SUMMING UP THE DAMAGE.

Constantinople, May 2s.-Advices
which reached here today from Asiatic
Turkey show that terrible earthquake
occurred April 20 at Melazgherd, in
the vilayet of Van, eighty miles south
west of Erzeroum, on the Euphrates.
The town was totally destroyed, with
its entire population, numbering
1000 souls, including 700 Armenians,
as well as the troops forming the
garrison of Melazgherd. In addition
over 400 houses in neighboring villages
collapsed.
A somewhat severe earthquake shock
was felt here this morning, but no
damage was done.

Consul Ojalvo, at Erzeroum, Turkey,
reports to the State department that
an earthquake in the canton of Malaz-

left the city in ruins. The shock was

turned their stables, which are built
level with the ground, into sleeping
