 Fragmentary advices here were moreover seen to indicate that the toll of dead will amount above first estimates. It is said the village of Saltillo has virtually been destroyed and that S5 bodies were recovered from the ruins on Tuesday. Thirty bodies have been taken from the Pes cados river at Apazapam, Pueblo Viejo and San Carlos.
