DEATH LIST REDUCED.

Not Nearly SO Many Lives Lost by
Eruption as Supposed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.--From
the Guatemalean coast the Pacific mail
steamer City OF Sydney brings the news
that the deaths resulting from the re-
cent eruption OF Santa Maria yJ.cano
amounted to about 5000. This estimate
is based upon the latest information
that had been received at San Jose de
Guatemala previous to the Sydney's de-
parture from this port. but It Is accom-
panied by the statement of Guatenal-
cans that reliable information was still
difficult TO obtain. This death list Is
considerably smaller than that pre-
vi1usly reported.
