 According to the observatory rec ords, the first shock of the series was at 5.45 a. m, the rocking oscillation being from the east to the southwest many, cathedrals of Mexico City to toll, breaking crockeI 7 and in some instances leveling als.
 Second and sevsrer Shock.
 The inhabitants of the capital had hardly recovered from the fright oc- casioned by the quake when a sec- ond and more severe shock caused an outpouring of nearly all of the resi- dents to the streets and open plazas . This One of Twisting Character. / This movement was of a twisting character and lasted with marked se- verity for 90 seconds. The tall build- ings of the capital swayed, and in some Instances cracked, the pavement open ed in places and in the poorer quarters a number of houses collapsed.
 Six Killed iR Mexico City.
 So far as can be learned from po- lice records, six persons lost their lives in Mexico City and its enrirons as a result of this second shock. Three women and a child are among the vic tims. Four persons are now in hos pitals and they cannot recover, it is said.
 American Colony Safe.
 The large American. colony is safe. Some were hit by falling plaster but no serious injuries were reported. They, with the entire native popula- ton. remained in the plazas or squares until daylight gave them courage to enter their dwellings.
 Peons Quote the Old Aztec Legend.
 The peons were terribly frightened. For days these humble folk have been predicting a disaster, because the snow on the peak of the volcano Popocata- petl, visible from this city, has been melting. An old Aztec legend de- clares that when the snow on this vol cano disappears, so too will the city at its base.
 That Mexico City escaped with com paartively slight damage is said to be due to the fact that the city rests on an old lake bed. the made ground act ing as spongy, jelly like mass which neutralized the severity of the shocks.

 Royal Family Still at the Palace.
 San Sebastian. Spain. via Hendaye. July 30.-The royal family is still at Miramar palace. The report that Queen Victoria. the mother queen. Ma ria Christina, and the royal children had crossed the fontier and gone to Bayonne until the crisis was over, ia untrue, and probably originated in the arrival of the royal automobile at Biarritz with a member of the courr bearing despatches to the Spanish am- bassador to France. who left this morn- ing to resume his duties in Paris.
 It is understood that both the queen and the queen mother were anxious to follow the king to Madrid, but the king considered it better and safer course that they should remain at San Sebas- tian until the interior crisis was endeI.
