Thirty-five Thousand Persons Either Killed or Made Homeless. A Conflagration Caused by a Fire Ball Yom- ited from a Burnivg Mountain. DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDIES » Panama, June 4, 1875. The royal mai! steamship Balize, which arrived ‘at Aspinwall to-day from Savanilla, brings the fol. lowing particulars, published in an extra of the Barranquilla Shipping List of May 29, of the oc- currence and effects of a terrible earthquake in the Ande: A MESSAGE OF DEATH AND MOURNING. ~ The steamer Isapel, which arrived yesterday from the interlor, neared our city with her flag at half-mast, indicating that she was the bearer of unwelcome news; and, while there were various conjectures as tots import, none had ior a mo- Ment pictured the colossal magnitude of the awful calamity which had tuxen place. THE FATAL REVELATION. The information which has reached us on the bject is contained in a letter dated in Salazar, seven leagues from Cicuta, the 19th of the pres- ent month, from which we extract and translate the following :— EARTHQUAKE IN SALAZAR, At ten minutes past eleven o'clock A. M. o yesterday (18th, a severe earthqurke visited this city and region. LIFE AND PROPERTY DESTROYED. In this city (Salazar) a large partofthechurcnes | fell, Several houses were destroyed and some peo- ple killed. CUCUTA OBLITERATED—WHOLE YFAMILIES SWEPT FROM EXISTENCE. ‘The City of Cacuta ts enureiy destroyed. Only & few families were saved. A BALL OF FIRE FROM 4 VOLCANO. The Botica Alemana (German drug store) was set on fire by a bail of tre whica was turown out Of the volcano, which 1s constamtly belching out lava, This volcano has opened itself in front of San- “tlago in a ridge called El Alo do la Giracha. SAN CAYETANO DESTROYED. San Cayetano was destroyea. SANTIAGO ALMOST IN RUINS. ‘The greater part of Santiago has been de- Biroyed. OTHER CITIES ALMOST DESOLATD. In Gramalote there was great destruction, Arboleda, Cucutilla and San Cristoval are nearly destroyed. ‘The four last named places are almost obiite- rated. " THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS STRICKEN. The population of these towns ts estimated by a Person well acquainted in that region more or 1088 a8 follows :— San Cayetano, 4,000 persons. Santiago, 2,000 persons. Gramatete, 3,000 persons. Arboleda, 5,000 persons. Cucutilia, 5,000 persons. San Cristobal, 16,000 persons. THE AFFLICTED REGION. The section of country above referred to em- braces the regions around about where Colombia and Venezueia join, the Colombia portion em- bracing the State of Santander. It ts in some respects the most productive part of this Republic, and the coffee of this section is famous all the world over.

The shock of the eartnquake wus (eit svarply at Bogota and adjoining sections.

According to several authorities, both extraor- dinary and perplexing. In many places may be found traces of stupendous cataclysms and 4 dis- arrangement and intermixture of primitive and sedimentary rocks, In some places great rivers and even smali streams have cut throngh moun- tains of the hardest rocks, leaving dizzy escarp- ments on either side, wht! masses, lifted high above the general le’ the violence of volcanic agencies. That these sgencies have been active the late calam- ity sadiy attests, It appears that the ae- Siruction was greatest in the valiey of Cucuta, Which is situated on the Venezuelan frontier, @ mountainous region, snd the likely scene of such an overwhelming catastrophe. The city of Zalazar and the surrounding country, which ts entirely @ Volcanic region, safered se- braces the regions where Venezucia and Oolombia Joi, Ban José de Cacuta, the city of the most im- | either through the Venezuelan porte or down the | ‘The above particulars are all we have been adic | Tamaya were visited by several shocks of earth- | The geological conaitions of New Granada are, | verely.

The principal crops are coffee, cot- ton, sugar, cacao, maize, and in the higher lands Wheat and other grains, indigo and tobacco. Among the exports coffee holas the first rank. CONSULAR OPINIONS OF THE GREAT CALAMTTY— THE CONSULS OF COLOMBIA AND COSTA BICA INTERVIEWED. Mr. M. Salgar, Consul of the United States of Colombia, at No, 23 Pine street, had received no news yesterday with reference to the teariul earthquake at Cacuta, * WHAT THE COSTA RICA CONSUL SAYS. In conversation with @ HERALD reporter Mr. J. M. Munoz, Consul of Costa Rica in this city, stated:—It appears to me that the accounts received are somewhat exaggerated with refer- ence to the city of San José de Cacuta, with which place | am tn con: t business relations, if the Whole place has not been engulfed. According to tne best of my belief the popalation of that city is about 25,000 and is the capital of the State of San- tander. A considerable quantity of coffee came | down from that district to the port of Maracaibo, by the river Zalla, which port was closed, however, about three months ago, as a vindictive measure to punish the neighboring Danish tsiand of Cura- coa for being the headquarters of revolutionary uprisings in Colombia. “Coming back, however, to the subject of the earthqaake, I expect we shall have detailed news of the catastrophe by the Brazilian steamer duo here on the 19th inst, and whica vessel should leave St. Taomas to-day. FORMER VISITATIONS. “Early in this century a terrible earthquake oc- curred at Bogota, now the capital city of the the United States of Colombia. There have been also terrible earthquakes in Santa Martha and | Rio Hacha on the Atlantic coast. Iam of the be- lief that there were no volcanoes in the valley of | the Caea:a,’ YORMER GREAT EARTHQUAKES. | Among the most noted earthquakes may pe | mentioned that of Antioch, m 626, A, D. This ancient city has beea frequently visitod by eartn- quakes, Inthe year 116 A.D. it was almost en- | rely destroyed by this cause. HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII. In the year 79 A. D., an earthquake of a similar | Davure visited the northern shore of tne Mediter- ranean. The water, like the earth, trembled and moved to and fro like the waves of the ocean, and | belched forth lava, huge stones and ashes, and | soon—in a night Herculaneum and Pompeii were- | overwhelmed with scoria and ashes. Thousands of lives were lost, and the cities disappeared; and | existed only for centuries in tradition, ° LISBON IN 1766. | ‘This great earthquake commenced on November | 1, 1755. The tohabitants heard a rambling ve- neath them like the roll over hard ground of | heavy artillery. This was followed by a shock | which threw the greater part of the ctty to the ground in vast heaps of débris, burying beneath them thoasands of people. The shock lasted about six minutes, and in this brief period of time 60,000 people perished. The sea retired and Jers the harbor dry, and immediately afterward 4 great wave, fifty feet high, rolied in upon the land, The mountains were rent and thrown in irag- ments tn the valiey below. NEW MADRID, ON THE MISSISSIPPI. Tue earthquake which in 1811 visited New Mad- Tid, on the Mississippi, is the most important that ever visited North America. These earthquakes | continued with more or less violence until the de- struction of the city o1 Caracas, which took place March 26, 1812 In its ruins 12,000 people were buried.

Fred Grant, | of General Sheridan’s staff, arrived here on the | steamer Josephine this morning, at four o'clock, | returning from their exploration of the Yellow- stone River. Tne Josephine left Bismarck on the | 23d “of May, having these officers on board, and proceeded up the Missour: River, At Fort Stevenson, fifty miles above | nls potnt, one company of the Sixth infantry, | commanded vy Lieutenant Thompson, was taken on board as escort, and on arrival at Fort Buford, at the mouth of the Yellowstone, this escort | was still further increased by the addition of two | compantes of General Hazen’s command, all under | the command of Cypron Britan, Sixto infantry. Although General Sheridan had issued very strict orders prohibiting civilians irom accompanying the | expedition your correspondent was fortanately | able to obtain a position from which to record ail | | that occurred of interest. ‘The Josephine tert | Fort Buford on the 27th ult., and at once pro- | ceeded up the rapid current of the Yellowstone, whose very placid waters were now to be rumMed by @ steamer for the frst time. Itistroe this same steamer, the Josephine, had ta 1873 ascended as iar as the mouth of Powder River; but the object of the present expedition was to determine the st navigable point of the Yellowstone River, and iu connection | therewith, to examine the valley of this Big Horn , River, with a view to determine the best situa- tion for a military post.
