EARTIIQUAKE IN VENEZUELA. ---0 TIIE STORY 01 TIiIJ DrS"STER BY AN JSY'E WIT2NE5S. A Town De ti oyed--How the Inhabl ttents of Cu' saiw Two Hundred of Tihoir Number nlain. [ F-0n the (, (k 1er Yii] CAniRs, MI-y 1, 1873.-Wo lve been suffering for wooks pist from uncommon hoat ; the sky has boon overcast and fiery, our expected rains have nut come, our fiolds are parched and the death roll in the city has greatly increased. Our city is surrounded by high moun tains, and theio have boon all ablaze for weeks. At night the scene is grand and weird. High above on all sides, the fl.ines onwrapping the mloutintt tops and the steep inlc cessiblo points, whiring iand eddy ing the fitful gusts and daneing in and out of the h1 ,llows as it were in merry sport, biddingdefianco to the hundreds of people trying to stay its wild fury, which seemed deter mined to consume all the green things around us and leave us bare of verdure ; or it might be a deter mnination to give us a specimen of fireworks and illumination for our Holy Week, about to begin. How. ever that way be, our attention to the scenO was suspended on the 12th nit., at ab-int twenty minutes to nine p. m., by something much more interestig. At that moment I heard a noise like a thousand ton engine rushing at full speed over tle rough palment, with the unl1 earthly shrieking of a dozen locomo-. tivus run mad. Then the ground beneath me began to move and roll and shake, and the u ails of the houseseemed disposed for a dance, and the ceiling began to drop sl)ecinens of its plastering. About that time I and my household found the open yard a very ploas.an t place, and then in three or four seconds it was tver, and all was quiet in nature. Not so, however, with the people. They kept up a terrible awL)uiult of screamirm1g and praying and kneeling fur some time. Later I in the evening I took a stroll through the liflerent parks and open places and found them all tilled with people. some with beds and some without,but all dotermined to keep out of the houses, which might tumble upon thet if another shako as severe should cone. All had the fear of another catastrophe like that of 1812 bol'ora their minds. I But only slight shocks were felt afterward. Abot nine o'celoek the next night another quito severe one was felt. NU dam igo of importance occurred in the city. One house in the suburbs had its roof shaken down. A few pictures and mirrors fell from the walls. A saint or two in the churches fell from their places and were broken-fell from grace, I supp1ose. DEsGTRUcTrIoN OF cUA. But if Caracas has escaped unfor tunately some othmer places in the vicinity did not. Several villages, towvns anid haciendas near here wero more or less injured1. It was re Herved for the town of Cua to suffer in a most fearful manner, receiving about all the ser.ious damage re sulting from thme shock. Ca lies about flifteen miles from here, and is, or was, a handsome, flourishing town. The shock of the 12th en tirely destroyed it. The loss of life is fearfnl. No full account has yet beon obtained of the number hilled. About two hundred have thus far b)een taken from the ruins. Three hundred soldiers from this city, aided by ai large number of volun teers, worked with the most uin relaxing energy in the difficult tad laborious task of extricating the bodies. TJhe etench~ was almnost in - supportable. After thme search had ceased, fire was alpli0d to the rnins, in order to prevent a pestilence. The government under General AMeant ira used every exertion to alleviate the sufferings of the sick, the wvounded and the houseless. The president, at the first news of the disaster, despatched a large body of men to their relief with cart: loads of provisions. Heb also sept doctors and surgeons to care for th:ewinred, as -well as coaches to' bring the people into the city, and announce.d thant he took the' Mnf fea'ers 81 under his private protoee. tiog. Thig noblapt has nvon for hiti nhnost every house there were vice tims either killed or wounded, or both. Fortunately the hour was early. Had it been two hours later, when the majority of people would have been in bed, it would have been muth nore dread!ful. For tunately, alR, the d ty and ovenin had been oxtreanely hot, and miny ) 1)10 were out trying to c.tt^h a little co.>lnGsS in the open parks, an:i so were preserved. THE CATHEDRAL WRFOKED. Ono gentleman who was in the park says he was looking at the cathedral and admiring its architec tural beauty, when suddenly it seemed to rise straight up in the air, as if about ascending to heaven, and, being thrown clear off its foundations, it fell forward to the ground in one mass of ruins. Not a stick or stone of the nole edifice remains in place. It is" a total wreck. INoIDENTS. The river Tui, running through the city, had been, they say, so hot that all day they had been unable to drink its water ; and the fishes had been obs.rvnd to be very uneasy, jumping frequently out of the water, where they apparently were being made uncomfortable by its beat. On the banks of the stream great fissures were opened which bec.uno tilled with water that gave forth such a stench that poo, ple who had encamp,-d on its banks were obliged to leave the vicinity. Small hillocks of sand were thrown up in different spots, having the same smell. Nearly all the coffee and sugar plantations for several miles around Cua have been serious ly damaged. The other towns lying near Ona have all been more or less injured, but fortun Ltely no lives have been lost. It is believed that in no other place lives have been lost. POPULAn TEIofR. During Holy WQek we had im pressive ceremonie in the churches, with processions in the streets, at tended with all the pomp and 3plendor which the church knows so well how to display. Beautifully ornamented platforms filled with flowers and ribbons, and wreaths of tinsel and hundreds of candloe were carried from church to church, and on the diffarent platforms were life size figures of Our Saviour and His Cross and the Magdalen. Others represented the Virgin, others the apostles and other holy personages. Soldiers in full uni, form followed them all, and musio and banners, incense and chanting priests and squeaking fiddles and thousands of bareheaded worship, pers. Well, in one of these pro cessions a woman became frighten ed and screuned. The people thought it was an earthqualce and made a rush. In the scramble many fell and were injured, and it is uaid one person was killed. The President issued an order to stop the processions and close the churches till tbhe 28th. To crown the popular terror a prophecy has just been p)ublished that in April, Jutne and October of this year we are to have terriblo destruction of property, wvith appalling loss of life all over South America. In referring to this prediction people I Lugh, but their blanched cheeks throwv a shade of incredulity over their merriment. They are an exeitable people, and especially on thliO subject of earthquakes are they easily wrought into terror, as seems quite natural, when they see on all sides -around them the ruined houses and walls, enduring moementoes of the awful calamity which bereaved and wrecked their city in 1812. ANOTHER SHAKE. We had another earthquake here yesterday at about nine, a. mn., dur-. ing services in church. It drove the worshippers out in a rush. Several people were thrown down ruld tramplled upon. Many ladies lost their jewelry, watches, bracea lots, &c., as well as the trails. of dresses. A majority of the chureh. goinlg people here, as well as else where, are women. and it appears that all the male worshippers . pa bhis occasion were inclined, to be, shieves. No serious injury ga0 lone to the city, but a small to*n, ~alled Ocumase, five or' six tallas !romi Cuai, was destroyed.' a W.
