No Loss a Life So Far Reported From There, Mexico City, Marra 30,-Chilapa, a town a 15,000 inhabitants in the State of Guerrero, has been shaken by an earthquake and burned. The shocks, two in number, edam - rest early last evening and were fol- lowed by fires, Originating in a dozen pieces among the tumbling buildings, which resulted in a contlagration that swept the town. - The town was largely destroyed, but no lives were lost. Most of the build- ings that were levelled were resi- dences. The people are said to twee fled the place in terror. 'Governor Damian Flores, the Chief En'ecutive of the State of Guerrero, who is at present in this city, had at 9 o clock this evening just received the first official advices front Chilapa. The message to the Governor says that while a number of the buildings of the town were levelled to the grnund, no lives were lost. The police and the police quarters and the Meyer's office were destroyed and the jail badly damaged. Great fissures Were made in the streets and open fields. In the neighboring town of Omtepeo the jail was destroyed and thirty prisoners made their escape. Treops are guarding the public build- ings that are standing in Chilapa, but peifect order prevails. s Later returns from Ohilapa show, hem ever, that the despatch received by Governor Flores was ultra conserv- attve, the town being for the most part destroyed by the combined action of' the earthquake and the fire. Details are but meagre, as telegraphic com- munication with Chilapa was severed and the town is two days by 'horseback from the nearest railway station. Cour- lora have been despatche'd to Chilapa froin Chilpancingo, some 45 miles dis- tant, and it is presumed that messen- gers for relief were sent from the burned city early to -day, and possibly immediately following the earthquake lase night. Thirty-four shocks have been record- ed during the past 24 hours by the seismograph at the National Obser- vatory fron the nearest raihvay sta- tion. e - LOST HER LIFE gg1 ith a Fiend in Defence of Her Honor.

Any of the wounds would heve caused. the woman's death.

The elettroeution was marked tbrougltout with eelerity, and in the minutest detail it was curried through- out to its culmination. The man was deehteed dead by the official time at 6.18, but by the watchea held by some of the newspaper reporters it was ten minutes after that time when the warden announced to the wit- nesses and the attendants, "Gentlemen, the physicians anuounee that the man ie "at.' The contact that was necessary for the man to lie killed was of 1,800 volts at 7 1-2 amperes, and it was held on three seconds more than a full rohnite, Whea this had been done careful examin- ation of the man's heart was made, but there was no sign, of life. Witnesses assembled at the warden's office at 0 o'clock, and at 0,10 the march from the, office down through the soutb wing of the prison to the death chamber wits .started. This was quickly over, and at (3,11, when State Electrician Davis made his test of the machinery, the witnesses wore all in hand Lena had their seats as- signed to them. The •test being finished, the word was givenaand the door lead- ing from the death cells was opened. Gillette, walking firmly and looking nei- ther to the right nor the left, came • briskly along the row end into tho cham- ber. On either side of hini was a minis- ter of the. gospel, Chaplain Herrick ein his right and Mr._ MacIlyrity on his left.

New York, March. 30. -Some little progress was made to -day in the. French-Amerioan wooing, when the Prince do Sagan left the Waldorf, took luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Morse at the St Regis and spent the efternoOn there incompany with Mme. Gould. • Whether the lovers considered be- • tween themselves the advisability of ' returning to Europe at Once or of staying o0 a few 'days more in the hope that a final appeal to George Gould to sanction. their marriage would be successful, could not be learned. The report that they. would be married within a month- m Am- erica if George Gould consented, and in Europe if he did not, however, was confirmed. At six o'clock the whole party, consisting of the Prince de Sagan, Mme, Gould, Mr. and Mrs, Tyler Morse and friends, then drove to the Hotel Gothamin three of the Moraes' machines, where they had dinner. • The prince seemed unaffected by a cable dispatch which came front Eur- ope to -day, saying that the Marquis de Castellane, father of the Count Boni, had called him a reckless prodi- gal, already $6,000,000 in debt, and adding that the door of every holiest man in France -was closed against him. The prince's attitude toward the Castellanes is, however, well known. 'Boni," he says, "is insignifieent. Lock me in a room with him and his three brothers and it would be they and not 1 who would ask for it to be opened." It was said to -clay that the unsym- pathetic attitude of her family is causing Mme. Gould much distress. Noe only in George Gould reported to hae e absolutely. refueed to. consent to. the _marriage, but Helen Gould, at whose house Mme. Gould is stopping, has also indicated her displeasure so strongly that. the relations between the two sisters have become quite fotmai. Partly as a result of this family opposition, the ptinee has seen Mme. Gould only three times sine() his arrival in America. The ill -success of the prince's visit from all points of view has disgusted both, and it.would be no surprise to - the friends of either to hear that One or other returns to Europe within a very few days, A iVIURDER -NlYSTERY. • Body of Woman Pound hi Arlington Cemetery, Arlington, Mass „Mardi- 20. -The body of a wountu, identified an Annie Mul- lins, of South Boston, who was employed • lie a domestic in a Cambridge hunily, with the throat cut deeply, and showing teeny hulieatione of murder, was found in 0 pit in St. Paul's Cemetery by two boys Saturday.

Lihensing BIM Will Pass. New York, March 20. -The Sun hae received the following cable despatch from London: John Burns, the Leber leader and President of the Local Gov- ernment Board, is always ci downright pelitician, and his declaration of the Government- attitude after the Peck- ham and other defeats in by-elections is characteristic. The Government, he declares, ie determined to remain in office for three more seseions, and •he adds: "We intend, be the conse- quences what. they may, to pass the licensing bill in both Houses, because ,we believe it to be ti just and necessary measure." How he proposes to force the bill through the House of Lords Mr. Burns did not deign to explain. Mr. Burns bandlesthe 'liquor trade without gloves.. He says: "Recent _ events prove that this trade is deter- mined on a raid en the people's inter- ests the like of which has never been contemplated before, The trade.is or- ganized. The Peckham election lois proved that the bung is on the bounce. It has method in its readiness. It does t slaut London 0' • ei civic centre. The publicans do eat like tram- - ways.; they carry people pest the pub- : lie houses. They do not like the comfort- . able housing of the people; it counter- acts, their own attractiOns. What the . trade really does like and want and be - live in is the warehousing of women and children, with the workhouse in ultimate view for public house victims."
