tration of telegraph and telephone, wires in eastern and southern Spain.i London is to-day trying to get news of the reported Spanish earthquake byS way of Gibraltar. Madrid is reported. to be crazed with fear of great dist aster. A Central News dispatch from San Sebastian says that terrifo quake devastated several towns in southern and eastern Spain.
 The principal towns mentioned an suffering from the quake are Murcix; and Totana, inland about 25 miles from the southeastern coast and Malaga om the central southern coast. The quake at Malaga is believed to be that which was felt there yesterday morning and which was not severe. 4
 The report of the destruction of q large portion of country on the north- ern coast is disproved by to-dayss dfs-1 patches. Early messages said thad subterranean rumbhngs were felt in the city throwing the people into terrible panic. These were followed shortly by the messages saying that tidal wave swept the coast.
 The most definite news so far recefv-> ed is from Ceuta, a Spanish town in Morocco, across the Straits of GibraI< tar. A landslide occurred near Ceuta which is said to have buried the vil-s lage of Romara. killing several hun dred A landslide occurred at Ceuta a week ago caused by excessive rain Yesterdays disaster was undoubtediy caused by the quake
 Madrid, Jan. 30.-The government has ordered the authorities at Barcelona to make every effort to send relief to the stricken districts. <
 There is no doubt that severe trem~ ors were felt in many towns but 1t is expected that the reports were greatly exaggerated. News of the quake on the northern coast of Morocco was con- firmed today, though it is not known how serious it was.

A report to the effect that Edward c. Smith had sold Smiths theatre and
 disposed of his other interests in this city were denied by MT. Smith to-day. MT. Smith said he had received six of fers for the theatre within the last three weeks but, he had not disposed of it. He said that if the right price was offered he would sell as he would like to go abroad for about two years and take a rest because of his health which is not of the best. He was frank about stating that the theatre was on the market and there were many theatrical managers who would like to get the property which was by everyone to be a good house and a paying proposition. MT. Smith said that he had put in eleven years building up the house and was not going to allow it to go until the right parties came along and paid for it what he considered it to be worth His lease has still a number of years to run.

 Madrid, Jan. 30.-Reports from east ern and southern Spain this afternoon removed all fear of the reported devas- tation by earthquake. There were slight shocks experienced in a number of towns, chiefly in the province ot Murcia, where the towns of Murcia and Totana suffered small damage to buildings. A number of walls were cracked but no other damage is report ed.
 The people were thrown into a panic No loss of life has occurred in this dis trict. The only serious damage yet reported took place at Ceuta and the neighboring town of Romara, both Spanish towns on the north Moroccan cuost. The quake there caused land- slide which is believed to have killed many people.
 Madrid. Jan. S0-Barcelona escaped the earthquake and tidal wave which were reported early this morning to have destroyed a large part of Spain s second largest city. Telegraph and tel ephone communication with Barcelona was established to-day and the cheering news received that the city was unharmed.
 Much uneasiness is still felt for oth- CT towns, including San Sebastian, To- tana, Murcia and Malaga which were reported to have been seriously shak- :en and from which no word has been received since the first messages.
 The conviction is growing that the early reports were highly exaggerat- ed Telegraph and telephone wires are establishing communication in many of the districts. It is impossible, how ever, at this hour to give detailed in- formation.
 The first reports of the quake came from London and caused indescribable consternation in the foreign settlement. It was found that communication had been cut off. Without waiting for a verification of the reports the govern ment officials started relief trains for the stricken sections.

Following Arrest of Former Bridgeporter, Firing
 Spouse Confesses and Is Forgiven. Powe Robbed Partner
 And Fled Here With
 Wife of Another
Intercepted Through Let ters Sent Him By His Mother Returned to Rochester Today, Waiv- ing Extradition-Wrong- ed Husband Won't Press Serious Charge.

Burton Leroy Powe who some years ago used to attend the local public schools and who during his residence here resided ip Madison avenue and in Main street was returned to-day to the police of Rochester, N. r., where he is wanted for robbery. That he is not about to face trial on charge more sreious than that for which he is held is due to the forgiving spirit of Roch- ester man who has agreed to overlook the indiscretions of his wife who infat- uated with Powe, fled with him to this city about two weeks ago.
 Following the apprehension of Powe who is clean cut chap of 30, prepos- sessing in appearance, with an athletic figure, there occurred to-day at police headquarters a reconciliation between Peter J. Doan, stationary engineer, and his wife. Powe accompanied by Mrs Doan came to this city about two weeks ago and they have since lived at local hotels. The woman is decidedly attractive. Former school mates of Powe have seen the couple on the streets and believed them to be man and wife.
 Through letters which passed be- tween Powe and his mother the local authorities were enabled to locate the former. According to the Rochester authorities, Powe after the failure of a business in which he was interested with George Mebbets of that place, robbed Mebbets of his personal effects, including a gold watch and clothes. Having induced Mrs. Doan to forsake her hilsbaxd, the couple took a train to New York and later came here. The woman lad $50 in cash when they arr rived in this city. This amount did not last long and Powe was soon com pelled to pawn the watch he had stolen. Still being hard pressed for funds Mrs. Doan gave her watch to Powe and this, too. found it's way in to pawn shop.
 Efforts to obtain employment on the part of Powe did not avail land the couple had exhausted what funds they managed to. collect from the pledging of their personal effects, when word came from Rochester that Powe was suspected of being here and that he was wanted there for robbery. v
