learned that in ninety seconds one thousand
people were killed. 1900 manned and Grip
pied and the city of Quezaltenango of 10000
people destroyed by the earthquake of April
IS in Guatemala.
A man who was in Guatemala at the time
of the disturbances, whose coffee plantation
is only a few miles out from Quezaltenango.
was a passenger on the City of Para. In
speaking of the earthquake he said:
1T came about Sis in the evening. 1 was
out on open ground and had great difficulty
in keeping my feet The greatest damage
was at Quezaltenango, and the city was
practically destroyed. All the buildings
that were left standing are cracked and
shaky. They will have to be pulled down.
The loss is irreparable. My brother had
just completed a business block at a cost
of 100000. and it is a total ruin
There were three distinct shocks, each
more severe than the one preceding, but
the damage was all done within minute
and a half. Among the wealthier class the
loss of life was comparatively slight. prob
ably less than 100. though many were
bruised and injured. -
Those who fled from their houses into
the patois. or courts. escaped with slight
injury, but many of those who into the
narrow streets were either killed or suf-
| fered broken limbs. The loss of life was
greatest in the quarter occupied by the
Indians, natives. They are accustomed
to retire early, and nearly all were in their
houses as usual when the quake came.
1.-The houses are built of adobe and when
they collapsed entire families were buried
in the ruins. To add to the horror of the
situation overturned lamps and candles
fired some of the buildings.
"QuezaltenangO was a CHASTITY sight the
day following the earthquake. Bodies were
lying everywhere about the streets; here
would be a head, there a trunk, and limbs
severed by falling iron cornices or tim
bers; everywhere from the piles of debris
could be seen protruding arms and legs
The sight was horrible and one that cannot
be forgotten.
THE surrounding towns of San Pedro,
San Marco, San Juan, Amatitlan and So
lola were also destroyed. and the total dead
in these places will number nearly 1900

Fernie Mine Disaster Worse Than Was
First Reported.

FERNIE, B. c., May 4.-The loss of life
in the Coal Creek mines on Thursday is
ever worse than at first reported. 1t is
now estimated that from $50 10 175 men
met almost instant death. Superintendent
r. brennan, Dr. Bennett and True Wealth
erby were the first to enter the mine.
When about 500 feet into the working
brennan was overcome by the after
damp, and had it not been for his COM
panions would have perished. On being
removed to the outer air he recovered and
gave instructions to the rescuing party to
commence repairing the pipes which con-
duct the air through the mine, they
had been almost completely destroyed. 1t
was impossible to enter. owing to the
after-damp which prevailed. Volunteers
were called for and a score of men sprang
TO the work. Every few minutes the men
would collapse and were borne to the outer
air but their places were quickly filled by
fresh volunteers. The first body recov-
cred was taken from No. mine about IL
O'Clock and was that of Willie Robertson,
a lad of thirteen. Several hours elapsed.
and then three more bodies were recov-
cred None of the victims gave the slight
est signs of life. AT a. m. the relief par
ties had penetrated so far that the gas
became unbearable and operations had to
be suspended for an hour or two. Many
acts OF bravery were witnessed during the
night The mine is free from fire. and the
bodies will be removed as fast as the after
damp is cleared.
Relief parties are now working heroically
in fOur-hour shifts Thirty-eight bodies
have been recovered, but only one has been
found in the past fourteen hours. The

The mine workers, in case a strike is
called, expect to have enlisted $4,000 miners
and labcrers at the beginning in Virginia
and West Virginia, which is over three
fourths of the working population of the
coal sections. and they will also enlist in

organizations thoroughly organized es-

them through sympathy. This, with those
who will have to quit work on account of
