Particulars OF the Terrible Rarth.
quake I'm Columbia.
Mail advices from Barranguile, United
States of Columbia, bring additional accounts
of the destructive earthquake at Cuenia.
The story of the catastrophe is confirmed in
all its horrors and details. A private letter
dated Salazar May 25th says the number of
dead Is calculated at three quarters of the en-
tire population. A few families which were
saved are now on the outskirts of the city,
or what was the city, living on what they
can procure, but they will soon be obliged
to retire, as the putrefaction of the dead will
not allow them to remain. 1t is hcartrend-
ing to see the wounded who cannot remain
alive long in their present condition. Four
hundred mules were killed in the streets, and
as there is no one to remove them the stencil
is becoming frightful The villages of San
Christobal, Tarina, Guasima, Capacho, San
Labaters, San Juan de Urefia, Rosino and
San Cagetano are completely destroyed. The
storehouse of Puerta DE Los Cachos was
sacked and burned by bandits.
Another letter says such was the violence
of the shock that not O single house remained
standing, and monuments In the cemetery
were thrown down and many of them re-
moved to q great distance from their original
site. In thirty minutes the city Of Cuenta
was converted into q mountain of ruins. The
horrible blow resulted in the death of more
than 10000, in addition to other thousands
A great number Of ''haciendas" have been
destroyed and hundreds of houses in the
country overthrown, leaving people houselcss
and consigned to poverty. Many trees were
torn up and small hills opened like mclons.
