• Mexico City, Jan. 5.—Scores of per-
sona have been killed in,a violent
earthquake which occurred In many
parts of Mexico Saturday night. The
center of the disturbance is believed
to have been near the volcano of Ori-
zaba, ‘about 70 miles west of Vera
Cruz.
Incomplete reports indicate that the
State of Vera Cruz suffered more than
any other section, ^though seismic
disturbances were felt throughout the
Republic. Advices from Cordoba a»$ uuri
that thirty dead have' already breflkj. e
accounted for in. the vicinity of San
Juan Coscompatpec, where many
houses were destroyed. There are
unconfirmed reports of a similar ca-
tastrophe in the village of Huatusco.
At Jalapa, further north, fifty vic-
tims of the earthquake have been
counted, including numerous dead.
. Lack of communication with the
other towns and viilages in the thea-
ter of the disturbance make even an
approximate estimate of the casual-
ties impossible.
From San Juan Ooscomatepec It is
reported that the shocks still contin-
ued on Sunday. Information secured
from the government observatory at
Tucubaya show that there were three
distinct shocks, the strength of which
decentralized thfe instruments. The
first shock; which occurred at 9:45
o’clock on Saturday evening, lasted
five minutes. The second, at 10:25
was brief, but of terrific intensity and
was accompanied by terrifying sub-
terranean noises. The (hird shock,
at 11:01 o’clock, was not discernible
except by the seismograph.
The disturbances stretch from the
.Isthmus of Tehuanterec in a north-
western direction about 500 miles and
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean.
. The damage in Mexico City was lim-
ited to cracks in the larger buildings,
There were no deaths and none of the
inhabitants were injured.
While the government observatory
has no^ decided what caused the
shocks, reports received from Corbo-
da, State of Vera Cruz assert that they
were due to the, volcano Orizaba, al-
though the meager dispatches contain
nothing regarding a possible eruption
or of a volcanic disturbance.

London, Jan. 5.—Three hundred
armed Sinn Feiners attacked the po-
licy barracks at CarriglphlU at 10:00
o’clock Saturday night, according to
a dispatch to the Central .News from
Cork. The attacking forces fired vol-
leys for three hours and then blew
up the end of the building .with bombs <
Its otcupants were made prisoners
while the raiders looted the barracks.
The barracks was occupied by a
Sergeant and five Constables who re
.turned the r&iders’ fire. Finding
ntually that they were unable to
gain an entrance the raiders threw
their bombs entered the.breach made
in the building and seized and hand
cuffed, the policemen. They searched
the buildings, removing the arms, am-
munition and money, then held a
council as to the disposition of the
police and decided to leave them
bound, hut threatened that if any
attempt was made to repair the build
ing they would return and complete
its destruction.
The raiders left after cutting the
telephone communications, but police
assistance finally arrived from Cork.
It was found that none of the police-
men we,re hit, The Sergeant’s wife
and family, also in the barracks, were
uninjured.
