SAN FRANcIsCO, October 9.-The dam
age by the earthquake yesterday amounts
to considerable in the aggregate, many
houses needing new plastering and repair
ing Of broken windows. The Merchants
Exchange building and Custom House
will probably require rebuilding. No
really substantial, well constructed build
ings were seriously damaged.
IlSanta Cruz felt the shock more severely
than any other town in the State. Sew
eral brick houses were so badly damaged
that partial reconstruction is necessary.
A despatch from there says there was a
general tumble down of chimneys, and
those left standing are turned partly
around. The motion was apparently
from east to west. The ground along the
river opened in assures and spouted water
like so many geysers. The people are
unable to use some wells, which are either
dry or filed with sand. The chimney of
the powder mill was thrown down and
other injury done to the works. Portions
of the wall of the new hotel were thrown
down, but the foundation is all right.
The tide rose very high at the time of
the shock, but fell very low Immediately
after
There were eleven distinct shocks felt
since the first shock up to five o'clock this
morning. also a number of smaller vista
tions. The losses are estimated at about
$4,000, but may exceed this amount
Dates from Honolulu are received up to
September l6. The war steamer Saranac
arrived there on the 9Th. Nothing heard
from the Shenandoah.

tradict the report that President Juarez

correspondent of the Philadelphia Press.
published in the papers here this morning,
is an unmitigated falsehood, and only adds
another proof to the many we already
have of the unscrupulous character of the
agents of Macmillan, and of the means
they employ to support their unhOly
cause
L am in possession of official dates
from I'll PasO to the sth of September, FIVE
days later than the date of the letter o
the correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, and can aver that not only has
President Juarez never had the slightest
Intention OF leaving the territory of the
Republic but there is no occasion for his
doing so.
am sure so respectable and influential
journal as the Philadelphia Press can
not be aware Of the interested and utterly
unreliable character of these reports, or it
would not nave given place to a CORES
pondent at once so untrustworthy and
for an American so unpatriotic.
1 am, sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
j. N. NAvARA,
Mexican Consul General
