me days ago Salvador appealed
,ths Mexico and the United States

hope Of securing an armistice
IN Central America through the influ.
ence of these two republics. This
plan failed and Salvador is now try
ing to end the struggle by other
means.
It is the contention of Salvador that
she is not at war with Nicaragua.
never having formally declared war
against the republic. Salvador main
tains that she has in way been
drawn into the struggle through Mic.
araguan revolutionists who were in
Salvador at the time war began be.
tween Honduras and Nicaragua These
revolutionists, so Salvador says, left
Salvador and Joined Bonilla's army in
Honduras. BY permitting these revo-
lutionists to leave Salvador and take
up arms against Nicaragua Salvador
incurred the i'll will of President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua.
II has been generally understood In
diplomatic circles that Salvador was
actually at war with Nicaragua and
had furnished many troops to the Hon
durans. 1t is denied, however, by Mr..
Mejia that war actually exists be-
tween his country and Nicaragua.

Constantinople. April 5.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received
here from Rev. Royal M. Cole, head
Of the American mission at Bitlis:
: AT 10 o'clock in the forenoon of
March 20 there burst upon us unan-
nounced the worst earthquake wit
messed in forty years in these or the
Erzerum volcanic regions. Such was
it's force that our city seemed to be in
the jaws Of some monster who would
shake us into shreds, as mastiff does
his game. Down came the plastering,
the furniture was overturned, cracks
were opened in strong walls, roofs
were shattered and rain poured in
During the first day there were four
teen shocks and they still continue.
There have been altogether twenty
eight shocks. Of the 1000 houses here
over 800 have fallen and half the re-
mainder have been seriously damaged,
about $50 to $500 being needed to re-
pair each house. The officials report
that eight persons were killed by fall
Ing walls. Many persons were wound
ed and many churches, mosques and
government buildings were damaged"

the front wall of the building from
the fourth story and up and shook
portions of two other walls down into
the street. At the sound Of the explo-
sion the f1remen fed, but thirty of
them we're caught in the crush of fall
ing debris. Most of the injured were
treated in temporary hospital estab-
lished near the scene by ambulance
surgeons and then sent home or to

SCORE DEAD IN fire
Italian Hotel at San Francisco
Scene Of Catastrophe.
BUILDING BURNS LIKE FINDER
Most Of the Victims, Who Were Of
the Laborine Class, Were Caught
While Asleep and Burned to- Death
Before Rescuers Reached the Scene.

San Francisco, April 5.-Twenty
persons were burned to death and
twenty seriously injured in a fire
which destroyed an Italian hotel at
Seventeenth and Connecticut streets,
in the Potrero district.
The victims were Of the laboring
class and were asleep in their rooms
when the fire started. Before they
could be aroused the flames had spread
through the building The walls fell
and the inmates were buried in the
ruins, twenty being taken out dead
and dying. People from other hotels
in the vicinity rushed to the assist
ance of the buried victims and sue
ceeded in rescuing all of them, it is
believed, from the flaming timbers.
Teams were hurriedly harnessed and
automobiles brought into service and
the injured were rushed to the Po-
trero emergency hospital, where sew
erai died while awaiting treatment.
The fire that destroyed the hotel is
believed to have started in the kitchen
and had gained great Roadway before
it was discovered. There were over
100 dodgers in the building, which
burned like finder, and most of those
who lost their lives were caught while
asleep and roasted to death. So rap
idly did the fire spread that it was
impossible to do much in the way of
rescue and even when the fire depart
ment arrived the blaze was so fierce
that the fir"men were hardly able to
place ladders against the walls. They
did, however, manage to save num-
her of people on the top story
