A CITY DESTROYED.
Retalbulsn Buried Under Lava and
Ashes from 4 Volcano.
PROBABLY 4 THOUSAND LIVES LOST.


San Francisco, June 7.-Another
city in Central America has suffered
almost complete destruction and
hundreds Of its inhabitants have been
killed by volcanic eruptions. The
steamer Palsna, which arrived yes
terday from southern ports, brings
the news that the town Of Retail
bulen, situated at the foot Of Mount
Tacoma, In Guatemala, has been
buried under q mass Of lava, stones
and ashes thrown from the volcanic
crater and probably 1000 Of It's peo-
pie have persisted. The volcano is
about rs miles from Champanico and
near the town Of Papachulo, which.
1t is believed, also suffered severely.
The eruption occurred several days
before the Palena arrived ct Cham
panico. The vessels officers were in
formed by the agent Of the Pacific
Steam Navigation company at that
place that the volcano had shown
signs of the impending eruption for
several days previous to the out
break. In fact, Mount Tacoma had
been restless ever since the great
earthquake Of April IS, which de-
stroyed the city Of Quezaltenango.
For weeks black pail OF smoke over
its summit and the glare from tho
crater frequently illuminated the
sky. Many Of the inhabitants Of Re-
talbulen fled from their homes to
places Of safety and these escaped
frightful deaths. When the eruption
at last broke forth in its full fury
showers Of lava, ashes and stones
were elected and covered the country
for miles around. The bay Of Cham
panico was mass Of floating pumice
and ashes.
No details were obtainable by the
officers of the Palena, but the loss Of
life was estimated at not less than
1000.
The same steamer brought a let
ter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., agents
Of the Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany, from G. NJ. Melville, their
agent in Guatemala, confirming the
report of the eruption. He also
stated that since the earthquake Of
April IS shocks had been Of almost
daily occurrence. A few days be-
fore the Palena sailed small vii.

Perhaps the most damaging state
ments made by the prosecution against

made by Horn and which was brought
