Acapulco Dazed by Theater Horror,
Du* to Incompetence.
Mexico City, Feb. 17.— Late dis­
patches from Acapulco, where the
Flores theater was burned while the
structure was crowded at a perform­
ance given in honor of Governor Dami­
an Flores, of the state of Guerrero,
bring varying estimates of the loss o f
life. Tney agree in declaring, how­
ever, that the dead will exceed 210,
while some place the figure as high aa
359. Most of the dead were burned
beyond recognition.
Acapulco is dazed by the catastrophe.
AU business at the port has ceased,
the shops have closed and the people
are crowding the churches where mass­
es are being celebrated for the dead.
The fire, which spread with incredi­
ble rapidity through the immense wood­
en and adobe structure, was due, it is
charged, tu the carelessness ami inex­
perience of the operator of the moving
picture machine. There was an explo­
sion, a burst of flame, which ignited
the bunting used for decoration, and in
a few minutes the entire structure was
in flames.
The exits were all in the front part
o f the building, which was almost im­
mediately turned into a wall o f fire and
the people were entrapped.
The wo­
men and children suffired most and
comprise a majority o f the dead.
A search of the ruins has thus far re­
vealed no recognizable human form.
Charred bodies, from which legs and
arms have been burned, have been
taken from the ruins, ai d as there was
no chance of identifying them, all have
been buried in a common trench.
