Chilpanzingo. Mexico. has had sec
ond earthquake, destroying the houses
which were left after the previous one
but, as the people were all camping
out in the fields and parks. there was
no further loss Of life. The city IL
practically destroyed. Governor Mora
worked night and day in aid of suffer
ing families. The handsome parish
church is completely ruined, the huge
arches having fallen in few minutes
after the first shock of Thursday. but
the worshipers escaped.
In the neighboring towns in the
state of Guerrara many buildings were
wrecked, and number Of people
killed and many badly injured. The
shock was the elimination of several
years of seismic disturbances. Gen.
John B. Frisbie's sugar hacienda at
Atliftac was badly damaged. the esti-
mated loss to buildings and machinery
being 100000.
The old parish church at Chilpan-
lingo is of great historical interest, for
in it was held the first Mexican con-
gress, and there, on Sept. 10, 1913, was
signed the first declaration of Mexican
independence. The state capital opal
acio stado) of Guerrero is only a block
distant from the church. and though
but one story high is elaborate in its
interior, and richly furnished. Gov
ernor Antonio Mercenario has pala-
tial residence situated diagonally
across the plaza from the church. The
city has population of 5000 persons,
and the altitude Is 1900 feet The
three structures named were among
the best buildings of the city. The
town has but five wagons or vehicles

exaggerated sensation of hunger? The
fact is well recognized by members Of

especially by the late Captain Conrad,
the New Orleans diver, who died a few
months ago as the result of work in
the Maine wreck in Havana harbor.
