No Lives Reported Lost and Few Are
inJured-Preeeded by an
Electric Flash.

City Of Mexico, Mex.-An earth.
quake lasting four and a half min.
utes startled this city. The earth
rocked in q long swinging motion,
Terrifying the inhabitants, repre-
sentatives Of the press made a rapid
tou In cabs over the business streets
Of the city, but nowhere could dam.
age beyond cracked walls and small
assures In the pavements be found.
At the police stations no deaths had
been reported up to 1910 a. m. A
wall on Santiago street collapsed, kill
Ing a number of horses and w%ounding
Ave men.
No reports have yet come from the
American colony, but 1t is not believed
that serious damage was sustained
thsre, although the houses, unlike
those in the old section OF the city,
are not built to withstand earthquake
shocks. At tie time of the first shock
the cafes and theaters were filled and
for n time a panic was feared, but
owing to the peculiarly steady swing
of the earth's movement, the crowds
left the buildings In comparative or.
der. The shock was preceded by two
bright electric flashes, which lit up the
sky to the northwest OF the city. Up
to this time the property loss Is re.
ported as very small. A number of
walls in unsubstantial buildings col,
lapsed and n on Buchareli street
narrowly missed burying the fleeing
inmates of a nearby hotel.
The unusual length of the shock
has not been officially verified from
the government observatory at Taca,
buya, communication with that point
being cut OFF. A representative of
FL Diario, a morning paper, held a
watch during the shock and is au.
thOrity for the statement that the
earth rocked for four and a half min.
utes. II this Is true, It Is the longest
earthquake cver recorded in this city
The city Is comparatively quiet, al,
though the streets are yet thrOnged
with people, many refusing to enter
their houses through fear Of a more
severe shock to come.
