Since the First Culver on Friday
There Have Been seveny-Three
Shocks Recorded in the
District
ACAPULCO WAS DAMAGED
This Seaport City Seems to Have
Received the Worst Of tho
Shock and is Now in
Danger Of Famine


CITY OF MEXICO, August 2-Aca-
pulco, which was razed by the earth
quake of Friday and succeeding
shocks, now faces famine. All the
markets have been destroyed and the
country people are afraid to bring pro-
duce into the stricken city.
The few buildings standing are un-
safe and are being leveled with dyna-
mite. The people are camping in the
public squares under rude shelters
which offer no protection from the
torrential rains. Many are becoming
sick from exposure and lack OF food.
The injured are suffering greatly on
account of lack Of attention and med-
icine.
Seventy-three distinct shocks havet
been recorded since the first one, Fri
day and the people are kept in a state
Of terror. What the earthquake OF
Friday failed to do was accomplished
by the stronger one Saturday, which
either leveled or rendered uninhabit-
able every building.
During the heavy shock Saturday
the water in the harbor receded about
SO feet and then rushed back, covering
the low water front, docks. and piers.
Considerable damage was done, but no
lives were lost.
Conditions In Chilponcingo, which
was also practically destroyed, are
similar to those in Acapulco and the
other stricken cities in the state OF
Guerrero.
Detail stories Of the earthquakes
show that they have been the most se-
we're ever experienced in the Valley of
Mexico and aiong the Pacific coast.
Funds are being raised in the city
of Mexico to relieve the distressed of
Guerrero. Here the SHOCK was heav-
Ter than any yet experienced.
AS the work of examination contin.
ues more and more evidence of dam
age is found, though so far as known
no lives were lost in the last agita-
ton. Many tourists who were stop
ping at the local hotels are leaving for
the United States.

pitiable. The city is in darkness; the
water mains are broken and the food
situation is acute. No meat supply
has reached the city for week and
the bakeries are forced to close for
want of flour. Scores have died for
lack of attention and it is not unccm-

ing the streets with undressed and
dangerous wounds. Only the Red
Cross nurses dare to venture in the
streets. It is reported that two nuns
