MEXICO CITY. Jan. 4.-Scores or persons have been killed in a violent earthquake which occurred in many parts of Mexico last night. The center of the disturbance is be- lieved to have been near the volcano of Orizaba.
 Incomplete press reports indicate that the state of Vera. Cruz suffered more than any other section, although seismic disturbances were felt through out the entire republic. Advices from Cordoba say that 30 dead have already been accounted for in San Juan Sosco- matepec where many houses were de- stroyed. There are unconfirmed re ports of a similar catastrophe in Hua- tuasco, al Jalaha, further north. where 50 victims of the earthquake have been counted, including numerous dead Lack of communication with the other small towns and villages. in the theater of the disturbance, make even an approximate estimate of the caSu- alties impossible.

The first shock. which occurred at 9:45 o'clock Satur- day evening. lasted five minutes. The second. at 1o:2o D. m. was very brief, but of terrific intensity and was ac- companied by terrifying subteranean tremors. The third shock at 11:01 o'clock was not discernible except by the seismograph.
 The panic in the capital among the ignorant classes was indescrible. Many
 of the people fled from their homes
 and flocked to the churches. The In
 dians in the suburbs hurried to the
 shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe
 From Toluca, Cuernavaca and Puebla come similar stories of panic

 villages in the state Of Vera Cruz,
 where the people left their homes and
 spent the night in the streets.
 The damage in Mexico City was
 limited to cracks in the larger build
 ings. There were no deaths and none
 of the inhabitants was injured.
 While the government observa tory
 has not decided what caused the
 shocks. reports received from Cor
 doba. state of Vera Cruz assert that
 they were due to the volcano Orizaba
