The ex- act loss of life cannot now be ascer- tained. News of the destruetion, which ex- tended 100 miles along the western part of the republic, is coming in slowly, because all of the telegraph wires are down. It is known that Amatitlan exists uo more as a town, the seismic dis- urbance having been so great. The nhabitants—that. is, those of the 10,000 residences who escaped death nh the cataclyism—are camping in he open air for safety, not daring to turn to the ruined confines of the bwn. Some of the inhabitants are bilding temporary mud huts. é Cesena A Doctor’s Bad Plight. “Two years ago, as a result of ase- vere cold, I lost my voice,”’ writes Dr. M. L.
