Central American City lu, Ruins Thousands Of People Homeless. Washington, Dec. 30.-Guatemala City, capital of tho little Central American republic of Guatemala, has been laid In ruins by a series of earthquakes beginning Christmns day and culminating last night in violent shocks which completed the work of (destruction. A cablegram to the Navy Department to-day said 125, 000 people were in the streets with out shelter and that a number were killed by falling walls. Following is the brief dispatch which brought the news of the Catas trophe: "Bad earthquake yesterday finish ed the work of others. Everything in ruins and beyond description as a result of last night's shock*TOne hun dred and twenty-five thousand peo ple are in the streets. Parts of/the country aro very cold and windy. Tents are neoded badly. Quite a number killed yesterday,by falling walls." The shocks probably occurred be tween ii.57 and 7 o'clock last night. Violent quakes.were recorded at that time by the seismographs of the .Georgetown University Observatory and the distance* was estimated at 1,900 miles from Washington. The machinery of the American Hed Cross has been set in motion to relieve the earthquake sufferers. In response to an appeal for assistance from Alfred Clarke, chairman of the Red Cross chapter at Guatemala City, a preliminary appropriation of $10, 000 has been authorized for tho pur chase of relief supplies. Materials for temporary shelters are being as sembled, but mildness of the climate minimizes fears of suffering from ex posure. At a gulf port large quantities of flour, potatoes, crackers and other staple foodstuffs, ns Well as disin fectants and stores of galvanized iron for temporary buildings, already aro being loaded aboard a vessel to sail for Barrios, on the east coast of Guatemala. As soon as news of the first quake reached Washington the Red Cross cabled an offer of assistance to tho President of the republic. The American minister also was asked to organize a committee of rellef work ers among the American residents.
