AN EARTHQUAKE PANIC.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE AND PROP
ERrY IN SALVADOR.

Whole Towns Reported Wiped Out
of Existence in Various Parts of the
Country-The First Shock Felt at 2
c'Clock In the Morning-Long Earth
Swells.
New YORK, Sept. 10.-A special to the
Herald from San Salvador says millions
or dollars worth OF property and many
lives were destroyed in that republic by an
earthquake yesterday. Whole towns
were wiped out, and as far as ndvices re-
oeiyed Indicate, hardly city
in the country except those along the
coast escaped the awful effects of the con-
yul,ions At five minutes before 2 o'clock
Yesterday morning the earth began to
shake. The wave dad a strong vertical
aud oscillatory movement. People
rushed into the streets in their night
clothing.
FLED IN A PAEIC.
While the shock lasted only twenty
seconds before it passed away, the panic
stricken people were making their way to
the opsn country outside of the city. The
scene was terribly sublime. Men, women
and children were shrieking and praying in
the streets. The walls of houses cracked,
tottered and fell. A deep continuous rumb-
ling as If heavy thunder, was heard, the
sky was overcast and the air was filled with
fine penetrating dust. While the shock
lasted the earth rose and fell in long waves.
Strong men were unable to keep their feet
The inhabitants were afraid to return to
their houses. President Ezeta ia doing
everything he can to stop the panic and
care for the homeless.
SUFFERING IN OTHER TOWNS.
Other towns throughout the country have
suffered more severely than the capital.
Analqueto and Comasagua are completely
destroyed. Cojutepeque, Santa Fecla, San
Pedro and Masabenet are so badly shaken
that they are probably ruined, while the
shock was plainly felt and damage done by
it at Santa Ana and Jusimetpeque, sixty
miles away. 1t is impossible to form any
idea of the number Of lives lost. Two were
killed here and it is feared that many were

DE FREYCINBT GIVES A BANQUET
TO THE GENERALS.

The Minister Dwells Particularly OF
the Pacific Tendency of the Govern.
ment-The Army Declared the Frin.
cipal Element OF Frances influence
in the World.
PARIS. Sept. 10.-The banquet given 10.
day at Vaudeuyer by NJ. de Freycinet
president of the council and minister oi
war, to the French generals who are taking
part In the army maneuvers and to the
military attaches who are watching them
was a most brilliant affair. It was sppa,
rently selected as the occasion for the
French government, through M. de Frey
cinet, to give utterance to its views upon
the peace prospects Of Europe. M. de Frey
cinet, during the course Of speech, made
several references to the pacific tendency Of
France.
OBJECT OF THE MANEUvERs
The leading idea of the maneuvers. he
said, was to throw light on and to give ex.
ercise in the duties of commander in chief.
The result showed that the supreme COM
mand worked as satisfactorily az
the army corps and divisional com.
| mandr. This was very considerable
result, and he congratulated every one on
1t, from the soldier in the ranks to the com.
mander-in-chief. Next year, continued th,
minister Of war the territorial troops will
for the first time take part in the army
maneuvers. aud he trusted that the generals
would continue their efforts to perfect the
army, which was the principal element oi
| Frances influence in the world.
NOT A TICKLE GOVERNMENT.
The progress made by tho French army
was clear evidence of the fact that the gov.
ernment Of the republic, in spite of surface
changes, was capable OF long conceived
designs. Nobody" NJ. de Freyoinet said
''now doubts that we are strong or that we
| shall prove to be wise. We know how to
maintain that oaimness aud dignity in ths
DAYS of misfortune which have paved the
way to recuperation." The first and second
periods OF maneuvers have ended and the

GLASGOW, Sept. 10.-A terrible accident,
due to somebody's carelessness, occurred
here to-day. A number of railroad laborers
were engaged in repairing q railroad track,
along which a number of trains were con-
stantly passing. AS usual in such cases the
drivers Of all the passenger engines were
work at the point referred to and to whistle
when nearing it. This warning seems not
to have been given by the driver Of an ex-
press train, or else he forgot his Instructions.
In any case the express train dashed into
the midst Of the working trackmen and
killed five men upon the spot and severely
injured number of others. The usual Of

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Gov. Steele of
Oklahoma is in the city. lie is very en-
thusiastic about the speedy settlement Of
that territory. He declares it to be as
good as the best of Kansas. The Cherokee

says that Oklahoma will De admitted to
vote in 1896 if O republican President is
elected in 1892. 1t would have population
enough by that time for three rep
resentatives and five electoral votes
1t would certainly include the
whole Indian territory, bringing In
the civilized tribes Of the eastern part with
$4,000 people and by far the best lands,
capable Of sustaining millions OF people.
There are many white men among these
Indians married to squaws, more half
breeds, and at least 5000 negroes. A great
many negroes from Texas, Kansas and
Missouri are going to Oklahoma. OF
course they are republicans. The
white emigration is about equally

better to work with politically as were the
negres of the couHtry at the close OF the
war, and are very likely to be controlled by
the republicans if brought into the union
under republican auspices.

STRIKE OF THE COTTON PICK RRs.
South Carolina Not Alarmed by the
Threat.

CHARLEsToN,S. c., Sept 10.-The follow
ing special from Darlington, this state, gives
the views Of the South Carolina farmers of
the cotton picker'5 strike. "The SITUATE n
here in reference to a probable strike of
the cotton pickers in the colored
farmers alliance excites no
apprehension among the farmers.
Il is not believed, despite, what has been
said, that the strike will be ordered; but il
it ls the demands will not be Considered
The opinion prevails among the farmers In
terviewed that where they are con-
fronted with such a condition Of affairs
the colored people could not sustain their
position for many reasons, the most promi-
nent being the lease system and the plan of
farming on shares, which prevails here to O
great extent. No official or definite action
on this subject has yet been made public,
and no alarm is felt by our farmers gen.
erally."
SENSIBLE ADVICE.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. l0.-The
HcGytne'S Houston (rex.) special says:
ANDREW J. Carothers, for years at the
head of the colored alliance in the south
is out in an open letter to
bis people warning them against
the Humphrey scheme of demanding
exorbitant prices for cotton picking. He
denounces the author Of the scheme as well
as the plan itself, and urges the negroes to
live in harmony with the white farmers,
alleging closely interviewer interests of
the two classes as reason
in business light, and the danger of STIR
ring up strife as a further Incentive to
peace and quiet in all particular. lie says
If cotton were bringing 10 or II cents, a
better price for picking could, in justice, be
demanded. But at the present rates no
man can pay en- advance"

Particular concern is felt at the depart

the Yang Use Kiang river from Hankow,
which is as far above the mouth
as vessels OF war can make their
way under ordinary circumstances. In
time of high water light draft war vessels
may get above there, and in fact the Assue-
lot and Monocacy have each succeeded in
reaching Ichang; but unless there is high
water IN the river at present Admiral Belk-
nap will have difficulty in getting vessel
