There were, according to re port, at least twenty people buried in the ruins of the hotel, while over a dozen are said to have met death in the ruins of the two stores. There were a number of escapes from death. When the build- ings fell, after the explosion, a number of people were passing.

It was only with difficulty that he was rescued by his comrades, The number of dead is not positively known, but it is judged that the ma jor- ity of the bodies will be found in the ruins of the hotel. All that remains to be done is to overhaul the ruins and pick out the dead.
