HAVOC IN MEXICO

| City of Mexico, Jan. 17:-One of the
most terrible catastfopaes ever record
ed in this country occurred late yes
terday afternoon, when an extremely
violent earthquake shock was felt at
Chilpanicingc, causing great loss Of
life and ipjuring many persons.
Details from the stricken district are
meaeer, but scattering reports received
here indicate that probably 300 persons
were killed and as many more injured
In some quarters it is reported that
600 were killed, but this is believed to
be excessive. 1t is known that the
State Capitol, the parish church and
many business houses and residences
are in ruins.
One OF the buildings that suffered
most was the Federal telegraph Office,
which explains why but few details
have reached this city so far. Though
the telegraph lines and other appars-
tus at Chilpanclngo were badly dauag-
ed, the employ es. all Of whom were
uninjured, quickly proceeded to erect
an improvised Office on the outskirts
of the city.
WORSHIPPERS IN CRASH.
The number OF deaths was greater
in the parish church than in any ether
single place, as a crowded. worshipers
was gathe'ed there for tie afternoon
service. The solid masonry walled
roof came topping down as if 1t had
been wrenched from it's bearings by
thousand strong hands.
The duartion OF the shock vas so

The War department has ordered
the troops in the nelghborhood to 90.
operate in the work OF rescue. Until
this work is completed it will be i'm.
possible to learn accurately the num-
Der of victims.

Chilpancingo are now camping out
under trees around the town. -
