CITY OF MEXICO, MEX, April 49,
There were no deaths in Mexico City,
and beyond damaged plaster and crack
ed and fallen walls. the property loss
will be insignificant. Owing to tho
long. duration OF the shock this is
considered as remarkable and is only
accounted for by the peculiar swell
like motion of the earthquake, which,
was regular and from east to west.
The Federal Telegraph office in this
city has inform ed the Associated Press
that the earthquake has interfered
with the working of the wires in all
parts of the republic south OF Il line
drawn from Acapulco. on the Yves.
coast. to the City OF Tampico, on tho
Gulf coast.
From messages received at tho tele-
graph office here UP to noon 1t appears
that the entire southern half Of the
republic, Including the lower country
and tho Mesa" belt felt the shock.
Messages from as far north rs San
Luis Potos and MS far south rs the
city of San Juan Bautlsta. in tho STATE
OF Tabasco, reports that the shock was
felt in varying degrees.
But at no place UP to date has q
loss of life or great destruction OF
property been reported, except in Tho

Colimn, on the coast to the northwest
OF this city. Jorullo is much nearer,
and Is located almost due north In the
State of Michoacan.
The inhabitants Of this region arc
known as "pintos," because of tho
spots on their faces They are
noted for their hardy, warlke spirit
and for their stoicism and fanaticism
but the recent catastrophe seems to
have completely unnerved them, as
they have UP to date lost all discre-
tion. The city is ninetyseven kilo-
metres from the nearest railroad line,
and 1t Will DO impossible for the peo-
pie to flee except on foot or on horse
back. This fact caused u considerable
amount of anxiety because the State
lis inhabited by n great number Of
| Americans, who are engaged in pros
pccting for mines. The nearest rail-
road terminal is a Iguala, across tho
| R!o Balsas, and nnety-seven kilo-
] metres to tho northward OF Chilpan-
cingo. The distance between Chilpan-

result came only after months and months
OF spirited discussion. ut times almost
