LETTER FROM GUATEMALA.
Details of the Disastrous Central
American Earthquakes.

salt Lake May ll.-ln n letter dated
April I'D. Paul Henning. elder and rep
resentative OF the church in Guate-

the disastrous earthquakes in that
country:
"rhc whole northwestern region"
says Mr.. Hcnning. "one of the richest
in Central America. is in ruins. on
the evening of the 18th of April. about
S.2n. the first shock was felt. This
lasted from thirty to forty seconds and
caused the widest panic. There was
no loss of life in Guatemala City, and
the property damage was less than at
first feared. though walls were cracked
all over the city, and many old houses
We're tumbled in ruins. Ever since
then the shocks have continued with
more or less violence.
The worst damage was done in the
city of Quezaltenango. the second larg-
est in the country. Here ii is estimat-
ed from 5000 TO G,00o people We're
killed. Al the time Of the first shock
n violent thunder ana rain storm was
raging. The electric lighting plant of
the city had been disabled. and when
the people. panic stricken by the rum
| bling and shaking of the earthquake,
| rushed from their houses. it was only to
meet death. Stumbling and falling in
the narrow winding streets. in total
| darkness save when The lightning lit
| up the stumbling city with an unearth-
ly glare, the people died by thousands
under the falling walls. while other
| thousands were caught like rats only
to die of suifocation or drowning. The
quaking and rain kept up continually
for three days. This made it almost
| impossible to do any effective relief
work. and as a consequence. now that
the hot weather again prevails, the
stencil from the thousands of bodies
buried in the ruins is unbcarab'e and
