ABOUT TOTALLY DESTROYED
Capital OF Central American Republic
Overthrow by Terrific TiemblOr
Which Rolls Over l.and-Number
OF Killed Enormous.

NEW YORK, June S.-An Asso-
ciated Press Dispatch from Central
America today reports the complete
destruction of San Salvador, capital
OF the Republic of that name. by d
terrific earthquake which engulfed
that city yesterday morning. The
number OF dead in the city is esti-
mated at $4,000 while the total num-
ber of dead thruout tnc country to-
tails $4,000. Nearly every building in
the city was thrown down and thous-
ands are yet under the ruins. The
American consul reports that for 80
miles surrounding the city the devas-
tation is complete, every house being
destroyed and stock killed in count
less numbers. 1t is feared that a pes
tuence will follow the quake, as
corpses lie in every direction, whers
the panic stricken people attempted
to reach places OF safety. = -,
Vast crevasses opened in the searth
swallowing up hundreds of people.
and the noise OF falling buildings and
the dust created by the earth waves
were appalling. Assistance is rushing
to the stricken town from other
towns along the coast. and every
means of rescue which can be pro-
vided is being used to save those
buried in the ruins,
San Salvador is one OF the most
densely populated of the republics of
Central America, containing a total
of 613,273 Inhabitants in an area of
but 1925 square miles. The country
has a coast line of $50 miles along
the Pacific from the La Paz river to
the Gulf of Fonseca. and it's length
from east to west is 14O miles, while
it's breadth is hut so miles. The coun-
try consists of narrow seabOard and
a plateau of about 1000 feet eleva-
tion. interspread with numerous vol
canic cones, many of which were
smoking previous to the terrific quake
of last night. The volcanic cones do
not form chain. but a series of
groups. the Izalco group in the west
being the most active and the ones
responsible for yesterdays seismic
disturbances. The Izalco vent has
hitherto acted as a safety valve but
the capital has been so subject to the
tremblings. and rockings of the earth
as to acquire the name of the swing
ing mat of a hammock. San Salvador
has been destroyed by earthquakes
four times previous to yesterdays ca
tastrophe. in 1894. 1858. 1719 and in
1854. San Miguel, one of the group
of volcanoes which erupteG yester-
day. has long been known as one of
the most treacherOus mountains in
the world. at times being in COM
plete repose and apparently dead for
years, and then suddenly bursting
out in terrific eruptions destroying
the surrounding cities. In 1S7S-lS0O

that decent and consider just and right.
There is nothing in the tactics these Wall

panic prices by circulating any false rumor that

continue to depress the market by insisting that the
allies cannot fight the to a finish
These creatures show loyalty to this or any other
government They governed wholly by selfish and
sinister designs and by creating spirit uncertainty
and unrest they doing harm to their countrys
than is done by many open avowed enemies.
1t is suggested that while the federal government
is arresting soapbox orators would be amiss to
pay attention to these New York stock gamblers

comment every hand in the city. 1t is per-
