Tapachula, State of Chiapas,
Mexico, Nov. 3.—There is still great
alarm here owing to the eruption of
Santa Maria mountain, over the lino
in Guatemala. The common peo-
ple have been iu a stale of veritable
consternation, running about the
street# a* the ashes fell and regard-
ing their fate a* sealed. For flTry-
three hours the city was almost to-
tally dark, infusing terror into the
stoutest hearts.
_________________________ I
Surrounding coffee planters have
experienced great loss, and aero*#
the line in Guatemala many valu-
able properties have been do*t roved.
Tocana volcano, near Atliand,
shows no sign# of breaking out.
There has been no loss of life, but
thieves have taken advantage of the
terror and confu-iorTTb steal cattle
fi*0m neighboring ranches.
On the coast the ashes fell, cover-
ing the deck* of ship*, and there wa®
genuine terror experienced in I’ort
.San Benito.
One of the most terrifying expe-
riences here was the persistent loud
subterranean rumblings, often ap-
proaching in loudness the discharge
of a battery or siege guns.
It ha® been hard work to re-estnb-
li®h telegraphic communication with
the national capital, but the auth-
orities and telegraph official.® have
worked unceasingly. It was some-
thing of a relief of the strained feel-
ing* of the people to get again into
touch with the outside world. Bus-
iness is still depressed, as a sense of
fear rests on the people.
Palenque, which stands on the
epot where a great prehistoric citv
was built, was in a state of panic
when the darkness came. The ashes
fell abundantly.
It is feared that Central Amer-
ica is to experience still further dis-
turbances and great loss of life and
property.

tended that lots for churches were
to be 50x150 feet, but the secretary
holds they are to be the same size
as parsonage lot#.
