With the arrival of new details today.
the borrow Of the Cartago earthquake
grows. With more than 500 bodies re-
covered from the ruins there, conser-
vative estimate of the number of dead
in the quake zone today placed the
total at more than 5000. In the entire
town of Cartago of 1900 Inhabitants,
not building is standing alone.
Slight shocks today increased the
terror of the inhabitants. Several par
ties of rescuers have been trapped or
buried by falling walls since the first
great shocks.
States would send aid. having already
rushed 5000 to the Red Cross, was
greeted with rejoicing.
San Jose congested.
injured. The field hospitals thrown up
on the outskirts Of Cartago are over
crowded; there are not enough tents
to go round and the homeless are
driven to primitive methods of secur-
ing shelter.
Troops today captured five more
looters and they were summarily ex-
ecuted.
The arrival OF reports from the out
lying country today made it practi-
cally certain that the property dam

fruit plantations. suffered the heaviest
losses.
People Are ii Terror.
In spite OF the presence of a heavy
force of troops, the, situation in the
stricken town is one of the utmost
horror. In the wreckage are still
hundreds of bodies and 1t is believed
that many Of the victims of the quake
are trapped in debris without hope OF
escape or rescue. The ancient adobe
of which most of the houses in the
city were constructed, crumbled easily,
burying men, women. and children.
Many of the more modern buildings,
however, were constructed of heavier
material and in them the loss of life
was even greater.
Throughout the ruins rescue parties
are working haphazzard, using any
implements that may be available. The
work for the most part is unorganized
Pitifui Stories Told.
Many pitiful stories are told by
refugees.
One is that Manuel e. Chevarria, the
father of family of seven. who found
himself alone after the great quake
saved by queer turn Of fortune.
He set himself to the task of rescu
ing his family alone, refusing to ad
init that all were undoubtedly crushed
to death. Unable to secure aid, he
labored on without food or drink 70,
forty hours. Then he was found tc
be hopelessly mad.
In other instances, children worked
with only their hands to save thei.
parents.
The cry Of the injured entombed ha;
been heard in every section of tbs
city. 1t is less prevalent today. how
ever. grim testimonial of the increas
ing seriousness.
An aged woman was rescued today
after having been imprisoned without
food or drink almost sixty hours.
