longed and threw the entire city into
indescribable panic. People crowded
the streets and tho squares, crying and
lamenting. The first shock also
threw down a number Of buildings. The
second shock was more severe and re-
suited In the crumbling of most of the
buildings in the Almendral quarter.
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into ter
rifle darkness. This, however, did not
last long, for the scene of destruction
was soon lit up by the fires that broke
out in this quarter. The light from
the fiames, Senior Groz continues. came
Gs welcome relief from the darkness.
The people were in a state OF terror,
many believing that the end OF the
world had come.
Among the buildings destroyed were

done on the lower ground reclaimed
