MEXICO SHAKEN UP.

to Pacific. ,
Central Mexico from the Atlantic
to the Pacific , and from Querato on
the north to Oaxaca ' on the south , a
distance covering more than 1,000 (
square miles , was shaken early Friday
by a series of the most severe earth-
' quake shocks felt In the region for a
quarter of a century. Reports of the <
loss of life are not complete but the <
official figures show that fourteen
were killed outright and more than a
score mortally injured. The towns ;
. of Acapulco and Chilpancingo , in the
state of Guerrero , have been partially
destroyed.
I Communication with that part of :
the republic has been imperfectly es-
tablished.
According to the observatory records !
the first shock of the series was felt
at 4:15 Friday morning , the rocking
oscillation being from east to south-
west. It was very severe , causing the
bells of the many cathedrals of the
city to toll , breaking crockery , and in
some instances leveling walls.
The people had hardly recovered
from the first fright when a second
and more severe shock caused an out-
pouring of nearly everybody to the
streets and plazas. This movement
was of a tripoditory and oscillators .
character and lasted thirty seconds.
The tall buildings of the city swayed ,
and in some instances cracked , the
pavement opened in places , and in
the poorer sections of the city a num-
ber of houses collapsed.
Six persons lost their lives in Mex
ico Oity and its environs as a result
of this second shock : , two men , three
women and a child. Four persons are
in hospitals and are so badly ' injured
that it is stated that they cannot re-
cover.

heard frorn a crowd of men in Auburn

rescue and the woman fainted. Th <
man undertook to leave the place , but

_
Rioting In Barcelona and Other
Cities in Catalonia Hourly Is
Becoming More : Serious.
filAETIAL LAW EVERYWHEEE
Returning King Learns'of Victory
at Heavy Cost in Moroccan
Battle. : .
Rioting in the provinces of , Cata
lonia , Spain , and the general manifes
tations of discontent in Madrid over
the continuance of the war against the
Kabyle : tribesmen in Morocco have ,
given rise to grave fears that the en- '
tire country is on the brink : of a feT -
olution.
' King Alfonso Wednesday declared
all Spain under martial law and an-
nounced a temporary suspension of
constitutional guarantees. He an
nounced that the rioting in Catalonia
would be put down at all costs and
arranged to dispatch to Barcelona at
once two cruisers and the entire Third
and Fourth Ar my corps , under the
personal command of Prince Charles
of Bourbon. Prince Ferdinand of Ba
varia also will accompany the troops ,
with the rank of squadron commander.
Kinpr : Is Hooted In Street
King Alfonso was publicly hooted on
the streets as he drove from the rail
road station to the royal palace on
his return from San Sebastian. Cries
of "Down with the king ! " were heard
on every hand.
Barcelona is the center of the worst
rioting , and it is there that the upris
ing against the war policy of the gov-
ernment seems to center. The author
ities feel that their first care must be
to break the spirit of the Barcelona
rebels , after which they can subdue
the malcontents in other places with
greater ease.
Wednesday marked a black chapter
in Spain's history , for there was trag
edy both at home and abroad. The
king reached Madrid in time to learn l
that part of his army at Melilla b. '
had a bloody battle with the Moors. "
which , though the final victory was - " ' \
won by the Spaniards , cost the lives
of twenty-one officers and a total of
200 Spaniards killed or wounded.
