Cartago Paraiso, Ui,mes, and even to the vicini-
ty of Maina, there is not left single shed; and in
every of the valleys, and on the hacendes, we
find proportlonate destruction. From San Joso to
this place and to Alajuea, the ruin is considerable.
In San Joso, number Of edi6ces were thrown
down, and those houses that standing are I'M
inhabtable. We are hardly better off in this city;
and Alajuela has Jared worse than we have. Tran
quillinia Bonilla and his family are among those
taken from the ruins. They are alive but bruised
and crippled. The number of sufferers is very
great. Bodies are disinterred that cannot be re,
cognised, -shapeless masses and headless trunks
everything is horrible confusion Up to the pres
ent moment there is eruption from the neigh
boring volcano the shocks continue without ces-
sation-and no one can tell how it will end.
The great shock took place at clock on the
morning of the second of December
