EXCITED OVER A PROPHECY.

Scientist Predicts Severe Earthquake
Shocks in Mexico in the Near Future.
GUADALAJARA, Mex, Nov. 2.-Juan
Maria SojOres, celebrated weather
and earthquake prophet of the town
of Colima, made public the prediction
five years ago that the Colima volcano
would enter into an active state about
the middle of November of the year
1894, and that this renewal of her
nruptions would be preceded by the
severest earthquake shocks ever known
on the Pacific coast of Mexico, result
Ing in great loss of life and property.
AS the time approaches for the fulfill
ment of this prophecy, the excitement
among the poorer classes of people
living in the vicinity of the volcano is
growing very intense, and many peo
ole are leaving their homes until the
dreaded period is passed. Sojores
claims that his prophecy is based on
scientific principles, and that it will
be carried out to the letter. He has
removed to this city from Colima.
