PASAM.s.. November IA severe. earth
quake was felt in MeniZ2les, the capital OF
Antioquia- on the 10th Of October. One
hundred and twenty-one houses were de-
stroyed, including the church, the hospital,
the principal school, the city buildings, and
many others. No lives were lost. aa the
shock Was long sustained, and its principal
force was at its termination:
Adyicns from Salvador state that the vol
canoes OF Peru. lzalco, and Santa Nuna gre
in state of tremendous activity. tm the
latter, from four or five distinct openings,
smoke, Ere, and ashes are pouring forth in
vast volumes. The Inhabitants in the neigh
boring villages arc terribly alarmed, and,
while some have fled in terror, whole COM
munities are seriously contemplating reno.
wing to- more secure localities. So far no
lava has descended from. the mountains. and
no unusual shocks OF earthquake have added
their Influence to the general fright.
The intelligence of the severe earthquake
in the southern portion OF the republic IS
fully confirmed. The destruction appears
to have been complete. The loss OF life and
property is great.
The Valley OF the Conca, one oil the most
fertile and popuous portions OF the repub-
lie, has suffered fearfuIly from the incur
sions OF the grasSllepprrS. All the growing
crops have been completely ruined-namc-
ly, sugar-cane ecrn, and Wheat-ln the up
per porton OF the valley, and all sorts OF
grasses, so that cattle cannot suDsist except
I'm lIalf-starved condition. Prices OF pro-
visions OF all classes are eNorbtantly high,
and as the sugar estates and large haciendas
have suspended work, the poor are unable
to purchase the neceSSarics OF life. The
Government, with the view OF furnishing
them with the means OF support, IS pushing
the construction of the Conca Valley rail-
road, which will give employment 10 thou
sands.
Rumors OF the revolution in Ecuador
are stirring afresh. Several arrests OF prom
inent citizens OF Guayaquil have been
made, and others have been banished from
the country. They are accused OF planning
the assassination OF the President and OF
his most trusty adherent$, and OF over
throwing the Government. 1t is believed
the whole story is manufactured by the
Government to enable them to get rid OF
influential political opponents.
In Peru two Cabinet ministers have re-
signed, the principal OF whom was the Min
ister OF Finance. lie was accused OF secretly
loaning to the representatives OF Henry
Meicgs's estate S9O0,V00 in nitrate ccrtih-
Gates. upon which he allowed an issue OF
sac. 600 in billetS, which amount had pre-
yiously been retired from circulation i'll
order to be burned. The jealousy between
the political parties at the opening OF the
Coprress still continues, and it is doubtful
if the legislation effected during the session
will at all improve the financial situation.
Rumors prevail that Don Nicolas de Pcrola
meditates another revolutionary attempt.
