A DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKE.

Losa of lilfo and Proporty tn the VoW of Cashmere.

Lonion, June 2.—Despatches from Bom bay state that news has just been received there of a disastrous earthquake in Cash mere, a country of India. The seismic shocks began on Sunday, and have con tinued at intervals of 10 minutes ever since. The shocks were very severe at Serinagur, one of the capitals of Coahmere. The bar racks, in which several hundred soldiers were quartered, were completely de stroyed, collapsing so suddenly that nearly half of the soldiers were imprisoned in the debris. Fifty are known to have been killed, while fully 100 are more or less injured. A portion of the city has been demolished, while very few of the remain ing buildings escaped injury, many having large rents made in them, The people became panic-stricken shortly after tbe disturbances began, and fled from the city, taking refuge in boats and tents in the open fields. The total number killed and wounded is not yet known, nor the full extent of the damage done, owing to the interruption of the working of telegraph wires. It is feared the loss of life will be heavy, as latest in formation from there calls for help, saying hundreds of animals have been killed and the distreas among the people was very great. * The terrified inhabitants are now camped in the fields that surround the town. Serinagur is near the centre of the vale of Cashmere, and tho whole country has experienced terrible earthquake shocks. The damage caused throughout the vale is enormous. The loss of cattle alone is very groat, and tho affrighted people seem to be helpless. Succour is being cent to them as rapidly as the Indian authorities can organise relief. Many of tbe houses, on account of the large rents in the walls, must be razed to the ground. The shocks have not yet ceased, and this fact greatly retards the work of rescuing the people pinned down in the debris, and it is feared many of those must perish before they can' be reached by a relief party. Skeinaoub, June 2.—A mosque in the little town of Sopur, twenty miles north of here, was demolished by the earthquake, and 200 persons killed. London, June 5 —An official despatch from Serinagur gives the numb r of killed and wounded by tbe earthqu-iko thero on Sunday and Mot-day last as follows : Killed, 87 ; wounded, 100. Official reports have not been received from other points in tho Vale of Cashmere affected by earthquake shocks, and until they come to hand tbe full extent ot the calamity cannot bo known. Unofficial reports, however, are of such an alarming character as to make it more than likely the earthquake will prove oven more disastrous in its effects than tbe first despatches stated. Whole cities and towns in the vele of Cashmere are spoken of as de stroyed, and the absence of definite news Is attributed to the demolition of telegraph lines in the general wreck and chaos. In consequence, the magnitude of the calamity and the numbers killed and wounded are left for the imagination.. A century ago Cashmere contained well on to a million of people, but pestilence and earthquake have reduced the numbers to about half of that amount. In 182S, nine years after the terrible earthquake which submerged 2,000 square miles of land at the mouth of tbe Indus, a series of earthquake Bhocks destroyed thousands of people in the famous Valley of Cashmere, and drove other thousands to seek homos in a more peaceful region. After a time somo of them camo back to their desolated homes, but now tbe terrible agony is upon tbem again. For days together tho telegraph tells us that repeated shocks were felt at intervals of ten minutes, reducing whole villages to ruins. Cashmere lies enclosed in a fold ef the Himalayas, with high mountains surround ing it on overy side. As in California, the detritus from the mountains hat been washed down into the valleys, producing a soil of unexampled fertility. Some of the Cashmere wheat fields yield crops which -oe_ incredible. But with this advantage is coupled a marked disadvantage. Obser vations with the pendulum have established the singular fact that the earth's crust is thinner under tbe Himalaya range than anywhere else in India, and perhaps than anywhere olio in the world. Why this is, philosophers have not explained, but tha fact seems to be undoubted. It naturally follows that umder tho Himalayas the earth's surface presents less resistance to subterranean disturbances.

A COLLIERY DISASTER.

Throe Hundred Minors Imprisoned hy an

Explosion

London', June 3. -A despatch this afternoon from Durham says: A fire breke out in the Philadelphia colliery, situated near that city, at noon to-day. Three hundred miners arein thepifc,andallattempts so far to subdue the flames, or render assistance to the im prisoned men, have failed. Great excitement exists and it is feared the majority of tbe entombed miners will perish. A largo force of m.n is at work at the colliery trying to savo them.

.A later despatch says that all but twenty two of the miners have been rescued, and those missing are supposed to be killed. The fire was caused by an explosien of fire damp. Another despatch -from Durham states that tbe fire in the colliery near that place occurrea in the top eofth. of the " Margaret Fit v —the "Peggy pit," as it is Snewn lb" cally ; that it was caused by an explesien, and that tweaty-two men and boys were killed outright. The explosion was followed by a rush of water in immense volumes inte the Fulton seam. The miners, men and boys, hewever, were all taken out alive. Werking parties are now labouring zealously to stay the flood. The waters arc rushing into the Mandlin seam, where a great num ber of miners are imprisoned, and whom the reliefs hope to release and rescue.

SERIOUS EXPLOSION

Eight Thousand Pounds of Powder Ex ploded.

Mabysv-llb, May 28.—At 6.15 o'olock this evening the city powder house, situated at Fourteenth and H street, exploded with a terrible crash, shaking tbe city to its foundations. There was about 8,000 pounds of powder in it at the timo. The nearest house to it was situated one block away. It was occupied by two families, consisting of two mothers and five ohildren, who were eating supper at the time of the explesion. Tbe house ia a total wreck, the siding being entirely stripped from the front, and partly from the sides and rear. Bricks were driven clear through the building in places. The concussion threw the families to the floor, injuring all more or less by the concussion, ono child still remaining insensible. The county hospital, a large two-story brick building, situated two blocks off, was badly wrecked. Every glass sash and window blind in the building- was shattered to splinters, and the plastering in every room fell from the ceilings and sides. The walls were also cracked in places. Aside from the two buildings mentioned, there were no houses nearer than four blocks. More or less damage was sustained by all the build ings within six or seven blocks, and win dows were broken as far north as Second street. So far as known at present, no lives have been lost. The cause of the explosion is a mystery. The subject of the removal of the powder house has been under discus sion by the common council of the city for the past two months, but it was impossible to find a location within the levees but what would have been more dangerous than tho one it occupied.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY OF THE APACHES.

Massaore of Sixty-two Mon, Women, and

Children. Tucson, May 27.—The"Star's "Doming special says t The Indians are scattered in small bands in different parts of Southern New Mexico, mainly in the vicinity of the Black Kange. More than thirty citizens are reported killed. Many - havo been mangled beyond recognition, This evening Indians are reported in the vicirity of Cook's Peak, fifteen miles north-west of Deming. The greatest excitement prevails in the settlements on the Gila. No Indians have been killed or captured since the out break.

Denver, May 58.— Tbe "News" Silver City (N.M.) special says : The Apaches are making bloody trails through this section. It is now thought that three or four different bands are depredating and murdering in as many .actions of the Territory. The hos tiles are thought to number about 300, and have four chiefs with them—Geronimo, Nana, Natches and Chihuahua. This morn ing five dead bodies of a Mexican family, consisting of a man, wife and three chil dren, killed five miles from here, were brought in and buried today. One other person is known to have been killed in the same vicinity, and one badly wounded. The party which left here last night re turned to-day for a supply of fresh hones. They report numerous ranches on Bear Creek sacked, horses stolen', and cattle killed. The Indian trail was followed from thero to the Pinoa Altos foothills, where last night's killing was done. The Indians ap.

preached within four miles of Fort Bayard. Three troops of cavalry are now in pursuit. It ia reported that the Indians are doubling back on their old trail in the direction of Bear Creek. This band numbers seventy five to eighty. Another band on tho Gila River droro off 130 Head of horees. Two couriers are missing. Three additional prospector, wero killed on tho south fork of the Whitewater. One was named Joe Bunting, one Magnolia Creek. The latter made a brave fight and killed two Indians, one a chief. The fight was witnessed. by Bunting's partner, just coming into camp. He succeeded in killing two Indians before getting away. News is just received of ad ditional killings in the Black Range. Families from all the surrounding country arein town, and intense excitement prevails.

Tucson, May 29. —The feeling in Arizona is most intcn»e over die continued depreda tions of the Apache.. Sixty-two mon, women, anl children are known to ba\o been killed in Arizona and New Mexico, many of whom have been fearfully muti lated, especially women. Denvke, June I.—The "News'" Silver City (N. M.) special says : The Bear Creek ranchmen driven in by Indians a week ago returned home on Saturday. They found fresh Indian signs, and found the bodies of horses and cattle killed the same day. That night eight large Indian fires were seen on the neighbouring hills. *The ranchmen re turned to this city and reported the above facts. Yesterday twenty well-armed frontiersmen, headed by Mayor Floming of this city, started for the locality, determined to follow the trail until they overtake the Indians. A coariet from Captain Smith command says he had a short fight at Moulton's sawmill and his negro soldiers ran. A courier from Burro Mountains says that there are no Indian signs south of Mangus Valley, showing them to be chiefly north of this city, in the Bear Creek and Upper Mimbres country. Those not gone north to the Black Range are apparently beading for Arizona. Washington, June I.—ln a telegram to. the Adjutant-General, dated San Francisco,, May 28th, Major General Pope thus des cribes the movements of the troops now pursuing Geronimo and his band in New Mexico!—" The Commanding-General of the Department of Ari-osa telegraphs that Lieutenant Davis, with scouts, waa on the 24th met. fifty-live miles north-west of Silver City, N.M., tracing thehostiles, who are moving in the Black Range toward Fort Bayard, near which they would probably piss on the 28th. General Crook bas asked and received authority from me to go to Fort Bayard, where he can best direct the movements of his own troops along the western lino of New Mexico. I have authorised him to go to whatever point he could be of most service."

General Schoffield to-day telegraphed to the War Department tbe following des patch, dated Fort Bayard, yesterday, from General Crook, commanding the Depart ment of Arizona:—" Eight parties of troops are scouting after the Indians. The out look is very bad, and the troubles will be exceedingly difficult to soppress." It is learned at the War Department that be tween sixteen and twenty companies, com prising about 1,200 men, are in the field in pursuit of tho Indians.

ATTACK ON CARTAGENA.

Repulse of the Rebels In an Attempt to

Scale the Walla.

N_w Yobs, June 3.— The steamer wbich to-day arrived frem Panama brings the fol lowing account of tbe attack upon Carta gena : i ate news from Cartagena confirms the intelligence received by the Spanish gum boat Ferdinand El Catoiico and the Ameri oiu (lag-ship Tennessee. Gaitan on learning of the approach of the Government troops under Bricauo and their junction with the small force led by Gen. Vila at Siacoljo, resolved on making a general attack on Cartagena, assaulting it both by land and sea; but he paiddearly for his temerity. Securing a numb, r of scaling ladders, be cent a force by sea to approach, as silently as possible, tbe walls of the city, and to cover this movement he began a most furious attack along his whole line of siege-works, particularly at Lapopa. The assailants from the sea side suc ceeded in plaoiog many of their ladders, and a number of men succeeded in scal ing the walls. Had a sufficient number done so before making a demonstration to attract the attention of the besieged, their triumph would have been secure, but with characteristic enthusiasm, when only about sixty men bad reached the walls, they began theusual 4'vivas,"whlch brought upon them at once tho main force of the besieged. The result was that the attack by sea was repulsed with frightful loss—bay onet, machete and knife doing their deadly hand-to-hand work. Every man who reached the summit of the walls was killed or wounded, and many at their base who sought to escapebyswimming were drowned. The loss of Gaitan's forces was nearly 600 killed and wounded, and ef tbe Loyalists 14 wounded and 9 killed. After the repulse Gaitan withdrew his forces and proceeded to Barranquilla to await an attack by the Go vernment forces, and he has since abandoned the city.

CHOLERA SPREADING IN SPAIN.

Madrid, June 5 —The cholera epidemic ie raging with increased vimlenceat Valen cia and other towns in the south-eastern provinces of Spain. Tbo peasants.conlinue -tocnafO* under the restrictions imposed by the sanitary cerdons, and by their wilful neglect of the precautions prescribed by the authorities they invite and disseminate the disease. The report that cholera has made its appearance in this city is denied by tho Madrid officials, but this was also the case at Valencia for many weeks, and until after concealment became impossible Come truth is given to the report by new and stringent sanitary rules wbich have lately been mado and rigidly enforced. Paris, June s—Orders hare been sent for a strict cordon in the Pyernees on official re ports of the spread of cholera In Spain. The general opinion iv Paris and London seems to be that it wouMgreatly enhance tho safety of Europe if Prance would expend larger sums on sanitation in those filthy towns which are standing invitations to plague, and less on medicine. Efforts have been made to improve the condition of both Marseilles and Toulon since last year. The Spanish Government is also on the defensive, but its caution has taken a new Ehase. Farther insculation has been pro ibited on tbe ground that some persons who were <subjectod to it died. Dr. Farran, however, who introduced the system, and who has inoculated personally 6,000 per sons, denies that a single death has been caused by it. He is of the opinion tbat the Government Commission appointed to in vestigate the subject will report in favour of inoculation. Stanley Dined by a Missionary Society London, May'2B.—The Baptist Mission J ary Society gave a breakfast to-day to Stanley, the African explorer. In the address Stanley was thanked for opening up the way to the Ghristian-'sation of Africa, and for helping the missionaries to secure stations and to extend the influence of their, teachings. Stanley, in his reply, said he wasglad to havean opportunity of helping missionaries and of obtaining in return tbeir help to teach the natives. Formerly he ill-understood missionaries. However, since that ho had seen Livingstone, and it. cognised in him the typo' of noble and spiritual manhood, The real work of the missionary was hard, his privations were great, and his worldly reward small. In conclusion, Stanley expressed the hope that tbe Congo country would soon be well supplied with missionaries, and urged tho Society to be very careful about tho kind of men tbey sent as mission aries to Africa. Do not, ho said, send young men without first having taught them the practical life necessary to success the same as you teach your children. You wish to live long. Dead missionaries are of no more value than other dead men. Gordon dead is valueless. If he had lived, the civilisa tion of the Soudan, which received its deathblow in Gordon's murder, would have been dawning, and we would have the summer of civilisation flowing into the interior of Africa.

Henry AT. Stanley in his campaign in Europe on behalf of Congo State has shown scarcely less energy, enthusiasm, and taot than are displayed in his book on tbe Congo. His zeal is boundless and his industry un conquerable. ,

WM HAND GRENADES- The entire building is protected by the uso of 200 dozen of these EVER-READY FIRE KILLERS. This surely speaks volumes as to the securing the ; Public Buildings and treasures against mishaps. Also Hotels, Asylums. Hospitals, _ and Homes, in the country especially.
