Many Houses In Ruins - Soldiers
Helping In Work OF Rescue-Shock X
Felt In the Capital and Many Other
Places.
Mexico City, Jan. 1S.-One of the
NEST terrible catastrophes ever re-
corded in the state OF Guerrero is re-
ported to have occurred late Thurs,
day afternoon when an extremely vio-
lent earthquake shock was ielt at
Chilpancingo, causing a great loss Of
life and injuring many persons.
! Details from the stricken district are
very meagre, but scattering reports re.
ceiyed here indicate that probably 300
persons were killed and as many more
injured.
II is known that the state capitol
the parish church and many business
| houses and residences are in ruins
and there is much suffering as a re-
suit of the awful seismic disturbance
One of the edifces that suffered most
was the federal telegraph office, which
explains the paucity of news that has
reached this city. Telegraph lines
and apparatus were badly damaged,
but the employees, all OF whom were
uninjured, quickly proceeded to erect
an improvised telegraph office on the
outskirts OF the city.
The number of deaths was greater
in the parish church than in any sin.
gle place as the crowd of wCrshippers
were gathered there for the after
noon service. The solid masonry

worshippers.
The war department has ordered
the troops in the nei -hborhccd to CO.
operate in the work Of rescue. Until
this work is completed ii will be i'm
possible to learn accurately the num-
Der of victims. II is believed that
this is one Of the most destructive
seismic phenomena that has occurred
in Mexico. The greater part of the
people Of Chilponcingo are now camp
ing out under trees around the town,
which is five days Journey from the
national hospital.
EARTHQUAKE shocks were felt in
many ether cities and towns.
In Mexico City the earthquake took
place at 5:17 p. m. and was of such
violence as to shake the most sub
stantial buildings The Pan-American
congress was in session at the time
and many Of the delegates were great
easier oscillatory movements north
very sharp. It was followed by an
easier cscillatory movement north
northeast to south-southwest. The
duration was 55 seconds. The dam
age in the city was only slight.
The state of Guerrero has always
been the focus of seismic disturbances.
Reports received here state that the
shock was very severe at Chilapa. No
casualties are so far reported from
there.
In duration the Chilpancingo shock
was less prolonged thanthat in Mexico
City, having lasted so seconds against

The earthquake was also heavy at

CUBA's COMMERCE.
Report of War Department Gives Fig
ures for 1901-02.

Washington, June 13.--The insular d.
vision of the war department has pre-
pared for publication the following ex-
tract from its regular monthly bulletin.
merce of the island of Cuba for the 10
months ended April 30. 1902 and 1901.
The total value of merchandise import
ed during the 10 months ended April 3d.
1902, was s55,S50,953. as against $54. 4l2, 262
for the corresponding period of 1901: and
the exports of merchandise during the 10
months ended April 30, 1902, amounted to
$39. III ,965 as against si9969,05O for the
same period of 1901. These figures show
an increase of per cent. i'm the imports
and a decrease of Il per cent. in the i'm
ports.
Gold and silver were imported during
the 10 months of 1902 to the value of
SS5S .00S, same period of 1891 s17i, COZ: exports
during the 1902 period SLICES, CORE
spending period of 1901. 1892, SIG.
The value of merchandise coming from
the United States for the 10 months end
cd April 30, 1902. was SO. S270is. an in
crease of about per cent. over the cor
responding period of 1901; while the eX-
ports for 1902 amounted to $26, 732,7 III, a
decrease of about $7,Goo,Oeo.
In the comparisons by classes for these
periods the import figures show de-
crease of nearly 100000 in articles of food
and animals. this class of merchandise
amounting to $25,6SS,591 for the 10 months
of 1902; manufactured articles during the
period of 1902 were imported to the value
of so S58. 493, a gain of 100000: raw ma
terials show an increase Of about per
cent. over the period of 1901 and de-
crease of about per cent. is shown in
the importation of articles of voluntary
use, luxuries. etc.
Agricultural exports for the periods
mentioned show a decrease of about $40
100000 as compared with 1901. the expor-
tation during the 10 months of 1902
amounting to S25, 424 173: manufactured
articles amounted to Ian .163 a slight
increase over the previous year; products
of the forest show an increase. and pro-
ducts of the mines show an increase OF
1929, 1873, or 6S per cent in favor of the 10
months of 1902
The loss in exports is confined almost
entirely to the sugar and tobacco trade.
Shipments of sugar for the period show
ing falling off of about $6,o00,0oo In the
expectation of tobacco for the 10 months
ended April, 1902, it would appear that
the demand for leaf tobacco from practi-
cally all countries, and particularly Ger
many, was materially less than during
the corresponding previous period, this
fact being accounted for by the inferior
character of the export crop, due To
heavy rains at an unreasonable period of
the cultivation.
