ONE THOUSAND DEAD
IN EARTHQUAKE THAT
RAzED GUATEMALA
Forty Per Cent Of Houses In
City Are Reported As Be-
ing Destroyed

Washington, Dec. 31.-One thous.
and dead as result of the Guatemala
City earthquake was the estimate fur
nished the state department today in
cablegram from the Central and
South American Telegraph company.
The San Jose manager under date of
december 30 related that he had Just
returned from the capital where he
found 40 per cent of the houses demol-
lshed most of the others uninhabit-
able, the American legation and con
sulate, the postoffice and large church
es wrecked, martial law in effect, in
habitants quitting the city upon the
president orders and terrific shocks
continuing at five minute intervals.
Much of the region between Guate-
mala City and San Jose on the Pa
icific seventy five miles away has been
devastated, the embassy report stated.
All lines of communication inland
from San Jose have been severed and
only meagre scraps of information
have been received by Don Juaquin
Mendez, Guatemala minister here.
Railroads into Guatemala City have
been demolished and couriers have
been dispatched from San Jose to- OBJ
tain definite news of the disaster.
guatemala City has population of
more than 100000 people, Senior Men
dez said, and if preliminary reports
are true, the suffering among the
thousands made homeless must be
acute.
Red Cross authorities have been ap.
pealed to and are prepared to take
charge Of relief work as quickly as
supplies can be rushed there from
neighboring republics and the U. $.
Mendez expressed his gratitude to
this country for ordering warships to
San Jose to assist in relief work.
Efforts to establish wireless commu-
nication with inland Guatamala so far
have failed

PREMIER To SPEAK
0RUSS CONGRESS

PETRoGRAD. September 2s tde-
Iayed)-The committee of five in tenn
porary control of the government at
its first meeting since the return of
Premier Kerensky from the front de-
termined today that the premier and
| Gen. Verkhovsky shall appear before the
! democratic congress, which convenes
tomorrow. This action followed a four
hour session of the committee at the
winter palace at which the attitude of
Premier kerensky is said to have been
substantially this:
While the government is not bound
to recognize the democratic congress
and is not conceding that it represents
the greatest part of Russia, 1t is ad
mitted that the congress represents a
large percentage of the people through
elements which must be taken into
consideration. In government circles
it is understood that the congress will
convene for a short time and then ad-
journ over one day to begin its activi-
ties on Saturday. The time for the ap-
pearance of Premier Kerensky and War
Minister Verkhovsky has not been de-
termined.
Foreign Minister Has Not Quit.
Reports of the resignation of Foreign
Minister Terestchenko. printed in the
morning newspapers. are denied off,
cially. The foreign minister attended
the conference today.
On the eve of the opening of the
congress a sensation has been created
by report that Nikolai Lenine, the
extremist leader. has reached the cap
ital from Finland. 1t is said he in
tends to appear as the chief orator
of the Bolsheviki at the congress-
which he is confident will defend him.
The authorities, it is reported, know
where Lenine can be found, but are
undecided whether to carry out an. old
order for his arrest.
