mala, April 26.-For nearly week
earthquakes have been tumbling down
cities, towns and villages on the vest
ern Slope OF the Sierras in this repub-
lie.
On the night of April 1s, at the CAPT.
tai, a binding flash of lightning, fol-
lowed by a thunderstorm and torrents
of rain, all in the space of very few
minutes, caused the people in the
streets to rush for shelter. In an in
slant, however, the earthquake was
upon them. g
Rushing frantically into the darkness
and thru the flooded streets, anyhera
away from the straining rafters and
cracking walls, ran the multitude, cry
ing, praying and few trying to sing
the Salve Regina.
The following shocks were less Sc
we're and by 10 o'clock many of the in
habitants We're wandering about, ex-
amining the walls of the cathedral OF
Santa Teresa, La Recollection, and other
churches which We're more or less in
jured.
News soon began to come in from the
hill country where Quesantalango is
situated. This, the second city of the
republic, suffered by far the most.
Hundreds of residences and public
buildings were either totally destroyed
or seriously damaged. The very mar
row streets, often not over three or four
yards wide, and the irregular manner
in which the town is built served to
make death traps of the houses, SO
that, altho not half of the debris has
yet been removed, fully 200 bodies have
been recovered, and many persons
were badly injured. Fire. as well as
flood, added to the horror of the night,
with the result that many people have
gone insane and others have committed
suicide.

considering the cxtent of the disaster,

The sessions of the national congress
at Guatemala City have been suspend
ed. The meetings of the national cons
mittee for the Louisiana purchase ex-
position, which Commission Chandles
attended by special invitation. were
continued without interruption for two
hours, tho the earthquake shocks made
the large crystal chandeliers of the pail
ace swing like pendulums over the
heads of the commissioners.
Approximately $4,000 people have
been left homeless and public as we'll as

Cedar Rapids, May 9.-At 4:30 yes
terday afternoon Judge Remley entered
his decision on the Peter Mineck case,
the case which has become somewhat
notorious from the hue and cry which
has been made over the judges decision
many days before the decision was rem

are materially different from thos
which have been prematurely sent O
over the state. 4 ,
Judge Remley did find, however, t .S
the defendant had sold Intoxicating .
quor in the form of hard cider and. t
he had sold several gallons of it on the
same day to the same parties, men who
were in the habit of using liquors. A
personal injunction is issued against
the defendant restraining him from
selling intoxicating liquors and it is
ordered that he pay the costs, which
amount to $500.

Company, under the management of

ference as The price of the restoration
