Another Account.
A private letter from San Salvador states that
earthquakes commenced there on the 4th of
March and all the people left the place. On
the 10th nearly the whole city was in ruins.
The troops were guarding property from the
plumber of Indians and others who always flock
in when earthquakes occur. The qual1es were
frequent, though not heavy, yet threw down the
walls by the recurrence of the shakes. Most of
the people were then in the neighborhood sleep
in the open air. The earthquake reported to-
day via Asoinwall must have been since that
date, and much heavier.
