NEW ORLEANS, April 23-Passengers
arrived from Costa Rica report greater
damage done by the recent earthquake
than first reported
There were seventeen distinct shocks on
the night of April 4. and twenty-one the
next night In Carriage sixty houses were
destroyed; in San Anganico, thirty-six: in
Turribabad, twenty-eight; in San Pedro
de Mougin, thirty; in San Rafael. forty;
In Santa Barbara, twenty-five: In San
Jose, the capital, over hundred houses
were wrecked, including the Temple OF
Paul under construction, and the lyceum
and annex in the high section of the
country The latter were wrecked be-
yond repair.
Nearly every house in GaudalouDe, Pa
cayas and Paradise was destroyed, with
a loss of one million dollars. Telegraph
and telephone service was interrupted
and business entirely suspended for the
week in the capital and other neighbor-
ing towns.
The people sought the parks and plazas
and remained there all night. From the
barracks the government sent out swell
ter tents, which were used by the people
who fled from their houses. Carriage was
the worst sufferer in this respect.
During the earthquake the criminals
in the penitentiary became panic-stricken
and broke out in revolt. large military
force was required to suppress them
The panic was intensified by the fact
that the quakes kept the church bells
ringing all night long, and that the
graves in the cemetery were broken open
and the bones of the dead exposed. EX-
eept at Carriage. no lives were lost.

VIGOROUS AGITATION THREAT
ENED AGAINST THE VATICAN.
May Call Upon Italian Government
to Stop Propaganda by Priests
Among Soldiers.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, April 23.-The anti-cericals
threaten a vigorous agitation, which
means that they will hold meetings, that
priests will be mobbed and beaten and
that anti-Vatican demonstrations will be
organized unless the government stops
the clerical propaganda by the priests
among the Italian soldiers. Every Italian
between the age of eighteen and twenty
must serve time In the army. Naturally
the ranks often include students for the
priesthood. These are free to attend
their religious duties Sundays and holi-
days, and accordingly take part in the
Catholic services and functions.
1t seems that some of these young
soldiers have been seen serving at mass
and others have been noticed singing in
the choirS. The anti-clericalS protested
against such corruption of the national
army by the enemies OF Italy-the priests
and they now demand a law prohibit
ing soldiers from attending church func-
tions and thus humliating themselves
and diSgracing their uniforms"
Naturally all the anti-clerical papers
have taken the matter up. The Giordano
Bruno. named after the former priest,
who is called by the Vatican an apos-
tate, passed resolutions, which were tan
tamount TO an ultimatum, in which they
said that unless soldiers were prevented
from going to church vigorous action
would follow.
Religious federation is unknown in It
ally. Col. Roosevelts recent appeal for
such liberation has probably been forgot
ten and the government will probably
yield.

Estradists File Complaint.
All doubt was removed last week when
the consular representative of the revo-

of the converted cruiser, claiming it was
a violation of international law, and that
the Venus was a privateer. She carries
a terrible lot of guns and ammunition and
several cannon.
There is no Nicaragua port at which
she can land without a battle. The Es-
trada forces hold Bluefields and all the
other ports the Atlantic, except San
Juan or Greytown The Venus, is is as

which she can easily do, as she is a much
