Eight Hundred Corpse Du Out of the Rains of the City Much Suffering Anions: Survivors. ASHKABAD. Russian Turkestan, Dec. 23. Even tho worst of the earlier reports of the recent earthquake disaster at Andllan quite underestimate the appalling loss.

The work of excavation, progresses slowly. The state treasury, containing 5,OX,000 roubles, 13 In the ruins, end excavations to get the money are carried on under the supervision of a strong cordon of pollc.. The water in the wells has disappeared ard' a general subsidence of tht Elte of the town is feared. Large numbers of laborers are being sent to excavate. Sappers have arrived and are expected to make more rapid progress The shocks continue with increasing violence. The area of seism!?. disturbances comprises two hundred equate versts. The Russian population is camping at the railroad station, where live hundred cars are placed at the disposal of the popu lation, ire local government officials are quartered in cars. .Shed3 for the destitute are being built as rapidly as possible.
