1000 KILLED IN 60 SECONDS
City of ouszaltenango Destroyed hg

San Francisco. May 24-By advicea brought by the steamer City of Para. it is learned that in ninety seconds LOO peo- pie were killed, over 4.000 maimed and crippled and the city of Quezaltenangos of 4o.0o0 people. destroyed by the earths quake of April IS. in Guatemala.
 A man who was in Cuateuaala at tha time of the disturbance. whose coffea plantation is only few miles 6ut from the town, speaking of the carthQuakes said:
 Tt came about s:15 in the evening. rhs greatest damage was at Quezsltenangos and, the city was practically destroyed All the buildings that were left stand~ ing are cracked and shalky. They wilE have to be pulled down. There were three distinct shocks, each moro seyerd than the preceding. but the damage was all done within a minute and half. Those who fled from their houses into thd patios. or courts, escaped with slight in~ jury. but many who ran into the narrow streets were either killed or suffered bfoken limbs. The loss of life was great~ est in the quarter occupied by tho The dians or natives. To add to the horrcr of the situation, overturned lamps and candles fired some of the buildings. The piaco was ehastly sight the day fol- lowing the earthquake. Bodies and parts of bodies were lying everywhere about the streets. The surrounding towns oG San Pedro. San Marco. San Juan, Aniati- talan and Soiola were also destroyed ana the total dead in these places will numben nearly l.Oc0.',

an equally inordinate capacity for hard work"
 All the afternoon newspapers contain long sympathetic sketches of Lord Pauncefote.
 Sketch of Lord Pauncefote. The Right Hon. Lord Pauncefete, of Preston, c. c. B., c. c. M. G.. the first ambassador to the United States and the dean of the diplomatic corps in Washing tin. was born in Munich, Bavaria, 7l years ago and was the issue of ons of the
 most ancient of British families. whose
 history is found in tho Doomsday book.
 Educated as . lawyer. his governmental
 services began in Hong Kong as attor-
 ney general in 1s65. and after much valua-
 ble colonial experience he came to Wash
 ward as first ambassador. His service
 here has been one unbroien record of successful diplomacy. The Bering Sea negotiations were among his earliest work of importance and 1t was his familiarity with that difficult subject that led to his selection by the foreign ofilce for the post at Washington.
 The arbitration treaty negotiated with Secretary Olney was the forerunner of the great work accomplished at The Hague, and 1t may be said that 1t em- bodies some of the most important prin- ciples of the great general convention regulating arbitration afterwards framed by The Hague conference. Then came a number of reciprocity treaties and arr engagements involving a vast amount of study and work. all of which were per fscted as far as the executive branch of our government could cooperate with Lord Pauncefote. Soon after Secretary Hay assumed office Lord Pauncefote be- gan the work which he himself regarded as the greatest accomplishment of his busy life. namely, to forever set at rest the questions growing out of the old Clayton Buiwer treaty and entered with energy again upon negotiations, the result of which was the framing of the Hay Pauncefote treaty recently ratified.
 For these valuable services the British Government did Lord Pauncefote the honor to three times extend the term Of his service at Washington, which would otherwise have ceased when he attained the age of 70 years.

They have one common purpose-the cross to advance Christian ity; the flag to make this Christian coun- try the greatest power o hearth

London. May 24.-The news of the dcatl of Lord Pauncefote. the British ambas sador at Washington. this morning, wal conveyed by a representative of the As. sociated Press to the British foreign offict and the United States embassy.
 The officials were greatily shocked and expressed the deepest sympathy with the widow and realization of the loss which both countries has sustained. The Brit ish officials were particularly affected, as. apparently, they had no idea that the ambassadors condition had been critical
 No action will be taken. in all probabil- ity. except the sending of private mes sages of condolence before Monday next.
 The Empire loses one of its first diplomats" is The Westminster Gazette's g comment on the death Of Lord Paunce- fote
 He filled many posts, and always with success" continues the Westminster Gazette. His stay in Washington was prolonged because there was no one in the diplomatic service to replace him who possessed anything like his status, influence or power for good. As the representative of Great Britain in the United States at the time of the Venezue- bered with what tact and judgment he handled a situation which. in less skill full hands. might have led to the most deplorable results" .' History will probably do justice to the tactful, conciliatory methods by which Lord Pauncefote seconded the efforts of Lord Salisbury to secure an amicable set- dement, comments The St. James Gazette. "in relation to the same. decided ly strained situation
 The Pal Mall Gazette also refers to the brilliant Ambassadors adroit. tscti- fur steering through difficult straits, when the circumstances of Sackville's s recall did not tend to smooth the path of his successor and when there were awkward matters between the United States and Great Britain which required judieious handling" and says he was practical and business-like. had a great kAowiedse ofiforeign ailairs and

 Judgment Day Near at Hand.

San Juan, P. R.. Mays2A-The most brilliant sunset ever seen here was wit messed last evening. It was caused by the reflection of the rays of the sun through an atmosphere laden with smoke and other volcanic matter \
 Director Thompson of the weather bu- reau was not willing to say that the phenomenon was caused entirely by the eruption of Mount Pelee. but thought that the volcanic disturbances contributed largely to it.
 The expectations, people of the lower class have this week been preparing for the end of the world which had been pre- dtcted' for Thursday last. On that day the peons in several places refused to work the children remained away from scsooi and the inhabitants of the rural districts attended special mass.
