QUAKE AND VOLCANO
 DESTROY 8 TOWNS
Eruption of Volcano Follows Seismic Disturbance Con- municatiOn With Island is Severed For Hours.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, June S.-San Salvador, the capital of the republic of Salvador, with popula tion of more than 60,000, has been totally destroyed, according to dis patch from San Miguel, Salvador. No details as to the manner in which the city was destroyed have been received, but it undoubtedly was the result of an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
 A dispatch from Tegucigalpa, Hon. duras. says that in addition to the wiping out of San Salvador, the towns of Quezaltipeouo, Mejapa, Suchtchoto, Paisnal, Armenois and Mejicanos also were destroyed. Mejicanos was a suburb of San Salvador.
 At $50 o'clock this morning there was still no communication between San Salvador and Tegucigalpa.
 An operator who reached the edge of the destroyed zone reported at 9:20 o'clock this morning that San Salva- dor was in ruins and that everything within radius of miles of the city had been destroyed by the earthquake.
 The town of Santa Tecla also has been destroyed, according to this re- port. Residents of San Salvador are camping in the streets and parks. At the time the report was sent it had been raining heavily for five hours. The disaster is supposed to have been caused by an eruption of the volcano of San Salvador, at the foot of which the city is situated.

Germans Try to Recapture the 0 Ground Lost Recently-Brit- ish Capture 6,400 Prisoners and Over 20 Guns.

1ordon June S.-The British forces :. po1gium have consolidated their rains of Thursday and during Friday successfully warded off German coun- lor attacks in the region of Cost Ia ,.o,ne and Messines, according to the n.;t;sb official communication issued this evening.
 More than 6,400 prisoners, among them 192 officers, have already been counted.
 Tho German losses in their counter attacks were terrible. The full depth of the British attack was 5000 yards. Three counter-attacks by the Ger mans. which were not delivered in creat force, were broken up last night.
 Two comparatively large pockets of Germans. overlooked in the first rush forward. have been surrounded in Bit te Wood. near the northern flank of the 1O-mile attacking front and in Oxygen trench, down toward the southern flank of this line.
 Of more than 100 officers taken, many are artillerymen. All the latter said the British fire of the last seven days had destroyed scores of German guns. Iii some instances all four guns in German batteries were damaged, while in other cases three of the four guns were lost.
 The work of the British flying corps in directing the shooting is beyond all praise German officers said they felt absolutely helpless when airplanes came overhead and the British bat teries began to fire under their obser- 1ation and direction.
 The communication says;
 During the day our new line south of Ypres has been organized and se- cured. German counter attacks south- east and northwest of Cost Taverne and east of Messines were repulsed with loss by our infantry or broken up by our artillery fire.
 "Over 6,400 prisoners, including l32 officers, have already passed through the collecting stations as result of yesterdays operations. More than 20 guns thus far have been collected"
