SANTA ARIA ERUPTION
CAUSED HEAVY LOSS.
Total Ruin of Best Coffee PIantn-
lions in Observation-Disclosures
PHralEzcd.

WASHINGTON. November 15.-James
= McNallv the United States consul
general at Guatemala City, has made
report 10 the State Department in regard
10 the eruption Of Santa Maria volcano,
which occurred October Path, causing the
total ruin Of the best coffee plantations
in Guatemala. as we'll as half the coffee
crop for the year. the total known loss
being estimated at more than so,Veo"'G.
He saws the volcano is still active, ana
ashes are falling. in places thirty miles
distant from the crater. The valuable
coffee plantations noted for their large
and fine production are to-day covered
with from three to ten feet of mud and
ashes as well other matter from the
crater and the tops of the coffee trees
are scarcely noticeable. The losses to the
owners OF plantations is at this time IN
calculable. but it is conceded as conserva-
tive that the coffee loss will reach between
100000 and 900 quintalS of 100 pounds
each.
MANY IMPOVERISHED.
Most Of the ruined plantations We're
owned by Germans and the absolute loss
of the properties has impoverished many
who were before the oath instant reputed
wealthy Many owners had borrowed
money on the present crop, while others
had mortgaged. their plantations to for
sign banking houses, which carries
measure of misfortune to Europe. The
reported loss of life is meagre. and it Is
thought that the people escaped from the
vicinity Of the volcano at the first signs
of trouble from that source. Telegraphic
communication from towns contiguous to
the volcano is cut off.
The consul-general telegraphs that all
plantations within a radius of twenty
miles from the volcano are totally de-
stroyed.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
The consul-general says intense excite
tnent prevails at the capital at the loss,
which has had the effect of sending eX-
change skyward. quotations the day the
report was sent being 500 per cent. prem
