ceived here. No shock was felt here,
as was the case on April 1S last when
an earthquake practically destroyed
the town of QuezalteDango and re-
suited in the loss of many lives. It
is possible that the Hamburg paper
may have received mail advices re-
ferring to this earthquake.
Washington, May 23-Tne earth
quake reported in the Hamburg dis
patch resulting in the destruction OF
the city of Q1ealtenango, Guatemala,
is identified here as that which really
occurred on the 18th of April, and
which has been described to some ex-
tent in the American newspapers.
Information received here at the Qua
temalan legation shows that the city
was wholly destroyed and that San
Marcos and several other towns were
partially destroyed. The Guatemslsn
authorities decided to reconstruct
the city of Quealtenango On plain
some distance from the site of the
original place. Reports regarding
the destruction of life are incomplete,
but they indicate that at least several
thousand persons were killed and
that the property loss approximated
$5O,000,O00 in the April earthquake.

Tanned Human Skin.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 21.-The tan
ming of human skins is profitable,
if not popular industry in Chicago.
Shoes made from human skin are
worn in the Polish communities Of
the Northwest Side, and several
mounted pocket books manufactured d
from the same article conceals the
wealth of half the residents of the
district.
During the winter time, when the
medical schools are engaged in dis
secting work the demand is strong.
Five hundred skins year is not an
unusual record for the tannery. The
skins can either be sold to the pocket
book manufacturers or else the stu
dents can have them made up them
selves.

Root Glad to Get Rid Of Cuba.

Washington, May 22-Secretary
Root views with satisfaction the trans
ference of responsible relations with
Cuba from the department over which
he presides to the department of
State, but he anticipates fierce at
tack from Democratic sources upon
the administration of Cuba during
the years of the United States gov
erDment Of Intervention. It is re-
ported here that the Democratic Con-
gressionai committee, convinced of
the futility of attacks made by the
minority in the Senate upon the con-
duct of the army in the Philippines,
will turn its attentions at once to
Cuba for ammunition for partizsn
use at home in the coming battle for
the control of the house.
