nes del terremoto que Sc hacen por
distintos indiyiduos. Los mejo-
res observadores en- todas parties
de Puerto Rico estan contestes en-
manifestar que ell terremoto prin-

cion vertical seguida de oscilaeio-
nes hOrizentales. Respecto a la
direction del moyimiento horizon
tai existe mayor diferencia de OPT
niones, pero en- casi todo Puerto
Rico la mayorfa de les observable
PES informan que las principales
'vibraciones horizontales eran del
este y oeste, y esta declaration es-
ia sustentada por mucha prueba
a SUI favor. Muchos hechOs indi-
can que en- el extreme de la parte
oeste y .sudoeste de la isla el prin-

pentinamente, sin aviso. No ha-
bfanse sentido sacudidas en- esta
parte de la isla durante siete u
ocho meses. Como a las 1915 a.
m. de octubre II, sintieronse dos
fuertes temblores sepa; ldos por in
tervalo de dos o tres minutes. Ell
primerO fuG ell mas fuerte y Sc
describe como que tenfa un fuerte
movimiento vertical; fue seguidO
de oscilaciones horizOntales que
causaron gran parte de las perdi-
das sufridas. Sintieronse temblO-
res de menor intensidad a frecuen-
tes intervalos, subsiguientemente,
y al principle parecfa que la tie
rra temblaba sin cesar en- per1o-
dos de gran duraci0n. Las fuer-
tes sacudidas subsiguientes, en- oc-

ciaronse del primer disturbio en-
que parecian consistir principal
mente de oscilaciones horizontal

de considerable amplitud, ell perio
