Most of the victims were mem bers of the group gathered in the church yesterGay to celebrate the festival of San Pedro’s patron saint. Only seven persons escaped from the church.

Within two hours roads were im passable and fields became vast, surging lakes.

Tater the = building collapsed, burying the dead and dying be neath its debris. Villagers interferred with the ef forts of federal troops to extricale bodies from the ruins, threatening to attack the soldiers because they believed the disaster to be an aci of vengeance sent from heaven. Earlier in the day authorities had entered the church, halted the services and arrested the priest. The superstitious Indians insisted the floods were retribution for this interference with their worship. Only three bodies had been re covered early today from the wreckage in Sap Pedro.
