Roosevelt, the Peacemaker.

Carnegie, in an address to the con-
gress. paid a tribute to President
Roosevelt and expressed the wish that
Roosevelt might be the peacemaker of
the future. He declared, however.
that Empror William is the man.
among all men, who holds the peace
of the nations in his power. In this
connection Carnegie said it was unjust
to speak Of the emperor as a menace
to the peace of Europe, adding that in
twenty years upon the throne the Ger
man ruler had split no blood, nor
raused an international war.

RUIN OF THE PLACES COMPLETE
Government Does Net Credit the Story
as to Casualties.
WORK OF RESCUE IS GOING ON
One of the Stricken Towns Reports
Eleven Known Dead and the
Earth Still Shaking
Quake Details.

City Of Mexico, April 16. - The
Banco Nacional (National Bank of
MeXico) has received a telegram say
ing that 500 lives were lost in the de-
struction of Chilpancingo and Chilapa
by the earthquake Sunday night. The
telegram adds that both cities were
completely destroyed. In governmental
circles the report is not credited. 1t is
admitted that both cities were leveled
to the ground, but it IS not thought
that the death list will even approx
mate 500, owing to the fact that the
houses are massive affairs built of
stone in order to resist earthquake
shocks.
For Rescue and Sanitation.
The federal authorities here have
been appealed to by the governors of
the districts of Braves and Chilapa for
tents, as the inhabitants III TIE strick-
en- cities are now living in the Open
having constructed dwelling of palm
leaves and branches. The governor of
the state of Guerrero has dispatched
military engineers and troops to the
destroyed district and the work of res
cue and sanitation Is being carried on
in a systematic manner. Both cities
are so far removed from the railway
that it is impossible to obtain accurate
and rapid intelligence of the disaster.
Not one of the daily papers has a cor
respondent in the region.
From One of the Stricken Towns.
Chilpancingo, Mex, April 16.-This
city has been completely destroyed by
one of the most furious earthquakes
that has even visited this section. Up
to this hour the known dead number
eleven and the badly injured twenty
seven. Among the dead is the wife of
Postal Inspector Leopoldo Lopez Guer-
IA. and the child of Jose Aleman. the
postmaster of the city. Jose Lopez
MARTINEZ, manager of the federal tele-
graph office. was struck on the head
by block of stone and badly injured.
The utmost panic prevails everywhere
and people are fleeing to the open
country. The earth continues to rock
at half hour intervals and many min
or shocks are completing the work of
destruction of the first earthquake.
Chilapa Also a Wreck.
Word has reached here that the
town of Chilapa. forty-two kilometers
to the northeastward, has also been
destroyed. AS yet no details have been
received as to the number of the dead
and wounded, but it is feared that the
number will be large
