Cherokee , which arrived today from Sau
Domingo -ports , brings details of the earth
quakes which have occurred with frequency
since December 29 last. Great damage has
boon caused throughout the whole country
and the Inhnbltinte wore driven from their
homes Iu a panic.
At C'43 In the morning of December 15 tbo
people In the northern part of the Island
were startled by n very severe trembling of
the larth , lasting fully twenty-five uecomls.
At I'orto I'lata and the surrounding
nolghborhcod. Including the Inland town of
Santiago , thla first shock was most severely
felt. Women nnd children rushed from their
homes Into the streotp. crying out to bo
sived. The swaying of walls-and the rock
ing of the earth caused a sensation of nausea.
The first shock was soon followed by another
and still another In rapid succession. Then
nil wan quiet until 2 p. m. , when another
slight movement was felt which caused an
other stampede of the Inhabitants. Many
people say that 'tho ' water from < 1nuscd !
wells was scon to surge up level with the
ground and almost as rapidly dl.-appoar .
again. It Is calculated that damage to the
amount of $23,000aa done In the pmall port
of Porto I'lata ajom > The Central Domingo
railroad suffered. , severely , traffic being In
terrupted slnco the occurrence of the earth
quakes. The submarine cable to Ilaytl was
affected by 'tho ' eel4.hllfc movement and com- ,
munlwtlon was Interrupted.
At Santiago a' number of churches were
rendered dangerous for use , cemetery walls
were ruined and a chapel fell as though It
had leen struck by a bombshell. The gov
ernment bulldlnj-t * vffre damaged to a great
extent nnd y.111 flepd extended repairs. If not
complete rebuilding. The grand edlflco of
Santa Ccrro , ono'of the oldest in the western
honilsphcro aiid1 dating from the time of
Columibus , was cntlr'dly destroyed.
Almost every fiW'filncc December 20 there
have 'been shockxfyut of a comparatively '
hirmlooj nature. , "As"far as known there his ,
been no losy ot H7e. The shocks were
perceptibly felt lbn'luoard of vessels in the

NEW YORK. Jan. 19. The Evening Post's
London correspondent cables today as fol
lows :
I An unfavorable view Is taken of the flnan-
I clal position of Austria , and It Is 'based on
i economic conditions. The shortage of the
| harvest In Austria-Hungary is much greater
than has been anticipated. Advices from
j good quarters Indicate that It will bo necessary -
' sary to Import 20,000,000 worth of food sup-
i piles. This will have an Important affect on
exchanges.
I Austria accumlatcd gold largely for cur
rency reform. Under the conditions men
tioned a postponement of the currency meas
ures Is not Improbable. There Is evidence
that the Austiuui bank lately restricted the
sale of foreign 'bills. ' A further rise In Aus-
tilan exchange would probably mean the resale -
sale of Austrian securities to Vienna , so ac
centuating the rlso. Therefore It Is not 1m-
| posslblo that a portion cf the gold accumu
late. ! may bo exported. Such prospects , I
' bollevo , will irot be without effect In deter
mining the German bank rate , which Is ex
pected to decline soon. Action on the mat
ter was deferred tcday.
