historic ealQco blots oat many a page in
Central American history , as all thonutional
and international archives of Salvador were
destroyed as well The palnce was unin
bu red-and S3U0O0O could not replace it
Portanatcly the disaster was unattended
with loss of life All business with the gov
eminent is practically suspended for the
time being It is almost impossible to eon
ccivo the treat import inco of this building ,
but when it is berne In mind that it included
the balls of congress the offices of four sec
retaries of state , the presidents office ,
the national treasury , supreme court
supei ior court of appeals besides the offices
of the liquor , internal and maritime revenue ,
together with all their ui chives and bistort
cal documents and treaties ono is not sur
prised that the destruct on of all this valua
ble property , apart from the building itself ,
must bo keenly felt bv tbo people of Salva
dor , and in fact of all Ccutial America
It is not yet known uoyv the dro origin

bode no { oed to the nrovalllng peace of Cen-
