One Of the most terrible catastrophes
IN the history Of the state Of Guerrero,
Mexico, Is reported to have occurred
Friday afternoon, when an extremely
violent earthquake shock was felt at
Chilpancingo, causing great loss OF
life aud injuring many persons,
Details from the stricken district are
very meager, but reports indicate that
probably 900 people were killed and as
many more injured.
IL Is known that the state capitol,
the parish church aud many business
houses and residences are In ruins and
that there Is much suffering as re-
suit Of the awful seismic disturbance.
One Of the edifces atsuffered most
was the Federal telegraph Office, which
explains the pauclty OF news. The
telegraph lines and apparatus were
badly damaged, but the employees,
all Of whom were injured, quickly
proceeded to erect an improvised tele-
graph 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 SER
vice. The solid masonary walls and
the roof came topping down on the
worshipers, and many Of those within
were killed.
The war department has ordered
troops IN the nelghborhood to cooper
ate n.the work " rescue. Until this
work Is completed 1t will be impossl.
BILE to accurately learn the number Of
victims.
IL Is believed, however, that this is
one OF the most destructive seismic
phenomena that has ever occurred In
Mexico. The greater part OF the pop.
ulatiou Of chilpancingo are now camp
ing out under tents around the town,
which is 1--we days journey from the
national capital.
