MORE THAN HALF OF VICTIMS IN MEXICO CITY, SOLDIERS
 NO AMERICANS.
PROPERTY LOSS A MILLION
Poorly Constructed Buildings and Cheap Tenements Collapse at First Shock-Those Par
 tiaIly Built, Ruined.

Mexico City, June 9.-A survey of the results of natures upheaval shows clearly how unprepared was the locai- ity for such visitation. The shock, which came early in the morning, last ed about fifteen minutes.
 The damage is widespread. Many public buildings were wrecked by the earth tremor. Sixty-three persons were killed, seventy-five injured and prop erty damaged to the extent of l,000, 900. It is believed more complete search will raise the list of injured to over 100. The earthquake was the most severe that has visited the cap ital in ten years No Americans were injured
 More than half the dead accounted for were soldiers. They were caught beneath the falling walls of the artil lery barracks in San Cosma, locality near the Mexican Central station. An other place where the earthquake took its toll Of death in considerable num- bers was at the city power plant of the street car company.
 Here six were killed and six wound ed. Two others were found in the de- bris, consisting partly of steel rails which had been stacked in the iron and wood departments and which col lapsed
 The victims were inhabitants of lit tie shacks built along the side of the ctruntt,rp With thach tNvp ox0aptipnc the death list was made up of single cases, or in some instances of two and three, caught beneath falling walls Tn the poorer buildings of the district most seriously affected
 Walls of Palace Cracked.
 The National Palace. the walls of which were cracked by the earth quake occupies large city block and houses many of the government of fees An imposing facade extends along the entire east side of the Plaza Mayor. with frontage of $50 feet.
 In none of the advices received at police headquarters is the mention of the death of any person of promi- nence The victims were those whose homes were in cheaply built houses, shacks in most cases whose walls had little power of resistance.
 Three thousand troops are clearing away the debris left by the earthquake and slowly uncovering the dead The complete death roll will not be known for several days, but according to the latest police estimate 1S5 persons lost their lives. Many of those believed to be dead are recorded as missing, and may be found later to have been among those who fled from the city when the first shock was felt.
 When the work was extended to the outlying suburbs 1t was found many had been crushed to death by the col lapse of adobe and brick houses.
