For the seventh time in it.s history Cartago, former capital oi Costa Rica, lies <n ruins. Other cities ha\e been destroyed.

Piirnlflo a 11\viz11 east of Cartago, and Oro.si, twenty miles to t'10 southeast, are both reported to have met the fate t?f th?j larger city. The volcanoes Turlalba and trasu, already pftftluliy 01 wholly in eruption, give signs of a severe outbreak. The entire population of the central and northern sections of Costa Rica is in terror. The railroad running from hero to the north, with spurs to Cartago and San Jose, is tied up it is helU'ved that the line has been completely wrecked in places and that its reconstruction for a great portion of its length will prove necessary. All wires are down. The full extent ot the disaster is beyond tho grasp of startled Costa Rica. One of the richest parts of the country lies deaolated, the wreckage of Its houses covering hundreds of dead, and aid is urgently needed. Though Cartago, according to the fullest reports available, bore tho brunt of the shook, the earthquake affected a wide area, fully 200 miles in length and extending to Nicaragua The towns along the San Juan river, running near the boundary between Cos ta Rica ami Nicaragua, have all felt | the shocks severely, according to dlspatch09 from Greytown. Couriers arriving here brought news of damage done to San Carlos, Castillo, Viejo and Ochoa. Throughout tin; valley, the shocks have played havoc, and In at least oiig place the course of the river has been changed. Many settlements in the hills about Cartgo are believed to have been destroyed, besides Paralso, whose population Is SJ.rtoO, and Orosi, with 2,200 population.
