Mexican Earthquake known TO Have
Affected Wide Territory.
Late news from the area of destruction
in the recent Mexican earthquake shows
that the devastation wrought was greater
than at first supposed. Besides the de-
struction of the cities of Chilpancingo
and Chilapa it is now reported that the
city OF Tixtla, between the two cities
above named and containing about the
same population as Chilpancingo, was
also leveled to the ground, and messen-
gers from the coast who have reached
Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayut-
Ia and Ometepec have been wiped off the
map. Ayutla is one of the most historic
towns in the republic.
Ometepec is farther south. near the
boundary line of the States of Fuerrero
and 0axaca. 1t is a town OF about 1000
Inhabitants and it is feared that the loss
of life here may be heavier than at
Ayutla. Tlapa, a town eighty miles west
of Chilpancingo and near the border line
of the State of Oaxaca. is also reported
to have been wiped out The report from
Chilpancingo says that the whole of the
west coast from Acapulco south to Salina
Cruz, the Pacific terminal of the Tehuan-
tepec National railway, Mexico's new
transcontinental road. which was opened
with elaborate ceremonies last January
by President Diaz. has been badly dam
