Latin as Naval Officer of the Port of New-IOrk
without debate and without reference to commit
teo. The nomination Of Mr. BTanniCan of Texas TO

yarding his place Of residence. The nomination of

The following private advices have been received
in this city from Maracaibo respecting the iate
earthquake in South America:
MARAoAIBo. Venezuela. June 21.-In my last iet'et
gave you the latest obtanabe details OF tho terrible d
aster in Colombia and Venezuela Those who s"rVi'e
are completely ruined and In want OF the necesaros
of life Tic latest and careful estimates place the
number OF lives lost at $4,000 The greatest amount OF
suffering is Ciicltl San Crisoba came 10 inc eronu

was completely destroyed. the walls falling IN such
that only were saved orr ~ the en-
tire population To give you the details Of the disaster
would involve the telling Of "a neverending story. A
horrible putrd fever raging wherever the dSaster OK
tended.
An unpreccdonedly dry period prevailed before tho
earthGuakc and ius: the shocks endeh Pc'
feet d. lure Of rain descended for short time ihs "aS
followed by burning sum- ard the result is that cccohi-
position in and the mass Of human ana othei oo"''
rave forth loathsoe efnvia which rpencd INTO
pestence that spread death in every diiecuon many
persons who to the ruins To recover some Poio
OF their property fell victims to this putru ie'cr
Among them was Seior j. Urquihaona, large CONES
dealer well known in NewYork from the character OF
burned TO DEATH but having returned to the runs ior MS
moro valuable property, lie was attacked by the pesu
lence and died.
The losses to the community Of MaracaibO are very
heavy Some persons lost property to the vaine Oh
100000 gold Tho total loss Is estimated at about
s1OOOOOOO. In the communities which have suffered
greatly the better class OF people, living In substantial
houses were killed, while the poor classes. living in
dilapidaed or frame houses escaped The result was
that the vicious classes had full sway They paged
and robbed and guilty Of other exccssos until the
authorities arriving with sufficient force. put summary
end all atrocities by shooting the guilty persons on the
spot One Of of the evils inflicted was the burn
ing coffee warehouses at Maracabo by the thieves
In their search for plumber they set fire 10 the ware
houses accidentally, 1t is supposed, and 10000 bags OF
coffee and number of the thieves were burned IL IL
expected that the fever abaes the SURVIVORS
will return to their several places Of residence tn look
after their property. All the advices are very gloomy
and IL Ia expected that at least quarter Of the coffee
crop has been destroyed The heavy rains finished the
ruin that the earthquake began.
