BY BIC'PKE Meager Details Report Many Villagers Killed. City of Mexico, April 16.—Dispatches received here today say that the city of Cbllpandngo was completely de stroyed by the fierce earthquake which visited this section Monday morning early. It Is said that nearly fifteen people were killed by collapsing houses and falling walls, and twice that number were fatally Injured. The villagers are panic-stricken and the people are flee ing to the open country. The wife of Postal Inspector Leo- poldo Lopez Guerra Is reported among the killed. The telegraph operators have Installed temporary posts In an open square and have resumed com munication. Dispatches say that the town of Chll- apa has been demolished and that hun. dreda of the Inhabitants killed and In jured. This has not been confirmed, however, and It Is not believed that many people were killed. This town was visited by nn earthquake four years ago. Nothing has. been heard from the town of Tixtln, a town midway be tween Chllpanclngd and Chllapa. Com munication has been cut off since the earth began to rock Monday night, and It Is believed that the town has been destroyed. The National Bonk of Mexico recelv. cd a dispatch yesterday that 600' lives were lost In tho wreckage at Chllpan- clngo. It Is not believed here, how ever, that the death list will be as heavy as the houses are built of mas sive stone block In order to withstand earthquakes. The governors of the Bravos and Chllapa districts have appealed to the federal government for tents and sup plies for the homeless and starving people and military engineers, troops with supplies have been forwarded. Volcano Colima Active. Advices received by Mexican Central railway officials state that Colima, an old volcano In tho state of Colima, has been violently active for the past three days. This, It Is believed, Is the cause of the earthquakes In the Southern states^ the past two days. Conservative estimates number the lives lost In southern districts of Mex ico at more than five hundred. Much property was destroyed throughout the states of Colima, Mlchoacan and Mexi co Pueblo. Colima Is still active. Thousands In their night clothes rushed from their homes and women fell on their knees and prayed, or hold ing up their children Implored the saints to protect them. No one In the city slept afterward and the city Is In semi-panic lest the shock be repeated. The asphalt pavement on Chico de Mayoo, a large business thoroughfare, was crocked open for thirty feet. Messages from as far north as Snn Luis Potosl and as far south as the city of San Juan Baptlsta, In Tobasco state, show that the shock was felt In varying degrees there. But at no place has a loss of life or great destruction of property been reported except In Guerrero state. From these reports It would seem that the earth tremble was wider In extent than any during the last half century. The north line of the present shock extends across the country In a northwesterly direction for more than four hundred miles and the southern lines more than six hundred miles. * PASSENGERS GIVE PURSE TO AGED WOMEN ABOARD.
