many other cities and towns. In Mex

5:17 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and
was Of such violence as to shake the
most substantial buildings. The Pan
American congress was in session at
the time. and many Of the delegates
were greatly alarmed. The first move
ment here was one of trepidation and
was very sharp. 1t was followed by
an easy oscillatory movement north
northeast to south-southwest. The du-
ration was fifty-five seconds. The dam
age in this city was slight.

been the focus of seismic disturbances.

money for the Indians. to be taken out
from here about Tuesday under mil
itary escOre.
The money will be all in silver and
transported in a large iron safe. The
Indians not only prefer the silver dollar
for use, but in the case Of a hoId-up by
road agents it is not so easily made
away with by highwaymen owing to its
bulk.

1TEXICO CITY. Jan. 17.-One Of the
Al most terrible catastrOphes in the
~ history Of the state of Guerrero
is reported to have occurred late yes
fariav afternoon. when an extremely
violent earthquake shock WAS felt at
ChHpanciugo. causing a great loss Of
life and injuring many persons.
Details from the stricken district are
very meager. but scattering reports re-
csived here indicate that probably 300
people were killed and as many more
injured. It is known that the state
csoitoL the parish church and many
bus ness houses and residences are in
ruins. and that there is much suffering
as "a result Of the awful seismic dis
turbanCe.
one of the edifces that suffered most
WAS the federal telegraph Office. which
explains the paucity of news that has
so far reached this city.
Meager details finally began to arrive
here. The telegraph lines and apparat-
us at Chilparcingo were badly dam
aged. but the employees. all Of whom
were unnjured, quickly proceeded to
erect an improvised telegraph Office on
the outskirts of the city.
The number of deaths was greater
I'm the parish church than in any sin
Gle place as a crowd of worshipers
was gathered there for the afternoon
service The solid masonry walls ana
the roof came topping down on the
worshipers and many of those within
were killed.
