the city remained i'll darkness.
The wailing and praying of the In
dians in the public squares added to
the weirdness and painted an unfor-
gettable picture on the minds of the
half -clad. shiverng hordes of fright
ened men, women and children who
stood in the drizzling rain waiting for
daylight When the sun snone, tho
people returned to their homes. Soon,
however, a third shock sent them
again to the streets. This was lighter
than the others.
When the Federal Telegraph COM
pany attempted to work, the officials
found that the wires to the west
coast were down. No communication
with the state of Guerrero, the center
of the earthquake region of Mexico,
could De established After hours of
efforts a Wire was opened by the
roundabout way of the isthnius of
Tehuantepec. The first message
came from the port of Acapulco and
was directed to the director of tela-
grams. 1t read:
Acapulco is in ruins. The loss is
Communication was then lost Short
ly after 2 O'clock another wire was
opened UP direct to Acapulco. A mes
sage said the lower half of the city
had been destroyed and that four
bodies had been taken from the ruins.
Later message from Chilpancingo
stated that three deaths had occurred
there and that the Number OF injured
was not known The barracks, ma
tional palace and hospital there were
badly damaged,

egraphed tonight that the shocks were

Three bodies have been taken from the
ruins. The churches, customs houses
and all of the hotels in the place were
rendered uninhab bitable, while not Il
house in the city escaped damage. All
of the buildings along the water front
were leveied.
Tie first shock at Acapulco occurred
at 4:1e in the morning and the people,
knowing by past experience what to
expect fled to the open. They had
hardly gotten out when a series OF six
sevare shocks threw the most unstable
buildings to the ground.

provision is, included in the bill
which levies on all articles upon which
any foreign country pays a bounty or
grant upon its exportation an addi-
tional duty equal to the amount OF
such bounty. 1t is required that all
imported articles capable OF being
marked without Impairment OF their
value shall be stamped with the same
name of the manufactures and the

very elaborate provision for the
administration of customs laws was
adopted. It is intended to prevent un-

siding judge and four associate judges

Tax Amended.
The internal revenue tax on tobacco
is amended, making the rates on chow
ing and smoking tobacco cents a
pound. No change was made in the
tax on cigars except those weighing
under three pounds per thousand,
which are increased from As to IS
cents a thousand. The rates on ciga-
rettes were increased to $1.25 per thou
sand. A prohibition against the use of
coupons or special gift pledges is in
corporated in the new law
The provision granting farmers the
free sale of leaf tobacco places a re-
striction on the retail dealer which re-
quires him to record every sale

other iron clad requirements are in
cluded in redraft of this section

James L. Houghteling of Chicago,
a former member of the Yale base

today to attend the worlds confer

1 Span sh crises at home and
abroad continue to present
many alarming features, with
Barcelona still in the throes of
a revolutionary movement and
10000 MoOrs pressing Spain's
defeated and exhausted forces
in Morocco.
The reports from Barcelona
are ominously mcager, and
from roundabout quarters. But
the revolutionary movement
appears to have passed it's eli
max. Government troops are
now repo1 ted to have the upper
hand. The artillery has been
used with merciless effect,
driving the remnants to outly-
ing sections. The scattered
fragments Of information, com
ing through Madrid and from
tier points, are doubtless cen
sorcd and lacking in exactness,
but they give details Of bloody
conflict between 10000 armed
revolutionists and the Spanish
infantry and cavalry. Many
interior points report riot and
incendiarism. But the move
ment is without apparent cen
tral organization or a leader.
In the north there are fears
that Don Jaime, the Carlist
leader, will take advantage Of

Mexico City, July 30-Central Mex
and from Querato on the north to OAK
aca on the south, distance covering
more than 1000 square miles, was
shaken today by a series of the most
severe earthquake shocks felt in the
region for a quarter of century. Re-
ports of the loss of life are not COM
plete, but the official figures show
that IA were killed outright and more
than score perhaps fatally injured.
The towns of Acapulco and Chilpan-
cingo have been partially destroyed.
According to the observatory rec
Ords, the first shock of the series was
felt at Ais a. m. 1t was very severe,
causing the bells Of the many cathe-
drals of this city to toll, breaking
crockery and in some Instances level
ing walls. The people had hardly re-
covered from the first fright when a
second more severe shock drove near
ly everybody to the streets and plazas.
This movement lasted with marked
severity for one minute and thirty Sec
onds The tall buildings of the city
sWayed and number of houses col
lapsed. Six persons were killed in
Mexico City and it's environs. Four
persons are in hospitals, their re-
covery despaired of.
Americans Escape.
The large American colony escaped
unscathed. The poems We're terribly
frightened. For days they had been
predicting disaster. because the snow
on the peak of the volcano Popocata-
petl visible from this city, has been
melting. An old Aztec legend declares
that when the snow on this volcano
disappears so too will the city at it's
base. The property damage here is
slight. Some of the cathedral walls
were cracked and scores of adobe
walls were sent to the ground. but the
main business district showed no signs
of the severe shaking which it had re-
eeiyed.

Mexico City rests OIL an old lake bed,

part of the city rests acting as

circled the great Statue of Liberty in

part Of the city two huge dirigible bal
looms fell ingloriously on water and

Both Wright and Glenn II. Curtiss
scared successfully from the aero
drome on Governors island in their
motor propelled biplanes. Both great
dirigibles, manned by Captain Thomas
Baldwin and George L. Tomlinson re-
spectively and entered in the $4,000

to descend because of mechanical diff
ficulties before they were we'll under

Wilbur Wright made three sensation

though successful test flight of thirty
seconds duration. Baldwin with his
dirigible descended in the Hudson river
