found as the debris is searched.
The buildings destroyed include the
Seventeenth battalion's barracks, from

rare presence of mind and giving the
order for them to march to the street
when the first rumbing of the earth be-
gan on Thursday. The parish church,
which was being repaired having been
injured in recent earthquake, was
destroyed.
When the shock began. it was nearly
filled with w0rshipels, who fed in dis
may, women being knocked down by
men, but fortunately all had gained the
street when the heavy stone arches
escaped, though the soldiers are renov-
ing the wreckage, which is piled up in
great" heaps.
Governor Mora and his secretary es-
capped from the state palace in time to
save themselves and proceeded to nid
the wounded and the panic stricken
populace. The statue of General NicO-
las Bravo was thrown down. and the
town government building was so bad
ly cracked that its fall is momentarily
expected.
