THE DISTRESS IN SPAIN.
STILL SHAKEN BY EARTHQUAKES.
Two Thousand Persons kiiled-FittY-
Five Towns Destroyed--Great Suf-

MADRID, Dec. sl.-Reports received this
morning from the districts in which the
earthquakes were most severe further IN
crease the number Of fatalities and the
amount of damage done. Albuquerque, a
town of 5000 inhabitants in Estremadura,
has been completely destroyed, and 800
bodies have been taken srom the ruins. AT
Neria, town of 5000 people, n miles east
of Malaga, the earthquake was followed by
a hurricane which completed the destruc-
ton of many houses. At Malaga the
patients in the hospital were so terrified they
forgot their maladies and fled
to the open air. The convicts in
the prisoners refused To enter their cells and
remained all night in the court yard. The
walls of every church in the city were cracked.
Many persons were killed at Canillas. The
old Moorish town of Albania, of the warm
baths" in Andalusia, twenty-six miles south
west of Granada, and which had popula-
ton of 1000 people, and the adjoining town
of Santa Cruz, are completely destroyed.
Soldiers are clearing up the ruins in search
of corpses. over 100 of which have been
found, many of them horribly disfgured.
The number of persons killed is unknown.

shocks. which cause the men to Tee from
their work and seek open spaces. Other
points report earthquake shocks. and the the
telegraph service has been repeatedly inter
rupted by them, causing the news to come in
very slowly. At Albunuelas 200 persons were
injured. From the ruined houses 100 bodies
have been recovered. Sixteen houses were
destroyed at Lanjaron, Granada, and numer-
Gus houses demolished and lives lost in other
villages. Fifty corpses have been found at
Ventas de Tain Arranza- At Zaffaraya fifty
persons perished. At the old Roman
town of Lola Q5,0OO pop.) twenty-six 5miles
from Granada the barracks were ruined
AT the ancient Roman and Moorish town
of Priego, 36 miles from Cordova, the shock
came while the theater was crowded with
people. A terrible panic followed. Many
persons jumped from the galleries and
from windows upon the crowd below. Two
were killed and forty more or less seriously
injured. King Alfonso has subscribed 81, 900
for the relief of the sufferers. The Madrid
newspapers have opened relief subscriptions.
Dispatches received this aftsrnoon from
many points in Spain report that earthquake
shocks are still felt at intervals. The indi-
cations now are that 1900 persons perished.
People who fled from the towns to the coun-
try upon the recurrance of the earthquake
shocks, still refuse to go back to their homes.
very distressing feature of the calamity is
the destruction of almost all medicines,
making it impossible To give proper treat
ment to the sick and wounded. For this
reason and for lack of food the mortality
among the sufferers is frightful. The total
number of towns reported nearly or wholly
destroyed is fifty-five. The university,
prison and hospital are greatly damaged.
