A DflfcAbFIL EARTHQUAKE AT SAM SAL
VADORLOSS or LlFK.
a circumstantial account of , the terrible
earthquake which occurred at San Salvador,
on the 10th of Aptil las!,! Is girett in the
government organ of San Salvador, which
we find translated in the New York Hetald
The wotk of destruction -was accomplished
in ten second. The population of the city
is about 25,000.' San Salvador is the eapitol
of the country of that name In Central Amer
ica. It has suffered greatly in pint! timet
from earthquakes. Severe ones are recorded
as hitving ocourred in the years 1975, 1393
1635. 1686. and 1798. Another, which oc-
cured in 1839, shattered the city, and led the
noonle of, abandoning it. The volcano bas
also, several times, thrown onl sand, and
threatened general devastation. But none
of the earthquakes alluded to were compara
ble with that now recorded. . The event has
inspired so profound 4 terror, that the people
do not propose to return again to the same
site, but to select a new locality for : their
eapitol.
nnln of lha City of San Salvador.
The night of the 16th of April, 154, win
ever be one of sad and bitter memory for the
people of Salvador. On that unfortuaate
night 'our happy and beautiful eapitol was
made a heap of ruins. Movements of the
earth were lelt on the morning of Holy
Thursday, preceeded by sounds like the roll
ing of heavy artillery over pavements, and
like distant thunder. The people were a lit
tle alarmed in consequence of this phenome
non, but it did not prevent them fiom meet,
ing in the churches to celebrate the solemni
ties of the day. On Saturday all was quiet,
nd confidence was restored. The people of
the neighborhood assembled, as usual, to cel
ebrate the passover. The night of Saturday
waa tranquil, as was also the whole of Fun
day. The heat, it is true, was considerable,
but the atmosphere was calm and aeiene.
For the first three hours of the evening noth
ing unusual occurred ; but at half-past nine
a severe shock of an earthquake, oecut ring
without the usual preliminary noises, alarm
ed the whole city. ; Many families left their
houses and made encampments in the pub.
lie squares, while others prepared to pass the
nieht in their respective court yards. :
Finally, at ten minutes to eleven, without
premonition of any kind, the earth began to
heave and tremble with such fearful force
that in ten seconds the entire city was pros
trated. The crashing of houses and churches
stunned the ears of the terrified inhabitant,
while a cloud ot dust from the fulling ruins
enveloped them in a pall of impenetrable
darkness. Not a drop of water could be go(
to relieve the half-choked and eulTocating,
for the wells and fountains wero filled up or
made dry. The clock tower of the Cullie.
tlral carried a great part of the edifice with it
in its fall. The towers of the church of San
Francisco crushed Hie Episcopal Oralqry and
part of the palace. The church of Santo
Domingo was buried beneath its towers,
and the college of the Assumption was en
tirely mined. The new and beautiful edi
fice of the University was demolished. The
Church of the Merced seperated in the
centre, and its walls fell outward to the
ground. Of the private houses a few were
left standing, but all were rendered uninhab
itable. It is worthy, of remark that the walls
left standing are old ones ; all these of mod
em construction have fallen- The public
edifices of the government and city shared
the common destruction.
The- devastation was effected, as we have
eai.l in the first ten seconds J for although
the succeeding shocks were tremendous and
accompanied by fearful ramblings beneath
our feet, they had comparatively trifling re
sults, for the reason that the first had left
but little for their ravages.
Solemn and terrible was the picture pre
sented on that dark, funeral night, ol a whole
people clustering in the plazas, and on their
knees crying with loud voices to Heaven for
mercy, or in agonizing accents calling for
their children and friends, which they be
lieved to be buried beneath the ruins'. A
heaven opaque and ominous; a movemeut
of the earth rapid and unequel, causing a
terror indescribable; an intense sulphorous
odor filling the atmosphere, & indicating an
approaching eruption of the volcano ; streets
filled with ruins or overnung oy inreaienin,.
walls; a sufiocating cloud of dust almost
rnlrinT respiration impossible. Such was
the spectacle presented by the unhappy city
on that memorable and awful night.
A huudred boys were shut up in the col
ice, many invalids crowded the hospitals,
and the baracks were full of soldiers. The
sense of the catastrophe which must have
befallen them gave poignancy to the first
moments of reflection after the earthquake
was over. It was believed that at least a
fourth part of the inhabitants had been bu
ried beneath the ruins. The members ol
the government, however, hastened to ascer.
tain, as far as practicable, the extent of the
catastrophe, and to quiet the pnblio mind.
It was found that the loss of life had been
much less than was supposed, and it now
appears probable that the number of the kit.
led will not exceed one hundred, and of
wounded fifty. Among the latter is the
Itishop, who received a severe blow on the
head ; the late President, Kenor Duenas ; a
daughter of the President, and the wife or
the Secretary of the Legislative Chambers
the latter severely.
The movements of the eaith still continue,
with strong shocks, and the people, fearing
general swallowing up of the site ol the city,
or that it may be buried under some sudden
eruption of the Volcano, are hastening away-
