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
