There was no loss OF life by the
earthquakes. The shocks, while the

were not violent enough to cause much
destruction. Dispatches from points In
several provinces report severe shocks
but little damage.
The total damage caused by the
earthquakes in the entire archipelago

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Bryce Speculates on Result If RevoIu-
ton Had Failed.

Philadelphia, April 20. - James
Bryce, ambassador from Great Britain,
in an address at the banquet OF the
Transatlantic society of America here
tonight, declared that, IL America had
remained as q colonial ward Of Eng
land, President Roosevelt would not
have been confronted with such world
important problems as he is now called
to solve.
Had the countries not been separat-
ed, Mr.. Bryce said, the development Of
the United States would have been
more gradual. He was of the opinion
that slavery would not have endured go
long and would have gone, perhaps,
without bloodshed. There would have
been fewer railroads, less internal strife
and consequently fewer big economic
problems to solve.

MEXICAN SHOCKS CONTINUE
Destruction Grows as Reports Come
From Outlying Districts.

City Of Mexico, April l7.--Heavy
earthquake shocks continued on the
west coast until o'clock this morning.
late news Of the earthquake shows that
the devastation wrought was greater
than nj fret supposed. Beside the de-
struction Of ChilpancinRo and Chilapa,
IL is now said that Tixtla also was lev
eled. Messengers reaching Chilpancln'
go say the towns OF Ayutla and omete-
pre- have been wiped out.
The population OF Ayutla is small,
and II Is thought the loss OF life there
will be Insignificant. ometepre Is a
town Of about 1000 inhabitants and
the loss OF life probably lie large,
Tlapa, near the border line OF the
state OF 0axaca. is also reported to he
wiped out. A report from Chilpancin-
go says the whole Of the west coast
from Acapulco south Of Salina Cruz has
been badly damaged.
The damaged places are remote, and
news from the stricken district conse.
quently is incomplete. Only one wire
is working to Chilpanclngo.

ossP SNOW ON pRAIRlgs.
Six Inches Ruins Fruit Prospect, eu,
Benefits Wheat.

Omaha, April l9.-Five inches Of
snow fell during the night and the
storm continued during the forenoon.
The fall was general over Eastern Ne
hraska, and is the heaviest known In
April for many years. The extent OF
damage is not known. Opinion as to
the storms effect upon fruit and early
vegetables varies. In some counties
along the southern and central belts
cherries, peaches, plums, and berries
are said by some authorities to have
been ruined almost entirely, while
other growers report that fruit was not
far enough advanced to become seriously
endangered.
In grain circles Il is believed the
snow will kill all the green bugs that
have been threatening the winter wheat
crop and spreading over the central
portion of the state.
A Norfolk dispatch says Northern
Nebraska, Southern South Dakota,
Northeastern Wyoming and the Black
Hills are covered with blanket Of
snow six inches deep upon the level,
which is still falling. At Northwestern
railroad headquarters here il was said
the storm was practically over the en-.
tire system west Of the Missouri river,

San Francisco, April l9.-- While
there was no general cessation of the
work of rehabilitation, the first ami
versary of the earthquake and the fire
which left this city mass of ruins was
observed yesterday by appropriate re-

The crowning event OF the day was

the material and civic regeneration of
the city was amply discussed and faith
expressed in a new and greater San
Franc isco. The principal business

flying everywhere and the dome of the
city hall, still in a partly wrecked con-
dition, was illuminated as on gala occa-
sions "before the fire."

these places has ranged from to l2
and the number Of injured from 80 to
40.
In Chilapa SO persons were injured
and 779 buildings destroyed. Nobody

After the first great shock the air was

There are many speculations as to the
cause Of the peculiar freak OF nature
and some consider 1t proof that the
