Shock of Great Intensity Recorded at

Shock of Great Intensity Recorded at
Washington.
Washington, May 16.-An earth.
quake that lasted an hour and of con-
siderable intensity was recorded on
the weather bureau seismograph here.
The origin, according to a statement
Of Chief Willis L. Moore of the bu.
reau, is approximately 5000 miles
from Washington, but, while it is
pointed out that Central America or
the Pacific ocean west of Central
America fall within this distance and
might possibly be the location of the
disturbance, no definite statement to
this effect could be made. The first
preliminary tremors, which were very
sharply defined, occupied six minutes
and forty seconds.
