earthquake in South America. Cucuta

The killed are calculated at 5000 RO-
aario, San Antonio, Capcho, Gerasimo,
Saniuan De Urna, San Cayetano, San

adjoining villages are in complete ruins.
Salazur suffered severely, and the adj
Joining country is nearly devastated.
Chinacota, Chapo, Carriplora, Cucutilla,
Areboldas. Santiago Gallindo and Gram
alote have also been great sufferers. The
number of the dead in CuCuta is calcu-
lated at three.tourths of the whole popu.
lation. The few families saved are on
the outskirts OF what was the city, but
they will soon be obliged to move, as the
putrefaction of the dead will not allow
them to remain 1t is heartrending to see
the wounded, who have no care, and who
cannot remain long alivein their present
condition. Thieves and robbers swept
down on the ill-fated city, and hardly II
single safe has been saved from the Gus
tom house. The pillage is general. Four
hundred mules were killed in the streets,
and as there is no one to remove them
the stencil is becoming frightful. The
store.house at Puerto de Los Cachos was
sacked and burned by bandits.
In Piedccuesta he town hall was dc
stroyed, and Pampeluna is in ruins. The
Venezuela side has suffered, if possible,
more severely than the Columbian.
