The United States flagship, Rich
mond, IL here,
A correspondent Of the Star and
Herald, writing from Contcqua, Guale-
mnlN, under date of the 18th Instant,
reports that m earthquake took place
this evening about half past three
o'clock, without any previous warn
Ing. The earthquake shook the ground
violently IN direction from west to
east. The movement was series OF
strong vertical and horl1onal impulses
combined. The wave-lkc undula-
lions on the surface rose and fell NJ
least foot. This action alone with
the above mentioned vertical move
ment made II almost impossible to
move about without being thrown
to the ground, Added to this
there were the piercing cries OF the
populace the creaklng and cracking OF
walls loud sounds like thunder from
the earth beneath, the rafting noise
of the tiles of houses and walls fall
ing, which together formed hideous
concert which can never be forgotten
1t IL very dark, too, aud every Visi-
BILE object was In violent motion. Long
after the first shock had passed there
was still the noise Of walls falling more
or less distant Suddenly there arose
n sound of hundreds of voices chanting
hymn to the Creator for mercy
Shocks followed during the night, of
varying intensity, every one OF when
gave rise to new alarms and new I'M
plorations for mercy. The night
seemed an age in length. Fortunately
no rain fell. About two dozen houses
that were inhabited have been de-
stroyed, causing, as far as could be
learned, the loss Of thirty-two lives.
The number damaged and which Will
have to be taken down, will be found
considerable.
At Guatemala, the capital, the
shocks were felt but slightly. The In
diuns say three villages at the foot OF
the volcano have been destroyed,
though this wants confirmation. The
squares and open places of ANTIGUA are
all covered with tents and other abodes
for protection. The inhabitants fear
the approaching night, expecting q
repetition OF the earthquake at the
same hour. Even carriages and carts
serve as temporary abodes.
