Series Of STAGES
Formerly It was thought that
the glacial epoch was single

been divided into . number OF

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3O.-(AP)-
ficial reports thus far state that six
nersons were killed in Mondays tor
nado which struck Vera Cruz and ia
lapa. but reports are trickling in ihdi-
eating that several villages in remote
sections have suffered heavily
Governor Jara Of the state of Vera
Cruz has reported that the hamlet of
La Antigua has been wiped out, but
has made no mention of casualties. La
Antigua has a population of not more
than 600. Governor lara also reported
that landslides occurred in the noun
famous districts, cutting off railway
communication on the Inter Oceanico
and Teocelo line. In addition, he re-
ported the destruction of the San Fran
cisco bridge, which was erected at a
cost of a million dollars
OF the six persons officially announc-
ed dead, two were killed at Vera Cruz
and four at Jalapa. Twenty houses
were destroyed in the latter place
when the river overflowed. The exact
number Of victims in the district will
not be known until communications
have been fully restored.
In special dispatches from Vera Cruz
the damage from the storm is estimated
at 100000 pesos (about $750O,O0O).
Of this, 100000 is for the city of Vera
Cruz and 100000 for other towns in
the storm swept area.
