Constintlnople.--Th details OF the
earthuake, which are coming In slowly
owing to the interruption of the wires,
indicate that the seismic disturbances
were widespread.
Several hundred persons have been
killed. thousands are homeless and
outbreaks OF fire have occurred In
many towns and villages. Great de.
struction has been caused by the up
heaval.
The entire district between Constan'
tinople and Adrianople felt the shock
severely. Fugitives from Myriophito
report 800 killed and 5000 injured.
The town was still burning when they
left. GanosHora has been wiped out,
eighty persons being killed and thirty
wounded. The wrecked buildings took
fire and most of them were burned.
Shar.Koi was destroyed and two near
by villages were engulfed. Adrianople
suffered little damage, but Tohorlu
was partly destroyed by the earth.
quake and fire.
The course of the disturbance ap
pears to have been in the region Of
the Dardanelles. Eye witnesses from
that section give narrowing accounts
OF the havoc wrought. The majority OF
the houses in the Gallipolis are in
ruins and the people are camping in
the fields. Tohanak.Kalessi is in an
equally bad plight. but the loss OF life
in these towns is small, although the
injured are many.
Warships anchored In the Dardan.
Giles felt the shock severely. 1t was
first attributed to a torpedo boat. The
captain of the American steamer Vir.
ginia reports that the light house at
Gancs-Hora, in the sea of Marmora,
has disappeared and that the villages
in the surrounding country are in
flames. He was unable to anchor and
render assistance owing to the violent
movement OF the sea.
