CITY DESTROYED.
Later Reports Reduce Estimate
of Dead at ChilpancingO.

City of Mexico, Jan. 1s-Details from
the earthquake district are very meager
but scattering reports received here in
dicate that probably 800 persons were
killed and as many more injured. 1t is
known that the state capitol, the parish
church and many business houses and
residences are in ruins, and that there
is much suffering as a result of the aw-
full seismic disturbance
One of the edifices that suffered most
was the federal telegraph office, which
explains the paucity of news that has so
far reached this city.
The telegraph lines and apparatus at
Chilpancingo were badly damaged, but
the employees, all of whom were unin-
jured, quickly proceeded to erect an inn
provised office on the outskirts of the
city.
The number of deaths was greater in
the parish church than in any single
place, as a crowd of worshipers was
gathered there for the afternoon service.
The solid masonry walls and the roof
came toppling down on the worshipers
and many of those within were killed.
The war department has ordered
troops in the neighborhOod Incorporate
in the work of rescue. Until this work
is completed it will be impossible to
learn the number of victims. 1t is be-
heved, however, that this is one of the
that have occurred in Mexico. The
greater part of the population of Chill
pancingo is now camping out under
tents around the town, which is five
days journey from the national cap
ital.
