BURIED IN ASHES
Eruption of Santa Maria in Guat
emala Said to Have Caused
Great Loss.
NO NEWS SINCE CALAMITY
Relieved All the 10,000 Inhabit
ant or Town ofHunU Maria
and Many Others Hate
Perished,
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. U.-Whlle
the steamer Newport was at Champerl
co, a letter was received from the fac
tor of that district, a German named
Kauffman, announcing thit the vol
canic peaK of Santa. Maria, 40 mile In
land from that port, was In eruption,
and that all the coffee districts on the
eastern slop of the range, in '.he Im
mediate neiffhliorhood of the mountain,
had oeen utterly destroyed and that
thousands of lives had in all proba
bility been lost.
The letter continues:
"The towns of Palmar. San Felipe,
Colombia and Coatcpec are all ruined.
Ashes are seven feet deep In the fincaa
and towns. Mud, stones and lava have
fallen all over the country. Houses
have been crushed by the weight of the
volcanic material that has fallen up
on them, iteiainuieu, uazaienango
Quexaltenango have not suffered so
much, but this calamity is only begin
ning. We have mud and ashes In Ret-
alhuleu. There is great losa of life.
Cattle and bores are dead by the
thousands. Famine and pest are ap
proaching. God help us."
Late In the afternoon of October 25
the people of Santa Maria telegraphed
to the president of Guatemala .saying
that they were groping In total dark
ness that had rushed upon them at
noon. Ashes were tuning uiua. inm
people ask-d the prjsile.it what wa
happening.
This dispatch was sent, apparently,
lust before the eruption ,ana not a
word has been sent since. The wires
of the telegraph have been destroyed,
and the fate of those who asked that
question of the president of Guatemala
Is a mystery profound and ominous. It
is thought In Champerico that there
are no survivors In the town of Santa
Maria, nor yet In any of the towns that
hang upon the eastern slope of that
mountain of belching mud and lava
on.i mnherino: rases. It may be a
second Pelee.

situated covers SO miles In a half cir

te noDulatlon is S0.O0O. The town or
Santa Maria contains 10,000 inhabitants
and the other villages are said to av
erage 6000.
