steamship Balize, which arrived at
Aspinwall to-day from Savinollo,
brings the following particulars pub
lished In the extra of Bauranguela
Shipping List of May 30, of terrible
earthquake in the Indies.
The steamer Terrible, which arrived
yesterday from the interior, neared our
city with her flag at half mast, indi-
eating that she was the bearer of un-
welcome news, and while there were
various conjectures as to its import,
none had for moment pictured the
colossal magnitude of the awful calam-
ity which had taken place. -.
The information which has rea ched
us on the subject is contained IN let
ter dated Salazar, the 10Th of May,
from which we extract and translate,
as follows: "At Halo A. NJ. of yester-
day, the 18th, II severe earthquake Wis
tied this city, large part of which
fell. Several houses were entirely de-
strOyed, and some people were Killed.
The city of Cucuta is entirely de-
strOyed, only a few families being
saved.
The Lotica Alemana, a German drug
store, was set on fire by ball of fire
which was thrown out of a volcano
which is constantly belching out lava.
This volcano has opened itself in front
of Santiago, on ridge called lei Alto
Deaca Girarcha. San Caystora was
destroyed, and large part of Santiago.
In Gramote there was great deStrllc-
ton. Arbulda, Cucuta and San Chris
tabol are nearly destroyed. The pop
ulation of these towns is estimated by
persons well acquainted, more or less,
as follows:
San Caystora, 1000; Santiago, 1000;
Gramote, 5000; Arbulda, 5000; Cucu-
ia, 5000; San Christubol, 10000.
The section of country above re-
ferred to embraces the regions around
about where Columbia and Venezuela
Join the Columbian portion, embracing
the state of Santander.. 1t is in some
respects the most productive of this
repablic, and the coffee of this section
is famous all the world over. One of
the destroyed cities (San Jose de Gu
certa), the city of the most
importance in the section, was situ-
ated on the boundary of the republic,
in latitude seven degrees seven min
utes north, longitude seventy-two de-
grees ten minutes west, and was found
ed by Juan de Marten in 1853. 1t was
port of enty, If an inland town can
be called port, and here was estab-
lished the custom house. The
population of the city at the
time of the disaster was esti-
mated at about eighteen thousand.
1t had q large commercial business,
and was the great depot for coffee and
cocoa, for shipment through Venezue-
la ports, or down the Magdalena, to
the city. The shock was felt sharply
in Bogota and adjoining sections. A
gentleman who was at Facativa, says
that the movement lasted three-qnar-
tiers of minute. 1t was slightly felt
in Barraquilla. The above particulars
are all we have been able to obtain for
this mail"
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June y One
hundred and twenty-five of the Gordan
party, whose wagons and personal
effects were recently burned by Major
Walker, of Fort Randall, will arrive
here tomorrow. These men asked of
the commander at Randall permission
to go back to Gordon City; from there,
but he would not permit it, he said this
was Walkers fuLeral, and he would
have no hand in 1t except To have the
men rationed aud set across the river.
The majority of them will procure new
outfits here and start at once for the
scene of the late outrage. Theirs are
between three and four hundred men
here now, and twice that number on
the road, who will go to Gordon City
and remain for the opening of the

ceeding in richness anything ever seen
in this country were brought in here
by the pony express last week, and
created great excitement here, espe-
cially among those waiting the slow
motions of the government. Another
party has arrived since Saturday with
more of the quartz, end IL will GER
tainly average over One-qliarter pure
gold, and there is not the slightest
doubt that it came here direct from the
Black Hills.
Major j. w. Brockett, one of the
leaders of the Black Hills party re-
Gently captured in Nebraska, arrived
In Yanktown last Friday, and made
statement to the Press of that city, in
effect as follows: "On the l4th OF
May the Gordon party was captured
by Major Walker, of the First in fantry,
In the state of Nebraska, and deprived
OF its arms and ordered to accompany
the command to Fort Randall a.
prisoners Major Brockett protested in
a gentlemanly but decided manner
against being taken to the Dakota re-
servation, where his men would be
completely in the power OF their cap
tors. Major Walker told him That
they mnst come along, and the order
was obeyed, until the Nebraska cross
ing was reached, when Major Brockett
told Major Walker that they would not
voluntarily cross-if lie wanted them
he must load them into wagons
and easy them upon Che Da-
kota reservation. They would
not resist, tut they declined to go.
After discussing the subject, Major
Walker concluded to release the arty
